n fashion, what goes out of style always comes back. This was certainly the case during this past fall 2024 season, when Chemena Kamali’s Chloé show in Paris revived a persisting look on the runway—the infamous boho-chic trend.

You know the vibe: Think lots of white lace and cascading ruffles, evoking a romantic and free-spirited feel. Such bohemian fashions have ebbed in and out of favor since the groovy 1970s—though the trend really ignited during the early-2000s, when stars like Sienna Miller, the Olsen twins, and Nicole Richie were pairing ruffled blouses with extra-wide belts and studded boots.

Now, thanks in large part to Chloé, the look is back with a vengeance. While a handful of stars are embracing it yet again, bohemian dressing looks a lot different in 2024.

Miller, for one, stepped out in Paris wearing a white slip dress with lace trim. It’s a bohemian staple she juxtaposed with a cropped leather bomber jacket and sky-high platform wedges. Had this been the 2000s, she would have paired the same slip with cowboy boots and a fringed jacket; her more refined accent pieces made it feel entirely new. Ditto for Rihanna, who recently paired a lace mini skirt with a hefty leather and shearling coat; The look was more rock and roll boho, less romantic boho.

The neutrality of these looks are also the key to their success. Where the boho-chic outfits of yesteryear were loud (in colorful shades of red and teal), the 2024 approach clearly revolves around quieter shades of brown, black, and beige. Call it an effect of stealth-wealth or what not—but it seems even the boldest of trends are having a more discreet second life.
