Festival style flashback: Kate Bosworth at Coachella remains a mood like no other. Long before crochet became a festival staple, the Wonderland actress was already channeling retro ’70s charm under the desert sun with a look that still feels as relevant today as it did in 2010.

At the festival, she fully embraced the flower-child ethos in a breezy Topshop crochet mini dress, brown suede cowboy ankle boots, and her trusty Mulberry Leah shoulder bag in mushroom plonge lambskin. This ensemble perfectly captured the carefree Coachella spirit. Her hippie-inspired outfit wasn’t just of-the-moment; it set the tone for festival fashion trends that continue to resurface every spring.

While her crochet dress and Mulberry bag gave off fresh Coachella energy, the boots told a different story. Kate’s choice of Isabel Marant’s coveted “Forbes” suede ankle boots wasn’t a one-off—it was a favorite she had already taken for a spin earlier that month at Joan’s on Third in Hollywood.

Styled then with the same Mulberry Leah bag and Tom Ford’s Cary sunglasses, the repeat wear only underscored her effortless, signature approach: investing in timeless pieces she could rework from lunch dates to festival fields with equal ease.

The Isabel Marant Forbes boots are highly sought after for their exclusive availability and unique Western-inspired style. Until her partnership with Net-a-Porter in the spring of 2010, Isabel Marant limited her sales to select boutiques in Paris, making it challenging for fans outside France to own a pair.

In March 2013, Emma Roberts gave her own twist to these boots, pairing them with an Alexa Chung for Madewell suede pixie jacket. The cohesive look highlighted the versatility of the Forbes boots, showcasing how different celebs bring their unique styles to this coveted footwear.

Bosworth’s love for Isabel Marant goes beyond just these boots. In September 2011, Kate Bosworth wore a red knitted pullover from the Isabel Marant Spring 2011 collection while on a date with Michael Polish. On Your Next Shoes, you can also see her in Isabel Marant wedge sneakers paired with a minty sea-foam pleated maxi skirt.

Kate Bosworth’s effortlessly chic style and her repeated choice of Isabel Marant pieces solidify her as a true fan of the brand!
