In 2012, long before their official 2013 release as a reimagined version of Chloé’s earlier Susan boot, the Susanna studded ankle boots were already making waves among Hollywood fashion tastemakers like Diane Kruger, Kate Bosworth, and Ashley Tisdale.

Blending traditional cowboy boot silhouettes with a glam-rock edge, the Susanna boots channel Chloé’s distinctive fusion of bohemian femininity and rebellious spirit—a legacy rooted in the brand’s Parisian origins, established by founder Gaby Aghion in 1952. That year, Mandy Moore embraced the trend, stepping out in West Hollywood in the iconic triple-buckle design, adding a cool, unexpected twist to her typically polished look.

Known at the time for her polished, preppy aesthetic, Mandy’s choice of footwear marked a noticeable shift toward a more edgy, rocker-inspired look.
