Following Gabriela Hearst’s departure, Chemena Kamali assumed the role of creative director at Chloé in October 2023. Although Hearst left some huge shoes to fill, her successor did a fantastic job with her first collection for the luxury fashion house, which was unveiled during Paris Fashion Week.

Featuring plenty of fringes, laces, and frills, Kamali brought Chloé back to its bohemian origins with her debut Fall 2024 collection. Her footwear line also pays homage to the label’s boho beginnings, with clogs, boots, and pumps adorned with fringe and stud accents.
Practically every person in the Chloé Fall/Winter 2024-2025 front row opted for wedge shoes, but to everyone’s surprise, they were all wearing the same “Maxime” wedges. They feature wide black leather crossover vamp straps, peep toes, buckled slingback straps, and chunky wedge heels adorned with random doodling.

Chloé’s “Maxime” wedges are leading the charge in the Spring 2024 wedge revival, standing out for their retro-meets-bohemian design. Reintroduced in the Fall 2024 collection, the style revives a cult silhouette from Phoebe Philo’s Spring/Summer 2006 era at the house.
Their most distinctive feature is the carved sole, etched with “love notes on trees” — a nostalgic detail referencing Chloé’s heritage. The engravings include dates, names, and even a nod to founder Gaby Aghion, with the year 1952 debossed into the wedge, grounding the design in both romance and legacy.
At Paris Fashion Week, Kiernan Shipka, Sienna Miller, Kathryn Newton, and Georgia May Jagger all stepped out in the same Chloé pair — yet each star brought her own spin to the look. Here’s how they styled the now-viral wedges.
1. Kiernan Shipka’s Retro-Glam Take in Knitwear & Chloé Wedges
Kiernan Shipka grew up before our eyes, going from the young star we used to see around in dreamy gowns to an adult who is now brave enough to show off some skin. Measuring just 5 feet 2 inches (157.5 cm), the petite actress wears a US shoe size 6.
The Mad Men actress appeared to have forgotten her trousers as she stepped out in just her knitted high-waisted underwear, which was olive green.
While the olive green shade was on-trend and flattering, the overall styling felt a touch unfinished. A coordinating skirt or tailored shorts could have elevated the look’s polish. Still, Kiernan carried the daring silhouette with confidence, showcasing her toned legs and embracing the bold trend of wearing underwear as outerwear.

The 24-year-old actress paired the look with a matching cable-knit cardigan featuring partially undone gold buttons, which showcased her underwear and a hint of her flat abs.
She kept her accessories cohesive, pairing her Chloé wedge sandals with a black leather purse and sunglasses. A dainty gold necklace, earrings, and a ring tied her look together.
Kiernan opted for a retro glam look, adding a dash of nostalgia to the contemporary pantless trend. Her hair was crimped and teased, resulting in voluminous curls cascading around her shoulders.
Soft, smoky eye makeup highlighted her hazel eyes, and a dash of pink lipstick and blush finished her look.

2. Sienna Miller’s Modern Bohemian Chic With Lace Slip Dress
Sitting next to Kiernan Shipka was Sienna Miller, who was rightfully invited to the show due to her reputation as the bohemian queen of the 2000s.
Fresh off welcoming her second child in December, Miller — who stands around 5ft 5in (165 cm) and wears a US shoe size 8.5 — radiated a post-partum glow in a modern interpretation of bohemian chic, reaffirming her status as the reigning queen of boho dressing.
The bohemian aesthetic is all about being relaxed and free-spirited, and Miller perfectly embodied the boho mood with her flowing, white slip dress adorned with lace accents. The lace-trimmed sides and zigzag hem gave the otherwise plain white dress a stylish touch.

While the lace slip dress was partly obscured, Miller’s decision to layer it with an oversized black leather motorcycle jacket added a fresh, tough-chic contrast to the bohemian silhouette. The jacket’s wide collar, utility pockets, belted sleeves, and rib-knit lining gave the ethereal base a youthful, urban edge.
Sienna Miller maintained coherence by accessorizing with a black purse and oversized black sunglasses that matched her hefty wedge heels and blazer. She wore a statement ring, a delicate necklace, and a pair of earrings for a dash of glitz.
Her blonde hair was worn in waves, and her simple peach makeup accentuated her inherent beauty.

3. Kathryn Newton’s Boho-Goth Fusion in Lace Top & Flared Pants
Kathryn Newton has carved out a signature style that fuses elegance with timeless silhouettes and a touch of retro nostalgia.
Standing 5ft 5¼ (165.7 cm) tall and wearing a US shoe size 7.5, the Lisa Frankenstein star leaned into sleek minimalism at the Chloé presentation, choosing an all-black ensemble that still echoed the show’s bohemian spirit.
She paired her two-tone wedge heels with black flared trousers that accentuated her slender legs and a bohemian-style cropped lace top that revealed a glimpse of her abs.

Her ornate, sheer lace blouse, intricately embroidered with classic bohemian details like wide bell sleeves and a plunging V-neckline, provided a romantic counterpoint to the sleek simplicity of her flared trousers.
Keeping the look modern, Newton opted for understated rings instead of a necklace, paired with oversized black sunglasses and a beige purse featuring a gold ring handle. Soft waves and delicate pink makeup finished the ensemble, underscoring her signature blend of elegance and edge.

4. Georgia May Jagger’s Leather-Coat Edge With Statement Wedges
Like Kiernan Shipka, Georgia May Jagger left her pants at home and put her toned legs on display for the Chloé fashion presentation during PFW.
The 32-year-old model cut a striking figure in a supple black leather coat trimmed with fur, though the pared-back styling felt surprisingly minimal for fashion week. Standing 5ft 5½ (166.4 cm) tall and wearing a US shoe size 8.5, Jagger relied on Chloé’s statement wedges to inject a playful, eye-catching twist into her look.
What the outfit lacked in complexity, her chunky two-tone Chloé wedges made up for, injecting a playful, eye-catching twist. Jagger kept accessories understated, carrying only a salmon-pink bag with a gold ring handle reminiscent of Newton’s.

Georgia was seen with her famous mother, Jerry Hall, a muse for Chloé in the 1970s.
Like her daughter, the 67-year-old supermodel opted for simple outerwear, wearing just a camel coat with tan leather pointed-toe boots.
