On June 30, 2015, Chrissy Teigen was photographed returning home in Beverly Hills after a grocery run, demonstrating a styling formula she returned to often throughout her off-duty appearances: simple wardrobe staples paired with standout Isabel Marant boots.

Wearing a low-cut black T-shirt, denim shorts by One Teaspoon, Victoria Beckham sunglasses, and a fringed Saint Laurent bag, Teigen kept the foundation of her outfit casual and understated.

The standout element was her footwear choice: a pair of Isabel Marant Étoile “Rawson” harness boots, a pointed-toe suede style with signature hardware and a chunky stacked heel.

The appearance was part of a broader relationship with the French designer’s footwear. Later that year, she styled the brand’s “Roxann” suede ankle boots in two completely different ways, highlighting their versatility, while years later she revisited Isabel Marant’s signature Western-inspired aesthetic in the “Laylis” knee-high boots.

Together, the appearances show how consistently Isabel Marant’s boot designs featured in Teigen’s wardrobe across multiple eras of her style evolution.

The boots worked because they disrupted the otherwise casual outfit. Against denim cutoffs and a black T-shirt, the structured silhouette and visible hardware added a tougher, more directional feel.

The style became a celebrity staple during Isabel Marant’s Western-inspired era, appearing regularly on stars including Alessandra Ambrosio and Hilary Duff.

Rather than competing with the rest of the outfit, the Rawson boots anchored the look.

The outfit reflected a styling approach Teigen relied on frequently during this period: keeping the clothing simple and letting one statement accessory carry the visual weight of the look.

Around the same time, Chrissy Teigen drew attention on social media after Instagram removed a topless image from a W Magazine photoshoot under its nudity guidelines.

She subsequently shared several edited versions of the photo that complied with the platform’s content policies.

Although the Isabel Marant Étoile Rawson boot has long since disappeared from the brand’s current lineup, it remains one of the label’s most recognizable ankle-boot designs from the 2010s.

Originally retailing for around $890, the style continues to surface on resale platforms such as Farfetch Pre-Owned, where fashion enthusiasts seek it out for its distinctive blend of bohemian and Western influences.

Why the Isabel Marant Boot Formula Still Works

More than a decade after the Rawson first appeared, the elements that made it successful remain central to Isabel Marant’s footwear: Western-inspired detailing, wearable heels, and an effortless balance between casual and statement dressing. Chrissy Teigen wasn’t the only celebrity drawn to that formula.
