In 2013 and 2014, Taylor Swift, Jenna Dewan, and Julianne Hough helped cement the status of Rag & Bone’s Harrow ankle boots as an off-duty celebrity favorite.
The New York label’s moto-inspired design—defined by its sleek silhouette, stacked heel, and ease of wear—appeared across a range of casual outfits, underscoring why the style has remained a wardrobe staple for more than a decade.
Whether paired with Jenna Dewan’s trench coat and cuffed jeans at Los Angeles International Airport, Julianne Hough’s cutoff shorts at Disneyland, or Julianne’s denim dress in Beverly Hills, the Harrow added structure and polish without overpowering the outfit.

Julianne Hough Repeats Her Rag & Bone Harrow Boots With a Denim Dress
On May 4, 2013, at Il Pastaio Restaurant in Beverly Hills, Julianne Hough styled a casual yet chic look featuring a Topshop pocket denim swing dress paired with Rag & Bone suede Harrow boots and accessorized with a Celine Phantom luggage tote in black natural calfskin
Earlier that month, Julianne styled the same Rag & Bone Harrow ankle boots with a faded denim shift dress and a coveted Celine Phantom luggage tote for a lunch date at Il Pastaio in Beverly Hills.

The outfit highlighted the incredible versatility of the boot’s design, which worked equally well with heavy denim, casual shorts, and breezy summer day dresses.

The notched front topline of the Harrow boot visually elongates the leg, making it a favorite styling trick for looser, oversized silhouettes like this chambray shift dress without sacrificing structure.

Julianne’s knack for blending casual denim with high-end accessories became a staple of her everyday wardrobe. A few years later, she showcased how to adapt this exact styling formula for peak summer weather—swapping her structured Rag & Bone boots for a softer, warm-weather alternative during a lunch date with her brother.

Revisiting the breezy aesthetic of her earlier Beverly Hills look, Julianne wore a similar chambray mini dress with a square neckline and short, puffy sleeves. The dancer dressed up her casual ensemble with a pair of oversized sunglasses and a black leather crossbody bag.

While the Rag & Bone Harrow boots provided a structured, trans-seasonal edge, this outfit demonstrates how a strappy, two-toned Chloé leather wedge can effortlessly transition the very same denim dress silhouette into the height of summer.
She finished her look with her always-present diamond engagement ring and a fresh red pedicure that added a clean pop of color to the neutral leather footwear.

Jenna Dewan and Julianne Hough weren’t the only celebrities drawn to Rag & Bone’s Harrow ankle boots. Throughout the early 2010s, stars such as Hilary Duff and Reese Witherspoon repeatedly incorporated the same versatile boot into their off-duty wardrobes. Whether paired with skinny jeans, casual separates, or travel-ready outfits, the Harrow’s streamlined silhouette offered an easy way to add polish without sacrificing comfort.
Additional sightings of celebrities, including Dianna Agron and Alessandra Ambrosio, further underscore the design’s broad appeal.
Although the Rag & Bone Harrow has been discontinued, its influence remains visible in the brand’s current boot lineup. As of June 2026, Nordstrom carries updated styles such as the Joni Chelsea Bootie, Joni Buckle Bootie, Astor Boot, and Mercer Pointed Toe Bootie, which offer a modern take on the versatile, everyday appeal that made the Harrow so popular.
For those who prefer the Harrow’s signature moto-inspired strap and stacked heel, the original style remains widely sought after on the resale market more than a decade after its celebrity heyday.
