It makes sense the star would make time for a Chloé show, given Miller is an OG fan of the brand. Longtime fashion followers will recall Miller more or less living in Chloé pieces in the early 2000s, igniting a boho-chic movement complete with billowy blouses and the brand’s signature studded Susanna boots—the It shoe of the late aughts. (“I’ve still got them in black and in red,” she says.) Seeing Kamali’s new take on the Chloé aesthetic, Miller loved the “carefree” and feminine spirit of it all. “It was the most beautiful show I’ve seen in a long time,” says Miller. “It was like my dream wardrobe walking past me. It felt so nostalgic—like how the brand felt in the early 2000s.”
The designer’s updated take on boho-chic certainly felt current, but it does call back memories of the 2010s indie-sleaze movement, when stars like Miller would regularly pair Chloé’s more ethereal pieces with edgy skinny jeans and tough buckled boots. Miller, frankly, thinks the trend’s revival in fashion is funny. “The first feeling [I have] is, has it really been that long? Am I that old? I’m in denial,” laughs Miller. “Things that I feel like I wore yesterday are suddenly vintage. It makes me laugh. But there’s a Gen Z spin on it now where, things that were trashy at the time are now chic.” She says the revival has even inspired her to dip back into the aesthetic, too. “I’m like, Can I wear cowboy boots and a mini skirt again? I don’t know if I can get away with it,” she ponders. “But I’m enjoying watching from the sidelines, and cheering them on in my old age.”
Jokes aside, though, Miller says her schedule as a busy mom has influenced the way she dresses these days. Practicality and function, for one, are a new focus. “My style has changed because I don’t have the time to luxuriate. You have to be up and out the door by 7:30 a.m.,” she says. “But I’m ready for a resurgence of some kind.” Her appearance at Chloé, then, served as her foray back into the world of dress up. Miller chose a refined look that juxtaposed both sharp and effortless elements. “It was the most beautiful silk skirt with a lacy tie detail—really feminine—with some super clunky shoes,” Miller says. The black leather jacket she wore, meanwhile, reminded her of a past outerwear piece that got away. “There was a Balenciaga leather jacket by Nicolas Ghesquière that was everything I wanted, but couldn’t afford when I was younger,” she says. “This felt like a modern Chloé spin on that iconic coat, and it brought me immense joy.”
