Is Daisy Edgar-Jones the next poster child for boho style?
Earlier this year, Chemena Kamali invited a handful of bohemianites—among them Sienna Miller, Georgia May Jagger, Pat Cleveland, and Kiernan Shipka—to sit front row at her Chloé debut with their legs anchored in hulking platform wedges. Photographs of that moment traveled long distances online, boosting the label’s perceived street cred almost as much as the Paddington bag did in 2004.
The Maxime Wedge Sandal was, according to British Vogue, the shoe of the season, and it sold out almost immediately on its release. I get it. A towering wedge can be an exciting proposition, it can feel empowering to lift yourself several inches off the ground and walk around metropolitan centers with weight in your stride. But I always thought those shoes overshadowed a much more interesting model: Chloé’s Judith Clog—a wooden, kitten-heeled slip-on which is so, so wrong in all the right ways—that will be Kamali’s true sleeper hit.
Daisy Edgar-Jones was yesterday afternoon photographed in those hybrid half-shoes while promoting Twisters in New York. She wore them with a ruffled minidress in organic silk georgette plucked from Chloé’s autumn/winter 2024 collection, a tangle of vintage necklaces and an overwhelmingly oversized hobo bag. She’s always looked good—tasteful, polished, elegant—but Edgar-Jones has now managed to achieve something far more admirable. She looks cool.
