Plenty of Paris Fashion Week photos go viral, but this tableau from the Chloé Fall 2024 front-row lives rent-free in my mind. A year ago, Sienna Miller, Georgia May Jagger, Kiernan Shipka, Pat Cleveland, and 13 more stars viewed creative director Chemena Kamali's new show in the exact same platform wedge heels. Since VIP guests rarely coordinate at fashion week fêtes, Chloé's intention was clear: A wedge sandal comeback is upon us.
To no surprise, the boho-inspired shoes instantly became a celebrity staple. But now, they're paving the way for other wedges to emerge. Months later, stars like Dakota Johnson, Rihanna, Naomi Watts, and Alex Consani (to name a few) have boarded the wedge bandwagon—just not in the boho way you'd expect. Instead of the typical espadrille or cork styles, fashion muses are making a case for slimmer, '90s-coded wedges.
