Vogue’s anti‑boho take

British Vogue cast Margot Robbie’s latest off-duty outfit as a summer counterpoint to the usual boho festival uniform, after she arrived at Club 55 in Saint-Tropez in baggy jeans, a V-neck knit, suede loafers and a denim bucket hat. (vogue.co.uk) (vogue.com) Vogue’s piece was published on April 16, 2026, as Coachella coverage pushed macramé tops, low-slung bell bottoms and flower crowns back into the seasonal style conversation. Robbie’s look was photographed the previous day, April 15, during a boat arrival in Saint-Tropez. (vogue.co.uk) (article.wn.com) The point of the styling was contrast: not crochet, not a basket bag, and not the floaty dress-and-fringe formula long tied to desert festival dressing. Vogue described Robbie as dressing more like she was headed to an Oasis concert than a Riviera beach club. (vogue.com) (newsbreak.com) That framing landed in the middle of a broader boho rebound that has been building since Chloé’s Fall 2024 debut under creative director Chemena Kamali. Women’s Wear Daily said Kamali’s first runway for the house leaned into an overt 1970s slant, and Lyst said searches for “boho” products rose 82% over three months after the collection. (wwd.com) (lyst.com) Festival style has helped keep that revival visible. Women’s Wear Daily said ahead of Coachella 2026 that the event would again put boho and Western-adjacent dressing back into circulation, while photo coverage from the festival this week showed fringe, crochet and cowboy hats across the grounds. (wwd.com) (nydailynews.com) Robbie’s own wardrobe has moved across that spectrum in recent weeks. In March, W Magazine and Yahoo both noted her pairing of a black mini with cowboy boots and a brown leather jacket in Los Angeles, a look that nodded to Western styling without going full festival. (wmagazine.com) (yahoo.com) She has also been linked to denim and suede as separate trend lines. Who What Wear wrote in 2025 that Robbie’s travel outfit tapped two rising items at once: drawstring jeans and suede shoes. (whowhatwear.com) So the “anti-boho” label is less a rejection of texture than a swap in silhouette. Where the current boho cycle favors chiffon, lace and festival references, Robbie’s Saint-Tropez outfit kept the same earthy palette but shifted it into heavier fabrics and looser, more covered shapes. (lyst.com) (vogue.com) That is why British Vogue treated one celebrity outfit as a trend signal rather than a one-off. In a week dominated by Coachella’s standard summer dress code, Robbie showed how leather, denim and suede can occupy the same trend cycle without looking like festival cosplay.
