There is no denying it. Daisy Edgar-Jones is our new fashion crush. If you haven’t kept tabs on the recent press tour for her new movie Twisters, her enviable, It-girl wardrobe is worth taking a peek. She has been heating up the red carpet and hitting the streets in the coolest looks that caught us by surprise—making us dig a little further into this impressive style transformation.
The woman behind Edgar-Jones’ recent metamorphosis is none other than stylist Dani Michelle, the mastermind responsible for the drool-worthy looks sported by perennial trendsetters like Kendall Jenner and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. What we love about Edgar-Jones’ revamped style is the mix of modern bohemian, polished lady, and downtown cool, all blended into one. She’s been regularly spotted taking Gucci and Chloé out for a spin, both which are surging thanks to their respective new creative directors, but pieces by more emerging designers like 16Arlington, Christopher Esber, and Magda Butrym have a place among the heavy hitters, as well.
Within this mix, we definitely have seen a heavier emphasis on the modern boho vibes, a trend that we are excited to see brought back to life by the new and OG generation—ahem, Sienna Miller. “It’s so exciting to see boho come back, and I think there are few key pieces we could invest in to hit the trend, like a slouchy, brown suede bag that gets bigger at the bottom, much like Khaite and Maeden are making,” Michelle tells Vogue. “You could also get really oversized sunglasses like [the ones] Oliver Peoples or Chloé make, or try a really flowy top that Isabel Marant would sell, just to get a taste of the look without going full ‘70s.”
Keeping these tips in mind, we went to work to recreate some of our favorite looks from Edgar-Jones’ recent outings, so you, too, can copy them immediately. Among them, you’ll find sheer, boho-inspired dresses perfect for a night out to plenty of statement, designer accessories that have all the street-style cred.

Matrix Remastered
Balance a hefty, leather jacket with a knitted crop top and short shorts for that transitional period between summer and fall. We recommend looking for a burgundy or brown colorway, which feels fresh at the moment. Complete it with Gucci’s horsebit, wedge loafer (a leg-lengthening pair, if we ever did see one—and comfortable, to boot!) for an It-girl approved shoe choice.

Cardigan Cool
The classic cardigan gets a downtown reboot in teeny, tiny proportions with a micro fit. When styled with a wide-legged, khaki trouser (side note: must be high-waisted), they’re a match made in cool-girl heaven. Top off with a dangling, sash belt and a designer shoulder bag, and you are good to go. Adding a French twist or chignon in the hair only enhances the Parisian vibes on this one.

Date Night-Approved
Stepping out for the evening? Whether you’re in need of a little inspiration for your next wedding event or a special date night, a sheer, black mididress is surprisingly versatile and sexy. We love the elegant, pintuck details on this one from Khaite, which can be worn with or without the slip, depending on your mood. Minimalist sandals and simple, gold jewelry make for the easiest, final touches.

Modern Boho
Calling all Chloé girls! This one has modern bohemian written all over it. The beauty is how effortlessly easy this look is to pull off. A flouncy slip dress, cool clogs, a statement, pendant necklace, and a roomy, suede bag (as Michelle recommends) is all you need. In our opinion, it’s the perfect summer look, which you can take into the cooler temperature days ahead, as well.

Sheer Bliss
Texture is a crucial requirement, necessary to pull off the new prairie and modern boho look. Balancing a lace top with a structured, black trouser is the freshest way to make this feel of-the-moment (a tank design works, too if you want to eschew the typical billowy blouse). Pile on the accessories—a.k.a. designer sunnies, chain jewelry, and a statement shoe, for a street-ready spin à la Edgar-Jones.

Head-to-Toe Leather
As transitional weather approaches (one can only hope) a leather piece is the wear-now-and-later item at the top of our wish lists. A camel-colored buy works well for those final scorching summer days, and can be layered effortlessly with warmer pairings come fall. Hit all the style notes with a red shoe and chain choker for an undeniably cool ensemble.
