Alexa Chung Is Already Wearing the Boho Bag Trend That's Going to Be Everywhere in 2025
By now, you probably already know that boho is back in a big way. If you need to see it to believe it, then take a look at Alexa Chung, who was spotted recently carrying the soon-to-be It item of 2025: the studded-and-fringed Valentino Garavani Nellcôte Shoulder Bag.
The perpetual style star turned heads in London with her warm, wintery, and boho-inspired look, pairing the bag with red Valentino peep-toe pumps worn with black socks, straight-leg blue jeans, a black turtleneck, and a Valentino shearling coat. The fringe on the stylish suede accessory dances with every step, drawing attention to the bag du jour.
