In this slideshow: Cindy Crawford, Veronica Webb, Brooklyn Decker, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Behati Prinsloo, Gisele Bündchen, Erin Wasson, Kate Moss, Marisa Miller, Milla Jovovich

Behati Prinsloo is never one to shy away from her own distinct style. On the red carpet, she dressed up her long, loose Modern Boho locks with a bright pink cocktail frock, but stayed true to her look with a pair of combat boots.

A good Modern Boho knows just how to wear floral, and Behati proves that a little grunge keeps the style from looking too prissy or young.

For Behati, accessories are her best friends—rings, fedoras, and strappy bags are essentials in her life. Add a printed minidress and the look is complete.

Brooklyn Decker is a master of mixing. With her all-American good looks, she can carry any style, but her Classic Sophisticate pencil skirt turns Boho paired with an airy cobalt top.

Since she's also a master of the swimsuit, Brooklyn effortlessly created a Modern Boho look with her BCBG Max Azria dress. In a youthful hot pink hue, the ties give her dress a hippie, fresh-from-the-beach feel.

Brookyln knows how to dress for evening affairs in a subtly sexy way. Her cream kimono-style dress brings out her baby blues, while her nude heels make sure all eyes stay focused on her sartorial choice.

Through her years in the industry, Cindy Crawford found her own unique look after seeing the trends of the seasons come and go. She dresses up her dark jeans casually with a floral top, vest, and brown boots.

A model pro is never afraid to take risks and Cindy does just that, daring to go bold in a purple gown with an empire waist.

Mix a light chiffon shirt, layered necklaces, and simple black skinny jeans to emulate the supermodel's street style.

Erin Wasson is known for her variations in style—one day she'll dress in pure vintage and another it's a more eclectic feel. Here she shows off velvet and one-of-a-kind vintage mariachi pants.

Though summer's not exactly a layering season, Modern Boho's know just how to make the weather suit their look. Erin proves this by pairing worn-in denim with a sequined vest.

Clothing brand RVCA fell in love with Erin's cool beachy style and trusted her look enough to hire the model to dress the masses. Get her look with an oversize white tank tucked into faded bell-bottoms reminiscent of the Woodstock days.

Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bündchen translates her style from the beaches of Rio to streets of New York with feminine colors and delicate looks. Short shorts, brown boots, and a beaded necklace paired with just the right amount of denim is the perfect recipe for Modern Bohos.

In a vintage-looking lace floral dress with a shimmer of gold at the empire waist, Gisele has all the makings of a Modern Boho, complete with flowing sun-kissed locks.

On one of the biggest fashion nights of the year, Gisele chose a blue-sequined Versace dress, staying modern in a cropped-up-to-there mini.

As a style icon, Kate Moss has the power and ability to cull together outfits from her closet to fit any situation or dress code. Her fashion brilliance ranges from style to style, but a consistent look from the supermodel is that of a dainty Modern Boho.

Luckily for the world, Kate's taken her style passion and gone global—all thanks to Topshop and Sir Philip Green. Her collection enters stores regularly, and girls all over infuse their closets with a bit of Moss. Here, her emerald green gown exudes a bit of Modern Boho, while her leather jacket is right on-trend.

Though it seems that she's keeping the palette cool and gray, Kate is all about the details, from the snakeskin shoes to the embroidered blazer.

Modern Boho's aren't afraid to embrace their colors. Marisa Miller wears a lei to accessorize her bright yellow ruffled frock.

Marisa proves that with a bit of distinction, anyone can embrace the latest look of the season. Her OTK boots get a Modern Boho look with a flowing embellished top and faded jeans.

From the beginning, this American beauty has been at home on the beach. And Marisa has translated her effortless style to the fashion world from her Victoria's Secret appearances to her red carpet moments.

While some would stay away from velvet, Milla Jovovich warmly embraces the plush material. A bit of blood red velvet paired with her perfect curls gives this model turned actress a rich, earthy look.

From trendy to casual to buttoned-up all in one outfit, Milla pulls off the red lipstick look while allowing her tousled hair to relax the prim babydoll dress.

Milla channels her inner Greek goddess on the red carpet in this white draped dress with gold detail at the waist and shoulders.

Ever a fan of the green movement, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley embraces her earth goddess feeling in her style. It's certainly not easy to pull off a full-length gown, but Rosie cinches her waist to add a modern twist to the antiquated design.

Rosie proves that Modern Bohos need not stray from darker colors in this short black swinging dress, precious dimples and all.

Always aware of the trends, Rosie dresses up her bright floral dress with a fitted blazer, giving the look a sexy feel in her mini.

Before the 2009 American Ballet Theater Gala, Veronica Webb teased her Twitter fans with updates from her fitting with Christian Siriano, which ended in a brilliant blue moment at the ballet.

A simple white dress is never that simple. Veronica shows that any stark canvas can be dressed up with accessories, from her fedora to a skinny belt that accentuates her waist.
