Now that we’re about halfway through summer, some celebrity-favorite trends have started to emerge. Gas station sunglasses and jorts (that’s jean shorts) have been gaining traction, but the Gucci Bag is the handbag of the moment. Stars like Anne Hathaway, Dakota Johnson, and Jodie Turner-Smith have all been spotted with a re-released Gucci bag—called the Blondie—that’s based on a 1970s archival style. Gucci’s new iteration of the Blondie shoulder bag debuted at the label’s Love Parade fashion show in L.A. back in November.

Kiara Advani who has been busy promoting her recent movie Jug Jugg Jeeyo (2022) recently served…
