Catherine, Princess of Wales, recently demonstrated the power of polished coordination during her visit to Reggio Emilia, Italy. Wearing a tailored blue Edeline Lee suit with pearl jewellery and a pale blue handbag, her styling showed how a tonal bag can quietly sharpen an entire look. This approach feels timeless — clean lines, soft structure and accessories that blend seamlessly into the outfit rather than compete with it. A similar idea of visual storytelling appeared in Demi Moore’s polka-dot look at Cannes opening day. Her multi-dot dress paired with a matching polka-dot bag created a sense of continuity, where the accessory extended the print rather than interrupting it. The effect felt bold yet controlled, tapping into fashion’s current preference for fully considered dressing, where garments, bags and makeup are designed to work together as one complete image. On the other end of the spectrum was A$AP Rocky at the 2026 Met Gala. Dressed in a custom pink Chanel robe with black satin detailing, he carried a striking pomegranate-shaped clutch that instantly became the focal point of the outfit. It reflected fashion’s growing fascination with playful objects. Novelty accessories are also moving into pop-art territory. Lady Victoria Hervey was recently photographed at Cannes carrying a crystal-encrusted lipstickshaped handbag, proving that fashion’s appetite for eye-catching accessories continues to grow. These conversation bags — inspired by fruit, art or surreal forms — bring humour and individuality to formalwear while making the styling feel more personal and memorable. Texture and shape also emerged as key themes. At Cannes, Danish film producer Mette-Marie Kongsved arrived carrying a pearl-shaped bag that balanced elegance with eccentricity. Sculptural bags like these offer another route into statement styling — less playful than novelty clutches, but equally eye-catching. c m y b CHAT UP FIFA LINE-UP The FIFA World Cup final is set to get a dose of entertainment as Madonna, Shakira and BTS have been announced as performers for the tournament’s halftime show on July 19 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
