A little over a week ago, just prior to her spring 2026 collection showcase at Paris Fashion Week, Victoria Beckham stepped into the rain with elegance, equipped with an umbrella and dressed in her signature label, while donning her famed Hermès Kelly bag in a dramatic display.
This appearance hinted at Beckham’s alignment with one of the season’s major trends: the artful styling of open bags. Featured prominently at fashion houses such as Dior, Chanel, and Loewe, this trend has quickly captured the attention of celebrities, including Beckham and Jennifer Lawrence.

In a style upgrade for a lunch at estiatorio Milos in New York, Beckham decided to elevate her purse game. She traded in her larger latte-hued Kelly for a particularly rare item: a limited edition black Hermès Kelly en Désordre, first shown on the fall 2022 runway. This small black shoulder bag is noted for its unique diagonal closure, giving it a whimsical touch.

To further complement her black bag, Beckham opted for an all-black ensemble for her outing in NYC, featuring a sleek black long-sleeve top paired with a flowing black midi skirt that draped below her calves. While it’s common for her to favor her own creations (she truly is her own best customer), she chose to wear elegant black mules by Saint Laurent. The look was completed with a delicate gold anklet and her iconic oversized black sunglasses.
And so, what if a little rain touches her Kelly? As she demonstrated today, it’s just one of many in her impressive collection.
