Despite having spent my years in fashion finding, analysing and relaying the trends of the moment, my personal style remains decidedly pared-back and classic. Perhaps because I spot new trends at such high frequency, I only embrace them when it genuinely energises my wardrobe—never just for the sake of keeping up.
Seemingly following a similar styling mantra, Jennifer Lawrence keeps her daily styling fresh and considered, allowing only the most poignant of trends to enter her rotation. Case in point: the letterbox red handbag the actor carried in the crook of her arms this weekend. Energising her otherwise classic early-spring ensemble, the actor crafted a base made out of easy wardrobe staples. The straight-leg jeans added a casual energy, the simple black coat, an air of refinement, while her navy knit added the cosiness that these chilly days call for. Coupled with The Row’s Lucca Moccasins (£1182) on foot, Lawrence ensured understated elegance with a single bold accent.

Selecting a Hermès Victoria leather handbag in a rich red hue, Lawrence picked up on the bowling bag silhouette that’s been making its way into the fore this season. Classic, practical and undoubtedly chic, the traditional silhouette coupled with the blazing shade makes for a bag trend that will enhance any look.
While red accessories have been summoned back into our wardrobe rotations for the past few summers, 2025 is the year the red bag is trend predicted to find its feet. Taking off after seasons of build-up, the fiery shades are transcending fleeting trends to become a bonafide summer wardrobe staple—akin to woven accessories and linen layers. Styling well against a backdrop of playful patterns and gauzy layers, a red bag can riff off the energy of a warm-weather outfit while adding an element of structure and a chic focus point to any summer look.
The runways have confirmed it—so it’s only a matter of time. Stella McCartney, Louis Vuitton, Miu Miu and Ferragamo all showcased red bags in their summer 2025 collections, solidifying the hue as a key shade for the season ahead.
