Rihanna Pairs Three of Summer's Hottest Trends With a Rare LV Bag of the Moment

Rihanna Pairs Three of Summer's Hottest Trends With a Rare LV Bag of the Moment

Vogue3 days ago
The bag in question is a Marc Jacobs-era Louis Vuitton Alma Graffiti bag. A Tippex-white and black beacon of style history, the graffiti-emblazoned version of the house's signature ladylike Alma bag (first created in 1934) was made in collaboration with designer and artist Stephen Sprouse in 2001, and marked a major early noughties moment that subverted fashion's penchant for logos. It's been in the Rih archive from at least 2024, when she was last spotted with it, and remains one of the true original it-bags. Rih, as always, sensed the style's renaissance: Just in the last few weeks, Tyla and Mariah the Scientist have been spotted with a Sprouse-stamped LV bag.
A longtime devotee to the LV bag, Rihanna is a cross-generational and style-agnostic collector. In the archive? A Crocodile Speedy bag, the Nano Speedy bag, the Alma Long Bag, the Takashi Murakami for LV Speedy 30 (circa spring 2003), a Louis Vuitton x Frank Gehry Twisted Monogram bag, a Dalmatian-print Sac bag from 2003, and a Stephen Sprouse Pochette from 2001. (Andddd breathe). In true Rih fashion as an early adopter, she's been seen adding a Labubu keychain (AKA fashion's favorite little monster accessory) to her Speedy.
The Smurfs actor, of course, has a love for ultra-rare vintage bags that expands far beyond LV. In recent times, she's been spotted with the iconic Chanel Twin Bag from the 1990s, handbags from across Tom Ford's Gucci oeuvre, classic Dior Saddles, and a 1990s-era Fendi Zucca mini bag with a furry tail charm sourced from her go-to vintage dealers, Archive Vintage.
Rihanna's summer style notes read as follows: Easy and breezy, trend agnostic, archival.

Merz Hosts Macron in Berlin Amid Divergences: What to Watch

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz is set to roll out the red carpet for French President Emmanuel Macron in Berlin Wednesday evening in an effort to project goodwill between the two leaders amid growing tensions. Merz will host Macron at the historic Villa Borsig on Berlin's outskirts, where the German leader has arranged a symbolic evening: a garden stroll, a short jazz performance by trumpet virtuoso Till Brönner, and a private dinner. The event is set to lay the groundwork for a much broader French-German joint cabinet meeting that will be held in late August.

EF Ultimate Break opens a new chapter with book-led series

EF Ultimate Break has launched itineraries crafted especially for bookworms. The tour operator, which specializes in travel for 18- to 35-year-olds, has debuted a collection of itineraries for 2026 that are inspired by BookTok, a popular community on TikTok where users post videos about their favorite reads and tag them #booktok. The launch of the literary itineraries comes after research EF Ultimate Break conducted among its travelers found that 62% want to visit destinations with ties to their favorite books. And across the board, travel inspired by books is becoming more popular, galvanized by the resurgence of book clubs, literary festivals and bookish celebrations, EF Ultimate Break created four itineraries, which it will operate both as scheduled group departures and private tours. EF Ultimate Break president Heather Leisman said it was seeing a shift toward young people seeking out more meaningful travel experiences and connecting face-to-face. "Our new BookTok-inspired trips give travelers the chance to turn those online conversations into real-world friendships while exploring the places that bring their favorite stories to life," she said. The "Highlights of Switzerland: Inspired by ACOTAR" itinerary will take romantasy lovers across the country in nine days, inspired by the popular "A Court of Thorns and Roses" series by Sarah J. Maas. Highlights include a book club discussion of the series, a visit to the Swiss Riviera and a dinner where guests can don their finest Night Court attire (IYKYK). Emily Henry fans, this one's for you: a 12-day "Cruise Croatia: Inspired by People We Meet on Vacation" itinerary that will explore the country by boat. The book features multiple vacation destinations, including Croatia, and on the real-world trip, travelers will have opportunities to bond over explorations of Makarska, Split and Mljet. The "Cairo, Athens & Rome: Inspired by Percy Jackson" itinerary will spend 11 days in three countries, starting in Egypt and ending in Italy. Ancient history is the focus of this itinerary, with time spent visiting the pyramids in Cairo, walking the same streets as gods and monsters in Athens and exploring ancient ruins in Rome. Though not yet available for booking, EF plans a fourth itinerary for witches and wizards. The "London & Scotland Escape: Inspired by Harry Potter" will spend eight magical days in the U.K. between London and Edinburgh. Travelers will visit Harry Potter filming locations, explore London as a Muggle and visit the Scottish Highlands, which inspired Hagrid's hut, the Forbidden Forest and Hogsmeade.

Camila Cabello and Billionaire Heir Boyfriend Pack on the PDA During Steamy Make Out Session on Ibiza Beach

The couple were spotted packing on the PDA on their European vacation. They previously enjoyed a romantic trip together to St. Barts in January Camila Cabello and Henry Junior Chalhoub can't keep their hands off each other! The 'I Luv It' singer, 28, and her billionaire heir boyfriend were spotted packing on the PDA during their romantic getaway in Ibiza, Spain on July 21. During the steamy exchange, the couple can be seen sharing a passionate kiss on a seaweed-strewn dock as Cabello leans against Chalhoub. They shared another intimate moment in the water, keeping their heads above to lock lips. During their fun in the sun, the former Fifth Harmony member sported a simple black bikini. Meanwhile, Chalhoub was shirtless, showing off his toned physique in a pair of camouflage swim shorts. The waters off the coast of Ibiza have been a popular celebrity vacation spot this summer. Earlier this month, famous friends Kate Hudson and Dakota Johnson were spotted yachting together on July 1. The young couple was first linked in November 2024 at an Elie Saab fashion show afterparty in Saudi Arabia, per Billboard. Speculation surrounding their romantic relationship was fueled in January 2025 when the pair was spotted holding hands in St. Barts. In March 2025, the couple was seen cozying up to one another while attending Chanel's Fall/Winter 2025 fashion show during Paris Fashion Week. In a sweet interaction shared on TikTok, their hands are interlocked before Chalhoub spots a camera and turns away. Chalhoub's family founded the Dubai-based luxury fashion distribution company Chalhoub Group, which works with Verace, Jimmy Choo and several other brands, per Business of Fashion. In 2023, the family was recognized in Forbes' Top 100 Arab Family Businesses list. The outlet estimated the late Michel Chalhoub and family were worth $1.7 billion as of 2019. Before Chalhoub, Cabello held romantic relationships with some other big names including life coach Matthew Hussey. Though, her most notable was her on-again, off-again relationship with singer Shawn Mendes. The 'In My Blood' songwriter, 26, confirmed to a crowd in Australia that the pair first started dating on the Fourth of July in 2019. Cabello spoke about her brief reunion with Mendes in spring 2023 — two years after the exes called it quits in 2021 — during an episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast in March 2024.

He's such a good person and I'm lucky because some people have exes that are awful, and he is not. He's a really kind, good person.' Read the original article on People Solve the daily Crossword
