A few months ago, I almost splurged on the iconic Dior Book Tote. My hand hovered over the "Place Your Order" button for hours, before I ultimately decided to save my $3,500. I had an inkling the incoming creative director, Jonathan Anderson, would revive the emblematic carry-all in his own Loewe-esque way.
Tracking Rihanna's street style as Marie Claire's resident celebrity style expert proved I was right about the bag after all. Since Anderson's debut at Dior's Men's Spring 2026 show, Rihanna has been modeling a novel update to the book tote all over Paris, simultaneously making me fall in love with it. Most recently, on July 2, RiRi delivered an unofficial step-and-repeat outside the Royal Monceau Hotel with Anderson's revamped tote in tow.
