It's almost that time of year, when oversize coats make carrying your favorite shoulder bags nearly impossible. You know the struggle: It's 40°, you're hot and cold at the same time, and yet, you can't move an inch without losing your purse. As a longtime New Yorker, Katie Holmes is no stranger to the dilemma. But on October 29, she presented a reasonable remedy: crossbody bags.
Currently, the accessories trend cycle is in a crossbody bag drought. Top-handle counterparts continue to dominate the runways, even most recently as the Spring 2026 circuit. On the off chance crossbodies do resurface, celebrities carry them as clutches, their elongated straps hung loose or nixed entirely. (I'm calling you out, Dakota Johnson.) Thanks to Holmes, hope is not lost for the humble crossbody.
