Fashion people had a lot of big questions heading into Jonathan Anderson's Spring 2026 Dior debut. How many references would he make to the ghosts of Diors past? (Many.) Would celebrity ambassadors like Jennifer Lawrence, Jisoo, and Anya Taylor-Joy stay loyal to the brand's front row? (Yes.) And for the collectors in the crowd: What would be the defining Dior shoe and bag of the Anderson era?
Turns out, Anderson wasn't going to settle for answering that last one with just a handful of hero styles—not even a continuation of the novel-inspired book totes he released at the Dior Men show over the summer. (Those had generated near-instant hype, and landed on Lawrence and Rihanna's arms.) Instead, he offered as many twists on kitten heels and top-handle bags as there were "characters" represented in the runway ready-to-wear.
