Bella Hadid Just Wore This 2016-Inspired Bag Shape in 2026

The internet has a way of creating trends that we can’t help but wonder about. Instead, we absorb the content and engage ourselves. That’s exactly what happened to me the past few days, as claims about 2026 being the new 2016 flooded TikTok and Instagram. Suddenly, old photos and nostalgic fashion trends are everywhere on Instagram Stories and TikTok videos. The more you scroll, the more logical the idea that 2026 is actually the new 2016 seems. Especially after we spotted Bella Hadid wearing a Coach crossbody bag.

Hadid attended a casual dinner with friends in LA this week, where she was photographed wearing a vintage beige Valentino long-sleeve top, blue straight-leg jeans, and vintage tan Jimmy Choo pumps. Most notably, instead of opting for a modern East-West style or a slouchy shoulder bag, she opted for a ’70s-inspired Coach Tabby, which features a long crossbody strap.

This moment feels especially meaningful because the crossbody bag silhouette signals a subtle, if not complete, resurgence. related Although it is the era of 2016, absolutely I wore it at that time. However, this revival is not in classical form. Hadid styled the bag in a fresh, modern style, with a long strap draped over one shoulder so that it hung on one side of her body rather than across her torso. In support of this trend and style shift, brands such as The Row, Toteme and Khaite have embraced it, releasing new crossbody bags and presenting them on the runway and in campaign images of slung-over-one-shoulder styles, reflecting Hadid’s approach.
