This Is the Summer of Celebrity It-Bag Revivals
In fashion, what goes around comes around—meaning, if something goes out of style, it is bound to come back in style at some point. In other words: Hang onto those investment pieces, folks! Sure, in a time where there are so many conversations around spring cleaning and decluttering (paging Marie Kondo!), one can easily be ruthless about parting ways with our relics of the past. But if today's trendsetters like Rihanna and Bella Hadid have taught us anything, it's that a little bit of strategic hoarding can come in handy. Because the only thing better than designer, is rare, vintage designer. Case in point: This summer, luxury bags from the 2000s (and even further back) are being revived and given a brand new life. A-listers like Tyla, Daisy Edgar-Jones, Jennifer Lawrence, and Dakota Johnson have all been spotted stepping out and carrying handbags that were once hot. Just this week, Tyla carried a Lous Vuitton x Stephen Sprouse Speedy bag. Y2K, much? The bright, bold graffiti-style bag was all of the rage in the 2000s, yet Tyla made the case for it in 2025 by pairing it with a nonchalant tank and cargo pants. The South African singer is not the only star on the board with reviving a past It-bag. Be it Dakota Johnson and her beloved Gucci Jackie bag (which harks back to the 1960s), to Bella Hadid and her trustee Balenciaga City bag (another 2000s favorite), it's clear that the summer bag approach is the older it is, the better it is. So, start scouring eBay—and try predicting what will be the next past handbag to have a comeback. (Given Céline just revived the 2010s-favorite Phantom bag on the runway, you better start hoarding those secondhand ones—while they are still cheap.) Below, five past It-bags that are having a revival. Louis Vuitton x Stephen Sprouse When Marc Jacobs was at the creative helm of Louis Vuitton, one of his most famous releases was his collaboration handbags with American artist and designer, the late Stephen Sprouse. First released in the spring 2001 collection, Spouse applied neon graffiti-style lettering overtop Vuitton's signature leather monogram print. The splashy bags were heavily coveted and signalled a new era for daring to innovate beyond storied luxury house codes, and were worn by stars like Paris Hilton. Today, Tyla and Rihanna have proven they are still fans of the Y2K style. Photo: Backgrid Photo: Backgrid Chloé Paddington Chloé will forever be known for its romantic, boho-chic aesthetic, and one of its signature bags to date is the Paddington—a slouchy leather shoulder bag, punctuated with a big heavy padlock. The style was first debuted in 2005 while Phoebe Philo was creative director. Given the boho revival is all of the rage in fashion currently, it was only a matter of time before the Paddington had a comeback, too: Stars like Rachel Sennott and Daisy Edgar-Jones have worn the new interpretations, brought back to life thanks to current Chloé designer Chemena Kamali. Fendi Spy Bag I spy, you spy—we all spy the Fendi Spy bag! Originally debuted in 2005, the Italian label released a mini top-handle boho bag that was worn by loads of celebrities at the time—everyone from Sarah Jessica Parker to the Olsen twins. Today, it feels just as fresh, now designed in contemporary shades like butter yellow and rich chocolate brown. Stars like PinkPantheress (a noted handbag lover, toting it on stages from Coachella to Glastonbury) and Aubrey Plaza are diehard fans. Photo: Backgrid Balenciaga City Bag Did the Balenciaga City bag ever go out of style? Debatable, but the enduring fashion favorite—first released in 2001, thanks to Nicolas Ghesquière—is certainly the hottest bag in fashion at the moment. Everyone from Dua Lipa to Tate McRae has worn the edgy, slouchy bag with big silver hardware. It will forever be the perfect on-the-go bag that instantly makes an outfit. Photo: Backgrid Gucci Jackie bag A more retro offering, the Gucci Jackie bag was debuted back in 1961, and was popularized by Jackie Kennedy Onassis (hence the name). More than six decades later, the curved silhouette and golden lock clasp feels fresher than ever—though, the modern styling approaches that stars like Dakota Johnson and Yara Shahidi have taken certainly help make the case for it as a 2025 It bag.

Prolific Procreator Elon Musk Announces AI App for Kids
Elon Musk announced in a late-night X post that he intends to launch a 'kid-friendly' version of his artificial intelligence chatbot Grok, which he has dubbed 'Baby Grok.' The announcement comes after months of shenanigans from Grok, including a fixation on 'white genocide' in South Africa, praise for Adolf Hitler, and several posts where the chatbot referred to itself as 'MechaHitler.' Grok's current content guidelines state that the chatbot avoids 'generating or engaging with explicit, adult, or inappropriate material,' but users regularly swap tips on how to circumvent these restrictions. Despite considerable bad press, Musk is working overtime to bolster Grok's standing among the competition, which includes OpenAI's ChatGPT, Google's Gemini, and Anthropic's Claude. These efforts include the introduction of AI-generated companions earlier this week, including a pornographic anime girl avatar named Ani. Users can toggle between NSFW and Kid Mode when interacting with Musk's companions, but users found that changing those settings had little effect. Critics have expressed concerns about the impact AI chatbots could have on children. An advisory from Australia's eSafety Commissioner argues that without safeguards, AI companions can expose children to dangerous concepts, leave them dependent on AI for companionship and socially withdrawn, result in them developing unhealthy attitudes toward relationships, put them at heightened risk of sexual abuse as a result of exposure to sexualized conversations, compound the risk of bullying, and put them at risk of financial exploitation. One Florida mother filed a lawsuit against a company that specializes in AI chatbots based on fictional characters, after her 14-year-old son became obsessed with a chatbot inspired by Daenerys Targaryen, a character from Game of Thrones, and died by suicide. Her son fell in love with the chatbot, becoming increasingly withdrawn from his real life as he began to spend the bulk of his time conversing with the bot. After sharing his thoughts of suicide with the bot, telling it, 'Maybe we can die together and be free together,' he took his own life. Earlier this week, Musk—a father of 14 known children—released Grok 4 without industry-standard safety reports that detail an AI model's capabilities, limitations and potential dangers. Musk also announced two new 'Grok for Government' partnerships with the General Services Administration and the Department of Defense. Solve the daily Crossword

South Africa coalition strained after trade envoy fails to visit US
By Tim Cocks and Alexander Winning JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) -South Africa's main coalition partners are embroiled in a spat over how to respond to looming tariffs from a hostile Trump administration, after the smaller party said the president's aide was denied a U.S. visa to negotiate with Washington. The Democratic Alliance said on Tuesday that the United States had formally rejected President Cyril Ramaphosa's chosen interlocutor, Mcebisi Jonas, and had denied him a diplomatic visa in May. The DA provided no evidence for the claim, which its leading international relations official Emma Louise Powell repeated in a statement on Thursday. Presidency spokesperson Vincent Magwenya, in a response, did not say whether Jonas had been denied a visa. "President Ramaphosa has not had a need for Mr. Jonas to visit the United States on urgent business," he said in a statement. He added that Jonas had been working in the background with the trade and foreign ministries. Since his appointment in April, the government has not mentioned Jonas as having met with any U.S. officials. He was not part of a delegation that travelled to Washington in May, a trip during which U.S. President Donald Trump assailed Ramaphosa in the Oval Office with false claims of mass killings of white South African farmers. Magwenya declined to comment further when Reuters contacted him on Thursday. Jonas did not immediately respond to a text message requesting comment. The U.S. embassy in Pretoria did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Washington's 30% tariff for South Africa kicks in on August 1. Central bank governor Lesetja Kganyago warned on Wednesday that it could trigger 100,000 job losses. Ramaphosa's African National Congress is furious that the white-led DA, which like Trump has criticised South Africa's racial diversity policies, made an independent visit to the United States earlier this year to plead the country's case to U.S. politicians. The erstwhile enemies forged an unlikely coalition after the ANC lost its outright majority in elections last year. But they have clashed over equity laws, education policy and the budget, which the DA has held up on grounds of corruption and waste. Ramaphosa fired a DA deputy minister for failing to get permission to take part in the U.S. trip. "As the ANC continues to engage with ... the likes of Russia and Iran, the DA will continue to ... engage with the international community of democracies," Powell said in a statement defending the DA's U.S. trip on Thursday.
