Rockstuds Forever: Street Style Outside Valentino Spring 2027 Proves the Iconic Stud Is Still Going Strong

Valentino, under Alessandro Michele, continues to surprise and delight. While Michele’s Valentino is undeniably a departure from what came before, he’s still deeply engaged with the house’s heritage—he’s simply viewing it through an entirely new lens. Along the way, he’s begun establishing signatures of his own, seamlessly weaving them into Valentino’s existing house codes.

And while that evolution is evident across the ready-to-wear, it’s the bags that have us especially excited. From newcomers like the Panthea and Devain to longtime favorites like the Valentino Rockstud, fashion has been quick to embrace this next chapter.

Michele, who unveiled his Spring 2027 collection for Valentino earlier this weekend, drew a rock-studded crowd of VIPs, megastars (hello, Cynthia Erivo!), and plenty more. Now, we’re rounding out our street style coverage with one final batch of seriously great bags.

This season’s arrivals proved two things: Rockstuds are forever, and loud luxury is SO back. See more below!
