Jennifer Lawrence is no stranger to rocking a fresh-off-the-runway piece. Whether she’s on the red carpet or casually strolling the New York streets, the Oscar-winning actor’s wardrobe is often complete with a new seasonal It item. Leopard Prada bags! Those mesh Alaïa flats! Her ability to score hard-to-get pieces knows no bounds. And today in Manhattan, Lawrence continued that energy by taking one of the hottest and most-discussed bags of the new spring 2026 season out for a spin. (Need a hint? It’s inspired by a book.)
Yes, we’re talking about the Christian Dior book totes. First debuted at the label’s spring 2026 menswear show back in June, the first offering under new creative director Jonathan Anderson, her yellow bag features “Dracula by Bram Stoker” plastered over it in a dramatic red font, as a nod to the classic 1897 Gothic horror novel. The bookish accessory was one of many in the show: Other accessories in the collection included a “Les Liaisons Dangereuses by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos” tote. The fashion statement from Anderson was clear: Reading is hot and chic. (Book clutches by Olympia Le Tan, meanwhile, share this sentiment.)
Clearly, Lawrence is both a fashion lover and a bookworm. She even matched her red wide-leg trousers to the bag—the ultimate commitment to the bit. Not to mention, the star is also a longtime face of Dior, which explains how she was able to get her hands on the hot runway item before it is even released. That’s simply the J.Law way—to rock a hot designer release just moments after making its debut. By the time it hits the stores in a few months, she’ll likely have moved on to something even buzzier and more coveted.
