Look, Kris Jenner, no hands! Kim Kardashian’s latest trick is bringing back one of the most popular yet fleeting bag trends of 2019: the belt bag.

We’re not talking about the trusted fanny pack—which has remained a wardrobe staple (as long as it’s worn across your chest and not, god forbid, around your hips). No, the 42-year-old reality star recently wore a pink Chanel chain belt featuring a small structured pouch with a pair of oversized ripped jeans and a cropped white T-Shirt. Most importantly, she wore this look in the presence of certified fashion icon Victoria Beckham, who not only posed for multiple photos alongside Kardashian with a hint of a smile on her face but shared the pics on her own Instagram grid—the ultimate sign of sartorial approval from Posh Spice.

On June 21, Kim Kardashian joined the Beckham family at a soccer match in Miami, pairing her casual look with the dainty accessory and a slicked-back ponytail. Meanwhile, the 49-year-old designer wore a black tank top with underbust cutouts and black trousers.

I’m just going to say what we’re all thinking: Barbenheimer.

This is actually not the first sign that the belt bag is coming back into celebrity favor—and yes, I do partially blame Succession’s “ludicrously capacious bag” rant. Earlier this month, model Elsa Hosk shared an Instagram dump of recent outfits, including a khaki Melissa Odabash button-down maxidress paired with Alaïa’s thick leather panel belt, which featured a Mini Mina bag attachment and a $2,080 price tag.

Prepare to see a lot more of these as we head into fall…hopefully with more affordable options. Though the look was buried in slide five of Hosk’s Instagram post, her belt bag photo was shared by Hailey Bieber on her Instagram story. Like Hosk, Bieber dipped her toes into touristcore this summer by embracing the controversial socks and sandals trend. Bringing back designer belt bags is the next logical step.
