The One Stud has been showing up in all the right places. It first appeared on the arms of models like Mona Tougaard and Achenrin Madit during Pierpaolo Piccioli’s spring 2022 collectsion, then popped up in the Zendaya-fronted campaign. In February, Anne Hathaway wore a plum version to take in the opening night of The Music Man on Broadway. A month later, Charli XCX test drove the mini-size while en route to rehearsals for her stint on Saturday Night Live. When jetting into Paris for fashion week, Tracee Ellis Ross brought a violet One Stud in the medium size. At the same time, attendees at the fall 2022 show, like Vanessa Hudgens and Anitta, matched their bags to their outfits. Online influencers like model Elsa Hosk, Leonie Hanne, and Dixie D’Amelio have been equally enamored. Their updates on Instagram reels and TikTok have given millions of followers lessons on how to style the piece.

Celebrity fans make headlines, but the real test of an It bag is whether or not it resonates with everyday people. So far, Piccioli’s design appears to be winning on that front. With Instagram users sharing their pics under the Valentino hashtag and social artists sharing paintings inspired by the collectsion, it’s only a matter of time before Valentino’s newest stud hits the streets.
