Debbie Harry, 79, stuns in new Gucci Blondie campaign - after cancelling concerts: 'She is still an icon!'

As an ardent admirer of the iconic and timeless Debbie Harry, I am simply blown away by her latest venture with Gucci! The 79-year-old legend defied age and expectations, gracefully modeling the Blondie bag collection in London. Her unparalleled style, spirit, and resilience have been a beacon of inspiration throughout my life, and this collaboration only serves to solidify her status as an eternal icon.


In a stunning turn of events, Debbie Harry graced the latest Gucci advertisement for their Blondie bag lineup. The campaign features her showcasing the $6,980 ‘Large Top Handle Bag’ alongside an endearing Yorkshire Terrier sitting comfortably in the backseat of a London taxi.

In a striking black sheer outfit, the lead singer of Blondie confidently flouted her age of 79 while showcasing the $4,200 Gucci ‘Blondie Medium Top Handle Bag’. A cute white pup was comfortably nestled in her lap during the photoshoot.

Photographer Nan Goldin additionally snapped Debbie (originally named Angela Trimble), wearing a deep-red leather jacket styled by Francesca Burns that complemented her $3,900 Gucci Blondie ‘Compact Top Handle Bag.’

According to Gucci’s creative director, Sabato De Sarno (who shared his thoughts with WWD on Thursday), what he admires most about Debbie Harry is her rebellious nature. She embodies a sense of freedom in her decisions, and she continues to be an icon.

‘I have always been a fan of Blondie; they marked specific moments of my life and inspired generations. She is American but she has a strong connection with London.’

The 41-year-old Italian designer pointed out that the recently reintroduced Blondie bag from the high-end fashion brand doesn’t bear its name because of Harry’s new wave group, but instead, it’s a design originating from 1971.

Born in Florida and raised in New Jersey, this singer was present at the front row during Gucci’s Cruise 2025 runway show, which took place at London’s Tate Modern on May 13. She attended alongside Demi Moore, Lila Moss, and her famous mom, Kate Moss.

Besides Debbie, Gucci also brought on board cellist-singer Kelsey Lu, along with models Alaato Jazyper and Yanan Wan, for their ‘We Will Always Have London’ promotional effort.

In 1974, Harry established Blondie alongside her former partner Chris Stein. Interestingly, they made a surprising announcement about the postponement of multiple Blondie concerts scheduled for August and September.

I’ve wrestled with this tough choice, knowing it might bring disappointment, and I want you to know that I fully grasp the impact of this announcement. [First person, paraphrased from the original statement]

A little over a month ago, it was verified by the ex-Playboy Bunny and the 74-year-old guitarist to BBC Radio 6 Music that they will release their 12th studio album next year.

Back in 2006, Blondie was honored with induction into the prestigious Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. This iconic band has managed to sell more than 40 million records across the globe, with their hits “Heart of Glass,” “Call Me,” “The Tide Is High,” and “Rapture” all reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

As a lifestyle connoisseur looking back, I’m thrilled to share that the dedicated patrons of the iconic CBGB club are now reaching an astounding 11.8 million monthly listeners on Spotify – a testament to their enduring influence in music. Not only that, but they also boast a vibrant online community of 4.5 million social media followers, proving their continued relevance and appeal in today’s digital world.
