Debbie Harry stunned in Gucci’s new campaign for the Blondie bag collection, in which she modeled the $6,980 ‘Large Top Handle Bag’ alongside an adorable Yorkie in the back seat of a London taxi.

The Blondie frontwoman easily defied her 79 years in a sheer black ensemble as she modeled the $4,200 Gucci Blondie ‘Medium Top Handle Bag’ while a white dog sat on her lap.

Photographer Nan Goldin also captured Debbie (born Angela Trimble) wearing an oxblood leather jacket selected by stylist Francesca Burns to pair with the $3,900 Gucci Blondie ‘Small Top Handle Bag’.

‘What I like most about Debbie Harry is her irreverence. She is a free spirit in her choices, and remains an icon,’ said Gucci creative director Sabato de Sarno World Water Day on Thursday.

‘I’ve always been a Blondie fan; They marked specific moments in my life and inspired generations. He is American but has a strong connection to London.

The 41-year-old Italian designer noted that the luxury fashion house’s revamped Blondie bag is not named after Harry’s new wave band, but rather a design dating back to 1971.

The Florida-born, New Jersey-raised singer previously sat front row at Gucci’s Cruise 2025 runway presentation held at London’s Tate Modern on May 13 alongside Demi Moore, Lila Moss and her famous mother Kate Moss .

In addition to Debbie, Gucci recruited cellist and singer Kelsey Lu, as well as models Alaato Jazyper and Yanan Wan, to front the ‘We Will Always Have London’ campaign.

Harry co-founded Blondie in 1974 with ex-boyfriend Chris Stein, and they mysteriously announced “the cancellation of several Blondie concert dates during August and September.”

“This was a difficult decision to make, and we understand how disappointing this news is for everyone,” the three-time Grammy nominees wrote on July 19.

‘We will keep you informed as soon as possible. Your support means a lot to us and we are grateful for your understanding. Refunds, where applicable, will be issued immediately. Please contact your ticket purchasing point if you require more information.

This, a month after the former Playboy bunny and the 74-year-old guitarist confirmed BBC Radio 6 Music that their twelfth studio album would be released next year.

Blondie, who was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006, has sold more than 40 million records worldwide, including the Billboard Hot 100 number one hits Heart of Glass, Call Me, The Tide Is High and Rapture.

CBGB regulars still get 11.8 million monthly listeners on Spotify and have 4.5 million social media followers.
