The Dior Winter 2026-2027 campaign unfolds across a single dream-like day in the French countryside, photographed by David Sims under the creative direction of Jonathan Anderson. A violin rests in the grass. Delphiniums bank up behind a sleeping model. Polka dots meet check, tweed meets tulle, and the Dior Cigale bag, the Peanut clutch, and the Lady Dior turn up in the hands of a cast that includes Laura Kaiser, Sunday Rose, Ziqi Zhao, and Dru Campbell for the women’s story, and Josh O’Connor and Lakeith Stanfield for the men’s. It reads as Anderson’s clearest thesis yet: Dior loosened from its own ceremony, laid out on the lawn, watched in soft afternoon light.

This is the second full advertising cycle since Anderson took charge of women’s, men’s, and couture, and the tonal shift from his January debut is deliberate. Where his first coed campaign staged its cast on a Louis XVI settee in aristocratic interiors, Winter 2026 moves everyone outdoors, into meadows, orchards, and beside a lily-dotted pond.
Sims shoots it the way you’d remember a warm afternoon rather than document one: windswept hair, half-closed eyes, dandelion seeds caught mid-flight, bodies folded into the grass with the ease of people who have nowhere else to be. Benjamin Bruno styles both chapters, with Guido Palau on hair and Poppy Bartlett building the sets — the same creative core that has defined the Anderson-era Dior look.
The women’s campaign: tweed, tulle, and a garden full of bags
The women’s imagery gathers Kaiser, Rose, Zhao, and Campbell into a kind of collective reverie — dozing on one another’s shoulders, trailing hands through wildflowers, cradling handbags like objects found rather than bought.

The clothes hold Anderson’s now-signature contradiction: peplumed bar jackets and gold-buttoned shearling over frothy tulle skirts, sequinned mesh against lace, sharp check suiting beside the softest boiled-wool knits. Christian Dior’s flower-woman gets rewritten in a lower, more offhand key, and the styling lets a slumped posture or a bare foot carry as much of the mood as the tailoring does.
The bags do real work here, and the range is wide. The Cigale bag — Anderson’s trapezoidal, single-handle silhouette drawn from Monsieur Dior’s beloved La Cigale dress — appears in mint leather, soft pink, forest-green velvet, and a cheeky black-and-white polka dot, its metal-ringed bow catching the light.
The Lady Dior returns reimagined: a white version dense with beading and silver charms, a green edition scattered with appliqué flowers, and pastel Cannage minis in blush and pale blue. Anderson’s puckered, sculptural Cannage Tote anchors the heavier looks in olive suede and tweed, while the viral Peanut clutch — a surrealist, pod-shaped minaudière in brocade — supplies the collection’s wink. Watch, too, for the Frog Minaudière glimpsed near the water and the embellished knit and shearling top-handles that read as this season’s most tactile, un-precious ideas.

The men’s campaign: a violin, denim, and Donegal tweed
The men’s chapter, titled around that same violin and delphiniums motif, casts Josh O’Connor and Lakeith Stanfield as two very different figures sharing the same enchanted afternoon. O’Connor — the Emmy-winning Crown lead, later of La Chimera and Challengers — lounges on a green velvet settee in houndstooth tailoring and a ruffled white shirt, blossoms brushing his face.
Stanfield, the Oscar-nominated star of Judas and the Black Messiah and Atlanta, sits cross-legged in the grass with a violin and, in another frame, a purple sequinned tank and knit crossbody, tattoos and beaded mesh catching the sun. The pairing gives Anderson two registers at once: period-romantic and loose, contemporary cool.
Materially, the menswear leans into Donegal tweed, stonewashed denim, checked shirting, and glittered knits, cut with the same play between formality and ease that runs through the women’s line. The accessories carry Anderson’s functional streak: the suede Dior messenger with its embossed medallion and oval buckles, the knitted crossbody, and the literary Book Tote — here the Il Gattopardo (Lampedusa’s The Leopard) edition, embroidered with a rampant leopard, extending the book-cover concept Anderson introduced at his debut. It’s the same house language his debut coed campaign set out, now warmed by countryside light and two actors who understand how to sit still for a camera. Taken together, the Dior Winter 2026-2027 campaign makes Anderson’s project legible: heritage codes, handled with wit, carried out into the open air.
