The Best Celebrity Bag Looks of Milan Fashion Week Spring 2017

The shows have moved on to Paris and we’re about to go with them (metaphorically, at least), but first, we have one more unfinished duty in Milan: taking stock of what the week’s most notable attendees carried to the shows. As you can imagine, all the big Italian brands were well-represented, but the bag selections went further beyond that than you might expect.

Fashion Week dressing is always at its most exuberant in Milan, which yields plenty to discuss no matter the quality of the outcome. This year, though, the results were blessedly chic, and not always in the expected ways. Check out all the best looks below.

Adriana Lima
Miu Miu Dahlia Bag
$1,850 via Saks

Adriana was all over MFW, which surprised me because I don’t necessarily think of her as a runway model, first and foremost.

Adriana Lima
Balenciaga Mini City Bag
$1,545 via Balenciaga

She’s certainly a welcome addition to the lineup, though.

Anna Dello Russo
Fendi Ruffled Baguette Bag
$2,800 via Nordstrom

ADR, on the other hand, is practically the event’s mascot.

Anna Dello Russo
Prada Cahier Clutch

She didn’t carry a bag to most of the shows, but she came through for us a couple times.

Ari Westphal
Céline Shoulder Bag

As you can guess from this photo, Ari is a rising star in the modeling world.

Bella Hadid
Dior Diorama Bag
$2,749 via Vestiaire Collective

It wouldn’t be fashion week without the It Model of the moment, Bella Hadid.

Bella Hadid
Fendi DotCom Bag
$2,600 via Nordstrom

I’m very excited for this new, smaller Fendi Dotcom.

Candela Novembre
Fendi Micro Double Baguette Bag
$2,450 via Saks

I noticed that Milan’s street style pics tended to be more spirited than New York’s–maybe that’s the photographers, or maybe that’s just the vibe of the city.

Chiara Ferragni
Prada Corsaire Bag
$2,220 via Net-a-Porter

For the Prada show, Chiara Ferragni paired her brand new Prada bag with some underboob and a sailor hat, as one does.

Chiara Ferragni
Prada Corsaire Bag

The bag is versatile: it also pairs well with thigh-high vinyl boots and a Guy Fieri bowling shirt flame print.

Chiara Ferragni
Fendi DotCom Bag
$2,600 via Nordstrom

Fendi went all-in on getting this new little bag into the hands of street style stars, and the brand’s efforts paid dividends.

Dakota Johnson
Gucci Marmont Bag
$2,300 via Gucci

Gucci, of course, had its own army of style stars, many of whom you’ll see below.

Dylan Xue
Chanel Boy Bag
Shop Chanel Boy Bags via Vestiaire Collective

I’m always appreciative when photographers spot a couple of the runway models who aren’t recognizable enough to be brand ambassadors, because they’re usually carrying bags they weren’t given for the sake of the photos outside the show.

Ellie Bamber
Fendi Baguette Bag
Shop Fendi via Net-a-Porter

Now is as good a time as any to start the parade of European actresses I had to Google. After all, it’s a good warmup for Paris.

Gigi Hadid
Versace Medusa Backpack
$1,895 via SSENSE

You have to admired a blowout this sleek and precise.

Hailey Baldwin
Dolce & Gabbana Sicily Floral Bag
$2,295 via Net-a-Porter

Dolce & Gabbana releases some version of this ensemble basically four times a year, but you can’t really blame them. It’s a good one.

Helena Bordon
Edie Parker Jean Clutch
$1,295 via Net-a-Porter

Not only did Milan have lots of street style, but it had a very stylish red carpet at the week’s amfAR Gala.

Irina Shayk
Givenchy Antigona Bag
$2,435 via Barneys

Irina Shayk
Moschino Pill Bag
$1,095 via Net-a-Porter

Love it or hate it, having a strong visual gimmick available immediately upon a show’s completion is a tactic Moschino has employed brilliantly.

Izabel Goulart
Fendi DotCom Bag
$2,900 via Net-a-Porter

Izabel is a perennial favorite of Fendi’s and, to their credit, she is totally gorgeous.

See, what did I tell you about the models marching to the beat of their own handbag drums?

Kendall Jenner
Givenchy Nightingale Bag
Shop Givenchy via Neiman Marcus

Kendall, of course, can do what she wants because she doesn’t need the paycheck.

Lilly zu Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg and Vanessa zu Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleberg
Bulgari Serpenti Clutches

As you might have guessed by their names and presences on a philanthropic red carpet, these ladies are German royalty and heiresses.

Lottie Moss
Bulgari Serpenti Mini Bag

Lottie is royalty of a different sort.

Milana Koroleva

$1,290 via Gucci

Every time I see one of these Gucci Marmonts, I just want a velvet bag more.

Miroslava Duma
Hermès Crocodile Kelly Bag

Mira’s kept an increasingly low profile at fashion weeks since she had her baby a couple seasons ago, but thankfully photographers captured her with this stunning Hermès.

Natasha Poly

I’ve always been a fan of the Wave, and this natural python version is especially stunning.

Milan Fashion Week really loves its Brazilian supermodels

Serena originally chose this bag as part of her outfit to attend Coach’s NYFW show, but she apparently liked it so much she kept carrying it.
