I just have to assume Amanda bogarted all of the really premium celebrity pics for her Oscars posts this week, because I have quite the cast of real, uh, up and comers in this handbag round-up. There are still several names you know, but at least one or two that you’ve probably never heard of before today, including a gal who just flashed her bits at the Oscars. (Bless her.) Enjoy! [Editor’s Note: The Celebs, they were largely in hiding in the days around the Oscars! -Amanda]
Katie Holmes
Gucci Sylvie Bag
$2,890 via Gucci
Katie Holmes recently breezed through LAX with a posh Gucci Sylvie Bag. The Sylvie is certainly having a moment this week, and more evidence is forthcoming. Of course, no one here questions Katie Holmes’s prominence or her absolute right to wear floppy hats anywhere.
Blanca Blanco
Givenchy Antigona Bag
$1,750 via Barneys
Here’s actress Blanca Blanco, out and about in Beverly Hills with a sleek green Givenchy Antigona. I looked at her IMDB and I cannot for the life of me fathom why she was invited to the Oscars, but she was. She wore a high-slit dress and no underwear, and now it’s a whole thing. A star is born?
Chantel Jeffries
Chanel Classic Flap Bag
Shop Chanel via Vestiaire Collective
Next in celebrities I have never heard of before today, here’s Chantel Jeffries, heading into Catch with a cute hot pink Chanel Classic Flap. Chantel is apparently famous for occasionally dating/getting into car wrecks with Bieber. She also acts a bit. Whether she chooses to wear underwear on event carpets or not is her own business.
Deepika Padukone
Gucci Sylvie Bag
$3,500 via Gucci
Here’s international film star Deepika Padukone, blitzing through LAX with a breathtaking floral and pastel blue Gucci Sylvie. (I’ve never seen this bag before, so clearly Deepika is kind of a big deal.) She also attended the Oscars, wearing a dress that an Indian tabloid has accused her of wearing once five years ago. SHOCKING.
Hailey Clauson
Mansur Gavriel Elegant Bag
$825 via Net-a-Porter
Here’s model Hailey Clauson, out and about in NYC with a patent leather Mansur Gavriel Elegant Bag. Hailey is the fourth celeb featured here that I have never heard of, but then again, I am not an avid reader of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition.
Jared Leto
Gucci Weekender Bag
$2,450 via Gucci
Finally, a scruffy face you know! It’s Jared Leto of course, wearing an outfit that is Peak Jared Leto, and carrying an oversized, embroidered Gucci Weekender Bag that is extremely on-brand for Jared Leto.
Kourtney Kardashian
Gucci Marmont Bag
$1,890 via Gucci
We’ll put an end to this Gucci parade with Kourtney Kardashian, leaving a studio in LA with the prematurely timeless Gucci Marmont Bag.
Thandie Newton
Prada Vitello Daino Tote
$1,580 via Neiman Marcus
And finally, here’s Thandie Newton, leaving LAX with a lovely, pale daffodil yellow Prada tote. Thandie seems to have skipped the Oscars and headed straight for the Vanity Fair after-party, like a pro.
