It seems summer gets shorter and shorter every year. But while summer vacay is rapidly spiraling to a close for some of us (kids actually go back to school before August now, in some places), celebs seem to be hitting their summer stride. This week, they’re carrying ridiculously summery handbag options. I’m talking about top-handled wicker totes, blindingly white leather bucket bags, that kind of thing. If you need a little summer style inspiration to propel you through the rest of the season, look no further.
Alicia Vikander
Louis Vuitton Petite Malle Bag
Alicia Vikander is making the press rounds to promote the latest entry in the Jason Bourne movie franchise. Here she is leaving a press appearance in NYC with a gold and silver Louis Vuitton Petite Malle Bag. Alicia was tapped to be a face of Louis Vuitton last year, and she has been carrying the brand’s bags religiously ever since.
EJ Johnson
Chanel Maxi Classic Flap Bag
Here’s EJ Johnson, heading into an appearance on Kimmel to promote another season of Rich Kids with his treasured Chanel Maxi Classic Flap. EJ’s gender-neutral personal style is always refreshing in a world where many men feel weird carrying any kind of bag, let alone one primarily marketed to a female audience.
Gigi Hadid
Versace Mini Palazzo Empire Bag

Now let’s focus on something we can all agree on: Gigi Hadid‘s eye make-up, and how awesome it is. Gigi is actually seen here leaving a photo shoot in NYC. She’s carrying her favorite bag of the summer, the Versace Mini Palazzo Empire. She’s been carrying this bag almost exclusively for weeks.
Kelly Rowland
Chanel Drawstring Bag
Paps spotted Kelly Rowland doing a little grocery shopping, post-workout in LA with a lovely quilted navy blue Chanel Drawstring Bag in tow.

Here’s an overexposed Kirsten Dunst leaving an LA juice bar with a wicker Salvatore Ferragamo bag. Kirsten wins this week’s award for Most Seasonally Appropriate Bag of the Moment.
Kristen Bell
Saint Laurent Sac de Jour Bag
$2,890 via Saks
And here’s an especially glamorous-looking Kristen Bell, heading into Kimmel to promote her new movie with a classy black Saint Laurent Sac de Jour. Bad Moms will be in theaters everywhere next Friday, July 29th, and I feel that if you support WOMEN in the movies, you should see it, as an act of solidarity.
Reese Witherspoon
Proenza Schouler Perforated Bucket Bag
$991 via farfetch.com
Wait, maybe Reese Witherspoon wins Most Seasonally Appropriate Bag of the Moment with her perforated white Proenza bucket bag. Fine, I declare it a tie! Fake awards for everyone!
Zoë Kravitz
Saint Laurent Monogramme Mini Bag
$1,990 via Saks
Finally, here’s chillmaster Zoë Kravitz, picking up some new jeans and other sundries in NYC. She’s carrying a logo’d Saint Laurent mini, lest you confuse her for someone who is not famous.
There is absolutely nothing gender-neutral about EJ; he likes to wear women’s clothing and women’s accessories. His personality is fierce but his styling is usually tragic. Love him but wish he’d get a personal tailor and stylist.
Are people afraid to call his style feminine?
Every time there is a post about EJ, it’s inevitable that there will be negative comments – even when it’s wrapped inside of a supposed compliment. I’m not certain what the real root of the displeasure with him and/or his style is coming from but he’s young and has years to change his ways or hell, maybe he doesn’t give a damn what anyone thinks and will dress this way forever. I’m certain everyone with a snide remark has always conformed to other’s opinions about their lives – how exhausted you must be with living for other people’s approval. Let EJ live!
I agree 1000%. Love It! Be Your Authentic Self! And As A GAY MAN With An Androgynous Style, I Love Both The Compliments And The Questionable Looks I Receive….
EJ is a pure example of how money can buy you designer items but zero class/style – cheap hooker chic?
Agree 100%. Glad someone said it. He looks crazy IMO. Looks like a store mannequin with super expensive obvious labels thrown on. Spoiled rich brat blowing Magic’s money.
I think people now a days are scared to say anything as it may effect homosexuals or transgender but the reality is that crazy is crazy regardless of gay/straight/trans
He is trying to create a Kardashian empire for himself and more power to him but can u imagine some real person trying to dress like him and follow in his footsteps inn any city in the US?????? LOL
Agree. His choices are awful!
I currently earn close to $6000-$8000 every month working from home online. So if you are ready to do simple at home work for several hours /a day from comfort of your home and get decent income while doing it… Then this job is for you… http://self55.com

Does anyone know what Gigi Hadid’s nail polish is?
It almost looks like that new powder chrome that people are using on Instagram.
Reese looks like perforated bucket bag kinda girl, doesn’t she?
LOL, I love Reece Witherspoon and her bag charms with her initials. She is SO SOUTHERN. Bless!
I don’t think Johnson is gender neutral at all. It would be nice to see other men being featured here.
i view EJ as a cheap hooker regardless of gender
While I wouldn’t go that far, it’s hard not to wince at his sartorial choices. The effect is more embarassing than aesthetic.
how i love that wicker bag – very nantucket!
Whether EJ’s clothing is gender-neutral depends on acceptance. Now, when a woman wears a suit in neutral colour she is considered to be wearing gender-neutral clothing. However, in the 1930 – women wearing the same thing would be described as wearing men’s clothing. Trousers only became gender-neutral when it was became accepted and commonplace. In sum, I think both Emily and the commenters are correct 🙂
i suppose you are right but dressing feminine or masculine are different from dressing like a hooker
Hahahahaha
EJ dresses horrible and nothing neutral about the outfit he has on. Nightmare.
I love Reese style, she never looks like cheap ho. Because there are a lot of cheap looking ho in Hollywood.
yes, EJ dresses like a chap hooker despite spending thousands on clothes, EJ should transition and embrace his feminity. caitlin jenner dresses very well
I have said this a few times, sorry… I love everything about EJ Johnson. Why pick a gender when you can be EJ JOHNSON 😉
Gigi = Perfection
beautiful bag – why have the versace bags not caught on?
