There are two clear winners of this round-up: Fendi and Louis Vuitton. And, interestingly enough, almost every Louis Vuitton bag represented here is one of the brand’s classic logo designs instead of the newer, more subtle styles. Is it possible that celebs are getting nostalgic for logos as the brand purges some of its popular monogram styles of yesteryear? (Fare thee well, Murakami Monogram Multicolore collection.)
Ariana Grande
Victoria Beckham City Victoria Bag
$2,464 via farfetch.com
Here’s Ariana Grande, arriving at the airport in Tokyo in an animal onesie, as one does. She’s carrying a black Victoria Beckham bag, which really pops with her intense hair poufs. (I’m truly confused as to how seriously I’m supposed to take Ariana Grande at this point in pop culture history.)
Elizabeth Olsen
The Row Classic Tote
$2,850 via Saks
Paps spotted actress Elizabeth Olsen heading into Jennifer Klein’s “Day of Indulgence” party in Brentwood over the weekend. (Is your interest piqued? More on the “Day of Indulgence in a hot minute.) I’m going to make a wild guess that Elizabeth did not have to pay for this tote.
Elle Fanning
Louis Vuitton Speedy Bandouliere Bag
Elle Fanning was recently spotted doing a little shopping in LA with a classic LV Speedy Bandouliere Bag. I feel like Elle is one of the few Hollywood celebs/hippie flower children who can leave the house without makeup without then being shamed by eight major gossip rags for doing so. But of course, that’s a luxury that should be afforded to every 17-year-old.
Kerry Washington
Louis Vuitton x Christian Louboutin Shopper Tote
Here’s an adorable pic of Kerry Washington, heading into that same “Day of Indulgence” fete with a gorgeous Louis Vuitton x Christian Louboutin collab bag. (If anyone can ID the designer of her dress, please share in the comments!) Jennifer Klein is a big-time Hollywood producer with a ton of celeb gal pals, and once a year they converge upon her Brentwood home and submit to a day of pampering and piles of freebies from brands trying to woo celebs. It must be such a drag.
Lake Bell
Lee Savage Broken Space Clutch
$2,550 via Barneys
Lake Bell recently attended the LA premiere of her new political action thriller No Escape with a tiny Lee Savage clutch. No Escape also stars Owen Wilson and Pierce Brosnan and hits US theaters on August 26th. (With Owen and Lake playing the two leads, I had to watch the trailer to ensure that this film isn’t actually some action movie satire. It is not.)
Laverne Cox
Fendi Peekaboo Bag
$4,700 via Net-a-Porter
Laverne-Cox is quite a fan of Fendi. Here she is heading into an appearance on Good Morning America with a black leather Fendi Peekaboo. We saw her carrying a nice two-tone Fendi 3Jours Tote to a film premiere earlier this month.
Reese Witherspoon
Fendi Petite 2Jours Bag
$1,900 via Barneys
Speaking of Fendi, here’s Reese Witherspoon, leaving her office in LA in full Reese Witherspoon effect with a bright pink Fendi Petite 2Jours. What’s it like to have a petite figure that cropped clothing looks good on? Someone, please explain! (Also, if you love Reese, then check out The Many Bags of Reese Witherspoon and The Many Bags of Reese Witherspoon, Part 2.)
Shanina Shaik
Louis Vuitton Neverfull Tote
Here’s Aussie mode Shanina Shaik, shopping with a friend after hitting the gym in NYC. She’s carrying a Louis Vuitton Neverfull and slamming some brand of bottled juice that I’ve noticed is particularly hot with the juice-swilling celeb set recently. By the by, if you’re about to purchase your first Neverfull, all the info you could ever need can be found in The Ultimate Bag Guide: Louis Vuitton Neverfull Tote.
