You’ve likely seen plenty of coverage of the dresses stars wore on the red carpet at last night’s Chine-themed Met Ball, but now, we’re here to do what we do best: look at bags. Sometimes formal events don’t yield a great selection of accessories, but last night’s clutch choices could scarcely have been better.

Don’t any fashion people go to the Met Ball anymore?
OMG half the ladies, Perry, Kerry, Lily Collins, Olivia Wilde, Taraji Lisa Bonet and Ruth Wilson look like train wrecks! Btw Sienna when you are that flat chested no one, I repeat no one wants to see your non-existent cleavage. Lily Aldridge looks absolutely gorgeous. Some of the outfits were so bad, I didn’t even notice half of the bags.
I understand that this is a fashion blog so critique of fashion is to be expected but I don’t like the body shaming :/
We don’t like the body-shaming, either.
Helen Mirren continues to amaze. Adore her.
Did Chloe Moretz stumble into this event on her way shopping? Totally wrong choice of the outfit for the event. And her Coach wristlet looks like an afterthought.
Seriously, why are so many of these ladies wearing cocktail dresses at such a formal and fashionable event? This is a rare opportunity to go all out.
I had exactly the same thought. It’s not cute, trendy, edgy or avant garde to go underdressed to an event. You look foolish and children’s. They need to grow up and dress appropriately.
wow, Helen Mirren looks amazing, but many of the others are beyond train wrecks, can’t believe they think they look appropriate…
I think the best accessory was Derek Jeter.
DJ=PERFECTION
A Very disappointing Met Gala!
Once again I have NO idea who 80% of these people are!!!
I wish I could afford just ONE Judith Leiber bag. Each one simply breathtaking.
Agree, her bags are pieces of art!
Would be nice if you included a few more Chinese actresses or ladies since the theme is about China. Fan Bing Bing, who is more famous and successful than half the people on this list, wore an absolutely divine Christopher Bu dress paired with a LV clutch. Her fashion sense is definitely better than half the people on this list, COMBINED.
I sought her out specifically to include here (I saw a picture of her with her LV clutch on another site) but our photo agency didn’t have any photos of her, sadly. Or most of the other Chinese attendees. That seemed strange to me because we use one of the biggest photo agencies out there, but unfortunately, we can’t use a photo if we can’t buy the rights to publish it from them.
Chanel and Edie Parker – LOVE!!!!!
kate mara and kate hudson can do no wrong in my eyes. they look stunning!! (maybe it’s a kate thing, lol!)
Kinda disappointed no one carried the Kate Spade Chinese takeout bag 😉 seemed like the perfect opportunity (Yes, I am well aware of the Chanel one Rachel Weisz is carrying)
