The 40 Best Bags on the Arms of New York Fashion Week Spring 2017’s Celebrity Attendees

It feels as though it’s been New York Fashion Week for approximately a month and a half, and even though that’s a bit hyperbolic, the event does spill beyond the traditional bounds of a seven-day week to accommodate more shows than any other. That means, of course, that NYFW also has more than its fair share of notable attendees with head-turning bags hanging from their arms.

As we do every fashion week, we’ve pored over event images to zero in on the best bags, and we’ve compiled them, along with their owners (or, let’s be real–sometimes, they’re borrowers) below. It’s easily our favorite way to send another NYFW into that blue yonder.

Aimee Song
Chloé Faye Bag
$1,790 via Saks

Aimee kept more of a low profile at NYFW than she has in recent seasons, but we’re glad paps caught her with this particular Chloé bag; it’s a beauty.

Bella Hadid
Dior Diorama Bag

Bella didn’t surface until the very end of fashion week, despite the fact that her sister has been galavanting about for the entire thing.

Chriselle Lim
Altuzarra Ghianda Mini Saddle Bag
$1,395 via Barneys

We don’t talk about it quite enough, but Altuzarra’s bags are probably my favorite newcomers to the market in the past two years.

Cindy Crawford
Tom For Minaudiere
Shop Tom Ford via Neiman Marcus

Tom Ford, as a brand, considers itself a citizen of the world and shows its collections whenever and wherever Ford feels like. This season, New York.

Courtney Love
Coach Rogue Bag
$995 via Coach

Among my favorite changes that Stuart Vevers has brought to Coach is his interesting choice in celebs for the brand’s newly high-profile shows. Courtney looks great.

Elsa Hosk
Chanel Patchwork Flap Bag

Elsa is just about as dedicated to Chanel bags as a woman who gets tons of free designer goods can be.

Emily Ratajkowski
Miu Miu Dahlia Shoulder Bag
$1,850 via Saks

The funny thing about this photo is Emily was going to an awards show to which some people wore evening gowns.

Emma Roberts
Coach Dinky Bag
$450 via Coach

Emma is another among the varied celeb lineup that supports Stuart Vevers’s reign at Coach.

Coach Turnlock Saddle Bag

She supports him at night, too.

Eva Chen
Loewe Hammock Bag
$1,990 via Saks

Eva may be more behind-the-scenes at her position at Instagram than she was as an EIC, but her sense of style has clearly not wavered.

Gigi Hadid
Saint Laurent Sac de Jour Bag
$2,990 via Net-a-Porter

Gigi debuted a big collection with Tommy Hilfiger at NYFW, but she stayed loyal to her other designer bags.

Gina Gershon
Tom Ford Minaudiere
Shop Tom Ford via Neiman Marcus

Tom Ford is always a safe bet for an interesting guest list.

Glenda Bailey
Gabriela Hearst Nina Bag

I don’t understand why so many establishment fashion people are into this bag. It is…not attractive?

glenda-bailey-gabriela-hearst-nina-bag

Hailey Baldwin
Givenchy Antigona Bag
$2,435 via Nordstrom

For some reason, I was surprised to find out that Hailey Baldwin walked in a couple shows during fashion week, but then again, I’m not really sure what I assumed Hailey did for work, if not modeling.

Hannah Bronfman
Chanel Boy Bag

If I had Ms. Bronfman’s abs, you best believe I’d be in a crop top too.

Helena Bordon
Prada Cahier Shoulder Bag
$2,660 via Net-a-Porter

It’s too early to tell how Prada’s new designs will do with consumers, but celebrities and fashion “influencers” seem to be into them. (And so am I, honestly.)

helena-bordon-prada-cahier-shoulder-bag

Ji Hye Park
Coach Rogue Bag
$895 via Coach

Coach has long been a quintessentially American brand, but Vevers’s designs have helped it gain a more global following, which includes international celebs.

Jessica Alba
Narciso Rodriguez Clutch
Shop via Shopbop

There’s always one or two actresses who end up all over NYFW in a given season, and for Spring 2017 it was Jessica Alba–she was everywhere.

Jessica Alba

$3,490 via Net-a-Porter

To her credit, she looked great everywhere she went.

Julia Restoin Roitfeld
Chanel Shoulder Bag

Carine Roitfeld’s daughter usually sticks to Paris Fashion Week, but this season she was surprisingly present in NYC.

Karolina Kurkova
Chanel Flap Bag

Anyone else suddenly craving a little blue velvet bag?

Karreuche Tran
Alexander Wang Roxy Bucket Bag
$595 via Alexander Wang

Alexander Wang always hosts a blowout, and Karreuche sure looks like she’s ready to attend a party.

Leaf Greener
Delvaux Brillant Bag
$5,750 via Barneys

I’m obsessed with the sleeves on this shirt.

Miroslava Duma
Proenza Schouler Hava Top Handle Bag
$1,650 via Proenza Schouler

Miroslava used to be quite the street style swan, but she’s toned it down to something much more relatable and wearable in the past season or two.

Nicky Hilton
Dior Mini Lady Dior Bag

Nicky, on the other hand, becomes ever more ladylike as the seasons pass.

nicky-hilton-dior-mini-lady-dior-bag

Nicky Hilton
Hermès Kelly Bag

All of her NYFW looks this season were fit for a garden party.

Olivia Palermo
Salar Milano Mini Bag

We’re always happy when fashion week street style is a conduit to finding a new, small bag brand.

olivia-palermo-salar-milano-mini-bag

Paris Hilton
Moschino Powerpuff Girls Bag
Shop Moschino via Neiman Marcus

Sure, why not.

paris-hilton-moschino-powerpuff-girls-bag

Priyanka Chopra
Altuzarra Ghianda Chain Strap Shoulder Bag
$2,395 via Barneys

Like I said earlier in this post: Altuzarra’s bags are such a welcome addition to the market.

Shop via Tory Burch

This dress makes me wish it weren’t about to be cold outside.

If I had to deal with paparazzi, this is the face I’d be making all the time.

Sara Sampaio
Chloé Drew Bag
$1,650 via Net-a-Porter

This is just about as no-muss, no-fuss as a fashion week outfit gets.

sara-sampaio-chloe-drew-bag

Serena Williams
Coach Varsity Patch Turnlock Saddle Bag
$495 via Coach

What do Courtney Love and Serena Williams have in common? Coach show attendance!

serena-williams-coach-varsity-patch-turnlock-saddle-bag

Susie Bubble
Altuzarra Ghianda Hobo
$2,195 via Barneys

The bag is beautiful, of course, but am I the only one who didn’t know Susie was expecting?

susie-bubble-altuzarra-ghianda-hobo

Tavi Gevinson
Proenza Schouler Hava Bag
$1,650 via Proenza Schouler

Tavi has grown up to be such an accomplished young woman and I feel very motherly toward her.

tavi-gevinson-proenza-schouler-hava-bag

Teyana Taylor
Saint Laurent Sac de Jour Bag
$2,790 via FWRD

I can’t be the only one of us who googled “Teyana Taylor workout” after seeing the Fade video.

teyana-taylor-saint-laurent-sac-de-jour-bag

Victoria Beckham
Victoria Beckham Bag
Shop via Net-a-Porter

Carrying one’s own bag, as one does.

Zendaya was on hand to help host the Project Runway finale show.

Zoë Kravitz
