The 2014 Cannes Film Festival has come and gone, all two weeks of it, although I’m of the belief that it is perhaps happening out there, somewhere, in perpetuity, but on a plane of existence to which we only have access once a year. Supermodels are strutting around a beachside paradise in gowns, movie stars are attending lavish premieres, Roberto Cavalli is hosting endless yacht parties. (Actually, that last part probably happens on our very own plane of existence too.)
Just like we did last year, we set out to find what the brightest stars were carrying during their time in the South of France, and we’ve assembled our findings below. Get ready for vacation envy.
Sofia Coppola
Louis Vuitton Clutch Saumur
Usually Sofia goes with one of her eponymous Vuitton clutches, but for Cannes she chose an ever so slightly different Vuitton clutch
Adele Exarchopoulos
Louis Vuitton Petite-Malle Clutch
Vuitton made sure that its women came out in full force with the brand’s new bags all over Cannes.
Chiara Ferragni
Philipp Plein Little Weapon Bag
The Blonde Salad has made the jump from Internet personality to Cannes attendee, which requires an impressive amount of hustle.
Kelly Rutherford
We’re not sure who made Kelly’s sparkly little clutch, but we’re big fans of her in general.
Amy Willerton
Chanel Flap Bag
Being blonde, young and wearing a bright yellow dress en route to a French red carpet has to be a pretty neat way to spend an evening.
Alessandra Ambrosio
Christian Louboutin Mina Strass Clutch
Shop Christian Louboutin via Net-a-Porter
I’m not sure why so many supermodels show up at Cannes, except for the fact that the French clearly love having beautiful people around.
Bar Rafaeli
So many supermodels.
Jessie J
Celine Cabas Phantom Tote
I’m also not clear on Jessie J, but then again, I never have been.
Kylie Minogue
Kylie is eternal, both figuratively and perhaps literally. She never seems to age.
Hofit Golan
Salvatore Ferragamo Gancio Clutch
$695 via Ferragamo
Hofit Golan doesn’t just inexplicably show up all over Fashion Week – she’s also a dedicated attender of Cannes events and premieres.
Paz Vega
Saint Laurent Courtney Clutch
Shop Saint Laurent via MATCHESFASHION.COM
When your ensemble is almost entirely black, matching your clutch hardware, belt and jewelry at a formal event pulls everything together.
Cara Delevingne
Mulberry Cara Delevingne Backpack
Shop Mulberry via MATCHESFASHION.COM
It’s not an international party if Cara Delevingne doesn’t show up and make a face.
Jessica Hart
Edie Parker Seashell Jean Clutch
Shop Edie Parker via MATCHESFASHION.COM
Still more models.
Alessandra Ambrosio
Roberto Cavalli Dea Tassel Clutch
$2,375 via LUISAVIAROMA
When one is a supermodel boarding Roberto Cavalli’s yacht in the south of France, one carries an extravagant Cavalli clutch. I don’t make the rules.
Rosario Dawson
Jimmy Choo Cloud Clutch
$1,895 via Jimmy Choo
Side shaves are a tough look to pull off, but Rosario’s is pretty fierce.
Milla Jovovich
Alaia Laser Cut Bag
Shop Alaia via Net-a-Porter
A combination of Alaia and Diet Coke is something I can always get behind.
Irina Shayk
Hermes Kelly Bag
Lest you think that we have already run out of supermodels.
Tamara Ecclestone
Hermes Himalayan Crocodile Birkin
No gathering of obscenely wealthy Europeans is complete without at least one Ecclestone.
Lily Allen
Chanel Python Timeless Clutch
Lily Allen is contractually obligated to have Karl Lagerfeld approve all of her outfits. (I don’t know if that’s true, but it feels true.)
Dita Von Teese
Dolce & Gabbana Woven Miss Dolce Bag
$2,295 via MyTheresa
Dita Von Teese is a more perfect human than all of us and the airport’s inefficiencies bore her.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley
Dolce & Gabbana Miss Sicily Bag
$2,895 via LUISAVIAROMA
Dolce outfitted an army of beautiful women with versions of this bag to carry at Cannes. Rosie got the biggest one.
Cara Delevingne
Chanel Flap Bag
Cara’s contract with Mulberry almost certainly requires her to wear one of her namesake bags a certain amount of the time, and whenever I see hear carrying something else, I wonder what the details of her deal are.
Christina Hendricks
Thale Blanc Tiffany Bag
$1,095 via Thale Blanc
It’s not all that often that I see a bag that’s genuinely unique, but the handle on Christina’s Thale Blanc shoulder bag is totally gorgeous.
Kylie Minogue
Roger Vivier Prismick Bag
$3,455 via MyTheresa
The Prismick is always a decidedly elegant choice.
Eva Herzigova
Dolce & Gabbana Small Miss Sicily Bag
$2,895 via LUISAVIAROMA
A supermodel with a Dolce bag – this is the definitive image of Cannes.
Claudia Galanti
Hermes Crocodile Birkin
Actually, never mind. An Italian model in a ball gown beach dress, carrying an exotic Birkin while boarding a yacht, is the actual definitive image of Cannes.
Monica Bellucci
Christian Louboutin Sweet Charity Bag
$1,695 via Neiman Marcus
No one has ever looked so lovely as Monica Bellucci, turning against the Cannes tides in a smart suit.
Chloe Moretz
Chanel Graffiti Backpack
In hindsight, I’m a little surprised this was the only Chanel backpack I found during my Cannes photo-searching.
Salma Hayek
Saint Laurent Woven Clutch
Shop Saint Laurent via MATCHESFASHION.COM
When you’re married to the man who owns Saint Laurent and you’re attending the premiere of a film about Saint Laurent, you probably carry Saint Laurent.
Lady Victoria Hervey
Hermes Graffiti Birkin
Despite Googling her, I’m not 100% who Lady Victoria Hervey is or why she had someone doodle on her Birkin. She’s consistent in her love of a plunging neckline, though.
Monica Bellucci
Dolce & Gabbana Small Miss Sicily Bag
$2,895 via LUISAVIAROMA
Monica Bellucci was also among the people awarded this Dolce bag before Cannes.
Liya Kebede
Louis Vuitton Fall 2014 Epi Bag
I cannot figure out the name of this bag for the life of me, so if you could help, I would be eternally grateful. It popped up on Angelina Jolie, too.
Kendall Jenner
Longchamp Leather Satchel
Shop Longchamp via Nordstrom
Longchamp placed this bag on two celebs for Cannes, which could mean that the French nylon stalwart intends to make a major push into leather in the near future.
Julianne Moore
Louis Vuitton Petite-Malle Clutch
Louis Vuitton has proved quite successful getting its Fall 2014 clutches into the hands of celebs.
Freida Pinto
Longchamp Leather Bag
Shop Longchamp via Nordstrom
Hopefully this Longchamp satchel and the rest of the brand’s new leather line surface soon.
Paris Hilton
Chanel Classic Flap Bag
Paris has been carrying this bag for years, despite the fact that everyone who saw The Bling Ring knows she has an overstuffed closet. I can’t decide if that’s admirable or boring.
Myleene Klass
Chanel Grand Shopping Tote
If you look closely, you can also see Myleene’s Chanel WOC.
Kendall Jenner
Givenchy Lucrezia Bag
$2,450 via Barneys
A Kardashian-Jenner carrying Givenchy is no big surprise – the brand outfitted everyone for Kim and Kanye’s wedding, after all.
Lupita Nyong’o
This is a gorgeous bag, despite the fact that we’re unsure of its source. Also, LUPITAAAAAA.
Riley Keough
Louis Vuitton Petite-Malle Bag
It seems only fitting to close out Cannes with one more Petite-Malle.
