The Many Bags of Vanessa Hudgens

If you like weird pop culture things, you’re probably eagerly anticipating the release of Spring Breakers, a film directed by Harmony Korine that stars people as varied as Disney princess Selena Gomez and Atlanta rapper Gucci Mane (in his cinematic debut, no less). I happen to love weird pop culture things, so to celebrate the film, we’re going to take a look at the handbag collection of Vanessa Hudgens, who plays one of Gomez’s debauched friends in film. If you like fringe, you’re in the right place.

Vanessa’s personal style is pretty much All Coachella, All The Time; when left to her own devices, she generally looks like she’d rather be sitting in the California desert and listening to some live music than doing whatever it is she’s actually doing at the time. I can’t say I identify with it personally, but if you’ve got a bit of hippie chick in you, this one’s going to be right up your alley.

I always try to start where I think the celeb in question would want me to start, and I don’t think I love anything on this earth as much as Vanessa loves fringe. My favorite of her (many) fringe-y bags is this Botkier Morgan Fringed Satchel. Shop Botkier via Bloomingdale’s.

In general, Hudgens seems to prefer her fringe in small crossbody form, like with this beaded suede Lucky Brand Get Laced Fringe Bag. Shop Lucky Brand via Zappos.

For Vanessa, one tan suede fringe bag is not enough, which is why she also has the Sabrina Tach Shredded Suede Bag. Shop Sabrina Tach bags via Etsy.

For a slight change, how about some tan leather fringe? Vanessa’s got it covered with this Cole Haan Crossbody Bag. Shop Cole Haan bags via Nordstrom.

Relative to Vanessa’s other bags, the tassel on this brown suede Ruehl No. 925 Walker Cacao Bag is a pretty small amount of fringe.

Of course, a craving for grey fringe can also be accommodated by Vanessa’s collection, like with this Antik Batik Juddy Fringed Bag. Shop Antik Batik bags via ShopBop.

Even when they aren’t covered in strips of suede, Vanessa likes a mini crossbody, like this Chanel St. Tropez Shoulder Bag.

Vanessa likes this positively tiny Cole Haan Phoebe Leather Crossbody so much that she regularly carries it in two colors. First, black. Shop Cole Haan bags via Nordstrom.

Perhaps surprisingly, the bag that appears to be Vanessa’s time-tested favorite in her entire collection doesn’t seem to be a crossbody at all. Instead, it’s this Balenciaga Giant Part Time Bag. Buy a dark green version for $1,945 via MyTheresa.

Vanessa has a well-developed appreciation for Balenciaga. She also uses a Balenciaga Weekender Bag for travel. Buy through Neiman Marcus for $1,845.

I wish I had Vanessa’s Balenciaga Midday Bag for myself – the brand no longer makes this shape. Shop Balenciaga via Neiman Marcus.

Despite her penchant for casualness, Vanessa cleans up quit well. She looks so pretty in this Jenny Packham dress and Daniel Swarovski Dedicace Clutch.

This Salvatore Ferragamo Etched Box Clutch looks almost like it were woven out of fringe, which seems appropriate. Shop Ferragamo via Neiman Marcus.

Sometimes, Vanessa takes her love for tan in a more high-end direction, like with this Louis Vuitton Stephen Monogram Embossed Cuir Bag.

We already mentioned one of her Chanel bags, but Vanessa seems to have some affection for the brand. Here she is with a Chanel Classic Flap Bag.

Is that a Vintage Chanel Backpack in Vanessa’s hand? It sure looks like it.

If Vanessa wants to take her boho look more high-end, Givenchy’s handbags are a good place to start. This Givenchy Melancholia Bag is a nice place to start. Shop Givenchy via Barneys.

Ultimately, I think a Givenchy Nightingale might be the perfect premium designer bag for Vanessa. Buy a Nightingale for $2,260 via Barneys.
