We’re now three-quarters of the way through the Spring 2016 fashion month, which means Milan has just ended and Paris is beginning. Before we move onto all of the beauty bags that will undoubtedly grace the French runways, though, we wanted to take a look back at the Milan Fashion Week’s most notable star style.
Below, we’ve ID’d dozens of bags that we saw on celebs, fashion insiders and other notable attendees. Because we’re not Italian, we weren’t able to identify every single person, and neither was our US-based photo agency. Any assistance you can give us on that front would be much-appreciated, as always.
Agnieszka Ptak
Saint Laurent Monogramme Mini Bag
$1,550 via Saks
My favorite thing about the European shows is that we get a little variation from the celebrities we normally cover. Agnieszka runs an Italian fashion site called Silk Drops.
Alessandra Mastronardi
Louis Vuitton Petite Malle Clutch
Alessandra’s an Italian actress and a regular front-row presence at shows in Milan and Paris.
Alexia Niedsielski
Louis Vuitton Matellage Cosmetic Pouch
Alexia, on the other hand, is a Brazilian It Girl.
Anna Cleveland
Prada Galleria Bag
$2,350 via Bergdorf Goodman
Anna’s exquisite bone structure might look familiar because she’s the daughter of trailblazing supermodel Pat Cleveland.
Anna Dello Russo
Dolce & Gabbana Box Bag
$7,995 via Moda Operandi
Of course, it wouldn’t be Milan without a bunch of ADR sightings.
Anna Dello Russo
Fendi 3Baguette Studded Mini Bag
$2,450 via LUISAVIAROMA
ADR is known for changing things up multiple times a day during her Fashion Week appearances, but she carried versions of this little Fendi bags multiple times during MFW.

Chiara Ferragni
Fendi Micro Baguette Bags
$1,550 via Nordstrom
Just like ADR, it wouldn’t be Milan without Chiara and her many outfits.
Chiara Ferragni
Hermès Kelly Bag
I believe Chiara has replaced the strap on her vintage Kelly with one of the forthcoming separate-strap options from Fendi.
Chiara Ferragni
Louis Vuitton Petite Malle Clutch
Louis Vuitton outfitted a veritable army of fashion people with these clutches for MFW.
Clara Paget
Fendi Micro Peekaboo Bag

Clara is best known as a British actress, but she definitely has the bone structure of a model.
Dakota Johnson
Gucci Padlock GG Supreme Shoulder Bag
$1,590 via Gucci
Not many American celebs got the flown-to-Milan treatment this season, but Dakota Johnson graced the front row at Gucci.
Debbie Harry
Coach Swagger Bag

I’m not 100% sure why Debbie Harry was there, but I’m happy she was.

$350 via Coach
If you’re not familiar with Esther, she’s the fashion director of a group of Middle Eastern publications.

It will likely not come as a surprise to you that Fiammetta is an Italian actress.
Gilda Ambrosio

No relation to Alessandra.
Giovanna Battaglia
Sara Battaglia Lips Bag

Giovanna Battaglia
Sara Battaglia Teresa Studded Mini Bag
$344 via yoox.com
Always nice to see family supporting family.
Gucci Dionysus GG Supreme Embroidered Shoulder Bag

Helena Bordon
Fendi Studded Peekaboo Bag
$3,650 via Barneys

We’re betting Hyun also walked in Coach’s NYFW show.

Miriam is an Italian TV personality, and this look is particularly lovely.
Moschino Mini Biker Jacket Bag
$1,265 via Saks
This woman is another among the unidentified, but her look was bright and cheerful enough to get her into our roundup.

I aspire to someday have security hold my umbrella for me.

Prada doesn’t go for ingenues; instead, Valeria is an accomplished actress and director.
Yumi Lambert
Alexander Wang Rocco Bag
$975 via Shopbop
An appropriately modelesque moment to end on, I think.
I would like to send a personal thank you to Anna Dello Russo for making my day. She is 2 1/2 years older than me and those pics make me feel better about my aging self. She is looking worn….slide #9, starting to take on a Donatella look.
Salma Hayek has access to the best clothes/designers and girl can’t put together an outfit….ever….or rarely.
I love Selena Gomez and she is adorable. She has one of those faces that will look perennially young no matter how you try to dress it up.
That’s my boost my own self-esteem, holier than thou rant for the day. I feel better.
Anna Della Russo should hang up the skin exposing mini’s. Stay out of the Sun from now on!
OMG after reading your comment, I looked up ADR’s age. She is merely 9 months older than me, but she looks ancient. I guess she enjoyed the sun in the French Riviera way too much.
That bag in slide 28 seems to be huge.
Wow. I happened to see a lot of small clutches and bags. Think I should get one for me.
–Germz
Where is Olivia Palermo, by the way
The Birkin and Hermes generally is on the way out
Even with a reputation for a certain stylistic flair and eccentricity, Anna Russo looks ridiculous in those clothes. None of it flatters her.
Salma Hayek on the other hand is always impeccably dressed.
i DIE for that python boy bag
SO GOOD right?!
Yes, Anna Del Russo is disturbing to look at. She distracts away from the bags she carries, but in the wrong way. It’s like, how many beautiful and expensive items can we throw on a scarecrow?
Does it make you feel better to write that she looks like a scarecrow? I think she is super cool, I want to look like her when I am her age, no doubt about it!!! She is so stylish! She once said “Always wear nightclothes during the day – it’s unexpected” and that thought is always in my mind everyday when choosing outfits.
ADR is a lot of fun but I don’t think it’s overly mean to suggest that one reaches an age where minis are no longer flattering.
Take good care of your skin and you’ll look and feel even better at her age.
This is something very interesting that is worth paying your extreme attention ,a very good chance to work for those people who want to use their free time so that they can make some extra money using their computers… I have been working on this for last two and half years and I am earning 60-90 dollar/ hour … In the past week I have earned 13,70 dollars for almost 20 hours sitting ….
Any special qualification, degree or skills is not necessary for this, just keyboard typing and a good working and reliable internet connection ….
Not any Time limitations to start work … You may do this work at any time when you willing to do it ….
Just know how I have been doing this…..….see this (webiste-Iink) on my !profile!` to know how I am working` on this`

37. petit malle Na Young Keem!!
Can we make it a TPB rule that bringing someone’s appearance into things isn’t allowed? You all sound like middle school girls, making fun of people you don’t know for their appearance.
Anyway, ADR slays my entirety. Love her as well as Chiara.
This is something we try to abide by on the forum, but it can be hard on PurseBlog comments.
However, I do think people need to be kind! There is s much negativity in this world and we don’t want to add to it 🙂
I agree, I come here to look at and talk about bags, not insult people’s appearances 🙁
I agree. But, in fairness — if someone chooses to wear certain outfits and be photographed as a career, then I think they open themselves to comments about their appearance. It’s not as though she was caught off-guard going to the grocery store.
ADR grew on me! Love her style and love that she updates her instagram several times a day so I can go peek at all the fun, expensive stuff that I can’t afford – yet.
These bags are all really beautiful. It is a much more elegant collection than that of New York fashion week. I’m getting ready to make my next investment and I can’t decide between a Louis Vuitton satchel (monogram or damier) or a Prada tote (in red). I would love advice. Thx.
Both are great options! I really love my Louis Vuitton bags because as Yuri said above, they hold up incredibly well. But I have a soft spot for Prada too.
Keep in mind the LV will hold up better because of the coated canvas!
Thanks Meg’s. LV does hold up well. My Mum bought one at college graduation and I had it for over 20 years.
I like the way the Prada tote looks better but I can tell you that LV has way better quality than Prada…I’ve only owned my Prada Saffiano Executive Tote for less than a year, it is already showing clear wear at the corners and the stitching is inconsistent and uneven. If I could choose again I would go for the lower price alternatives; I was expecting way better quality for the price. My LV Alma BB however has held up very well over the past three years I’ve had it, very well-made!
Turin- thank you for the feedback. It was very helpful. I am leaning toward LV Yuri- Thank you for the feedback. It was very helpful. I am leaning towards the LV for the exact reasons you mentioned.
Esther Quek (first time seeing her) and Helena Bordon are absolutely gorgeous in these slides!!!
Go Lala go !!! And Rock on ADR!
No, doesn’t make me feel better. Just saying the truth. You really want to look like slide nine when your her age? Wow…
I go on here because I love bags. People comment. Just like you are commenting on a comment and being judgemental. Get off your high horse and pull your head out. She looks like a seventy year old. Ridiculous.
Scarecrow was putting it mildly. I’ve got less creepy Halloween decorations up.
Now what??
It seems odd that anyone would pick Hermes Birkin or Kelly bags for this blog…. those are die hard classics and not sure deserving of a spot highlighting the purses carried in the 2016 fashion shows…. I would have preferred to see new bags that have not been seen quite as much. Granted they are beautiful bags…. but both of those bags look like they have been around the block a few times…….
Looking at all these people and their astronomically-priced bags, I cannot help but think, that if they look good already, they probably will look good without those bags, and if they don’t look that great, an expensive bag will not do anything to salvage their appearance.
Too many comments to see if this has been mentioned. But Anna’s leg in slide 6. It’s like it’s a snake shedding its skin. Creepy! Too much italian sun dear.
The woman on the 37th slide is Na Young Kim, a Korean TV personality 🙂
