When I sat down to compile the photos for this post, I didn’t know that it was going to be about Chanel. As I started looking through our photo agency’s recent archives, though, it became clear that it had to be; no other brand exerts the kind of dominance among high-profile women’s handbag collections that Chanel does.
Not only is are the brand’s bags omnipresent, but they appear on the arms of basically every kind of celebrity there is. Reality stars, celebrated actresses, pop queens, former child stars, fashion editors and high-profile bloggers. No one’s immune, apparently. We already compiled 100 images of stars and their favorite Chanel bags, and in the time since then, we easily found another 50. Check them out below.
Bella Thorne
Chanel Classic Flap Bag
Bella is not yet old enough to vote, but she’s already starting to amass an impressive Chanel collection.
Brooke Shields
Chanel Shoulder Bag
Brooke, on the other hand, has had ample time to scoop up Chanel bags, what with the decades of fame under her belt.
Gwyneth Paltrow
Chanel Frame Satchel
If I were Gwyneth, I wouldn’t mind being photographed with this rather large, rather pretty Chanel bag at all.
Jennifer Garner
Chanel Wallet on Chain Bag
I would like to give Jennifer Garner a hug right now. Just, like, in general.
Joan Collins
Chanel Grand Shopping Tote
Joan dines out at Craig’s a lot, and when she does it, she’s always carrying Chanel.
Lucy Hale
Chanel Quilted Flap Bag
I love the classics, but I always get excited to see someone has picked up a seasonal Chanel.
Nicki Minaj
Chanel Boy Bag
Nicki loves Chanel so much that she even raps “These Chanel bags are a bad habit,” on her most recent album, The Pinkprint.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley
Chanel Boy Bag
Rosie can be much more commonly found carrying Givenchy or Saint Laurent, so spotting her with this gilded little Boy Bag was a treat.
Taraji P. Henson
Chanel Boy Bag
Taraji’s hit show Empire has put the paparazzi on her tail more often in the past year, and that means we get more frequent peeks at her seemingly huge Chanel collection.
Taraji P. Henson
Chanel Reissue Flap Bag
She really, really loves them.
Eva Longoria
Chanel Logo Tote
This bag very well may be vintage; Eva’s a perennial Chanel fan and we had plenty pics of her to choose from. (As you’ll see later.)
Miley Cyrus
Chanel Vintage XL Shopping Tote
This bag is definitely vintage, but that pup looks brand new.
Giovanna Battaglia
Chanel Boy Bag
In this photo, Giovanna was at a Chanel party; the brand always makes sure to arm its event attendees with great bags.
Goldie Hawn
Chanel Paris-Edimbourg Quilted Tote
Goldie loves her Chanel, and so does daughter Kate Hudson–you’ll see her a little later.
Kim Kardashian
Chanel No. 5 Perfume Bottle Clutch
Kim has narrowed her bag usage a great deal in recent years, but we can’t blame her for picking up one of these limited-release clutches.
Chrissy Teigen
Chanel Vintage Maxi Flap Bag
We’d have put a closer crop on this photo to get a better look at the bag, but we couldn’t bear to crop the lil Frenchie out.
Dakota Fanning
Chanel Mini Flap Bag
Carrying a mini crossbody, a tote and an iced coffee is a very New York look.
Kate Hudson
Chanel Reissue Camera Bag
We promised you Kate Hudson, and now we’ve delivered.
Rachel Zoe
Chanel Vintage XL Shopping Tote
These giant Chanel shoppers are very popular among vintage lovers and celebs alike. Rachel, of course, is both.
Alexa Chung
Chanel Pearl-Logo Clutch
Alexa has a way of incorporating a logo item into her wardrobe here and there to remind us that everything she wears is very expensive, and a Chanel clutch works perfectly in that role.
Chanel Iman
Chanel Graffiti Backpack
Chanel carrying Chanel. Perfect.
Jennifer Lopez
Chanel Paris-Edimbourg Top Handle Flap Bag
The level of navy-matching in this photo is elite.
Keira Knightley
Chanel Mini Crossbody Bag
Keira may have, uh, had a few drinks before leaving the establishment behind her.
Rachel Bilson
Chanel Modern Chain Shoulder Tote
Rachel’s a longtime Chanel fan; this bag is from circa 2006, but this photo was taken this year.
Rachel Zoe
Chanel Straw Flap Bag
Can you even imagine how many seasonal and vintage Chanel bags Rachel must have in her archives?
Nicky Hilton
Chanel Boy Brick Clutch
This clutch sells for nearly ten grand and makes a cute little day bag, too.
Miley Cyrus
Chanel Quilted Backpack
Please ignore what’s going on circa Miley’s head and focus on her bag.
Leann Rimes
Chanel Paris-Dallas Quilted Shoulder Bag
A very appropriate pick for a country singer.
Diane Kruger
Chanel Patent Mini Crossbody Bag
Diane is one of Karl Lagerfeld’s personal favorites, so of course she carries the brand to the gym.
Zoe Kravitz
Chanel Bucket Bag
Grungy clothes/designer bag is a very popular combo for young, affluent Brooklyn residents, which describes Zoe perfectly.
Gigi Hadid
Chanel Wallet on Chain Bag
Gigi is part of a new crop of models with famous parentage, and for girls like her, a Chanel bag is practically a prerequisite.
Daisy Lowe
Chanel Reissue Flap Bag
I’m not sure what’s going on here, honestly. It’s got a Reissue chain and closure, but it appears as though the flap is embossed croc and the body is python? I’ve never seen another bag exactly like this before.
Kyle Richards
Chanel Patent Maxi Flap Bag
Fact: reality stars love Chanel bags.
Zoe Saldana
Chanel Classic Flap Bag
Well, they’re popular among pretty much everyone, honestly.
Eva Longoria
Chanel Wallet on Chain Bag
Especially among Eva Longorias.
Suki Waterhouse
Chanel Plexiglass Jerrycan Minaudiere
A thing I appreciate about British celebrities: they’re far more willing than their American counterparts to roll out of a club three sheets to the wind and get their photo taken.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Chanel Logo Belt Bag
This is, somehow, not the only Chanel fanny pack you’re going to see before the end of this post.
Sofia Vergara
Chanel Rigid Handle Flap Satchel
We’ve seen a lot of tiny Chanel crossbodies and clutches so far, but Sofia likes her Chanel bags large and plentiful.
Sofia Vergara
Chanel Chevron Quilted Tote
Exhibit B.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Chanel Quilted Shoulder Bag
SJP brought this bag with her to the Fall 2014 New York City Ballet Gala and then handed it off to an assistant while she walked the red carpet in a much more formal ensemble.
Chiara Ferragni
Chanel Shearling Patchwork Flap Bag
Chanel’s more avant-garde designs are a favorite among the Internet’s self-made fashion stars.
Kris Jenner
Chanel No. 5 Perfume Bottle Clutch
Kris looks totally great in this photo and this outfit and I’m not mad at her for it.
Anna Dello Russo
Chanel Supermarket Basket
I’m not entirely sure I have anything to say that this photo doesn’t already easily demonstrate.
Rachel Bilston
Chanel Shoulder Bag
Another of Rachel’s finds from her extensive Chanel collection, dating back years.
Fergie
Chanel Quilted Fanny Pack
The second, and final, Chanel fanny pack of the day.
Gigi Hadid
Chanel Boy Brick Clutch
Karl Lagerfeld tends to pick his girls and stay with them, and there’s some indication that he’s about to promote Gigi into his model harem for good.
Lily Allen
Chanel Meat Package Flap Bag
Lily is a great example of a seemingly permanent member of the Chanel family.
Beyoncé
Chanel Boy Bag
Queen Bey often doesn’t carry a bag, so her approval of this version of the Boy feels significant.
Hilary Duff
Chanel Boy Bag
Hilary, on the other hand, has at least three Boy Bags that I can think of off the top of my head; she’s a longtime fan.
Julia Restoin Roitfeld
Chanel Canvas Logo Tote
A lot of fashion people consider the Roitfeld’s the ne plus ultra of chic, so anything they carry is worth noting.
Nicky Hilton
Chanel Classic Flap Bag
Nicky, like Hilary Duff, is another celeb whose love for Chanel bags clearly goes beyond the brand’s trendiness.
Rihanna
Chanel Shearling Patchwork Flap Bag
Rihanna, on the other hand, is here to carry anything eye-catching and fun, no matter the brand.
Paris Hilton
Chanel Flap Clutch
Paris is almost always carrying a Chanel bag, but she doesn’t have nearly the variety that her sister does. Instead, she sticks to the basics.
Cat Deeley
Chanel Straw Camellia Flap Bag
If there were ever a bag begging to be taken to a garden party, it’s this one.
Kim Zolciak
Chanel Perforated Shoulder Tote
Never try to separate a Bravolebrity from her Chanel bags.
Bethenny Frankel
Chanel Classic Flap Bag
It’s important to have a Chanel bag for all occasions, and that includes one to match your Halloween mask.
Khloé Kardashian
Chanel Quilted Makeup Pouch
Lately, all the Kardashian’s have been taking a page from Kim’s book and going a little lighter and simpler on the bags.
Myleene Klass
Chanel Classic Flap Bag
You might not be familiar with Myleene, but here’s what you need to know: she’s British and really likes Chanel bags.
Kris Jenner
Chanel Classic Flap Bag
Only someone with a chauffeur, an army of assistants and a security detail could keep a bag this white.
Hilary Duff
Chanel Classic Flap Bag
If I could have any Chanel flap, it would be an all-black-everything version like this one.
I honestly think the classic flap bag is more of a holy grail than the birkin 🙂
something about that CC! their bags are just so practical and elegant.
My dear Amanda I would like to give you a few notes;
the bag that Daisy Lowe is carrying is a Piece d’Exception from the spring summer 2009 collection that appeared in the french version of chanel.com under the tittle “Association de phyton et d’alligator pour un sac à rabat original et raffiné” that is association of python and alligator to produce an original and refined flap bag, those two bags that you say are straw are actually tweed or the utterly glorified version of burlap made by my beloved brand for spring 2010.
Also, did you notice that in pic 49 Krys is leaving a Chanel boutique?
And why would SJP would carry a such a big tote to a red carpet?
Nice! Good info.
Why don’t you start your own blog instead of hijacking someone else’s? Just curious.
Do you think my comments are enough to start a new blog? because I honestly don’t. I’m really sorry if it looks like am trying to hijack the blog with my long comments but i would never try to do that, I know is not easy to gather all the info that goes into this blog and that some info might slip off when writing a post, if i do this is only to fill in those occasional blanks so everyone might learn although I do admit my comments my be read as rude. Anyway thanks for asking almost 9 months later
I am a fan of Chanel…
No question, they sure are popular. But, what you see dangling from arms and shoulders depends upon where you live. In San Francisco, it seems like all the well dressed women carry Louis Vuitton right now. In downtown last week I saw one woman carrying Chanel but overwhelmingly saw LV’s in all different styles with Damien Ebene being the most popular.
I see the same thing in Washington DC….I would say 10 LVs to 1 Chanel. Not sure why. It might be due to the fact that LV bags hold a lot more stuff. I prefer Chanel.
I read an article that about how in the west coast its Louis Vuitton and on the east coast Chanel is the favorite.
thats why the east coast is far more classier…..
oooohhh that burn hahaha
I agree! I love the black on black bag the best! I think it’s great that all of these celebrities bags are so individual to their styles and personalities!
Outstanding post, i really love you, i cant this post for ever un my life. very stylish hand Bags designs and Hand Bags Styles .thanks for share this
Side note: Slide 26, is actually Poppy Delevingne carrying the Jerrycan with Suki Waterhouse in the background. Cannot stop laughing at her facial expression in the photo!
How cheap is to mention about anyone’s matter of having some drinks in his lasure time, or whenever he feels like…that’s so little..
Let’s be bigger then this kind of comment…
O cordão dos puxa sacos…despersonalizados e subjugados
OH MY GOD I saw the same bad in the last picture at http://neatstacks.com. I was going to buy but they were so cheap I thought they might be fake.
Les sports nautiques et la pêche sont les principales attractions.lancel bb prix il a pris la forme de sac masculin
Slide 42, Rihana Chanel isn’t flap but it’s a clutch. No chain strap. I have the exact same one.
Just purchased my first classic flap bag so excited ! I got the black jumbo caviar. Athough it is beautiful, it is so heavy . I hope I don’t end up regretting this. It was a ridiculous amout of $$.Does anyone else feel this way about the jumbo size
Great posts but i agree with a few comments
on suki waterhouse is actually poppy delevinge! Bad eye shot though.
I think it’s hilarious to see celebrities carrying the meat packing and supermarket basket bags. I know they get these as freebies. No one in their right mind would purchase such bags. I would imagine Karl laughs when he sees them just like the rest of us.
The Chanel supermarket basket photo with the all pink ensemble is hysterical. What an idiot! ????
Slide 5, it is Jackie Collins, Joan’s sister:)
That straw bag of Racel Zoe’s is my HG. I’ve been trying to find it for years. So far… 🙁
i love Chanel Classic Flap Bag
i love printed stuff. more beautiful.
http://www.stylishster.com/how-to-wear-a-pleated-skirt-2016-to-work/
here you can find it
That’s not joan collins, it’s her sister Jackie.
The Chanel Canvas logo tote is called the Deauville in case anyone is looking for one.
Zoe Saldana Chanel Classic Flap Bag Looks so fake and also the last photo 😝
I have the all black classic flap… I bought it really as an investment piece since it was limited edition. 🙂
Lucky! I bet its gorgeous! I love it when Chanel does something different with their hardware.
