The Best Celebrity Bag Looks of Paris Fashion Week Fall 2018

Louis Vuitton, Dior and Valentino all brought out impressive star power to their Paris shows

Another Paris Fashion Week has drawn to a close, and I feel justified in saying it was kind of an odd one. Céline didn’t show because of its designer transition, and unusually cold and rainy weather put an occasional damper on some of the fun outside the shows. Celebrities still came out in droves to see the collections and be seen by photographers, though, so we dutifully sorted through the photos to find the best of what they carried to the main events. Check out our findings below.

Adele Exarchopolous

Adele is a French actress and a longtime Louis Vuitton fave, even before Nicolas Ghesquiere took over the brand. She was one of the many celebs Louis Vuitton outfitted with its new Louis Vuitton Petite Boite Chapeau Bag, meant to look like a mini hat box.

Emma Stone

Emma Stone usually isn’t the fashion show type, but it looks as though Louis Vuitton flew her straight to Paris from her role presenting at the Oscars. She was carrying the Petite Malle Shoulder Bag, a style that isn’t yet out.

This much pink maybe shouldn’t work, but the incredibly elegant cut of the coat and the python texture of the Valentino Bow Top Handle make it work. Shop Valentino Bags via Neiman Marcus
