The 20 Best Handbags of the 2016 Met Gala Red Carpet

By and large, the looks at Monday night’s tech-themed 2016 Met Gala were a little bit boring (the world has now been emptied of silver sequins and beads because they were all on the Upper East Side last night), but there was one very bright spot (for us, anyway): tons of celebrities carried interesting clutches.

Formal red carpets often involve stars handing off their bags to publicists before being photographed or hanging on to boring little box clutches, but last night’s picks included some solid choices, from Karlie Kloss’s light-up evening bag to Allison Williams’s customized Edie Parker. For all that and more, check out the bags from the carpet, below.

I love how Mindy Kaling’s clutch matches the print on Freida Pinto’s dress!

I love Poppy’s look, she is flawless!! Claire Danes in that Zac Posen dress was everything though!!!

is that not a Tiffany bean Margot Robbie is carrying? (her cuffs are definitely Tiffany…)

I think its a bean shaped clutch by Emilio Pucci. Seen that one somewhere before.

Graham

agreed

We removed the Calvin Klein ID and reached out to Tiffany to see; their original dressing release about Margot’s jewelry didn’t include mention of the clutch.

Reply to Amanda Mull

Margot is wearing the Elsa Peretti Bean purse.

It looks like a sunglass case.

Amanda, are you sure Margot Robbie’s clutch isn’t an Elsa Peretti Bean clutch? Her cuffs are Elsa Peretti, and that clutch really looks like the Bean to me.

Reply to Graef Allen

Yes!you are absolutely right!

Underwhelmed by the clutches and most of the clothes, but was enchanted by Claire Danes dress that fit the theme perfectly.

It’s gorgeous ! Thanks for sharing !

Yeah. Why are they all wearing the same heel boots? Are those boots from LV? Well, it looks pretty awful. At least to me.LV or not.

Convinced no one owns a full length mirror.

I like Uma Thurman’s dress, but it’s the only one.
