Almost, but not quite. It was a busy weekend for celebs, what with Wimbledon, extremely high-profile weddings and a mass celeb exodus from Paris Couture Week. All that celeb news, combined with numerous celeb cheating/divorce rumors that we’re too classy to mention here will indubitably make for some premium tabloid reading tomorrow. But I refuse to be distracted from my core mission: bringing you the best celebrity handbag picks on a bi-weekly basis.
Chrissy Teigen
The Row Classic 5 Satchel
$5,500 via Saks
Here’s Chrissy Teigen, who is quickly becoming our go-to celeb for premium bi-weekly bag choices, arriving at LAX after making an appearance at Paris Couture Week. She’s carrying a black leather The Row Classic Tote with wooden top handles. It’s odd when a bag from The Row isn’t the most expensive bag featured in one of these roundups, but this one certainly isn’t.
Gabrielle Union
Prada Top Handle Briefcase
Shop Prada via Bergdorf Goodman
Gabrielle Union was recently spotted out and about in NYC in a double denim look that she polished off with a most attractive Prada briefcase. We actually saw Gabrielle carrying this same bag last week, which is not especially shocking, because celebrities have shown a lot of love to the Prada Briefcase this summer. In fact, we dubbed it one of The Prada Bags Celebs Are Loving. (Spoiler: celebs are loving this briefcase and a Prada Shoulder Bag which is very similar to this briefcase.)
Kylie Jenner
Hermès Birkin
Here’s Kylie Jenner, leaving dinner at Craig’s with a smaller 30cm red Birkin. I have no maternal instincts to speak of, but I really do worry about little Kylie Jenner. She’s still just 17, but she dresses/dates/lives/looks/tabloids like she’s 25 or even 30 at times. Yes, I am using “tabloid” as a verb, and I think it’s pretty appropriate.
Nicky Hilton
Christian Dior Lady Dior Bag
Nicky Hilton and her longtime boyfriend James Rothschild wed in London over the weekend, but a few days beforehand, she enjoyed some ladies-only pre-wedding festivities at Harry’s Bar with her sister Paris and mother Kathy. She’s carrying a dainty white Lady Dior that seems appropriately bridal and pairs perfectly with her lovely embellished lace dress from Giambattista Valli.
Nicole Trunfio
Valentino Rockstud Crossbody Bag
$1,495 via Nordstrom
Here’s Aussie model Nicole Trunfio, looking fairly disgusted with the paps in NYC. A Rockstud Valentino bag has become an essential part of a the professional model’s arsenal, just like sparkling spring water.
Rihanna
Giorgio Armani Le Sac 11 Handbag
$1,918 via farfetch.com
People had no problem spotting Rihanna at JFK, even though she obviously attempted to disguise herself in this oversized military jumpsuit. Celebs tend to carry Armani bags pretty sparingly, and although Armani isn’t really thought of as a handbag designer, we loved several of the runway offerings from his Fall 2015 collection.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley
Christian Dior Diorama Bag
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley made an appearance at the Dior show at Paris Couture Week last week and then reappeared at LAX carrying an embroidered Dior Diorama. It’s an unusual choice for Rosie, who tends to prefer large Saint Laurent Sacs du Jour and Balenciaga totes. Are those tiny roses on her jacket? I swear Rosie’s style has gotten exponentially more “traditionally English” in recent weeks.
Sienna Miller
Alexander McQueen Legend Bag
$2,195 via Saks
Lastly, here’s Sienna Miller, dressed to the nines at Wimbledon and carrying an Alexander McQueen Legend Bag that she’s owned and loved since April (at least). It’s holding up quite well.
I love it. Let’s make “tabloid” a verb.
I feel for Kylie as she’s been in the spotlight since she was seven. Poor kid never had a chance.
I love that Valentino bag. Saw a larger version of it at Nordstrom today, and it’s ladylike and edgy all at the same time.
Completely agree with the Kylie comment. Her future looks completely unappealing to me. She has lost out on so many typical experiences for her age that I fear at some point she’ll have some unfinished business and her life will be hella miserable.
I love Chrissy Tiegen’s Row bag with those handles. I am NOT a fan of the McQueen Legend bag. I do not like it at all.
I had to google Kylie Jenner. For someone so young, she’s had so much plastic surgery. It seems she has altered every part of her face and aged herself by about fifteen years.
I should add she has denied having any plastic surgery. It’s all speculation by plastic surgeons and others.
They look just great! I love the Row bag Pearlacce/COM

LOL at Paris posing for the paps even though the camera was clearly focused on her sister. As for Kylie, eh. She doesn’t care, her parents don’t care, her sisters don’t care, I don’t think we should care. If she wants to act grown she has to deal with grown consequences.
I had the same two thoughts. Narcissist thy name is Paris.
And the whole Kardashian / Jenner clan is a well dressed, overexposed, psycho ward mess. Why should the youngest Jenner be any healthier than the crazy, attention seeking, money and fame focused parents? It’s all such a shame.
Out of the lot, my fave would have to be Gabrielle’s look. That’s actually a triple denim outfit if you count the jacket she’s carrying. The tan of the Prada bag just ties the whole thing together to casual perfection.
OMG Rihanna pulls off this look fabulously. Only Rihanna could do it. It would be a dafuq situation on anyone else.
Rihanna looks like a janitor. Gabrielle looks pretty awful as well.
