Another season of fashion shows has come to an end with Paris Fashion Week, and the industry, as always, tends to save the best for last. That’s largely true of the clothes on display on the runways, but it’s definitely true of the clothes–and bags, of course–on the shows’ attendees outside. We trawled through our photo service to find PFW’s most fashionable famous attendees and document their handbag choices. Check out all the season-ending fabulosity below.
Aimee Song
Dior Tarot Bag
Shop Dior via Vestiaire Collective
It’s kind of funny that in, like, 2011, the big magazines were sure the bloggers would be in and out of the fashion limelight in like two seasons.
Aimee Song
Louis Vuitton Petite Malle Bag
$5,500 via Louis Vuitton
Didn’t exactly happen that way, huh?
Alice Dellal
Chanel Backpack
Shop Chanel via Vestiaire Collective
Fun fact: when the Chanel Boy Bag launched, Alice was the face of the campaign.
Anamaria Vartolomei
Chanel Belt Bag
Shop Chanel via Vestiaire Collective
Anamaria is but 17 years old, but this isn’t her first Chanel show.
Audrey Marnay
Chanel Clutch
Shop Chanel via Vestiaire Collective
If I can be candid: if Karl Lagerfeld invited me to be a front row guest at a Chanel show and this is the bag he sent me to carry, I would be a little bummed.
Ayami Nakajo
Chanel Boy Bag
Shop Chanel Boy Bags via Vestiaire Collective
I always learn so much about international actresses during the global fashion weeks; Ayami is Japanese.
Bai Baihe
Chanel Gabrielle Bag
Shop Chanel via Vestiaire Collective
Lagerfeld flew Bai, also an actress, in from China for the event.
Bella Hadid
Dior Diorama Bag
Shop Dior via Vestiaire Collective
As you can imagine, Bella was all over Paris, generally carrying the bags of her primary sponsor, Dior.
Bella Hadid
Dior Diorever Clutch
Shop Dior via Vestiaire Collective
She was also oddly committed to these weird sunglasses.
Caro Dour
Dior Diorama Club Bag
Shop Dior via Vestiaire Collective
If I’m being honest, I was not aware of Caro at all before the Paris Couture shows, but it seems like her star is rising very quickly. (Also, as you might have guessed, I don’t follow style bloggers super closely.)
Carolyn Murphy
Miu Miu Lilium Bag
$1,420 via Nordstrom
There are not a lot of faces as mathematically perfect as Carolyn’s.
Charlotte Le Bon
Miu Miu Club Bag
$2,100 via Nordstrom
I looked into it and: no, not that Le Bon.
Chiara Ferragni
Dior Clutch
Shop Dior via Vestiaire Collective
Chiara has, uh, freed the nipple!
Chiara Ferragni
Miu Miu Cristal Bag
$1,660 via Saks
Now, for a more traditional look.
Chloé Nile Bag
$1,690 via mytheresa.com
I’m not sure of the name of this Chloé show guest, which is too bad, since I’m the person in charge of knowing stuff.
Chloé Faye Backpack
$1,990 via Saks
On this one, I’m also batting a solid .500.
Cindy Bruna
Chanel Classic Flap Bag
Shop Chanel via Vestiaire Collective
Ahh finally back to fully understanding.
Clemence Poesy
Chloé Nile Bag
$1,690 via mytheresa.com
I’m sure Clemence has done more notable things than get her own narrative arc on Gossip Girl, but that’s who she’ll always be in my mind.
Clotilde Hesme
Chanel Boy Bag
Shop Chanel Boy Bags via Vestiaire Collective
Don’t let me shock you here, but: French actress.
Dior Clutch
Shop Dior via Vestiaire Collective
The Dior fencing jacket rides again.
Elena Perminova
Louis Vuitton Petite Malle Bag
$8,850 via Louis Vuitton
There’s some impressive cheek-bonery happening here.
Elena Perminova
Miu Miu Club Bag
$2,100 via Nordstrom
Definitive proof that even the most aesthetically gifted among us can get caught making a weird face when cameras are around.
Elena Perminova
Prada Micro Galleria Tote
$1,290 via Neiman Marcus
Elena’s showing an impressive willingness to get rained on here.
Elena Perminova

If you know who makes Emily’s little jeweled clutch, please do tell.
Emily Ratajkowski
Valentino Lock Back
Shop Valentino via Neiman Marcus
This bag, on the other hand, is no mystery.
Emma Roberts
Chloé Nile Bag
$1,690 via mytheresa.com
As we noted earlier in the week, Emma is back to being a redhead.
Helena Bordon
Miu Miu Saddle Bag
Shop Miu Miu via Saks
Helena, on the other hand, has kept her beauty look virtually unchanged since she gained prominence.
Helena Bordon
Valentino Lock Bag
$2,971 via L’Inde Le Palais
I’m glad Valentino is sticking with the Lock Bag–it’s always been my favorite of the brand’s.
Houda Benyamina
Chloé Faye Bag
$1,390 via Net-a-Porter
You might not be familiar with Houda, but she’s an award-winning French director.
Irene Kim
Chloé Faye Backpack
$1,990 via Saks
Chloé really pulled out all the guest-list stops for Clare Waight Keller’s last show with the brand.
Jaden Smith
Louis Vuitton District PM Bag
$1,280 via Louis Vuitton
Jaden Smith is from the future and he’s cooler than I’ll ever be.
Jenna Coleman
Miu Miu Miulady Bag
$2,100 via Nordstrom
I absolutely loved the hyper-jeweled buckles Miu Miu’s been doing lately; it’s like the brand finally figured out how to translate what people liked about its shoes to bags.
Jennifer Connelly
Louis Vuitton Petite Malle Bag
$6,050 via Louis Vuitton
It seems as though this exact Petite Malle is not available yet.
Karlie Kloss
Dior Diorama Bag
Shop Dior via Vestiaire Collective
It seems as though the arrival of Maria Grazia Chiuri at Dior has drawn Karlie away from Louis Vuitton.
Katheryn Winnick
Valentino Lock Bag

Kendall Jenner
Gucci Marmont Mini Bag
$980 via Gucci
When you’re already wealthy outside of fashion, you can carry whatever you want because you don’t really have to worry about pleasing designers.

Hair on one side, coat on the other. Sure.
Lily Allen
Chanel Gabrielle Bag
Shop Chanel via Vestiaire Collective
Once Karl decides he rides with you, you’re in forever.
Lottie Moss
Chanel Flap Bag
Shop Chanel via Vestiaire Collective
Lottie is very pretty, but I just don’t find her memorable in the same way as big sis Kate.
Ludivine Sagnier
Chanel Boy Bag
Shop Chanel Boy Bags via Vestiaire Collective
I looked up some photos of Ludivine and this eyebrow thing seems to be her signature move.
Marie Ange Casta
Chanel Flap Bag
Shop Chanel via Vestiaire Collective
I feel like I’ve seen Marie at Chanel shows since the beginning of time, but she’s only 26.
Marjorie Harvey
Hermès Alligator Kelly Bag
We didn’t see as much of Marjorie as we have during previous Paris Fashion Weeks, but when she did pop up, she didn’t disappoint when it comes to bags.
Marjorie Harvey
Hermès Birkin
Of course, she never does.
Matilde Gioli
Valentino Rockstud Shoulder Bag
$1,895 via Neiman Marcus
This exact Rockstud variation is a bit underrated, if you ask me.
Melusine Ruspoli
Chanel Boy Bag
Shop Chanel Boy Bags via Vestiaire Collective
Melusine is an actual Italian princess.
Michelle Williams
Louis Vuitton Petite Malle Clutch
$6,050 via Louis Vuitton
Pictures of Michelle always make we want a pixie cut for a split second.

Mira carried this bag everywhere this week.

I mean everywhere.

Rihanna almost has me convinced I really like this bag.
Riley Keough
Louis Vuitton Twist Bag
$3,550 via Louis Vuitton
It’s always a good time in fashion to be the attractive, blonde progeny of famous parents.
Rita Ora
Chanel Boy Bag
Shop Chanel Boy Bags via Vestiaire Collective
Karl Lagerfeld is startlingly committed to making Rita Ora happen.
Sophie Turner
Louis Vuitton Petite Malle Bag
$6,050 via Louis Vuitton
Sophie is, somewhat surprisingly, really pulling off those white patent go-go boots.
Sveva Alviti
Valentino My Rockstud Bag
$2,545 via mytheresa.com
Sveva is an Italian actress and model, but most of her Internet presence is in Italian, so that’s about all I can tell you.
Winnie Harlow
Dior Crossbody Bag
Shop Dior via Vestiaire Collective
That’s a big ol’ strap for a tiny little bag.
Zoey Deutsch
Miu Miu Cristal Bag
$2,030 via Saks
Suddenly I am in want of a very fuzzy bag.
Bella Hadid is so committed to looking dour at literally all times. It’s weird imagining what it must be like to hang out with her. I mean, is it all “hey, Bella! Want to grab coffee?” “Only if it’s black… like the void where my soul is” all the time with her? I feel like if you asked Karlie Kloss that question you’d at least get a straight yes or no.
Jenna Coleman looks adorable and her bag is such a sweet compliment to her outfit. I am also surprisingly really feeling the fuzzy bag in the last slide. It’s such a weather dependent look though — it seems so appropriate when it’s overcast and gray. But I live in the desert, so not so sure how well that would translate to 100 degrees and sweaty. :/
Honestly, I think that’s just her face. Many times people will ask me what I’m mad about, and I realized that I’ve got resting bitch face
She’s also committed to choker necklaces. The 90s called and they want their choker back
Right? I think it would irk me less if she went FULL 90s — I’ll take the choker if she also pulls out the Reebok Pumps, frosted tips, and Senor Frog shirts. Otherwise it just seems half done.
Plus it pains me that she was probably born after all of those things were popular.
Is that a Dior fencing outfit in slide 20?
I realize when I looked at this thread that I live in a US-centric bubble. Who are most of these people?
#16 is Yuyu Zhangzhou, a Chinese-parisian fashion blogger.
The bag that Audrey Marnay is carrying is a version of the millennium bag that Chanel made specially for 2000. It was a limited edition. I have it in all black.
Some gorgeous bags on some equally gorgeous and stylish women (minus Bella Ha-douche and Jaden Super douche)
#15 Kozue Akimoto, who is a Japanese model and the daughter of legendary sumo wrestler Chiyonofuji
Your commentary on each photo is the best. You must have so much fun googling all these people.
That bag in #5 and your caption is the funniest. It looks like a neoprene lunch bag you take to work.
Emily Ratajkowski’s clutch is from Tory Burch’s latest collection and it’s ?
Lily Allen can do no wrong. I want to be Karl’s bestie!
#25 is Tory Burch.
Wow a lot of poorly dressed women with the exception of a few. Absolutely atrocious outfits for the most part.
I love the Chanel Boy with the handle in slide 41 and smitten with almost all the Valentino but really disappointed by the Dior bags. Your commentary is always the best part though!!
Boy, am I behind the trend! The teeny tiny handbags are en masse and I, for one, will not be carrying anything so impractical. I need a wee bit more room for a phone, lipstick and a small wallet at the very least. On the positive side, I am lusting after that Nina bag!
1. The term “influencer” is such a pretentious stupid word
2. I don’t get temperature-inappropriate outfits no matter how stylish. You can see the weather is not particularly warm from the way people are dressed in the background. If you are freezing your behind off for the sake of fashion, you just look a desperate fashion victim. For that matter, I love the sensibly dressed celebs.
3. How is Steve Harvey not filing for bankruptsy, with his wife’s spending?
4. Riley Keough has the most perfect face known to mankind.
5. A scarf as a shoulder strap idea, to me, is not fly at all.
#3 – I say the same thing…LOL
But I guess that’s why he’s on the radio and 2-3 TV shows!
Number 15 is Japanese supermodel, Kozue Akimoto, I guess.
I was literally LOL’ing with the commentary, thank you for that!! I love and look forward to these FW round-up’s, my favorites!!!!
I think Clemency better known role was Fleur Delacour in the HP series
Your commentary = tasteLESS
