This week, Christian Dior launched a brand new handbag in London, and a choice selection of British celebs (and their favorite Dior bags) turned out to welcome the Dior Diorama into the world. Back across the pond, the usual paparazzi-friendly celebs did their daily grind in NYC and LA, albeit with some highly unusual bag selections. (And yes, there’s a double dose of Taylor Swift this week. We promise it is absolutely warranted.)
Amber Atherton
Christian Dior Lady Dior Bag
Here’s UK reality star Amber Atherton, former star of the series Made In Chelsea, attending the London launch of the Christian Dior Diorama Bag at the Mayfield Christian Dior boutique. Amber brought her own black patent leather Lady Dior to the event.
Anna Kendrick
Lanvin Sugar Shoulder Bag
$2,190 via Net-a-Porter
Anna Kendrick was spotted at LAX (probably flying in for Oscar shenanigans) with an oversized black Lanvin. I think the Sugar would be more popular if it didn’t retail for over $2K. Although it’s attractive, there are a great deal of other options at that price.
Daisy Lowe
Christian Dior Diorama Bag
English model/general “it” girl Daisy Lowe also attended the Diorama launch, and in a clear attempt to outdo everyone, she carried a Diorama to its own launch party. I’ve combed through the party pics, and singer/songwriter/general “it” girl Pixie Lott was the only other attendee to do the same. I guess we know which UK celebs Dior likes best.
Hilary Duff
Givenchy Antigona Bambi Tote
$1,099 via MATCHESFASHION.COM
Hilary Duff was spotted leaving Nine Zero Salon in LA with an iconic Givenchy Antigona Bambi Tote in tow. Sadly, Hilary seems to have lost the Groucho Marx nose and mustache that clearly go with those glasses.
Kesha
Disclaimer: We have no idea who makes this terrifying/awe-inspiring thing, but obviously Kesha thought it was worth bringing to our attention, and we agree. If you feel the need to ward off evil spirits at the office, this handbag should get the message across. Now, let’s talk about those overalls…
Taraji P. Henson
Chanel Quilted Satchel
Here’s Taraji P. Henson, riding in to the NBC studios in NYC on a massive wave of success. She’s carrying Chanel, as one tends to do when they have clearly been favored by the gods of fame. (Disclaimer No.2: We’re 99% sure the bag’s Chanel, but we can’t see the logo to confirm.)
Taylor Swift
M2Malletier Fabricca Clutch
$1,290 via Net-a-Porter
T-Swift was recently spotted heading out to dinner in NYC with a teensy, tiny black M2Malletier clutch. These clutches are exquisite, but you’ll notice the price per square inch of bag ratio is pretty high here.
Taylor Swift
Valextra Isis Top Handle Bag
$3,450 via Barneys
Here’s Taylor out and about in NYC on a separate occasion with an opulent, purple top-handled bag from the Italian label Valextra. Taylor’s collection of designer bags from more obscure European luxury labels is rounding out quite nicely this week.
I think Anna’s Lanvin is dark green
I’m 99.9% sure Kesha’s bag is from Discount Universe.
Thank you! We had no idea 🙂
Amber’s LD is lamb, not patent.
Although a different brand the last t swift bag is very similar in style to her usual dolce bags:)
I know the Lanvin Sugar Bag is pricey, but when I finally saw it in person, I had to have it. The leather is just beautiful. It’s an awesome bag. Will it have the same resell value as LV or Celine, probably not, but I didn’t care! lol 🙂
Kesha – no….just no.
Love the Valextra bag and am curious about the quality . I’d like to see more coverage on lesser known brands with amazing quality (even if the style isn’t trend setting). I’m really tired of the well known names pumping out stylish bags that aren’t necessarily well crafted. I’d love to see you guys do som quality of construction posts! 🙂
Agreed!
Valextra is incredible — you can see it at Barney’s. I actually really love their new men’s backpack, it’s very pretty/unique for a backpack! I think it’s called the Cortina?
I’m sure it’s been mentioned before, but that Dior is treading dangerously close to Chanel Boy territory.
a flap bag =/= chanel.
Love Valextra! Not an obscure brand at all.
Taraji and her broken face
