Celebs, they’re just like us! Not quite, but well sort of. This past weekend I spotted a photo of Dua Lipa posted up outside of my favorite coffee shop in the city. I had been there a mere hour earlier, so I guess it does seem that sometimes celebs are just like us! Dua Lipa, like some of our other celeb favorites, is in New York for the 2019 Tribeca Film Festial. These celeb attendees have been meandering about with some pretty drool-worthy bags. Meanwhile back in LA it’s business as usual as our favorite stars leave their workouts and film reality shows with their best bags in tow.
Amal Clooney

Whitney Port
Whitney Port is back on our radar as she films The Hills reboot in LA. Here she is carrying a supple looking Chanel Bucket bag in Studio City.
Ashley Tisdale

Charlize Theron
Actress Charlize Theron looks stylish in leather pants and sneakers as she leaves her hotel in New York carrying a Dior Velvet Flap Bag.
Tilda Swinton
Actress Tilda Swinton is spotted in New York with her beau Sandro Kopp carrying a Loewe Gate Bag. She’s in town to celebrate the 50th anniversary of New York’s beloved film society.
Dua Lipa
Songstress and style star Dua Lipa leaves a workout at Gotham Gym in New York City carrying a Saint Laurent Lou Camera Bag. She’s in town attending the Tribeca Film Festival.
Shelby Tribble
Model and British TV Star Shelby Tribble arrives at the Jourdan Dunn x Maybelline Party carrying what appears to be a metallic Diorama Bag, but is it actually? We’re not sure of its authenticity.
Chloe Sevigny
Chloe Sevigny seen in New York at the 2019 Tribeca Film Festival. She’s carrying a white top handle Chanel Bag.
I tend to agree with TKS; I mean celebrities are not above carrying replica bags. Maybe it’s part of another larger discussion. The picture is terrible but even so there are features that do not look accurate. It’s certainly not possible to prove it’s authentic.
That Diorama looks fishy to me. The corners are rounded (they are squared off), the chain, the chain loops, the metallic design…umm…..also the clasp is too large for the bag and positioned too high on the front. The clasp should nearly hit the bottom edge. There is no leather on the strap. On and on and on. This is not a DIOR Diorama.
Yeah, you guys posted a dupe. Good one. https://chicpursuit.com/dior-dupes/
It doesn’t look like the picture of the dupe though. But the picture is a blurred a bit.
Agreed, it doesn’t look like a picture of the dupe. Looking at several pictures, authentic and dupe, makes me believe that this is authentic.
I know right. If you look at it color wise, and look at how far away the hardware is from the bottom of the flap it looks real. It even matches pictures on various different websites, and most of the Google images.
To me it’s a dead ringer for the silver dupe on the site there. Nevertheless it’s not a Dior posted here.
Happy Birthday Kaitlin!! ???? I hope you have a wonderful day!
Thank you!!!
Great article. I like seeing how you incorporate different styles and make the pictures flow so easily, it provides a very nice aesthetic.
The Michael Kors Collection bag is actually really pretty-that’s the back of the bag, the front has a nice little flap to close it. I know PB readers collectively don’t like MK but the Bancroft is a surprising win for me, and it’s under $1000 and made in Italy.
Michael Kors makes a good looking bag
He can do nice bags whenever he actually bothers to design something instead of just stealing a design and putting his logo on it.
In a post with Amal Clooney and Dua Lipa, Dua is credited as a style star….? Please explain.
On point.
Looking at these pictures of “celebrities” with their beautiful bags I was struck by the picture of Chloe Sevigny. To me, this photo is a dichotomy of the differences in social and economic status between two races and two generations of people. Chloe is dressed in designer clothes, shoes and handbags and the woman to her right is wearing the opposite. This pix addresses differences re: that Chloe may have more opportunities and privilege than the woman to her right who may be more middle class and works for less pay. This pix is striking and captures the essence of this disparity. (Disclaimer: I’m not making a statement re: that this is true for ALL races, ages, etc. since I know this is NOT true. My point is that in this moment of time the camera catches a pix of these differences, that’s all).
I thought the same exact thing, Chanel. I’m so glad that you commented and so politically correct and with so much eloquence. Thanks
Would be nice if someone didn’t judge people by their appearance wouldn’t it? There are plenty of people who have craploads of money that PREFER to dress under the radar and in ultimate comfort, especially in NYC. They couldn’t care less about fashion. This is a fashion blog, not a money blog. Not all people with money dress fashionably, and not all people who dress fashionably have money. It’s a vapid assumption and revolting stereotype. Perhaps she is a doctor just coming off shift dressed in hospital gear. I would hate to steal all of this lady’s accomplishments from her because you assume by being black she is poor and underprivileged.
I thought Chanel’s observation was keen and interesting. She is talking about the contrast between the glitz of a celebrity and the lack thereof, of a non-celeb “civilian”.
You missed my point! I am not assuming “by being black she is poor and underprivileged”. Also, does it look like she is “dressed in hospital gear?” It’s not judgmental it’s a social observation. If you take it for more than that you missed the point that I was making.
I personally think your observation was intriguing and different. 🙂
And no, you don’t need to shut the fuck up. Everybody has a right to express their opinion and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Especially the self entitled, narcissistic know-it-all types.
I’m wondering if you would have pointed that out if it were Oprah, Nina Long, Jada Pinkett, Taraji Henson, Kerry Washington, Ciara (should I keep going?) , instead of Chloe in that picture? Or aren’t they privileged??? Careful what your implying.
What difference does it make?
It’s a celebrity picture. Period. Why spin it into anything more. Yeah.. they have MONEY. That’s the whole point of this blog.
You Seriously need to STFU.
Irene please calm down Chanel made a disclaimer: (Disclaimer: I’m not making a statement re: that this is true for ALL
races, ages, etc. since I know this is NOT true. My point is that in
this moment of time the camera catches a pix of these differences,
that’s all).
In saying that, pointing out interpretative observations like this is kind of pointless as Pursebblog specialises in luxury spending and …uhm most celebrities do a lot of that.
I’m making a point. That’s it. I used examples to make my point.
I bet the individual that was pointed out in the picture will just be thrilled about being labeled like that. Or was there an assumption that she or her friends and family don’t read the PB and won’t see her being humiliated like that?
Please stop. It was a STUPID comment. Leave it at that.
I’m calm sweetheart.
People walk around not fully dressed up and carrying Chanel bags everyday.
The “actress” that was there for photos that day happened to be.
Why make a dumb quip about her being privileged? You don’t know where she came from or how hard she may have had to work to come up.
So stupid. You’d sound a lot less ignorant yourself if you wouldn’t defend it.
Chanel said “Chloe MAY have more opportunities” and the other woman “MAY be middle class”. Nothing more, relax!
Really?
So just random fantasising about the lives of random people in the photos?
I don’t need you to explain it for me.
Irene: Honey, it’s “fantasizing” not whatever you wrote! You do need someone to help you write, though!
She might be from the UK where they spell this way? We are not all from the US here. Lots of stereotyping going on today geez.
Seriously? She doesn’t know how to spell and you state she “might be from the UK?”. Who is stereotyping, today? Also, earlier you blatantly attack Chanel for expressing her opinion? This is a blog in a community of “purse lovers”. However, if anyone expresses their opinion you feel that it’s ok to viciously attack them? That’s hypocritical and mean! Think about it and try to be a better person.
Yes. It’s a blog about purse lovers. Not about race baiting, hate, politics, socioeconomic status or righting the wrongs in the world. It’s. About. Purses. Stick with that you’ll be just fine ? Perhaps you need to go buy a lovely bag and get the cork out of your ass?
Apparently, you do believe it’s ok to viciously attack, insult and curse at others for having an opinion different from your own. Nice.
Well Chanel, I mean Tiffany, I mean Chanel, or Tiffany, whichever you are trying to be, please point out the “vicious attack” language you were referring to above (the cork out of your ass was subsequent to your first mention of “vicious attack”)? The way I see it, you’ve run out of intelligent rhetoric and are retreating into cliche territory. My comments promote tolerance, peace, understanding and inclusion, and elevating a viewpoint. Your comments are circumscribed to the mudpit where it appears you enjoy bathing and stirring the pot. My comments suggested 1) never judge a book by its cover 2) fantasising is a correct spelling (like realising is as well) in the UK (fact not opinion) and 3) go buy yourself a bag and be happy. I realize (or realise) that drama can be addicting, but you might substitute shopping because it’s much more fun. Whatever emotional compensation you are seeking to curb personal deficiencies or insecurities on a PURSE BLOG, you might address in therapy. The results will no doubt be more favorable for those who must endure close proximity to you.
Well, Irene, I mean Sissy, I mean Irene or I mean Sissy, whichever you are trying to be you lost the argument a long time ago. Educate yourself on polite social norms. Also, if you read this blog there are discussions on various subjects i.e. politics, race, etc. etc. It is not just limited to bags.
Actually, I don’t “seriously need to shut the fuck up”. I was speaking of the differences between two people, in a moment in time. It didn’t have to be “Chloe, in that picture”, it could have been anyone. Also, don’t threaten me by saying for me to be “careful what I’m implying”. If you missed the point, you missed the point. It was an observation and doesn’t imply anything else.
Wow, chill! Chanel said “Chloe MAY have more opportunities” and the other woman “MAY be middle class”. Nothing more, relax!
Sorry, this was meant for “potty mouth”. You go, girl!
The thing the picture captured for me is that wearing expensive clothes and shoes does not mean that one will not look ridiculous.
I agree! Maybe I should have just said that! 🙂
I just SWOON over Amal Clooney. She seems the complete package – extremely intelligent, accomplished, charitable, beautiful – more of her, please! She’s a real role model.
Anyone know what sunglasses Amal is wearing? They are gorgeous.
Seriously since when did you guys start posting fake bags? That is NOT a Dior!
I know. It’s so off that it’s just bad. Not even any leather on the strap. I cannot believe this picture actually got posted as a Dior.
Well the mini size doesn’t have leather on the strap which is what I’m guessing this is what it’s imitating but the pattern on the front and the corners are what give it away.
Well but the next size down from small is micro, and that is 3×5”. Teeny tiny. I am guessing this is more “small” copy size which does have the strap. Since the proportions are so off, it’s hard to tell. But. It’s instantaneously easy to see it’s not an Dior. Whyyyyyyy…..
They have a mini as well. It was discontinued a while ago but they made it. The baby Diorama they might have in stores. I had it for a quick second. Not worth it.
You are right, I do remember now, the mini from years back. I don’t recall ever seeing the mini or the large in the metallic microcannage tho?? The mini was smaller than the woc, and was a ridiculous size for anything at that price point. The small Diorama also, as much as I wanted to, was useless for size as well. I had to sell all of mine. Sigh.
You might be right. Earlier I thought you were wrong so I took another look. I looked at several pictures and compared them. Dior clutches have chain straps and Dior bags have a leather and chain strap. This picture shows a Dior bag, but without the leather strap making me believe it is a dupe. The other differences, for me, were harder to recognize, but the lack of a leather strap appears to be a dead giveaway.
The difference between the mini and small is the leather strap. The mini is closer to the size of the WOC but has the extra hardware on the flap to hold the chains. They have a large, medium, small, mini, baby and WOC.
I am loving Dua Lipa and Chloe’s coats. The Saint Laurent one is definitely calling my name.
Amal Clooney is just head-to-toe chic.
Great bag the Loewe Gate bag!!!! Good election Tilda!!!!

The big question would be is Shelby Tribble carrying a Dior that is “real” or a “dupe?”. IDK.
It’s definitely not real. The pattern is off. The corners are off. Weird that she would even have that. I guess most people think that because she’s a “well known” person, she wouldn’t carry a fake? Same idea with the Kardashians. No one would question their croc birkins even if they were fake.
My Chanel SA in Hawaii mentioned exactly this. He speaks 5 languages and has overheard countless “famous” globetrotters joking about compliments they received on their fake croc birkins. Not fake croc, just not a real H croc.
Not surprised. They’re supposed to be so hard to acquire yet everyone seems to have one. Where I live suddenly so many women have them. These women are wealthy but I’ve never seen them wearing or carrying anything else from Hermes. There are fancy boutiques in China selling Uber fakes.
From what I hear, those super-fake Himalayan Birkins cost a few grand
Chloe is in a league of her own and it’s great!
I love her and her style
