Karl Lagerfeld loves a party, and he throws them at will. They’re always incredibly grand, and Lagerfeld never fails to fill his guest lists with indie actresses, It Girls and, as of late, the photogenic progeny of the rich and famous. Late last week, Chanel brought its Austria-themed Metiers d’Art 2015 collection to NYC for a lavish re-showing, and celebs came out in droves.
As Lagerfeld tends to do, he armed almost all of his It Girls with recent-season Chanel bags, and we’re very happy he did. This particular practice of his makes it easy to see the bags in context on human bodies, which makes it much simpler to imagine how they might look in our closets. Check out all the goodies below.
Kendall Jenner
Marc Jacobs Incognito Bag
$2,500 via Nordstrom
Kendall was the only notable attendee rebellious enough to forgo a Chanel bag.
Kris Jenner
Chanel Reissue Flap Bag
Her mom, on the other hand, was not as rebellious.
Lily-Rose Depp
Chanel Chain-Trim Minaudiere
Lily-Rose is the daughter of longtime Karl Lagerfeld muse Vanessa Paradis and (you guessed it) Johnny Depp.
Hannah Herzsprung
Chanel Shearling Flap Bag
Hannah is a German actress, flown in for the occasion.
Sophie Auster
Chanel Chevron Clutch
Sophie, for the uninitiated, is an American singer-songwriter.
Dakota Johnson
Chanel Pearl-Logo Flap Bag
I’d imagine that we are all, by now, intimately familiar with Dakota.
Courtney Eaton
Between Courtney’s flawless skin and gorgeously detailed dress, I am extremely envious of this Aussie actress.
Eve Hewson
Chanel Mini Boy Bag
This guest list already has a bit of a Famous Offspring theme going, so let’s keep it up: Eve is Bono’s daughter.
Beyoncé
Chanel Top Handle Flap Bag
Beyoncé declined to appear on the step and repeat, apparently, but she was caught by paps outside.
Julianne Moore
Chanel Embellished Classic Flap Bag
May we all age as gracefully and subtly as Julianne.
Tali Lennox
Chanel Chain-Trim Minaudiere
Also on the list of famous kids: Tali Lennox, daughter of Eurythmics legend Annie.
Loan Chabanol
Chanel Votez Coco Minaudiere
Loan, on the other hand, comes from the “French actress” section of Karl’s little black book.
Harley Viera-Newton
Chanel Mini Boy Bag
Harley’s parents were mildly famous (a record exec and a Brazilian model), but we’re judging on a scale of one to Bono here.
Helen Lasichanh
Chanel Icons Reissue Bag
Helen is, as you might have guessed, Pharrell’s wife. She’s also extremely cool.
Dylan Penn
I’m not entirely sure who makes that bag, but I do know who made Dylan: Sean Penn and Actual Living Goddess Robin Wright.
Alexa Chung
Chanel Classic Flap Bag
Compared to many of the show’s attendees, Chung rose to fame the old-fashioned way: being a British It Girl.
Audrey Gelman
Chanel Velvet Classic Flap Bag
If you watch Girls, you probably know a little bit about Audrey; she’s Lena Dunham’s best friend and the real-life inspiration for Marnie.
