Like many an A-lister, Kate Beckinsale is largely immune to designer whims. You won’t see her carrying many bags du jour, but at the same time, everything in her extensive handbag collection demands your attention. She has loved the Givenchy Pandora style in particular for several years now and continues to carry it regularly, even as celeb tastes in general have started to angle more towards Gucci or The Row.
While it remains one of my personal faves, the Pandora has admittedly been much less visible in the last year or two. Kate’s love for the Pandora persists, however. Kate is a frequent flier in our celeb handbag roundups, as well as a frequent flier in general–a great many of these shots were taken outside of LAX. Those not taken outside of LAX were likely snapped in front of a of celeb-friendly LA restaurant, or during a recent NY press tour. Here are the eight recent examples of Kate’s dedication to her precious Pandoras.
I have also noticed she is very fond of this bag despite it now looking dated to me. Not a fan.
I have the small version and it can fit quite a lot. Initially I didn’t understand the hype around the bag, but it grew on me. I’m a casual person, so it’s perfect.
i have never been a fan of this bag so i dont quite understand the intrigue
She’s just stunning.
I personally don’t like this bag but she’s gorgeous… her hair and her body are perfect. She looks like Victoria Beckham in picture 7, IMO (just an observation)
This bag kind of bothers me. I just feel like it’s missing a strap. It looks incomplete.
Does anyone know if she carries the large or medium or both?
In these photos she has both the large and medium. You can tell the difference on the bottom flap.
This bag has always reminded me of a pizza delivery boy’s pizza bag.
agree
I too don’t understand the appeal of this bag. As others have said, looks like a handle is missing. Also looks like everything inside it tumbles into the lower corner. Awkward and awful.
There are literally only 2 pandoras she’s carrying in this article, with 7/8 times being only one. I understand an article about celebs being obsessed with a bag in different colours (a la Victoria Beckhams/Kim Ks/Ecclestones huge birkin range). But this is just her carrying the same bag???
Well, I bought the Pandora when it first came out years ago and I have to say, it is the nr. 1 most practical bag ever!! Plus I’ve always loved how weird it looks:))
I have this bag and in fact I’m carrying it today. It looks weird but I love it so much. Plus, the fact that it LOOKS so different is a big plus for me.
I have been considering a medium or large pandora after the last time Kate was featured. The lust for the bag is only from pictures, so I’m excited to see one in hand.
I used to doubt a lot about Pandora design too. Yes, it does look weird like the designer hasn’t finished the job yet. But I came across and tried the mini version on last year and fell in love with it right away! Now I have 2 Pandoras; mini and medium. I can say it’s one of the most practical and unique bags ever. Love it <3
