The Many Bags of the 2015 Academy Awards Red Carpet

The Academy Awards, because of their extremely formal and buttoned-up nature, often make for boring bag-spotting. Thankfully, though, this year’s red carpet provided more handbag eye candy than we’re used to. From vintage Van Cleef & Arpels to crocodile and rhinestone Louis Vuitton, there’s plenty to look at in the photos below. We even added in a couple of notable bags from the after-parties’ red carpets; we don’t think you’ll mind.

Thanks for the update!

Jenn

can we just talk about Katie Cassidy’s entire look for a sec… FLAWLESS

Stina Sias

Kelly Osbourne makes that Judith Leiber look awesome

louch

OMG, Chrissy Teigen is wearing an Australian designer – Oroton. I am very surprised but very happy to see an Aussie designer getting this kind of exposure!!!

Megs Mahoney Dusil

Love to see brands that we don’t know being worn/carried!

Miley Cyrus is the hottest of messes.

Other than that, Kelly’s clutch was my favorite. I love the color against the black.

Mel

I think “hot mess” falls short for this girl.. We need a whole new phrase to describe her.

Geena

Are those diamonds on the hardware of Nicole Kidman’s clutch?

kindled

Ugh, could Cate Blanchett be any more perfect?

Jess

Diane Kruger looks impeccable. Love the Anya Hindmarch clutch. So much fun!

Sophie Proust

Love Laura Dern’s Bulgari clutch. Also, Streep is such a dame.
