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.
