Even if they weren’t carrying Gucci last week, celebs were wearing Gucci or literally caught in the act of shopping at Gucci. There were plenty of new bags on display (including one or two from Gucci), but after a Gucci-lite holiday season, celebs are certainly reorienting themselves towards all things Gucci. Why is Gucci suddenly in the hearts and minds of celebs all over the US? Uncertain! But its sudden surge in popularity is indisputable. Just look at the proof!
Emma Roberts
Emma Roberts was recently spotted in LA carrying a brand new Celine C Bag and wearing a fetching pair of Gucci loafers.
Lindsay Lohan
Lindsay Lohan is stateside once again: Here she is out and about in NYC with a new, pastel metallic leather Gucci Mini Bag.
Jennifer Lopez
Jennifer Lopez carried this classic black Hermès Birkin during a recent jaunt around LA.
Laura Dern
Here are celeb besties and Big Little Lies costars Laura Dern and Reese Witherspoon. Reese’s fuzzy shearling bag is obscured, but Laura is carrying Burberry.
Mariah Carey
Mariah Carey is spending a little time with her family in Aspen, Colorado, and of course no Carey family vacation would be complete without a trip to the nearest Gucci store. She brought her exotic croc Birkin along for the trip.
Kesha
Here’s Kesha, heading into LAX with a furry and colorful Fendi Peekaboo. Don’t miss those humorous cat print slip-ons, either.
Maria Menounos
Finally, we have Maria Menounos, doing some shopping in Beverly Hills while wearing a stylish Gucci Marmont Belt Bag.
Which Burberry bag is it in #5?
I thought there was a movement to not have pics of celebrities’ children? But there’s a pic here of Hilary Duff and her baby…
This is an interesting issue – some celebs are adamant about not showing their kids off and do their best to keep them out of pics, and others do not. I know sometimes the agency actually blurs the face of the kid out (not sure if that is from the celeb or what).
Hilary Duff posts her baby on her public Instagram all the time.
Not saying paparazzi taking photos of her child is the same thing, but we do not typically look for images of babies/kids to share. It’s just a weird spot to be in because some celebs share their kids and want them shared on social media, others do not, and then it’s tricky when it comes to paparazzi photos what should be then shared or not. We will be more conscious of it and I do understand the difference between someone choosing to share an image versus paparazzi taking the image without their consent.
Speaking of one’s little one’s – I hope it isn’t too invasive of your private life, Megs, to ask if you’ve had your baby yet? Since 2019 has just arrived, 3 hours ago, I’d like to wish the Dusil family a healthy & joyous new year! May you make every moment count together, celebrating one another, & striving to always find the good that’s out there, marveling over each blessing revealed to you!. HAPPY NEW YEAR. Thank YOU for sharing a part of your life with us, here! ?
Wow, thank you for such a thorough reply! I really appreciate you taking the time to respond. I can totally see what you said how it could go both ways. I didn’t realize it was so long ago, but I just had the thought about how some of the publications at one point decided not to publish unauthorized photos of people’s kids, but maybe that has changed since it was 4 years ago! As seen in this article: https://jezebel.com/people-just-jared-ban-paparazzi-photos-of-celebrity-ki-1530637934
Anyway, thank you so much for Purseblog and tPF!!!
The Céline C bag is so cheap and tacky looking! :/ I would, tragically, assume that any celeb I will see carrying it is paid to do so, cause I cannot see how anyone could find it appealing! ????
Couldn’t agree more, that bag looks ridiculous.
Mariah’s earlobe!!!! AAAAAAAAHHHHH SAVE IT!
I tell you what, if she skies in those, she WILL rip them out of her dainty lobes! So….? THEN?…. I noticed her Birken, encrusted in diamonds on the lock buckles! I’ve noticed recently how beat up these stars’ Birkens are; like J Lo’s in the previous set of star pics for the week. ?What’s with that?
I know!
That’s the first thing I noticed! And then the Birkin.
OMG Lol….had to go back and look.
I don’t care Tracey. Go away.
Kesha!!!!!!!!!!!!
In picture 5, I’m pretty sure Reese is carrying some version of the Givenchy horizon EDIT: IT IS a Givenchy Horizon with fur trim
good eye! looks like that to me
Oh trust me. Everyone thinks I’m weird because I can look at a handle or hardware of a designer bag and know what it is lol with about 90% accuracy. I call it a talent lol
Disappointing that the photo with Hilary’s baby was purchased for use on this site, further contributing to problem. Don’t think it was necessary to “prove a point” that celebs are returning to Gucci or to make some vaguely interesting idea a story. Doubly disappointing considering how Millie (and Baby Dusil 2019) has been featured on Purseblog -as a choice and a right of Megs and Vlad.- Promoting paps chasing down celebs holding their babies is pretty hypocritical.
We will remove the image. Each celeb roundup we do consists of images pulled from the agency we use – sometimes finding images is hard, sometimes there isn’t much to chose from, and in this case Hilary has her baby. The face is partially obscured but I understand that this has been a big issue for many.
I commented below and I want to expand on that for you because you bring up me sharing Millie and Baby Dusil as well. You are completely right, it is a choice that I make as the mom what I would like to share. Truth be told, I have pretty strong feelings about sharing or oversharing and how much of children’s lives are being exposed on social media, and my goal has always been to not make anything about my social media channels or this site to be about our kids. That’s a whole different topic, but I see where you are coming from and I am with you on this.
I know Hilary Duff shares images of her baby on her social media, but you are right that when she does that it is her choice versus when paparazzi take the photos. I totally understand how you see this as a misstep on our part to have it included. It is a slippery slope – is it ok to share a photo of a child that was shared on instagram but not paparazzi? What about the Kardashians who actively call on paparazzi for photos?
I promise to take this into account moving forward.
I don’t think you needed to apologise so much. Celebrities expose their children in one way or another and eventually most of the children end up in showbiz anyway. I think some famous people complain about leaked or ‘unauthorised’ photos because they didn’t make dollars out of them. If an image of a public person in a public space is available in some photo bank then it could be used in media. We don’t know for sure which celebrity is or isn’t ok with that…
You spelled “Roberts” incorrectly in the first photo.
