Hermès is one of the most sought-after brands in the luxury handbag market. The elusive luxury brand is in a league all of its own and hides behind a veil of scarcity and exclusivity. Making the leap from a designer handbag consumer to an Hermès customer is no easy feat, but when you’re a celebrity, things are a little bit easier.
Not only does your name bring a certain clout, but you have more access to snag the shape, color, and size of your dreams—even if it means paying well above retail on the secondary market. While it’s refreshing to see the celebs that don’t subscribe to the H game, it’s also fun to marvel at those who do, and they sure wear them well!
Ciara
The always-stunning Ciara touched down in Cannes by way of the Nice airport in the perfect stylish, yet comfortable travel fit. She paired leggings with Bottega Veneta lug-sole boots, an oversized T-shirt dress, Miu Miu sunglasses, and a classic B30 in Noir Clemence with GHW.
This is how I want to travel from now on!
Irina Shayk
New York’s most stylish dog mom award goes to Irina Shayk, who was spotted in the West Village toting her dog in a Noir Shiny Croc B30 with PHW. Yes, you read that right, and if you had to do a double-take when you read this, I too did the same, completely missing her furry friend at first.
Stars, they’re just like us!
Alessandra Ambrosio
If you want to see Hermès in the wild during the month of May, the Nice Airport is the place to be, as we can confirm. Alessandra Ambrosio touched down in town for the Cannes Film Festival in a neutral outfit that is so simple—but so chic.
The former Victoria’s Secret Angel paired perfect-fitting white flared jeans with a knit henley and a blazer draped over her shoulders. Her accessories are what make the look, including a sleek scarf tied around her waist and a slouchy Hermès Retourne Kelly 25 in Gris Perle Togo with PHW in the crook of her arm.
Ashley Tisdale
Sharpay Evens…uh, I mean, Ashley Tisdale, stopped by Good Morning America with a smile, a wave, and a shiny Hermès Kelly Sellier 28 in Noir Epsom with GHW. The actress and mom turned wellness-mogul touched down in NYC to promote the 5th season of Disney’s Phineas and Ferb. Tisdale has been the voice of character Candace Flynn since 2007.
Okay listen: These women understand that true luxury isn’t reserved for special occasions, it’s a lifestyle. Carrying a Birkin to lunch or a Kelly to run errands isn’t about showing off; it’s about maintaining a standard. When you live with taste, Hermès becomes your neutral! ✨️
IMO, kinda start to think that B and K is not that special as it used to since seeing a lot of stars and influencer wearing it (Or maybe since social media existed). Don’t get me wrong, it is a pretty bag, but it used to be special since rare to see people carrying it, but now? well….
Yeah I was literally thinking the same
Birkins and Kellys are not rare by any stretch of the imagination. Hermès sells them every day in their hundreds of stores. It’s just that the company has done a great job cultivating an illusionary sense of exclusivity and scarceness. All smoke and mirrors.
Geez, those bags are heavy enough without carrying a small dog in them too.
Because of the hype, the bags just whistle “I’m stylish, successful and rich” but otherwise I don’t think they do anything to enhance the looks of the wearer.
FYI: Some leathers, including crocodile, box calf and others, are lightweight even in Hermes Birkins and Kellys.
I was actually offered a bag last fall in Paris. And, shockingly to some, I turned it down! I’m at a point in my life I want my hands free and I don’t want to carry a bag in the crook of my arm. I happily settled for an Evelyne and I wear it everywhere.
I love my Evelynes! So comfortable and practical for every day.
I have always thought Evelyne’s were attractive; question, how do you keep your things secure- from falling out of top of bag?
Oh gosh Ashley’s lips are 🦆
