The handbags in today’s roundup command your respect, even if the some of the celebs carrying them don’t always succeed in that task. It’s worth noting that this week, in addition to our usual housewives, Jenners and professional fashion show attendees, we do have an actual Dame and Amy Schumer in the mix. If those two ladies don’t command your respect, then I don’t think we can be friends. Anyone who is willing to wear a poncho through a foreign airport during a promotional tour at this point in fashion history is an American treasure.
Alessandra Ambrosio
Michael Kors Miranda Tote
$1,195 via Neiman Marcus
Alessandra Ambrosio recently stepped out with a bright blue Michael Kors Miranda Tote and an iced coffee after her yoga session in LA. The Miranda line of bags was especially popular in summers past, but it’s been a spell since we’ve seen one in the wild.
Amy Schumer
Narciso Rodriguez Trapezoidal Duffel
$999 via Barneys
As promised, here’s a poncho-clad Amy Schumer, arriving in Sydney to do Trainwreck promo with an attractive black Narciso Rodriguez bag in tow. This is a highly calculated celeb airport travel ensemble, and it amuses me greatly.
Eva Longoria
Chanel Wallet on Chain Bag
Strangely enough, Eva Longoria was also down under this week. Here she is hanging out in Paddington, Australia with her boyfriend (not seen here) and a dainty Chanel bag. (It’s cold in Australia during this time of year, hence the puffy coats and ponchos.)
Helen Mirren
Dolce & Gabbana Monica Bag
$2,345 via farfetch.com
Dame Helen Mirren donned a playful Dolce & Gabbana dress from the brand’s Fall 2015 collection to the Gala Ischia Global Film and Music Fest in Italy this weekend. She paired her dress with a muted, pistachio green D&G Monica, naturally.
Kendall Jenner
Céline Nano Luggage Tote
Here’s Kendall Jenner, shopping with her Céline Nano in Beverly Hills once again. This is exactly what we saw her doing last week, albeit with a different Céline Nano. She owns a few.
Kylie Jenner
Givenchy Pandora Box Bag
$1,790 via farfetch.com
Meanwhile, her sister Kylie was recently spotted leaving The Nice Guy, an Italian eatery in West Hollywood, with a pale Givenchy Pandora Box.
Lisa Vanderpump
Chanel Boy Bag
Lisa Vanderpump was also recently spotted leaving her restaurant Sur in LA with German singer Bill Kaulitz. The internet seems to be collectively uncertain as to how/why this unusual celebrity dinner date took place. Lisa’s metallic pink Chanel Boy Bag is particularly noteworthy, and particularly Lisa, in any case.
Olivia Palermo
Fendi Peekaboo Bag
$3,100 via Nordstrom
Finally, here’s Olivia Palermo, out and about in exotic Brooklyn with a little yellow Fendi Peekaboo. Her bag has one of the pricey, fancy straps from Fendi’s new Strap You collection, which we gave you the details on earlier this week. These straps will add an extra grand to your Fendi bill.
I love them all but the Chanel WOC wins for me! http://www.jacquardflower.uk
Who in their right mind told Olivia Palermo, that is was good to pair that Fendi strap with those Fendi sunglasses?
I get your point that there might be to much print going on in the outfit, but at the same time, who thinks of checking if their bag STRAP and sunglasses clash?
Is matching your sunglasses even a thing?? I just slap on whatever I grab first.
Yep. It’s a thing. Lol! I have a sunglasses collection almost as large as my handbag collection and carefully select the right sunnies for my outfit. ????

I must say she is lovely and knows how to put clothes together in an interesting way (most of the time), but every time I see her I think what does she do besides be a hanger? Her closet must be enormous.
Olivia Palermo is the only reality/fashion blog regular/etc that I respect at some level even though I know nothing about her. She seems to genuinely understand fashion instead of being a hundredth version of the same girl.
When someone else does that, it’s a faux pas. When O.P. does that, it’s SO CHIC and everyone must copy. Yeah, doesn’t sound right to me, either.
I love that Celine Nano. Am I too old, at almost 51, to carry that bag?
Not at all! My mom is 62 and has borrowed my Nano on many occasions. She always gets compliments and looks great.
Not too old at all! In addition to it being important to wear what you like and be true to what makes you feel best no matter your age, I think the Nano is perfectly suitable for nearly anyone looking for a smaller bag with some nice lines. It’s tailored and unfussy, which makes it really versatile.
No. Wear what you like. If you’re confident in what you have on, you can pull it off.
lovee Helen Mirren bag, the color, the style, the size.. everything
Soooo not an Amy Schumer fan. She’s crass and unfunny.
That “get up” she’s in sans makeup doesn’t give her any additional points in my book.
Amy Schumer’s entire outfit is exactly what I’d wear if I were on a flight that long. Super comfortable, the poncho is like a blanket if it gets cold, you need a hat to cover the mess that is your hair after being on an Ambien/Xanax cocktail for a forever flight, etc., sunglasses to hide the bloodshot/dark circled eyes…
I just scored a Celine Nano when I was in NYC! Oh, I love every aspect of it! http://www.linspiredandmotivated.blogspot.com
