Bag aficionados are always on the lookout for the latest trends, and where better to start than with the stars we all love so much. Hollywood has always been a great place for inspiration, so here’s a look at styles making waves in celebrity circles.
Travel Style
Celebrities traveling over the holidays seem to favor the good old fashioned neutral satchel or tote. But then again, there’s never anything old world about a brand new designer patent satchel is there? Everyone from Catherina Zeta Jones, Taylor Swift and Kim Kardashian is going for these classics.
Keeping it Small
If you’re in favor of the mini bag, you are in good company. Liv Tyler and Kate Bosworth took the tiniest of bags out and about. And even a mini bag can be big on personality, like Reese Witherspoon’s red turn lock mini.
Embroidered Bags
The embroidered bag doesn’t have to be about loud colors and rustic patterns. Meryl Streep and Kesha go subtle with a black one with a self colored pattern. So can you.
Evenings Out
Nothing is more convenient than a designer baguette to hold your things. Of course, the clutch continues its run at the top of the charts as an evergreen choice for formal dos. And for something a little festive, bags in a glittler gold are hitting the red carpet too.
All Day Fashion
Flap bags are a hit with celebrities seen about town with theirs. From pregnant moms-to-be, like Vanessa Lachey to others like Molly Sims, these bags are a nice size for those not jumping on the mini trend. For everyone else there are a number of beautiful satchels that are making appearances. Some celebs have chosen to color it up with bags in bright shades of blue or orange, with the more daring upping the oomph with purple. Those looking for something more relaxed and grungy have chosen printed backpacks and distressed look city bags.
Something for the Boys
Male A listers in Hollywood know how to rock a good bag too. And what better way to show ‘em how its done, than with a great man bag? Leather duffels are the perfect way to tote your stuff around if you’re a guy who tops the style charts. Duffels are also great if you want to keep your look rugged, like Hugh Jackman does. An alternative to the duffel is the leather backpack. Kanye West has been seen on more than one occasion with a bespoke designer backpack - keeping it casual but fashionable.
