Celebrities really seem to have it all, don’t they? They get the
greatest clothing and accessories from amazing designers…FOR FREE! (Even
though they could pay for it ten times over!) They have access to the
best parties, other celebrities, amazing vacations and live in the most
coveted places in the world. Overall, it’s the lifestyle that pretty
much everyone secretly longs for.
The thing
about having it all is that you tend to start buying (or being given)
items that most people would look at as crazy or unnecessary. No matter
how you explore this issue, celebrities have closets filled with items
that us “regular people” wouldn’t dream of spending our paycheck on! Oh
to be rich and famous, right?!
For
instance, we often see celebs in countless paparazzi pictures attending
events or simply out enjoying time with their family while carrying
around mini designer handbags. While overall these are an unnecessary
accessory because they don’t hold much but, they wear them everywhere
and we covet them nonetheless. Most women carry around much larger
handbags so they are more practical and can accommodate the many things
that we cart around with us on a daily basis, but celebrities on the
other hand are lucky enough to have staff that carries the important
items while they walk around looking stylish at all times.
This
fashion phenomenon is so coveted because it seems that most of the mini
handbags are the ones that the designers really get creative with, yet
are very impractical. A mini handbag is simply a handbag that is so
little that in most cases you can barely throw your wallet, car keys,
and cell phone inside without struggling to get it closed. Though, we
look past their impracticalities, and lust for them even more because we
all know that good things come in small packages.
Salma Hayek, Balenciaga Link Bag: Price Unknown
Whenever
you are as big of a celebrity as Salma Hayek, you can afford any mini
handbag that crosses your path, so you need to choose wisely. This bag
from the renowned house of Balenciaga was crafted for evenings out on
the town and is truly a modern day clutch; meaning that it’s big enough
to store a few things, but it doesn’t take away from the overall design.
It is beautifully crafted and the supple leather with a slight sheen
perfect Hayek’s overall look this evening, as if she could get any more
stylish.
Miroslava Duma, Chanel No. 5 Perfume Bottle Clutch: Price Unknown
This is truly one of those eccentric handbags
that are so out there they rarely go into production and only
celebrities can get their hands on them so they can be photographed for
the thrill factor that the designer is yearning for. Celebrity Miroslava
Duma wore muted colors so that her Chanel No. 5 Perfume Bottle Clutch
could truly shine on the red carpet, it also helped that she was pretty
much decked out in head to toe Chanel. Anyways, we can pretty much guess
that she had to use her pockets for storage, because there was no
fitting any essentials in this mini bag!
Anne Hathaway, Balenciaga Papier A4 Mini Tote: $1,195
Always
looking super charming, Anne Hathaway jumps on board the mini handbag
train by choosing one that offers a pop of color. The bag is created of
supple calfskin and featured rolled handles with aged metal hardware. As
a special surprise for spending the obscene amount of money on a
handbag small enough to just sit on your arm and look pretty, you will
receive a small leather bound travel mirror so that you can always keep
track of how good you look carrying it!
Elle Fanning, Valentino Rockstud Mini Cross Body Bag: $1,495
Teenage
celebrity sweetheart Elle Fanning has the childhood that most of us
dream will be our adulthood, consisting of gallivanting to celebrity hot
spots such as Mr. Chow’s notorious restaurant in Los Angeles. Well, you
can’t step out in the limelight to attend events like this without
wearing the best of the best and in this case it means mini! Her
Valentino Rockstud Mini Cross Body Bag is the cherry on top of her
wonderfully trendy attire and spot on style.
Bethenny Frankel, Christian Louboutin Sweet Charity Bag: $1,795
Whenever
most moms are out on the town, celebrity or not, they are mostly
carrying bags that are big enough to carry all of that fun “mom stuff.”
However, Skinnygirl creator Bethenny Frankel is spot on with her style
and looks super chic sporting the latest Christian Louboutin bag that
she added to her collection. The bag itself is constructed all over of
black leather, making it very durable and truly a fan favorite.
Reese Witherspoon, Saint Laurent Micro Sac du Jour Bag: $1,995
We love
Reese! Her looks are always effortless but polished and pulled together
featuring great designers! It’s only normal to want to have your hands
free for an afternoon of shopping out in Los Angeles, so she pulled her
Saint Laurent Micro Sac du Jour Bag out of the closet to take a spin!
This bag is the extra mini version of the Small du Jour Bag, which
enables to you carry more than your wallet inside. It is constructed of
polished calf skin, which gives it an allover luster, furthering its
appeal.
Ariana Grande, Chanel Flap Bag: $2,900
This
Disney star showed up the past weekend to celebrate Easter on the White
House lawn to participate in the annual Egg Roll sporting a super trendy
and uber chic Chanel Flap Bag around her shoulders. This bag is highly
coveted by many, mostly because of its classic Chanel appeal with its
gold hardware and vintage quilted design. The bag has come in various
colors over the years, but she loves it in a natural shade. Not exactly
the high class outfit that is worn with Chanel, but it’s the bag that
counts.
Cara Delevingne, Fendi Be Baguette Bag: $2,950
Can’t have
a party without Fendi and can’t have this list without them either!
This designer is widely known for their wonderfully crafted Baguette
bags, which come in a plethora of sizes, colors, and materials. This
one, worn by celebrity Cara Delevingne
at New York Fashion Week is a bright yellow hue, giving her velvet navy
party dress the ultimate pop of color to make sure she is targeted by
the paparazzi. The bag is made complete with its classic braided strap
and gold hardware, perfect for everyday partying.
Rita Ora, Chloe Clare Snakeskin Mini Bag: $3,900
So you
can’t have a celebrity mini bag list without including a piece that is
made from an exotic skin, as celebrities seem to lust for them. Though,
for us “regular people” exotic skins such as snakeskin up the price,
even for a seemingly mini handbag. In this case, celeb Rita Ora is not
only wearing one, but two mini handbags by Chloe, featuring them in two
different color combinations, leaving her looking even more exclusive
and special. We are jealous, to say the least.
