Mini Bags and High-Waisted Jeans Dominated Celeb Tastes Last Week

Emily Anderson

Last week’s celebrity bag choices leaned decisively small, with miniature silhouettes and top-of-the-waistline styling taking center stage. Across New York and Los Angeles, the bags on view ranged from compact classics to scaled-down versions of familiar favorites, giving the week a polished, tightly edited feel. Alongside the handbag shift, Rihanna once again offered a reminder that her personal style operates on its own logic, pairing a fresh hairstyle with leopard print and an unmistakably Rihanna approach to accessories.

Pant waists rose and handbags got remarkably wee last week. Celebs are stepping out en masse with new minis from Dior and classic minis and daintier styles from Chanel, Givenchy, Proenza Schouler and more. Meanwhile, in Rihanna news, Rihanna has changed her hairstyle once again and is favoring leopard print this week.

Here’s Dakota Johnson leaving lunch at Hu Kitchen in New York City with her logo-covered Gucci GG Supreme Tote. It’s a practical, recognizable choice that suits her low-key approach to off-duty dressing. If you are following her recent career updates, filming on the Fifty Shades sequels has already wrapped.

Emma Roberts Dior Diorever Mini BagShop Dior Bags via Vestiaire Collective

Paps spotted Emma Roberts making a coffee run in LA with her new Dior Diorever Mini Bag. I was wondering why this mini version looked so weird, and then I realized I see far more of Rihanna’s flashy metallic leather Diorevers than basic black or brown versions.

Hailey Baldwin Givenchy Mini Antigona Bag$1,750 via Nordstrom

Here’s Hailey Baldwin, returning to her NYC apartment with a brown leather Givenchy Antigona mini. We have seen notably fewer Antigonas in the last few months, and I suspect its long reign of supremacy may finally be winding down.

Jessica Alba Chanel Wallet on Chain BagShop Chanel Bags via Vestiaire Collective

Jessica Alba has a very diverse handbag collection that runs the gamut when it comes to price points. We only occasionally see her carry big names like Chanel, and yet here she is, carrying a little hot red Chanel Wallet on Chain Bag at the airport.

Olivia Wilde Proenza Schouler PS1 Pouch$890 via Proenza Schouler

EJ Johnson was recently seen carrying one of his exotic-leather Hermès bags to Nightingale nightclub in Los Angeles. The look reinforces his willingness to approach fashion with confidence and a strong point of view, especially when it comes to more directional menswear and luxury accessories.

Rihanna Louis Vuitton x Frank Gehry Twisted Monogram Bag

Finally, here’s Rihanna, heading into Up & Down in NYC, as Rihanna does. You’ll notice her locs are gone, but her love for her Louis Vuitton x Frank Gehry Twisted Monogram Bag is eternal.

I’d give up all my bags to have Rihanna’s skin. Okay, maybe not all but a good fraction

Isn’t she basically perfect?!

Emma Roberts was spotted in Los Angeles on a coffee run with a Dior Diorever Mini Bag. The smaller scale makes the bag feel sharper and more compact than the original silhouette, and it works especially well for someone who prefers a streamlined daytime carry. In this version, the structured shape and polished finish keep the look refined without feeling overdone.

Rihanna mixed and matches the weirdest things but they look good on her!

EJ Johnson takes everything wicked expensive and makes it look trashy!

Does EJ knows what he wants to be?

Here’s Hailey Baldwin returning to her New York City apartment with a brown leather Givenchy Antigona mini. The Antigona remains a strong reference point for buyers who like structured bags, but the mini version offers a lighter, more current proportion. Brown leather also softens the bag’s angular lines, making it easier to wear with casual separates.
