Karl Lagerfeld loves a party, and he throws them at will. They’re always exceptionally grand, and Lagerfeld never fails to fill his guest lists with indie actresses, It girls and, as of late, the photogenic progeny of the rich and famous. Late last week, Chanel brought its Austria-themed Metiers d’Art 2015 collection to nyc for a extravagant re-showing, and celebs came out in droves.
As Lagerfeld tends to do, he armed nearly all of his It girls with recent-season Chanel bags, and we’re very delighted he did. This particular practice of his makes it easy to see the bags in context on human bodies, which makes it much simpler to imagine how they might look in our closets. check out all the goodies below.
Kendall Jenner
Marc Jacobs Incognito Bag
$2,500 by means of Nordstrom
Kendall was the only significant attendee rebellious enough to forgo a Chanel bag.
Kris Jenner
Chanel Reissue Flap Bag
Her mom, on the other hand, was not as rebellious.
Lily-Rose Depp
Chanel Chain-Trim Minaudiere
Lily-Rose is the daughter of longtime Karl Lagerfeld muse Vanessa Paradis and (you guessed it) Johnny Depp.
Hannah Herzsprung
Chanel Shearling Flap Bag
Hannah is a German actress, flown in for the occasion.
Sophie Auster
Chanel Chevron Clutch
Sophie, for the uninitiated, is an American singer-songwriter.
Dakota Johnson
Chanel Pearl-Logo Flap Bag
I’d imagine that we are all, by now, intimately familiar with Dakota.
Courtney Eaton
Between Courtney’s flawless skin and gorgeously in-depth dress, I am very envious of this Aussie actress.
Eve Hewson
Chanel tiny kid Bag
This guest list already has a bit of a popular Offspring theme going, so let’s keep it up: Eve is Bono’s daughter.
Beyoncé
Chanel top manage Flap Bag
Beyoncé declined to appear on the step and repeat, apparently, but she was caught by paps outside.
Julianne Moore
Chanel embellished classic Flap Bag
May we all age as gracefully and subtly as Julianne.
Tali Lennox
Chanel Chain-Trim Minaudiere
Also on the list of popular kids: Tali Lennox, daughter of Eurythmics legend Annie.
Loan Chabanol
Chanel Votez Coco Minaudiere
Loan, on the other hand, comes from the “French actress” section of Karl’s little black book.
Harley Viera-Newton
Chanel tiny kid Bag
Harley’s parents were mildly popular (a record exec and a Brazilian model), but we’re judging on a scale of one to Bono here.
Helen Lasichanh
Chanel icons Reissue Bag
Helen is, as you might have guessed, Pharrell’s wife. She’s also very cool.
Dylan Penn
I’m not entirely sure who makes that bag, but I do know who made Dylan: Sean Penn and actual Living Goddess Robin Wright.
Alexa Chung
Chanel Classic Flap Bag
Compared to lots of of the show’s attendees, Chung rose to fame the old-fashioned way: being a British It Girl.
Audrey Gelman
Chanel velvet classic Flap Bag
If you enjoy Girls, you probably know a little bit about Audrey; she’s Lena Dunham’s best friend and the real-life inspiration for Marnie.
