Celebrity Arm Candy: 10 It-Bags Stars Can’t Stop Carrying in 2025

By PAGE Editor
When the world’s most photographed women keep reaching for the same handbags, you know you’re looking at bona-fide icons. From red-carpet regulars to street-style darlings, these ten designs are everywhere right now—and yes, the much-requested Miu Miu Arcadie makes the cut.
1. Miu Miu Arcadie
The softly structured Arcadie has leapt from the runway to reality thanks to Gigi Hadid’s Spring/Summer 2025 leathergoods campaign and a parade of suede versions outside the brand’s Paris show. Its matelassé quilting nods to Miu Miu’s ’50s-prep mood, while the top-handle silhouette keeps the bag perfectly “camera-ready” for A-listers—from Hadid herself to BLACKPINK’s Jisoo.
2. Hermès Birkin & Shoulder Birkin
Nothing telegraphs quiet power quite like a Birkin. At the Hermès Women’s Fall-Winter 2025 show, the new Shoulder Birkin dominated the celebrity pack, confirming that even the world’s most exclusive bag can evolve for hands-free city living (a boon for It-girls who still need to text between paparazzi flashes).
3. Chanel Classic Flap 11.12
Taylor Swift gave the timeless Flap a fresh spin on a recent Philadelphia date night, pairing the mini version with a $298 sundress and proving the bag slides effortlessly between couture and casual. Expect to spot crystal-striped iterations on Blake Lively and the sorbet leathers now landing for SS 25.
4. Dior D-Journey
Move over Lady Dior—the newest top-handle darling is the D-Journey. Debuting in Maria Grazia Chiuri’s SS 25 collection, it’s already been slung over the arms of Anya Taylor-Joy, Nicola Coughlan, and Rihanna, who styled hers with executive-court tailoring. The sleek front flap and tonal “CD” hardware give it instant icon status.
5. Gucci Jackie 1961
The piston-clasp Jackie is enjoying a full-scale revival. From Dakota Johnson’s airport looks to Yara Shahidi’s coordinated FW 25 show outfit, the bag’s curved hobo shape and minimalist logo keep it endlessly remix-able. Vogue editors call it “the handbag of now and forever,” and celebrities clearly agree.
6. Prada Cleo
Prada’s crescent-shaped Cleo remains the fashion crowd’s stealth-luxury pick. A silver printed version drew camera lenses at Milan Fashion Week, and Jennifer Lawrence’s leopard-print Cleo reminded everyone the style can double as a statement accessory. The brushed leather finish and close-shoulder fit make it both polished and practical.
7. Bottega Veneta Cassette
Daniel Lee’s padded Cassette refuses to leave the spotlight. NYFW street-style photographers captured a rainbow of Cassettes—old and new—alongside the brand-new Ciao Ciao, but the boxy Intrecciato classic still tops celebrity wish lists (Margot Robbie and Tracee Ellis Ross are superfans).
8. Celine Triomphe
Doja Cat’s butter-yellow Teen Triomphe and Reese Witherspoon’s candy-croissant run with the bag prove Hedi Slimane’s signature clasp is as coveted as ever. Clean Parisian lines meet discreet branding—exactly why stylists lean on it for “I woke up chic” paparazzi shots.
9. Fendi Peekaboo
Reese Witherspoon’s black Peekaboo has logged seven years of heavy rotation, while Meghan Markle, Hailey Bieber, and Naomi Campbell each own multiple versions. The dual-compartment frame lets celebs flash a contrasting lining for a subtle flex—low-key luxury at its finest.
10. Louis Vuitton Speedy 25 & Speedy P9
Pharrell Williams’ men’s studio has re-energized the Speedy with denim Damier and P9 soft-trunk twists—bags PurseBop predicts will swarm the Met Gala steps. Meanwhile the vintage monogram Speedy 25 is trending hard on TikTok, proving the silhouette’s cross-generational appeal.
The Take-Away
From Miu Miu’s fresh Arcadie to Hermès’ forever-coveted Birkin, 2025’s most-spotted bags balance heritage craftsmanship with a dash of novelty. If you’re hunting for an investment piece that photographs as well on city sidewalks as it does on the red carpet, start here—because celebrities just gave these ten designs their ultimate stamp of approval.
