Gigi Hadid stepped out in a gorgeous blue Burberry dress at the WSJ. Magazine Innovator Awards [1], and as soon as she hit the red carpet, I had the obvious thought — the one you're probably thinking, too: where, oh where, does Gigi Hadid find all her cool bags that remind me of my youth? She owns a blue sequined Chanel purse [2] that pretty much belongs in a museum and recently toted a mini jelly bag [3] that looks like both a lava lamp and Fruit Roll-Ups at the same time.
Well, on this fine evening, Gigi coordinated her pastel midi with Jimmy Choo pumps, Burberry earrings, and beautiful blue rings — baubles that complemented her vintage Chanel beaded pouch wondrously. Gigi's accessory shimmered in the spotlight, and it even got its own close-up thanks to a photographer standing by who likely felt just like me. This is a sensational purse! I don't even care if there's nothing inside and it's simply a prop, I, too, would bring it on [4] the red carpet rather than hand it to my assistant while I strike a pose.
Gigi is probably well aware that not every outfit requires a bag, but in this case, it sealed the deal and helped put her signature street-style-cool stamp on a sophisticated outfit before heading into the event.
