Ahh, the Oscars! There’s nothing like a good red carpet, and the 2013 Academy awards didn’t disappoint when it pertained to interesting evening bags. (Although, in our opinion, the clothes were better at the golden Globes.) Roger Vivier once again won the night, but there was a pleasurable amount of variation among the attendees.
One big trend that you nearly couldn’t escape was actresses who matched their clutches exactly to the color of their dresses. It’s a bit bridesmaid-y for my personal taste, but I mean that when you’re attending an event like the Oscars, you just want to get it as ideal as you can. in that spirit, we’ve collected below some ladies who did well with their handbag choices last night.
First, let’s ease into things with the greatest non-shocker of the evening: Marchesa co-founder Georgina Chapman carrying a Marchesa Crystal Minaudiere alongside her custom-made Marchesa maternity gown. shop Marchesa evening bags by means of Neiman Marcus.
The next least unusual thing about Sunday night’s handbags was how lots of stars selected Roger Vivier, including big winner Jennifer Lawrence. She paired her Dior Haute Couture gown with a silver Roger Vivier Boite de Nuit Clutch. shop Roger Vivier by means of MyTheresa.
Jennifer Garner also chose a Roger Vivier Boite de Nuit hold to match her grape Gucci dress. shop Roger Vivier by means of MyTheresa.
Chinese actress fan Bingbing chose a black Roger Vivier Pilgrim hold as a contrast against her magenta Marchesa ball gown. shop Roger Vivier by means of MyTheresa.
Actress Jenna Dewan-Tatum went with contast as well, choosing a blush Christian Louboutin Silk hold to opt for her black lace Rachel Roy gown, altered to accomodate her pregnancy. shop Christian Louboutin by means of Net-a-Porter.
A lot of stars went for matchy-matchy hold looks last night, like Jennifer Hudson with her blue Roberto Cavalli gown and Jimmy Choo Cosma Clutch. pick up the silver version for $1,595 by means of Nordstrom.
Jennifer Aniston also kept things tonal – her Valentino gown and Salvatore Ferragamo Box hold are a very close match. shop Salvatore Ferragamo by means of Neiman Marcus.
With how closely the color of Kerry Washington’s coral Prada Satin hold matches her Miu Miu dress, it wouldn’t surprise me if the company custom-made dyed it for her. pick up your own pink Prada satin hold for $650 by means of Neiman Marcus.
When you want to match, white on white is kind of a no-brainer – Queen Latifah looks radiant in her Badgley Mischka dress and matching Judith Leiber Streamline Minaudiere, which I wish Leiber would start making again. It’s my all-time favorite red carpet bag.
Shop Judith Leiber by means of Neiman Marcus.
Glowing Octavia Spencer also went for the neutral match, in this case with a Tadashi Shoji gown and Edie Parker Pearlized Clutch. shop Edie Parker by means of Neiman Marcus.
Between her scarlet David Meister dress and glittering tonal Swarovski Clutch, actress Marcia Gay Harden looked ravishing in red. shop by means of Swarovski.com.
Sandra Bullock also carried a Swarovski Clutch, although hers didn’t match her Elie Saab gown quite as carefully. shop by means of Swarovski.com.
Instead of matching colors, some actresses choose to match designers. Salma Hayek chose an Alexander McQueen Python Skull hold to complement her McQueen gown. (And that’s no coincidence – hubby Francois-Henri Pinault’s company owns McQueen.) Her bag can be yours for $2,315 by means of Neiman Marcus.
Elizabeth Banks, also in McQueen, carried an Alexander McQueen metal Skull hold to the Vanity fair after-party. pick up a similar piece for $1,995 by means of Neiman Marcus.
Jane Fonda, looking absolutely bangin’ in yellow Versace, selected a sparkly Jimmy Choo Claire Clutch. pick up the multicolor version for $7,000 by means of Jimmy Choo.
Lastly, there’s maybe the most popular red carpet bag of the entire bunch – little Quvenzhane Wallis and her tailor-made puppy purse. According to her, this one was made to look like her pup at home.
