Unveiling the Must-Have Designer Bag: The Season's Obsession of Sofia Richie, Elsa Hosk, and Angelina Jolie!

The word 'chic' has become something of a fashion buzzword, tossed around like a confetti at a New Year’s Eve party—everyone uses it, but not everyone knows how to style it. Yet, in a world teeming with self-proclaimed fashion aficionados, a trio of women can wear the label without a hint of irony: Angelina Jolie, Sofia Richie Grainge, and Elsa Hosk. When these A-listers grace the scene sporting the same accessory, you’d better believe we’re all on high alert for it this season.

Take Sofia Richie, who recently dazzled us with the quintessential transitional weather outfit: a boxy black leather jacket, roomy wide-leg trousers, and a pair of non-UK-friendly black flip-flops. But wait, the real showstopper here is her Saint Laurent Y Tote bag in 'Brick', retailing at an eye-watering £2,900. This bag isn’t just a pretty face; it features an understated Y-shaped stitch borrowed from the archives, a reliable top handle, and a hook closure. The silhouette is timeless, versatile, and, frankly, you could use it all year round—even when you're just making a trip to the grocery store.

Despite only being birthed into the world of fashion this November, the Y Tote has become an instant favorite among the A-list elite, which, let’s be honest, makes it practically a one-way ticket to chicdom. Model and fashion muse, Elsa Hosk, has taken the bag to new heights. She once said, “When it comes to elevating any outfit, accessories are key.” And boy, did she put that to the test! Imagine a pair of grey sweatpants, turned from drab to fab with brown leather flats, a Hermès Birkin, and that beloved oversized Saint Laurent tote, all in heavenly shades of caramel—and let’s not forget her matching manicure that practically tells the world, “I woke up like this!”

Then there’s Angelina, pairing her tote with a long black jacket and court heels—because why not bring that extra glam to a regular Tuesday? Iris Law took a more ethereal approach, donning a satin cami top and jeans that screamed ‘effortless chic’. Meanwhile, Bella Hadid, Laura Harrier, and Zoë Kravitz have all been spotted gracing the streets in varying iterations of the chic black leather version, proving that understated street style is, in fact, the new black.

As for me, I’m doing a little happy dance (think of it as the less coordinated version of a runway walk), celebrating the grand return of the oversized bag silhouette. Gone are the days of constraints! From now on, I’ll be toting around ballet flats for those last-minute shoe swaps, a portable makeup station, a cozy jumper for the unpredictable end-of-night chill, and of course, a big bottle of water—or, let’s be real, a little wine depending on the soirée. Because if we can’t carry a little comfort and a lot of style with us, then what’s the point of fashion at all?
