Who said ludicrously capacious bags were only reserved for the Burberry owners among us? Lily Collins arrived in Venice, Italy today, where she favored a mammoth Balenciaga bag instead of a suitcase.
The actor, who is resuming Emily in Paris season 5 filming duties in the northern Italian city, opted for a neutral travel outfit. Over a black crewneck tee, Collins wore a nude button-up shirt with a popped collar and a sturdy gray Uniqlo drawstring chore coat. Keeping it comfortable on the bottom, she wore a pair of black joggers that tapered in at the ankle and a pair of dusty brown Adidas Handball Spezials. (After touching down in Venice, Collins swiftly transformed into her alter ego, slicking back her chin-length bob, swiping on a vampy lip, and donning a polka-dot dress with a matching dupatta and dangling rhinestone earrings.)
Collins added some feminine accessories to her unisex outfit, zhuzhing it up with a pair of sepia toned cat-eye sunglasses and gold hoop earrings. In one hand, she carried a brown raffia bucket hat—which she recently wore to Wimbledon—and in the crook of her elbow, Collins toted a black Balenciaga City bag with black hardware to boot. The actor opted for the purse’s largest size, clocking in at nearly a foot tall and just over a foot-and-a-half wide. Capacious? Certainly. Ludicrously so? We think not.
Her look was a far cry from Emily Cooper’s maximalist wardrobe, filled with brightly colored power suiting, loud prints, and clashing galore. But surely Lily Collins and her character could both agree that a massive City bag makes for a very fashionable travel tote.
