Jennifer Lopez and Dua Lipa Love This Versatile Bag Style & I Found a $19 Lookalike – InStyle

Metals aren’t going anywhere anytime soon; With celebrities like Anne Hathaway, Katie Holmes, Amal Clooney and Martha Stewart embracing this head-turning trend, it’s hard to discredit its relevance. A new generation of stars like Kylie Jenner, Kaia Gerber and Zendaya are also leaning into the disco ball-inspired style, proving how timeless the look is — and Dua Lipa has only reinforced my point.

While in New York, Lipa wore an outfit that included a faded denim jacket, a long slit skirt, sheer tights and knee-high Bottega Veneta boots. She threw on a pair of black sunglasses and held on to the silver Gucci Horsebit Chain shoulder bag, worth $3,490, which isn’t much if you compare it to a Birkin bag of $12,450… but for me, it’s a Really pretty penny.

Speaking of Birkin bags, Jennifer Lopez (who almost always has one on hand) is also on board the shiny handbag train. In a Coach campaign, the singer posed with a super glitzy Tabby handbag and flaunted it again at New York Fashion Week. Not only is it very similar to this Coach Tabby bracelet, but her choice of style demonstrates just how remarkable a sparkly handbag can be.

Motleader Metallic Shoulder Bag

Whether you opt for a $19 Motleader lookalike or an $84 JW Pei version, it will sparkle under the light and cast a gorgeous glow. This effect instantly makes any outfit more glamorous, making jeans, t-shirts and even sneakers a key piece to play on; However, futuristic bags also work well with elegant dresses, sophisticated kitten heels, and billowing maxi skirts. The secret is to style around the bag and not against it.

That said, I would go so far as to say that metals are replacing neutrals. Sure, classic black bags and white purses aren’t going anywhere, but shiny silver is more versatile than you think; it coordinates with the bright colors of spring and summer, stands out against darker shades and adapts to its surroundings with a mirror finish. Metallic silver further combines features that are both bold and timeless, making the style ideal for a multitude of aesthetics.
