Attending the launch party for her new Marks & Spencer X Sienna Miller capsule collection—set to launch online and in-store on October 31 2024—Sienna Miller stepped out in central London last night carrying the specific bag trend that I’ve seen celebrities reach for more than any other this season.
While brown suede bags and bowling styles have all roused attention this winter, it’s the animal print bag trend that celebrities are putting their money behind right now.
Adored by Miller, who carried a rich brown zebra print clutch for the evening event, the maximalist-approved accessory was neatly tucked underneath her arm and worn with a three-piece white suit and black satin heels. Adding a playful pop of print, without dominating nor overwhelming her look, Miller’s pretty pouch affirmed her excellent eye for style hasn’t gone anywhere.
Far from the only celebrity to reach for the growing trend, I’ve also seen Kate Moss style animal print bags on a number of occasions across 2024. Often favouring a sleek leopard print bag—as she has done since the ’90s—Moss has utilised the feline print to add interest and dimension to her daily outfits, all the while retaining her famously effortless edge.
Transcending style crowds this season, singer Olivia Rodrigo was also spotted out and about with a sleek zebra print bag over her shoulder. Wearing hers with a V-neck knit, a brown miniskirt and a pair of pull-on boots, Rodrigo testified to the outfit-enhancing ability of the elegant bag trend.
Installing a retro energy to an everyday look—the trend was a mainstay in the wardrobes of celebrities across the Nineties and early Noughts—2024’s revival of the trend has seen the bag styled with similarly low-key looks that somehow feel incredibly modern thanks to this key addition.
Woven into the wardrobe of model Hailey Bieber, who paired her Saint Laurent leopard print tote with a matching coat, the celebrity style set has officially confirmed that the animal print bag trend is one of the most important of the season.
Still in its infancy, I predict that this playful bag trend will stick around long beyond the winter months.
