Oversized purses seem to be the latest trend among celebrities, as Rihanna and Cardi B have both been spotted carrying massive bags during their recent outings. Rihanna made heads turn when she brought a comically large fur purse to dinner at an Italian restaurant in Santa Monica. The Saint Laurent Niki chain tote she carried was so big that it was dubbed a “ludicrously capacious bag” by a Reddit user.
Rihanna paired the eye-catching purse with an oversized white button-down shirt, which she tucked into light-wash jeans. To complete her look, she wore calf-high leopard-print slouch boots and layered silver jewelry. Her hair was styled in carefree curls, giving her outfit a nostalgic vibe reminiscent of 2012. It’s unclear whether her boyfriend, A$AP Rocky, and their two sons, RZA and Riot, were with her for the outing, but her oversized tote would certainly make for a great diaper bag.
Interestingly, Cardi B also jumped on the oversized purse trend when she visited Disneyland Paris with her family. She carried an extra-large silver Chanel travel bag, which retails for over $12,000 on the resale market. Cardi concealed her baby bump with a black floral-print halter-top maxi dress, surprising everyone with the news that she had given birth to her third child with her estranged husband Offset just last weekend. The hip-hop star announced her pregnancy in August, shortly after filing for divorce.
Both Rihanna and Cardi B are known for taking fashion risks and pushing boundaries with their style choices. Their oversized purses not only make a bold fashion statement but also serve as functional accessories. These celebrities prove that bigger is better when it comes to handbags, and it seems that the trend is catching on among fashion-forward individuals. So, if you’re looking to make a statement with your outfit, consider adding an oversized purse to your ensemble.
