The countdown is on. The annual Met Gala returns on May 5th with its signature blend of couture, creativity, and unforgettable accessories. This year’s theme, Superfine Tailoring: Black Style, honors the elegance and cultural impact of Black dandyism, inspired by Monica L. Miller’s Slaves to Fashion.
It’s the biggest night in fashion and the right bag can make or break the look. While celebrities arrive with stylists and glam squads, Luxe Du Jour gives you something just as powerful: access to the designer bags seen on the steps of the Met. Let’s take a moment to admire the arm candy that turned heads at last year’s gala and how you can shop the look!

Bags Previously Spotted on the Met Ball Steps
The Met Gala is always a stage for fashion’s most iconic brands, and some of them are practically a guarantee on the red carpet. Chanel, for instance, is a go-to for stars who want to exude timeless elegance. Jessica Seinfeld kept it chic with a silver metallic mini, while Sudha Reddy made an impression with the white Camellia-shaped bag from the Fall/Winter 2023 collection—proof that Chanel never goes out of style.
But it’s not all about the classics. The 2024 Gala also featured bags that were as fresh and unexpected as the looks they accompanied. Chloé’s new Bracelet Handle bag, seen on Emma Mackey and Greta Gerwig, made its runway debut for Fall 2024 and added a modern, sculptural touch to the evening. Greta Lee kept things effortlessly cool with Loewe’s Mini Puzzle bag in white, the perfect balance of function and style. Michael Shannon had the most playful moment of all, showing up with a yellow Balenciaga Chip bag, proving that fashion can still be fun.
Bag Styles Expected To Be Seen This Met Gala 2025

1. Gucci Mini Calfskin Dionysus Top Handle
Top handle bags are a Met Gala mainstay, and this one delivers elegance with an edge. The calfskin finish is sleek and structured, while the signature Dionysus snake closure adds just the right amount of drama. It’s quiet luxury with a bite.

2. Louis Vuitton Damier Checkerboard Sac Plat XS
Tiny but iconic, this miniature take on Louis Vuitton’s classic Sac Plat is pure Met Gala energy. The checkerboard canvas adds a graphic edge, while the compact, structured shape makes it the kind of piece you’d pair with a bold silhouette or avant-garde tailoring.

3. Hermes Nata Vert Blanc Swift Lucky Daisy Picotin
There’s playful, and then there’s Picotin. With its soft, bucket-like silhouette and charming daisy detailing, this Hermès piece brings a breath of spring to even the most serious eveningwear. It’s structured whimsy, done the Hermès way.

4. Chanel Black Calfskin Embossed Graffiti Reissue Wallet on Chain (WOC)
For those who like their Chanel with a rebellious twist. The graffiti embossing gives this WOC an unexpected edge, making it the perfect pick for a fashion-forward Met Gala moment. Polished enough to pass inspection, but bold enough to stand out.

5. Chanel Mini White Lambskin About Pearls Bucket Bag
Pearls and Chanel—a match made in fashion heaven. This delicate mini bucket bag is adorned with pearl detailing that feels both modern and timeless. It’s the kind of piece that whispers elegance, even in a room full of couture.

6. Chanel Blue Lizard Round As Earth Bag
Rare, radiant, and refreshingly different. The round silhouette makes this exotic leather piece a true collector’s item. With its celestial shape and rich blue hue, it feels like carrying a little planet of luxury right in your hand.
