Jennifer Lopez Left Her Hermès Bags at Home in Exchange for a Compact Crossbody — a Bag Style Also Carried by Oprah

Taylor Swift and Meghan Markle own versions of them, too

Jennifer Lopez just threw us a style bone — and we will definitely bite. 

On October 18, the Maid in Manhattan actress wore a cozy fall shirt and skirt set, clear heels, and a cute crossbody bag to boot. This was especially noteworthy since the 55-year-old has a track record for carrying extremely pricey handheld bags like Hermès Birkins and Kellys, one of which costs at least $70,000 and almost all of which are roomier than her compact choice this time around. 

This isn't the first time either: She carried a burgundy version with fringe last month and also accessorized with a brighter red bag in August. So, perhaps this is the start of a style switch for the star.

Jennifer Aniston, Oprah, Taylor Swift, Meghan Markle, and Sarah Jessica Parker also sport the fuss-free bag style, so we went searching for similar styles that are nowhere near the price of a designer bag — shop our favorites from $18.

Lopez’s go-to appears to be a flap bag, much like this one. It’s also round around the edges, though it has a faux leather strap instead of a metal one, which we think would be much more comfortable in the long run anyways. There’s also a built-in wallet, so you can cut down on the bulk and weight.

There were slimmer pickings for suede-like bags, but this one from The Sak is a real catch. The soft fabric, which celebs are leaning into, is “really soft yet sturdy” and holds a lot “without looking like it's overstuffed,” according to one shopper. It’s also like Jennifer Lawrence’s banana bag in many ways, but mainly, it can be worn as two hands-free styles — a crossbody or a belt bag.

A big bag is convenient for the beach or pool, but when rushing through the airport security line, it can be more stressful than helpful — especially when the terminals are ultra-crowded. (Hello, holidays.) For organizational purposes, this Fossil bag has four pockets, one of which can be designated for a passport, I.D., and cell phone, so the whole traveling process can go much smoother.

Plus, it should last a long time: “I had this exact bag for many years, and it finally wore out and was unusable,” said one shopper. Meanwhile, a second person claimed, “This is my third Fossil bag in about 30 years. They last a long time.”
