Want to win the bag Charli XCX wore over her shoulder during her “360” performance on “Saturday Night Live” last night? The Grammy-nominated “Brat” artist was the host on “SNL” and musical guest, he appeared on the green stage wearing a vintage Lou Reed “New York” graphic concert T-shirt and an R&M Leathers buckle. Belt, ruffled miniskirt, Jimmy Choo x Jean Paul Gaultier cuff boots, Givenchy Give Cut Shield sunglasses, and a black Gucci Jackie large shoulder bag from the luxury fashion label’s Fall 2024 collection.
While fans were confused by Charlie’s decision to perform with a handbag (it’s so “brat”), we thought the designer bag choice was the most shocking of the live performances, or extremely confusing. I should say that there is – I found out that it is a part.
Last week, paparazzi photographed Charlie leaving New York City’s Bowery Hotel with a purse that looked more like Julia than Jackie O. Acne Studios Multi-Pocket Bag (This makes sense since Charlie is the new face of the brand). Charlie is wearing it too Khaite Elena studded suede bag One of her “SNL” skits felt more on-brand for a pop princess. So why did the “Sweat” touring singer opt for a more streamlined designer shoulder bag (even if it comes with a sparkly rope accent, giving it her own twist)?
Until earlier this month’s LACMA Art + Film Gala hosted by Gucci, Charli hadn’t appeared at all of the Italian fashion house’s “Brat Summers,” but perhaps this event was just the beginning of a new relationship with Sabato de Sarno. I didn’t. A brand that leads.
As mentioned on a recent episode of “The Zane Lowe Interview,” Charli already has several projects in the works and wants to focus on her acting career. Is this the beginning of a style evolution that emphasizes Old Hollywood elegance rather than clubwear classics? Charlie’s black corset ensemble by Dilara Findikoglu in the opening monologue of “SNL” is the same as Autotune’s If it’s any indication of what to expect from the diva, don’t be surprised to see her dress less Von Dutch and more Gucci.
If Kamala Harris and Martha Stewart can be considered “brats,” who’s to say Jackie Kennedy wasn’t? After all, “Brat” is just a vibe, right?
