Celebrities with Chanel Medium/Large (M/L) Classic Flap - Formal Edition

(Before I share my entry, I would like to say that I am incredibly saddened by the passing of Steve Jobs and have been reflecting upon it ever since I learned of it at around 5pm today. It may be because his passing hits close to home or because we just lost the Einstein of my generation or it could be.... Well I could go on and on but I truly admire Jobs because he loved what he did, did it well, and did it down to the very last moments of his life (he resigned barely 1.5 mths before passing away.) Jobs had an inkling for innovative, user-friendly products and he is going to be missed; Apple won't be the same. RIP Steve Jobs.)

If you are interested in seeing how celebs paired their Chanel m/l classic flap with casual outfits, check out the previous entry I wrote.

Jessica Biel
7th Heaven, when I see their happy faces, smiling back at me... Am I the only one who thinks of my favorite teenage tv series when I see Jessica? Love her, love the show! Back on topic, it's hard to see but Jessica is using a black m/l flap while she attends a show during Paris Fashion Week.

Celebrities with Chanel Medium/Large (M/L) Classic Flap - Casual Edition

I love the versatility of a Chanel Medium/Large (m/l) Classic Flap and how it transitions from day to night with little to no effort. And an added plus is that it is the original size flap that Coco Chanel herself carried, exciting!

As mentioned before in a few of the m/l classic flap entries I've composed, a m/l classic flap can be worn as  a messenger bag (if one is petite enough) with a single chain, a shoulder bag with the double chains), or as a clutch with the chains strewn across the wrist. Depending on how one uses it (and possibly the material), it works as a casual bag or an evening/formal bag.

I love seeing how celebrities use their classic flap and would love to share some of the pictures I've found on JustJared (thank you JJ for being my main pictorial source of celebrities and chanel bag!).  This entry will consist of the casual ways celebrities have used their m/l and my next entry will be the formal edition.

Amanda Seyfried

These pictures are from my previous entry (see more pics here).  Amanda gives a great example of how you can change the look of a m/l flap just by adjusting the strap from double to single.

Blake Lively

I can't tell if this is the same pink m/l flap as from this entry because this one looks a bit out of shape compared to the other one. (Upon closer inspection, this one looks patent.) She sure loves her pinks paired with white :D

Hilary Duff
Additional info in this entry. Hilary uses her m/l flap as a clutch to accessorize her hip night-out outfit. If she didn't have on the bangles, the chain from the flap could double as [temporary] bling for her wrist.

Alrighty, that concludes our casual edition of celebs with the m/l flap.  Stay tuned for the formal edition coming up!  Thanks for reading!
