Naomi Watts' DeMellier bag is loved by a long list of celebrities, here's why it's the perfect partywear companion
It's that time of year already
Very few handbag brands have built a star-studded clientele quite like DeMellier. Not only is its coveted New York Tote a firm favourite with A-listers, but its Stockholm shoulder bag, with its east-to-west design, has solidified itself as a must-have – and it's the best partywear accessory.
Naomi Watts was spotted in New York carrying the Stockholm bag in the sleek black leather version. With its elongated shape, streamlined profile, and compact design, this is one of the best designer handbags for transitioning from day to evening. Plus, with festive celebrations right around the corner, it's ideal for pairing with fabulous party dresses.
She styled the bag with a glamorous jacquard dress by Balmain featuring an eye-catching mix of green and violet metallic detailing. Polka dot tights and buttery yellow heels bring a playful flair to her look whilst sculptural bronze earrings and large square sunglasses finish it off.
