The $130 Madewell Bag Hollywood Is Obsessed With
When not one, not two, but three celebrities all own the same affordable bag, you know it has to be good. And you can bet that Madewell's Small Transport Crossbody Bag ($128) definitely is. Lea Michele, Jessica Alba, and Billie Lourd are all fans of the versatile style, and we can definitely see why. Available in four different perfect colors, you can carry the bag with either top handles or the long crossbody strap, making it the ultimate everyday bag.
Michele styled hers with the ultimate classic combo: all-black pieces with jeans. Alba, who's currently expecting her third child, opted for the light pink version and chose coordinating pastel pieces, while Lourd finished off her casual Gucci-and-leggings look with the same bag in black. Thanks to this trio of celebs, we're tempted to buy one in every color.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 14 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Kate and Meghan stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible.
