Rosie Huntington-Whiteley Wore 2024's It Bag to Victoria Beckham's Birthday
There wasn't a single guest at Victoria Beckham's 50th birthday party in London that didn't show out in the style department. The lady of the hour wore a sheer, seafoam-green gown from her own spring/summer 2024 collection; her daughter Harper donned an elegant, floor-length silk slip; and each of the Spice Girls went with their individual takes on black-tie formal. (Yes, there was a reunion, and yes, it was perfect.) The look from the event that stuck with me the most, however, was Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's, and it has a lot to do with the bag slung casually over her shoulder.
To celebrate her friend's big day at Oswald's in Mayfair, the model and entrepreneur joined her husband Jason Statham at the party, choosing a baby-pink Alaïa halter dress that features a completely sheer skirt and '80s-inspired high-cut bodysuit underneath. The dress was shown on the runway in July 2023 on a footbridge across the Seine in Paris. It's a work of art, yet my eyes went straight to her white shoulder bag instead. Called the Le Teckel, Huntington-Whiteley's bag is one of 2024's most-wanted purses, probably only second to heavy hitters like Hermès's Birkin and Kelly or The Row's Margaux. They sold out completely weeks ago but have since started trickling back in at stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue and Bergdorf Goodman and on Alaïa's own website.
Huntington-Whiteley is one of an elite few who've gotten their hands on one among the celebrity set, with the east-west shoulder bag fit with two long straps also showing up on Rihanna and Julianne Moore. Now that colors are starting to become available again, I get the feeling that there will be a lot more sightings where those come from very soon. Below, see her look and shop the Le Teckel bags that are available for purchase today.

Laura Harrier has carried a version of this bag in practically every street style photo I've seen of her this year.
This is another highly sought-after handbag in 2024. It also sold out, but Bergdorf is taking pre-order requests.
Emily Ratajkowski is a big fan of Loewe's Squeeze bag, as are Sienna Miller and Greta Lee. Need I say more?
For a while there, Katie Holmes was toting this Toteme bag around on a regular basis.
I saw Jasmine Tookes talking about buying this clutch on TikTok, and ever since, I haven't been able to stop thinking about it.
Not only is this bag perfect for lugging around everything you own in the chicest way possible, but it's also Kylie Jenner approved.
