Lily James Debuted Prada's 2024 It Bag in the Departure Area of Milan's Airport
Lily James's impressive accessory game—which often includes a mix of Prada, Versace, and Chanel—doesn't hit pause just because she's traveling, or at least, it didn't on her most recent trip. Rather than opting for something a touch more practical for her flight back from Milan Fashion Week, she used the opportunity to debut one of 2024's most-wanted handbags: Prada's new Buckle Handbag.
The oversize, belt-embellished top-handle bag, which she wore in a cognac brown, was first seen on the runway at the Italian brand's S/S 24 show, making it highly sought after now that the season's offering is starting to trickle into stores after a long six or so months. James carried the largest size, which also comes in black, but there are also small and medium options, both of which are available in white as well.
In photos from James's jaunt through Milan Malpensa Airport's terminals, the bag appeared to be surprisingly practical for flight travel, and the Pam & Tommy star wore it with Prada cat-eye sunglasses, white sneakers, and a matching brown puffer and pair of relaxed trousers.
On Lily James: Prada Catwalk Oval Sunglasses ($517) and Buckle Large Leather Handbag With Belt ($6100)
Her appearance at the airport came just one day after she was seen at the Prada show alongside celebrities such as Emma Watson, Hunter Schafer, Letitia Wright, Yara Shahidi, and Emma Chamberlain. For the fall collection's debut, James wore a brown-and-blue distressed chore coat on top of an embellished, fringed dress. With the duo, she wore a pair of Prada's lauded point-toe satin mules and carried one of the brand's round Arqué bags, a style she's been seen with multiple times and in various colors in recent months.
