Chanel 25 Small on the Red Carpet: How Margot Robbie and Jennie Style the New It-Bag
By Maya Lin-Takahashi
Achieving the right visual balance with a structured small bag requires careful attention to strap drop. Worn crossbody, the bottom edge of the Chanel 25 small should rest naturally just above the hip bone. Allowing it to fall past the mid-thigh disrupts the clean vertical line of tailored outerwear.
To recreate the effortless elegance modeled by Margot Robbie and Jennie, lean into proportion contrasts:
Combine the structured geometry of the quilted leather with loose, unstructured textures. An oversized cashmere sweater, fluid pleated trousers, and low-profile sneakers create an immediate modern counterbalance. For black-tie or cocktail events, pull the dual-strand chain entirely into the bag and carry it as an oversized architectural clutch, keeping the hardware hidden to emphasize the clean lines of an evening column dress.
