Dua Lipa Takes an Oversized Chanel Bag Through JFK

Dua Lipa was spotted at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport carrying a Chanel bag large enough to replace the usual airport carry-on.

The singer was photographed at JFK on Thursday, August 13, wearing a casual outfit that includes a black-and-white striped quarter-zip sweater, straight-leg blue jeans and black boots. She accessorised with angular sunglasses, simple hoop earrings and wired headphones.

Her Chanel bag was the standout piece. The oversized basket bag is made from raffia and features nautical navy, white and red stripes, sturdy black leather straps and large black interlocking Chanel Cs on the side.

The bag comes from Chanel’s Cruise 2027 collection, which was presented in Biarritz in April. The collection drew on the French Riviera and the fashion house’s seaside heritage, with the show featuring beach-inspired pieces and accessories including seashell jewellery, oversized straw baskets and swim caps.

Lipa’s bag appeared as Look 25 on the Chanel runway. For the show, it was paired with a loose linen buttoned tunic and matching shorts with multicoloured panels, finished with black-and-white striped glove heels.

The oversized accessory fits naturally into the singer’s recent holiday wardrobe, which has included Chanel looks alongside prairie dresses from Helsa and Dôen, peasant tops worn with bandanas, Tom Ford-era Gucci pieces, and bikinis from Oresee and Jacquemus. She has also spent time in Ibiza, Athens, Copenhagen, Rio and Italy this summer, including a trip around Italy with her husband, Callum Turner.

Lipa has since shifted some of her attention back to music. She has been spending time in New York recording new material at Electric Lady Studios in Greenwich Village, while also being spotted around the city, including riding Citi Bikes across the Brooklyn Bridge.

Her recent New York appearances have also included the premiere of One Night Only, the romantic comedy starring Turner, at the beginning of August. Before that, she attended the World Cup Finals in New Jersey, where she was photographed carrying another large Chanel bag.
