A Novelty Chanel Camera Bag Is Blake Lively's Plus-One at an 'Another Simple Favor' Screening
Method dressing is alive and well.


Anyone can buy a standard Chanel Flap bag—well, anyone with a posh sense of style and several thousand dollars to spare. Not everyone, however, can obtain the house's more rare novelty designs. That's an honor bestowed only on a lucky few.
Rihanna, for example, considers a quilted twin Chanel style—which features two conjoined, coordinating bags—her most unique find. Blake Lively is also among the elite, having showed off her new novelty handbag at a London press call on April 15.
This week marked the beginning of Lively's latest press tour to promote her new film Another Simple Favor. The Simple Favor sequel takes place in Capri, Italy—a historic coastal town known for its Sfusato Amalfitano lemons. Lively embraced the sun-soaked vibe for her latest event, carrying several novelty accessories that aligned with the European summer aesthetic.
Blake Lively wears head-to-toe Chanel for Another Simple Favor press call.
The actor wore Chanel from head to toe, self-styling a boxy cardigan sweater with a leather mini skirt and matching boots. Even among such strong pieces, a clear hero emerged. Lively carried a quilted cross-body bag from Chanel's Spring/Summer 2024 collection, which was shaped like an old-school camera.
She styled her look with a novelty bag shaped like a camera.
Her whimsical add-ons only multiplied from there. In her hair, Lively pinned several diamond-encrusted flowers, as well as a velvet bow topped with glimmering pearls. A fistful of chunky rings and glitzy earrings shaped like lemon wedges completed the heiress-on-vacation look.
Lively also wore flower hair clips and lemon wedge earrings.
Referencing her latest project with literal outfits and accessories is a Blake Lively speciality. While attending premieres for It Ends With Us throughout 2024, the actress nodded to her character's work as a florist in a bouquet of petal-covered looks by Versace Couture, Tory Burch, and Dauphinette. One glittery standout, a skintight archival Versace find, was previously worn by Britney Spears.
Looks like method dressing is still alive and well in 2025—at least on any red carpet where Lively has top billing.
