Jessica Alba Carried a Compact Crossbody Bag from the Brand Behind Martha’s Stewart’s Go-To Accessory
The hands-free style is a repeat wear of Blake Lively’s, too
Jessica Alba recently stepped out in Los Angeles wearing a casual daytime outfit that emphasized function and comfort.
The mother of three kept a low profile in a pair of oversized cargo pants combined with a relaxed denim shirt layered over a basic beige T-shirt. And for accessories, the actress wore gold hoop earrings, tortoiseshell sunnies, and a gray baseball cap — but the standout was her sleek Bandolier Crossbody Bag.
Crossbody bags have been wildly popular among celebrities as of late, and it’s easy to understand why. They elegantly drape across the torso and keep your hands free, ideal when you’re running errands, strolling through town, or simply want to lighten your load.
The crossbody has endless options to choose from, but we’ve been admiring Alba’s style with its classic rectangular shape and sleek foldover flap detail for fall. And while her exact greige shade is no longer in stock, the black option is just as versatile and still available at the time of publication.
If the brand Bandolier sounds familiar, it’s likely because you’ve seen various bags from the AAPI-owned brand on Martha Stewart and Blake Lively, just a few of the stars who covet its cool phone crossbodies. In fact, Stewart recently told PEOPLE, “I use mine all the time,” in reference to her Hailey Crossbody Case.
