Selena Gomez Trades Longchamp’s Le Pliage for the Looong Shoulder Bag

Between the storied Le Pliage and the up-and-coming Le Smart, celebrities certainly have an affinity for Longchamp’s bigger bags. But that’s not to say they skip past the brand’s more compact styles. On September 17, Selena Gomez didn’t just protest the “no white after Labor Day” rule. She shone the street style spotlight on one of Longchamp’s most underrated designs.

While en route to speak at the 2026 Fast Company Innovation Festival, the Rare Beauty founder showcased her latest (and first non-black) New York City look of the week. Her stylist, Erin Walsh, dressed her in a mock-neck bell-sleeve blouse, an asymmetrical pencil skirt, and pointy Gianvito Rossi pumps. From there, she shade-matched the calf-length skirt—and its buttoned drapery—to Longchamp’s Looong Shoulder Bag. (Yes, that is its actual name.)

This take on the east-west bag trend comes in five shades, ranging from chocolate brown and cobalt blue to Gomez’s creamy “Vanilla” color. The slim buckled strap and surprisingly spacious rectangular body (inspired by the silhouette of a horseback saddle) make it the perfect going-out purse. Better yet, the buckled band is removable, transforming the already accessible style into a grab-and-go clutch.

For the rest of her finishing touches, Gomez accessorized with black sunglasses, diamond hoop earrings and, of course, her Abril Barret engagement ring.
