Last time, I introduced several amazing crystal clutches celebrities used on the red carpet, today, I will share more celebrities and their novelty crystal clutches, you can also learn some outfit tips from them if you also decide to take such one bag.
Urvashi Rautela attending the Cannes 2025 with a bold parrot-shaped crystal clutch, she wearing a high-end tailor-made gown.
Her styling is a very typical combination of Maximalism and Couture. The gown itself makes extensive use of colorful crystals, embroidery, and symmetrical motifs, giving off a strong sense of exotic ornamentation. Meanwhile, the crystal clutch in the shape of a parrot in her hand perfectly echoes the overall color scheme and elements, creating an effect of ‘integrated styling’. It’s not simply matching a bag with the outfit, but making the bag an integral part of the look, even the visual focal point.

At the 2023 Met Gala, Chloe Fineman and her crystal cat purse.
She is holding a crystal clutch in cat shape with a chain. Her overall look is a combination of Romantic Couture and lightly whimsical. The dress is made of soft pink glossy fabric that accentuates the feminine silhouette, while the large three-dimensional rose decorations on the shoulders bring drama and volume – a common ‘structure + floral’ language in haute couture. The cat-shaped purse is a playful design, but it is crafted with crystals, which matches the shimmer of the dress. The bag has a small size, which makes it more of an accent piece rather than dominating the visual focus.
Unlike the styling of Urvashi Rautela mentioned above, on Chloe Fineman, the dress remains the main focus, while the bag adds a touch of personality and charm. There is clear visual hierarchy and balance.

On the “Feud: Capote vs. The Swans” premiere red carpet, Naomi Watts wearing Givenchy Hate Couture with her Swan clutch.
Her styling is a combination of Themed Elegance and Old Hollywood Glam. Look at the overall outfit, she is wearing a black lace dress with clean lines that hug the body without being overly structured. Paired with red lips and short hair, it’s clearly a nod to Old Hollywood – a style defined by restraint, sophistication, and timeless femininity rather than visual excess. The real highlight is the swan-shaped crystal clutch in her hand, it strongly echoes the theme of the play. it makes the styling not just beautiful, but story-driven.

At the 2015 premiere of The Age of Adaline, Blake Lively wearing a red dress with a crystal fish clutch.
Here styling is a combination of Old Hollywood Glam and Romantic Drama. The red gown itself is highly visually striking. The lace see-through bodice paired with a feathered tiered skirt blends sensuality with theatricality. This design not only emphasizes the female silhouette but also creates layers through textural contrast – a classic red carpet approach of “eye-catching yet elegant.” Meanwhile, her vintage wavy hairstyle and soft makeup further reinforce the Old Hollywood Glam atmosphere, ensuring the overall impression never comes across as frivolous.
The crystal fish-shaped clutch is a clever choice, it carries a hint of fairy-tale whimsy and fluidity, subtly echoing the themes of “time, life, and flow” in the film The Age of Adaline. The bag’s small size and concentrated color keep it from competing with the gown’s dominance, instead serving as a delicate visual surprise.

At the premiere of “Hustlers” at the 2019 Toronto International Film Festival, Jennifer Lopez carried a cash-stack crystal clutch.
Here styling is a striking red carpet look that can be defined as a blend of Bombshell glamour and Couture-level drama.
The golden yellow deep-V gown uses a high slit and flowing draping to emphasize the female silhouette and presence, conveying a strong sense of power and luxury while delivering significant visual impact.
The cash-stack crystal clutch is the finishing touch, which is inspired by a stack of cash, not only visually harmonizes with the gold tones of the gown but also directly echoes the film’s core themes of money and desire, elevating the look from mere beauty to a narrative-driven fashion statement. The gown sets the overall aura, while the bag provides a memorable talking point – the two elements form a clear primary-secondary relationship that mutually reinforces each other.

At Met Gala 2023, Ice Spice carried a camera crystal clutch bag.
At Met Gala 2019, Hailee Steinfeld carried a flash camera clutch.
At the Met Gala, Ice Spice and Hailee Steinfeld delivered strikingly contrasting looks using the same crystal camera clutch. Ice Spice opted for a form-fitting shimmering gown – her overall style can be defined as “Flash Icon Glam,” emphasizing curves, shine, and a sense of exposure. She raised the camera clutch to her eye, as if actively engaging with the lens, projecting the confidence and control of someone declaring, “I am the center of attention.” In contrast, Hailee Steinfeld wore a layered tulle gown featuring the words “No Photos Please,” creating a strong theatrical effect. Her style leans closer to “Statement Couture” – using exaggerated silhouettes and textual messaging to express attitude. With the camera clutch, she created an ironic twist: being both inside the frame while signaling a sense of detachment from overexposure.
Ice Spice’s main character flash glam: “Sensual + simple + one statement piece (the camera clutch)” – this is Ice Spice’s styling logic, and it’s something we can easily replicate. In contrast, Hailee’s look is more of a “to be admired” concept rather than something practical to recreate.
Elohor Aisien, attending Rita Dominic’s wedding, carrying a Martini crystal clutch.
A low-key yet highly sophisticated wedding guest style. She chose a black velvet dress, which looks elegant and somewhat vintage. The cinched waist and bow detail at the bust add softness and femininity to the overall silhouette. The martini-shaped crystal clutch is the visual focal point – adding a touch of playfulness while elevating the overall fashion quotient without compromising the overall sense of formality.
Martini Chic look: ideal for wedding after party and cocktail party. Keep the outfit simple and let the bag be the statement piece.
