The right bag can help you to do a lot of things. Nail a date night look, impress your boss or complete your #OOTD.

But there are just so many options out there to choose from, how do you even know where to begin for the actual ‘must-buy’ bag? If every bag is reported to be a must-buy, do we really buy them all? Our salaries simply won’t stretch THAT far.

That’s why we’ve turned to the stars for some help. From the adorable to the ultra feminine, consider this your cheat sheet on the latest splurge-worthy options to own. Scroll through our gallery to find out what the celebs are obsessed with now.

The letter F can mean a lot of different things to different people; fabulous, fantastic, fancy... But for the truly stylish crowd, F means Fendi.

The same letter is being inverted and used on the Fendi Kan I F crossbody, as carried here by Taiwanese actress Ady An.

The bag’s simple structure and design assures you that it’s going to be an investment-worthy bag and you’ll see yourself carrying now and in the years to come.

Because of its fanciful and standout embellishments, a lot of eyes will be on the Gucci Sylvie when you’re carrying it.

That means you’ll want to make sure that you still own the look. How? Learn from wisecracker Dee Hsu who carries it with an air of nonchalance against a blank canvas of her plain white tee.

She knows when to fight it and when to step back and let the accessories do all the talking.

If you’re not a fan of monograms, skip to the next slide now. But if you’re all about the logos, then this one’s for you.

Plastered with one of the most famous fashion logos, this crossbody (carried by Fan Bing Bing) is definitely one of the most instantly recognisable bags and it needs no introduction (well, unless you’re not into fashion of course).

Speaking of Instagram-worthy designs, we’re absolutely in love with this Valentina bag by British designer Lucinda “Lulu” Jane Guinness.

It features a peekaboo opening at the top; expand it to reveal its zip that’s hidden as a bright red lip.

Florals for fall? Yes, it’s totally legit. Taiwanese singer Selina carries a brightly-lit bag that instantly lifts mood with its pretty and bold blossoms.

The pink and red combination also makes this bag an extra ladylike option for your date nights.

If you find that most evening bags are just too darn small to hold all of your belongings (yes, two spare lipsticks are a necessity, thank you), consider the Chloe Drew bag carried here by Rebecca Lim.

It’s roomy enough to keep most of your essentials; anything bigger and it’ll pull all attention away from you (no, you won’t want that). Its black and white colourway makes it an incredibly easy to match combo with both your work and weekend attires.

Granted – an all-black outfit is our lazy day attire; it's the simplest ensemble that requires minimum thinking (meaning you’ll get an extra 15 minutes to snooze in the morning).

We love how Julie Tan has opted for a Chanel Boy in black. This bag is the perfect go-to for almost every occasion: work, play, galas, dates…in short, it’s the bag to buy now and carry forever.

Designers can be inspired by anything and everything. In the case of British fashion designer Anya Hindmarch, we’ve learned that she knows how to inject a dose of fun into her designs with quirky touches like funny faces and furry details.

After all, as Cyndi Lauper puts it, “Girls just wanna have fun!” We can't agree more.
