Cynthia Erivo was recently seen in New York City with a remarkably large beige Birkin bag that almost appeared to defy gravity.
This isn’t just any Birkin; it was so sizable that one might wonder what exactly it held. I mean, could it be Elphaba’s iconic pointy hat? Or perhaps a spare pair—maybe even more—of those outrageous platform heels she’s fond of? Maybe even her “evil” counterpart, the diminutive Ariana Grande?
She paired the hefty bag with cuffed wide-leg jeans, a cozy gray cashmere cardigan, and an oversized brown leather jacket. It really reflects her unique style.
At about 21 inches tall, the bag is over a third of Erivo’s height without including her heels. It’s impressive to see someone of her stature manage such a statement piece.
Erivo, who stands at 5 feet, carries her designer accessory with effortless grace, though her silhouette does appear quite full. It doesn’t come off as empty or ridiculously spacious; it’s a true showstopper.
The actress’s look also included layered jewelry, featuring a mix of necklaces, earrings, and rings that combined both metals and gemstones, showcasing her flair for fashion.
What stood out the most, though, was that enormous beige Hermès Birkin 50 adorned with palladium hardware, resting from her arm to her knees.
One can’t help but speculate—could there be room for her two tiny pups, Caleb and Gigi, tucked inside the Birkin?
Hermès hasn’t disclosed specific prices for these bags, which vary based on materials and hardware. A vintage Birkin 50 similar to the one Erivo carried can fetch nearly $34,000.
This model is the largest Birkin bag produced by the brand. After all, who needs a witch’s broom or Toto’s basket when you can travel in style with such an extravagant accessory?
Perhaps the next time we spot her, those little dogs might just be making an appearance in that luxurious tote.
