Lily Collins Turns Heads in Venice With Oversized Balenciaga Bag
Lily Collins has once again managed to blend her own understated personal style with the bold, playful energy of her Emily in Paris character, but this time she did it off-screen—and with a bag that’s almost impossible to ignore.

The actress was spotted arriving in Venice, Italy, where filming for season five of Emily in Paris has resumed. Instead of the usual rolling suitcase most travelers carry, Collins opted for a massive Balenciaga City bag. And when I say massive, I mean it—the version she carried measured nearly a foot tall and just over a foot and a half wide. It was less handbag and more like a chic travel tote, roomy enough to hold everything from a script to a pair of shoes and maybe even a second outfit.
Her arrival look, though casual, had that polished yet practical edge that Collins often favors when she’s not dressed as Emily Cooper. She wore a black crewneck tee layered under a nude button-up shirt with the collar popped, then threw on a sturdy gray Uniqlo chore coat for a touch of structure. On the bottom, she kept it comfortable with tapered black joggers and finished the look with a pair of dusty brown Adidas Handball Spezials. Accessories softened the otherwise unisex outfit: sepia-toned cat-eye sunglasses, gold hoop earrings, and a raffia bucket hat casually carried in her hand.
Of course, it didn’t take long before Collins switched gears and transformed back into Emily Cooper. After touching down, she slicked back her chin-length bob, applied a bold vampy lip, and slipped into a polka-dot dress paired with dangling rhinestone earrings. The contrast between her pared-down airport look and Emily’s maximalist, pattern-clashing wardrobe was stark, but the oversized Balenciaga bag managed to work for both versions of Collins.
What’s fun here is how the bag itself seems to act like a character. On set, Collins was photographed holding the L’Alingi Marina Bag—a limited-edition raffia purse that perfectly suited Emily’s breezy summer style. But when she stepped away from the cameras, it was her personal Balenciaga Le City bag that redefined the vibe entirely. Suddenly, Emily’s playful polka dots leaned more sophisticated, more urban chic.
It’s a reminder of how much power accessories hold in shaping an outfit. A swap of handbags can flip a look from quirky day-out-in-Italy to commanding, fashion-forward city chic. And in Lily’s case, it also showcases the clear difference between her own minimalist sporty sensibilities and the loud, colorful persona of Emily Cooper.
So, whether she’s gliding along a Venetian bridge in costume or making her way through an airport, Lily Collins proves one thing: the right bag can carry not just belongings, but an entire mood.
