2025 Golden Globes Fantasy Red Carpet: Nicole Kidman, Selena Gomez, Jeremy Allen White and More

While Jacob Elordi may be grabbing headlines for his facial hair lately, debuting a full beard at the Marrakech Film Festival earlier in the month, it's what he has dangling from his arm, not his chin, that typically garners attention.

The "Euphoria" and "Priscilla" star has emerged as young Hollywood's unofficial ambassador for the "murse," so much so that in May, Bottega Veneta officially made him an ambassador. As such, Elordi carries the Italian brand's minimally skewed designs most often. But with creative director Matthieu Blazy soon departing to head up Chanel, could Elordi do the same and trade in his "intrecciatos" for interlocking double C's?

Elordi is no stranger to Chanel. The French house recently cast him opposite "Wuthering Heights" costar Margot Robbie in its latest ad for No. 5 perfume, and while Blazy will no doubt introduce new bag lines to Chanel's arsenal, there are already a few styles the actor might take a liking to.

For starters, Elordi doesn't shy away from a ladylike top-handle. He was one among a few celebrities from Kylie Jenner to A$AP Rocky who catapulted Bottega's Andiamo bag to "It" status after paparazzi caught him with one last year leaving an L.A. coffee shop dressed casually in sneakers and gym shorts. Although Chanel's version, dubbed "Coco" after Gabrielle Chanel's nickname, has a classic flap closure instead of an open top like the Andiamo, it does come with a similar shoulder strap, which Elordi finds useful for juggling iced matcha drinks.

The actor also has a bit of humor where accessories are concerned. Front row at the Bottega Veneta runway show in Milan recently, he personalized a red suede Andiamo, with a quirky charm in the shape of his dog Layla, and previously, Elordi sported the brand's limited-edition collaboration tote with New York-based bookseller The Strand, essentially a couture-level shopping bag made of leather.

Such novelties have played a key role in Chanel's assortment since Karl Lagerfeld's tenure (quilted ankle monitor cases, anyone?), and something Blazy is too skilled at not to carry forward. His first collection doesn't bow until October, but in the interim, the in-house team offered metal birdcages on chains for spring 2025 that would certainly score Elordi points with collectors.

It's unlikely that he would go that extravagant, however. After all, Elordi's bag of choice seems to be a more functional demure crossbody. He's been spotted toting around versions from the likes of Burberry, Celine and even Chanel once at a dinner thrown by the house during last year's Venice Film Festival. The tweedy-looking classic flap he chose was a great introduction, but we'd like to see him try something less demure.

Should his relationship with Chanel strengthen in the new year, Elordi could take the 19 bag out for a spin -- it's an equally cushiony alternative to Bottega's padded Cassette -- or he might borrow styling cues from Chanel's Métiers d'Art show in Hangzhou, China, piling two bags on top of one another. It would give him a head start on the "chaotic customization" trend gripping the Gen-Z market and in return, might even heighten Chanel's clout with a younger male audience.
