Kelly Rutherford Wore the Bag Brand Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle Both Love
If there's one character from the original Gossip Girl whose fashion sensibilities still fit with today's style, it's Lily van der Woodsen. The über-elegant Upper East Sider favored classic, timeless pieces and monochrome outfits and epitomized quiet luxury before it was even a closely tracked trend. So it's hardly a surprise that Kelly Rutherford's personal style continues to reflect much of her character's supremely chic sensibilities, even a decade after the original series finale.
And if Rutherford's latest look featuring a very UES-appropriate crossbody bag wasn't enough to pique your attention, consider this: Strathberry, the British brand behind the design, is also favored by both Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle.
Keep reading to see how Rutherford styled Strathberry's caramel Mosaic Nano bag. Then shop a few more of our favorite pieces from the brand, including a raffia basket tote that's absolutely perfect for summer weekends in the Hamptons—you know you still love it. Right, Gossip Girl?

Strathberry's East/West shoulder bag is a timeless classic in both black and brown.
Hobo styles aren't "classic," but you can count on them making a comeback every few fashion cycles.
The same goes for saddle bags, which, for an equestrian like Lily van der Woodsen, are a must-have.
