Jessica Chatain's stage door handbag marathon The Heiress star Jessica Chastain's extensive designer handbag collection has been making its Broadway debut. I can't believe I'm saying this, but depending on your lifestyle, having too many handbags could be an affliction (I would imagine). Forgetting the storage issues for a moment, all that constant relocating of life's essentials (Oyster card, purse, make-up bag, keys, mobile...) could lead to one being caught short should the transition not run smoothly. But such trivialities, of course, don't factor in the life of a Hollywood star with an endless supply of designer treats on offer, and a team of assistants on-hand to ensure such daily disasters are diverted. IN PICTURES: Jessica Chastain's 12-a-month handbag habit Jessica Chastain is a case in point. The Oscar-nominated actress who is currently starring on Broadway alongside dishy Dan Stevens (AKA Matthew Crawley R.I.P) in The Heiress, seems to have embarked upon something of a stage door handbag marathon this past month. Fair enough, it is a drag for an A-lister when the paps know exactly where to find you every day, and at exactly what time (particularly when there's no stylist on the payroll to make sure you look red carpet ready when you've just fallen out of bed/taken the dog for a walk). The pressure to break out a seamless succession of statement looks - no repetition, thank you, they'll shout abuse at you for that - is immense. So, what better way to distract from the fact that you've been wearing the same coat, jeans and boots for days on end than by toting a new designer handbag every day? Chastain's role as the face of Yves Saint Laurent's new fragrance 'Manifesto' has obviously guaranteed a hotline to Hedi Slimane's accessory team, as her stage door looks frequently revolve around something ultra-desirable from Paris. But her entire arm candy arsenal stars many of the leading lights of the handbag world - Prada, Proenza Schouler, Ralph Lauren, Emilio Pucci, Marni - to name but a few. In fact, I've counted 12 different designer bags since the play opened in early December. Jessica, if you're looking for a new best friend or grateful beneficiary of your last season cast-offs, you know where to find me.
