Han So-hee’s Cannes Airport Fashion: Alaïa Bag + Boucheron Sepenta Onyx
Han So-hee’s Cannes Airport Fashion: Alaïa Bag + Boucheron Sepenta Onyx
Han So-hee was spotted at the airport this week on her way to the Cannes Film Festival, and as expected, she did not miss. White halter, black pants, the bag everyone is now Googling — and a layered stack of jewelry that’s already on the waitlist at Boucheron. Here’s the breakdown.
The look itself is clean, polished, and quietly elegant — a white halter-neck top paired with tailored black pants, finished with a long, narrow black shoulder bag. The kind of monochrome combo that sounds boring on paper but is somehow always the most pulled-together look at the airport.
From a different angle, you can see how meticulously the proportions are dialed in — the cropped halter sits exactly where the high waist of the trousers picks up, and the long bag echoes the line of the silhouette.
It feels deliberate — clean lines, no logos, no extras. Very “I have somewhere to be and that somewhere is Cannes.”
The Twist: Alaïa, Not Dior
Here’s what got everyone talking. Han So-hee is currently a Dior brand ambassador — so when she picked up that sleek minimalist shoulder bag, most people assumed it was Dior. It is not.
The bag is the Alaïa Arketell Medium, a baguette-style shoulder bag from the Parisian house. For an ambassador to skip her own brand for an airport moment this visible is genuinely interesting — and a quiet flex on her personal style autonomy. She doesn’t usually go heavy on logo bags at the airport in general, so the surprise pick lands as more “I love this piece” than “I’m making a statement.”
The Bag: Alaïa Arketell Medium
The Arketell Medium has been on a quiet rise — already carried by a steady lineup of international celebrities, even before Han So-hee picked one up. It’s a long, horizontal baguette silhouette, completely unadorned, with the structured minimalism Alaïa has been leaning into hard lately.
No logo, no hardware drama, no embellishment. Just architectural lines and great leather. That’s the entire pitch — and apparently it works, because the waitlist is real.
Because the shape is so pared back, it slips under any kind of styling: tailored pieces like Han So-hee’s airport look, denim, slip dresses, oversized blazers. It’s the rare “investment bag” that genuinely earns the “wear with everything” label.
Price: approximately $3,077 USD (₩4,000,000 KRW).
The Jewelry: Boucheron Sepenta Onyx
Han So-hee is also a Boucheron ambassador, and she came through with the brand’s new Sepenta Onyx line on full display — necklaces layered XS over S, plus a single stud earring, a bracelet, and a ring. The onyx stone, only recently added to the Sepenta family, becomes the look’s dark anchor against the white halter.
The earring is the Sepenta Bohème Double Motif Single Stud — minimal but commanding, and the kind of single-statement piece that pulls a whole look together. The onyx adds depth that diamonds alone can’t match.
The bracelet is the Sepenta Bohème Double S Motif — half onyx, half pavé diamonds — and the ring is the Sepenta Bohème S Motif. Stacked together with the layered necklaces, the whole stack reads expensive in the way Boucheron does best: structurally elegant, never loud. Per Korean fashion press, several of these pieces are reportedly on waitlist.
The Takeaway
Monochrome halter + tailored pants + a long, clean shoulder bag — it’s a formula that travels well, photographs well, and reads as effortlessly chic without trying too hard. Han So-hee made it look easy, which is the whole point.
