When you think of how celebrities travel—and I'm talking about the serious A-listers here—a few ideas might come to mind. Private jets, unlimited champagne and caviar on board, and security that definitely doesn't yell at them to remove their belts. This all might very well be true for some celebrities, but other celebrities are just like us—headin' to the airport with a big ol' bag designed to get the job done.

Sure, their suitcases may be packed to the brim with high-end toiletries and designer fashion, but I'm less interested in what celebrities are packing, and much more interested in what they're rolling alongside them. Don't expect to see these star athletes, actors, and musicians at the airport with a rickety old four-wheeler they bought online two days earlier.

So, which luggage brands pass the test of travel for the people who are traveling all the time (Dua Lipa, I'm looking at you)? Which styles are the essentials, the reliables, the fashionable—and more importantly, functional—bags and suitcases that can secure coveted celebrity-approved status? From an 80 dollar Herschel backpack to a nearly two-grand Rimowa suitcase, this is the luggage that our favorite A-listers are using.

#MY4810 Cabin Trolley

When you're keeping up with a jetsetter as prolific as Dua Lipa, you need a suitcase that's up to the task. And if you're looking for luxury luggage that won't fail you, you've come to the right place with Montnblanc's #MY4810 Cabin Trolley. This personalizable suitcase is made with lightweight polycarbonate and elevated through black leather trim. With several interior compartments and four wheels, you can keep this exactly where it should be: right alongside you.

Essential Cabin Lightweight Suitcase

A general rule I live by (or perhaps just a pattern that I've noticed) is that what Austin Butler has, I want. The actor always finds the balance between luxury and functionality, and that's exactly what Rimowa is. This carry-on is crafted from sturdy, lightweight polycarbonate, with TSA-approved locks and the smoothest roll you've ever felt.

Carry-On Suitcase

Much like Adrien Brody, I love my Away Carry-On. What's not to love? It's lightweight enough for easy overhead storage, and alongside 360-degree wheels, it features an interior compression system that allows you to pack bulky items with ease.

If anybody is going to want to move through the airport quickly and seamlessly, it's an F1 driver.

Original Cabin Suitcase

As one of the most iconic suitcases of all time, it's no wonder that celebrities love Rimowa's Original Cabin Suitcase. This aluminum model is designed for longevity and ease. It has TSA-approved locks, a multi-wheel system that glides over the airport floors, and, perhaps most importantly, a look that exudes luxury.

Keepall Bandoulière 55

Becks is no stranger to being papped leaving the airport with a huge LV bag, but the Keepall Bandoulière 55 might just be the most practical, stylish, and versatile. With LV's signature monogram all over, this flexible, spacious duffle is sophisticated and elegant—not to mention practical.

Ophidia GG Crossbody Bag

As somebody who has been known to stuff a passport, some toiletries, snacks, a few chargers, and whatever else will fit into a crossbody bag and call it "luggage," I'm mighty impressed by Nick Jonas' choice of carry-on. This chic Gucci bag is subtle yet chic, with a black and blue monogram, an adjustable strap, and an interior compartment that—trust me—fits a lot more than you think it will.

Classic Check-In L Suitcase

The Rimowa Cabin Suitcase is an essential, but if you're packing for a long trip, you've gotta have the Check-In L. This style uses the same iconic silver aluminum, with a smooth roll, ergonomic handle, and durability that'll ensure it lasts for years to come.

Large Checked Suitcase

Away's personalizable checked suitcase is easy, breezy, and minimalistic. It's designed for trips that last more than two weeks, which means it can fit a lot of stuff—especially with that same interior compression system that its carry-on has, plus a laundry bag, three interior mesh pockets, and one hanging pocket.
