CLOSET BATTLE: BUFFY STAR’S DAUGHTER DEMANDS VINTAGE FENDI
The biggest battle facing Sarah Michelle Gellar isn’t against a Hellmouth demon—it’s against her own teenage daughter, Charlotte, who is currently attempting a hostile takeover of the star’s highly selective vintage wardrobe. The item causing the chaos? A precious, coveted, and likely $,+ Fendi Baguette bag.
Gellar, , opened up exclusively while promoting eBay’s ’ Shop, confessing that the legendary bag is “one of the few things my daughter always wants to grab from my closet.” This is no accident. The Baguette is a fashion status symbol thanks entirely to the celebrity obsession that drove Gellar to buy it in the first place.
The actress admitted her devotion to Sex and the City was the reason she splurged back in the day: “I remember Carrie Bradshaw [played by Sarah Jessica Parker] carrying a [Fendi baguette] bag and I was like, ‘I want one.'” This deep, almost embarrassing celebrity fandom led Gellar to a moment of pure extravagance—a moment now paying off in serious vintage currency.
️ TRASHED FADS: SMG’S REGRETTABLE ‘s ARCHIVE
While the Fendi Baguette is a golden exception, Gellar confessed to a major fashion crime: she trashed most of her ‘s wardrobe. The actress, who shares daughter Charlotte, , and son Rocky, , with husband Freddie Prinze Jr., lamented that she didn’t keep many of her “stuff from the ’s,” confirming her archives are mostly barren.
This admission is causing heartbreak for her teenage daughter, who is desperate to raid her mom’s closet for the very trends Gellar was so quick to discard. Charlotte made a frantic plea for one key item that is currently back in style:
She came in one day, she’s like, ‘Mom, I need a choker. You must have chokers. You wore them in the ’s.’ I was like, ‘Yes, that was in the ’s. I don’t have any chokers now.’
The idea of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer star having zero chokers is a massive disappointment to the next generation. Where is the emotional archive? Where are the receipts of her iconic style? They’re in a landfill somewhere, according to Gellar.
THE CHOKER SHAME: FADS SMG REFUSES TO REVISIT
Gellar made it abundantly clear that even if her daughter is demanding chokers and the trend is back, she is drawing a hard line. She has zero intention of returning to the style, brutally explaining her reasoning:
“I always feel like it just sort of makes your neck look shorter,” she told us. That’s a decisive, savage fashion death sentence from a woman whose style choices were tracked globally for a decade. The message is clear: the choker is dead, and Gellar killed it.
The star did, however, endorse one comeback trend: the slip dress. She happily noted that she styled slip dresses with “a T-shirt” and “a sweater” back in the day, adding, “I don’t know why those ever went out. To me, it’s the easiest thing to put on and feel put together and be comfortable. So I’m all here for the slip dresses.” She can’t be trusted with chokers, but the slip dress is apparently safe.
️ THE VINTAGE PAYDAY: SELLING OFF HER LEGACY
Gellar’s interview, timed to promote eBay’s ’ Shop, reveals the sad truth: if she had kept her ‘s archives, she could be raking in serious cash now. Instead, fans will have to settle for the items she did reluctantly save and sign, including signed Buffy the Vampire Slayer pieces and other collectibles featured in the shop.
The shop, which includes high-end items like a Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel belt and a Michael Jordan autographed jersey, is a reminder that celebrity vintage is a goldmine. Gellar’s confessed lack of preservation is a massive loss for collectors.
WHO WILL WIN THE BAGUETTE BATTLE?
The tension remains thick in the Prinze-Gellar household. Charlotte’s style, which her mom admits is “incredibly” different most of the time, seems to only overlap with the most valuable, iconic pieces—specifically, the Baguette. The Baguette is more than a bag; it’s a piece of pop culture history and a symbol of Gellar’s early fame and celebrity obsession.
Will Gellar let her -year-old daughter trot off to school with a vintage Fendi that the star bought to emulate Carrie Bradshaw? Or will she lock the prized possession away until Charlotte is old enough to appreciate the sheer, glorious chaos of its ‘Sex and the City’ origin story?
The closet battle is on, and the Baguette’s fate hangs in the balance.
Stay tuned for the next dramatic closet raid.
