ITA, that 30 looks like a 25 because of her stature.

^I always feel like the 30s are too small for Brooke. Maybe I just like the Birkin as a 'tote'. . .

ETA: I *do* like her silly side, though!

agreed ! and who said just because a woman is taller she has to wear large bags automatically! especially with a dress the smaller birkin rocks a 35 may have weighted the look down.
but as everything that is personal preference like i think a smaller bag on a taller woman looks fine while i do not like a huuuge bag on a petite person or in other words a bag can never be too small but very easily too big and overwhelming aka "here comes the bag "

Yay! As a 5'10"-er myself, I always second guessed getting a 30, but once I did I fell hard for it. And although I love a 35 too - sometimes the 30 is better for not "weighing down" the outfit.

Well put, L!

I should have been more specific--I think if one is dressed casually, a bigger bag is better on a taller person, but if dressed more formally, the smaller is more appropriate. I remember the photo of Patrick Demarchelier's wife with the 25, which looked great, and I don't think she is petite in stature.

I personally love the fact that she's wearing birks with her birkin. Pun intended!!! Seriously though, I am a HUGE fan of birkenstocks and I wear mine with my picotin all of the time. Talk about comfort!

I could not agree with you more Asa! I've always thought that Brooke Shields looked as if she were holding someone else's bag.

Not sure about the leather or colour but this looks like a 28cm Rotourne.
