I think you should just be confident in your own style (it’s always easiest to carry off an outfit you feel comfortable in) and sensitive to the preferences of your daughter, remembering that she is the one who is the star of this show. 
What H bag should I wear to DD's middle school graduation?

I would say something you can wear crossbody since you will be more comfortable hands-free. I have seen a mom wearing an LV dress plastered with logos at one of those graduations, and she was anything but self-conscious, and I loved that attitude.
It's a day to celebrate. I'd wear what you are comfortable in & if you are intending to wear
an H bag, wear the bag & not look to have it not be recognized. What's the point in that?
As a tpf'er suggested, if you are friendly with any of your dd friends mom's, maybe ask them
how they intend to dress, but this is about your daughter, so perhaps be under the radar a bit, JMO
Are you going out somewhere after the graduation for a family celebration?

Congrats to your daughter!
Well to me it depends on the crowd going to the event. When my kids were at a private school, everyone was in designer clothes and bags so it wasn’t a question I asked myself.
When they switched to public schools, my kids specifically asked me several times not too dress too « expensive » to not stand out.
A nice summer dress and a bit of jewelry but not a K or B.
My youngest daughter will probably ask me to not even wear jewelry when she has her middle school graduation! 😭
She doesn’t want « people to think that we are rich. » 🤣

Hahaha, if your neighbors are all billionaires, then b25 is perfect! Otherwise, either they don’t know anything about it or think it’s overkill
Honestly if your neighbors are billionaires, polar fleece and a canvas tote
The wealthiest people I know have pretty simple taste in clothes.
Their real estate, art, vehicles, hobbies are a different story
Really? My gosh, who wants to be billionaire?😸Honestly if your neighbors are billionaires, polar fleece and a canvas tote
I don’t want $20 polar fleece and canvas tote
Normally, I'd do crossbody, but I just had a major spinal surgery last month so I physically cannot do that.
Many of the moms in her school carry LV, Gucci, and Chanel. (Her school is 75% Chinese so it's pretty much normal) However, that's something I'm no longer comfortable doing.
Other moms that I've spoken to intend to dress up, but didn't mention anything about bags. I guess I'll just throw on a dress and choose a bag that matches the outfit. (No B25, as it's a bit too loud)
Unfortunately, I'm going straight back to work after her ceremony. Mondays are very busy and I work for a private business.
I just asked my DD this. She said "I don't care what you wear, but I need a dress for graduation. I don't have any formal wear! Just wear your Kelly Danse." Alrighty then...
