Gucci's latest campaign takes handbags where they've never been before — on late night TV.

The Beloved campaign spotlights the Italian house's four most beloved handbag styles (the Dionysus, the GG Marmont, the Gucci Horsebit 1955 and the Jackie 1961) as a diverse group of A-listers model the bags while making an appearance on creative director Alessandro Michele's version of a Hollywood late-night talk show.

The new spot captures Diane Keaton, Serena Williams, Awkwafina, Sienna Miller, Dakota Johnson and the fashion house favorite Harry Styles in glamorous cocktail wear and sexy late-night ensembles that speaks to each celeb's personal style during a light-hearted conversation with host James Corden. (And yes, the fur coat that sparked the hilarious Styles and Allison Janney meme is back!)

"We decided to show the concept of 'beloved' in an ironic way in the campaign, being inspired by the fact that bags are the protagonists in my life and in the lives of many other people," Michele said in a press release. "We went back in time to the original TV talk shows, where the protagonist is the bag itself, the big star. Very often these creations are named after influential women who conditioned the habits and customs of many."

He continued, "It is precisely because they have great personalities that in the industry we gave them these powerful names; and now we have them in a show and twisted with the idea that there were two stars: the bag and the actual talent. A game of cross-references between the two great protagonists."

The campaign, which officially debuted on April 22 following the release of several social media teasers, was shot by Spring Breakers filmmaker Harmony Korine.

Each star filmed their own snippet on the "Beloved Talk Show," where Styles has a belly laugh with Corden, Williams soaks in the applause of fans, Keaton serenades viewers in song, Miller gets lost backstage at the studio, Johnson has trouble getting a word-in and Awkwafina hilariously confronts Corden.

Speaking with Vogue about working on the talk show-inspired campaign, Keaton said that Michele is "beyond talented and gorgeous."

"I love his vision and his gentle nature," she added. "I must also say that working with James Corden was a delight. He is so relaxed and born to be a hilarious host. It's not fair."
