Wow – did Katy Perry land jury duty or something? The quirky pop star was surprisingly demure on a recent outing, if a leather jacket and tight skirt can be called demure, that is. Maybe it’s her black Chanel 2.55 purse that makes her look so classy. After all, it’s hard to look cheap when you’ve got one of those beauties hanging from your shoulder. So do you prefer Katy’s chic new look, or her zanier style?
Tribal prints are a big hit for Spring 2010, and one need look no further than Kim and Kourtney Kardashian for proof. While Kim is rocking a bold camo-esque floral-print romper, sister Kourtney has paired Jimmy Choo’s zebra-print clutch with her safari-chic white tee and cropped khakis. The Jimmy Choo gives Kourtney the edge here, but with her stash of Hermes and Louis Vuitton bags, Kim’s not exactly going home a loser.
Who’s that underneath all that hair? Why, it’s none other than Miss Miley Cyrus, who’s rocking a patchwork Simone Camille handbag. Though patchwork isn’t always my bag, this line is popular with starlets like Nicole Richie, and the busy detailed print works with Miley’s subdued outfit. Just tread lightly — a purse like this will clash with most printed tops!
“Twilight” actress Ashley Greene banned a bouquet of flowers and a beautiful bag (a black Dolce & Gabbana Miss Sicily purse, to be precise) on a recent outing. Though her outfit is pretty sporty, the handbag is smart and sophisticated. Just imagine how chic it would look with a grown-up sheath dress and heels!
Jennifer Love Hewitt…I can’t Believe it. The actress’s hip black handbag is a Novella Royale, which creates its purses from vintage leather jackets to reduce waste. Clever, and earth-friendly? What’s not to like? Plus, I love the downtown-chic stud effect — very trendy!
Welcome to the “Dollhouse,” people! Actress Eliza Dushku hit the David Letterman studios dressed to the nines, pairing her sexy, bandage-style camel-toned dress with black tights, fierce heels, and a killer Tory Burch Studded Messenger handbag. I’m not in love with the one-glove look, but otherwise I’d say this look is a perfect 10.
Buh-bye black! Ashlee Simpson upgraded to a vibrant purple skirt and colorful print blouse on a recent outing, though she wisely opted for a black Chanel purse to tie the look together. Simpson’s style has really blossomed lately, probably has a result of her acting gig on “Melrose Place.” Whatever it is, we dig it.
Kate Hudson supported boyfriend Alex Rodriguez (still scratching my head over that one) and the New York Yankees as they made the playoff rounds. Personally, I’m a bigger fan of her fierce Stella McCartney City Chain Tote, which sports a modern chain detail along its perimeter. Stella and Kate are pals, too, so I just bet she got that beauty for free (at least discounted). Some girls have all the luck.
Proving that she’s not too busy for her fans, Penelope Cruz stopped to sign autographs at the Toronto airport. And what’s that hanging from her arm? Yep, looks like a deep red Prada handbag to me. It’s hard to see much of the purse with that leather jacket draped over it, but I do dig the red against Penelope’s gray top. A heart of gold and a keen eye for style? This gal has it made.
Posh isn’t the only fashion-savvy member of the Beckham household. Hubby David Beckham traveled in style with a Louis Vuitton monogrammed bag on his arm, which is big enough to fall into the “luggage” rather than “man bag” category. Beckham could wear a Borat swimsuit and would still look irresistible, so let’s chalk up this designer accessory as a success.
