Ah, will you look at that precious thing? So adorable, so charming, so covetable. And the puppy's pretty cute too. Ashley Tisdale has some seriously showstopping arm candy, pairing a darling dog with a cream Balenciaga handbag (love the heavy hardware). But which one is cuter?

Well, I don't like to kick someone when they're down, but: LeAnn, SWEATS? With a perfectly adorable Balenciaga? Really? No, really? The recently separated crooner certainly dressed the part of a lovelorn lady, pairing her petite Balenciaga bag with sloppy sweats and flip-flops. All that's missing is the pint of ice cream. Love the purse, but the outfit ruins it all.

Comment on Nicole Richie and her Blue Balenciaga Motorcycle bag in our celeb purse forum

Nobody does boho chic better than Nicole Richie, and this fab ensemble is a perfect example. From her slouchy hat to her effortless scarf, this look feels fresh yet not too out-there. And to give it a modern LA spin, Nicole's added a black Balenciaga City Bag, which is a beauty. I'd happily wear it all!

Usually Kim Kardashian goes for the more…ahem, loud handbags, but maybe she's growing up, or just plain toning it down with this Balenciaga Giant Clutch. One of my absolute favorite designer handbags, this clutch is roomy enough for everything you need for a night (or day) out. While the old Bal clutches with regular hardware are fine and dandy, the Giant collection boasts the hardware to make the purse pop.

Leave it to a California gal like Cameron Diaz to make a white tee and torn, patched-up jeans look totally adorable. The sunny starlet went casual for a day out recently, but didn't leave her designer arm candy behind &”#8211; that's a luscious cream Balenciaga handbag on her arm. The purse and Cameron's metallic gladiator sandals give her outfit a high-end polish. I'm a little on the fence about those funky jeans, but overall I think she looks great.

Yes, that is a baby behind those pixelated blocks (British pubs take a refreshingly anti-kiddo celebrity stance). And yes, it totally looks like the silver fox behind Salma Hayek is about to make off with her gorgeous Balenciaga Le Dix Motorcycle Purse. While the Motorcycle has been seen on every starlet from Fifth Avenue to Robinson Boulevard, it's been a while since I spied someone with the croc version. Taking in the stunning beauty of this blue croc version, I wonder why. The crocodile adds a luxurious, unique-looking edge to the now iconic handbag, and I love how the blue offsets Salma's simple neutral ensemble. But zip that thing up, sweetheart!

Truth be told, I haven't the slightest clue what Nicky Hilton does for a living, besides strut around looking stylish and perhaps rolling around on a mattress covered in $100 bills. But I do like her style&”#8230;especially when it comes to handbags. Her red Balenciaga is tres cute, and adds a nice pop of color against her denim cutoffs, white tank, and black vest. See, even the most low-key looks can have a glamorous twist with the right accessories.

Whoa, Nelly! Just think of all the stuff you could cram into Heidi Montag's massive Balenciaga Crocodile Weekender bag. “The Hills& baddie took the handbag out for lunch with hubby Spencer Pratt and his grandma for Mother's Day – these two never miss a photo opp! Though I love the purse's bold blue hue and slick croc style (who doesn't?), it seems a little odd to take out a bag this giant for a casual outing. I'd opt for a more petite version and save this biggie for a trip.
