Oh, that Alexa Chung always thinking out of the box. Literally. Not content to have a Mulberry handbag named after her, the British girl hit the Chanel show at Paris Fashion Week with a wicker Chanel hamper fashioned into a purse. Creative, and handy for a front row picnic to boot!

She may be seen as the ultimate girl next door, but Rachel McAdams has a glamorous side too. The starlet looked dressed to kill in a form-fitting sheath, a classic trench, and lookie here; a divine Bally Keli handbag on a recent outing. I’m not surprised to see Rachel step out with Bally ; the classic, luxe brand is a better fit for her than an ultra-trendy handbag or an extravagant bag. Way to keep it smart and sophisticated.

Having the number one movie in the country will put a spring in any girl's step, and a Vienna-bound Beyonce is no exception. The starlet looked very upbeat on her trip, not to mention extremely trendy. There's a lot going on here with those jeans, caged YSL shoes, burnout tank, and a glitzy white Valentino handbag to boot. I'd probably take it down a notch, but I do dig that purse. What do you think?

“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!

Hilary Duff seems to love wearing her to-die-for Prada Fairy handbag with ultra-short shorts, as we’ve seen her do a couple of times now. At least she can pull them off, as she does with this kind of glam-casual ensemble consisting of cowboy boots, a crinkled green tunic and those aforementioned barely there shorts. The purse is easily one of the most coveted items of the year and Hil looks fab with it.

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!

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.
