Bag That Style - Celebrity Handbags

Jennifer Garner loves her Marc Jacobs tote

Amanda Mull — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 17:00:11 +0000

Oh, Jennifer Garner. Could you be any more adorable? I think not. I’m not sure if there’s another star in all of Hollywood that seems as down-to-earth, friendly or normal as she does, and I like to pretend that I have a pretty good sense about these things. But in fact, we hardly ever feature her on this blog because she’s rarely out and about, being flashy in front of the paparazzi, carrying bags that inspire blog posts.

She’s still being charmingly normal here, acting like a regular woman that just happens to also be stunningly beautiful, but she’s finally got a bag that we all want to see. It’s a Marc Jacobs Alina Belted Tote

Simon Cowell’s fiancé Mezhgan Hussainy carries Balenciaga

Amanda Mull — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 13:00:26 +0000

Is it just me, or does Simon Cowell not seem like the marrying type? The American Idol host was with his previous girlfriend for years and years without popping the question, but all of a sudden, he’s engaged to Mezghan Hussainy his girlfriend of only a few months. I guess when you know, you know, even if you’re a committed bachelor.

What I don’t really know about is Hussainy’s outfit. She’s obviously a gorgeous woman and all of her clothes seem to fit her properly, but the visual she’s got going on here is not my favorite. What she’s wearing isn’t a suit, but she’s managed to find a pair of jeans and a tank top in the exact same shade as her vest and blazer, which might actually be sewn together into a single garment. The whole thing looks like a giant navy onesie, and with a body like that, she can surely do better. Not even her Balenciaga Lune Bag can save the look – I vastly prefer the brand’s more casual motorcycle bags.

Whitney Port carries a bag I must have

Shannon Mahoney — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 21:16:02 +0000

Things like this really make me mad. I cannot for the life of me figure out what bag Whitney Port was carrying here while filming The City. At first glance I didn’t really hesitate and thought she was carrying a Yves Saint Laurent Roady. I love this bag so I was happy to see it.

But alas, it is not the YSL Roady. In fact, neither I nor any of the lovely members of the PurseForum have any idea what it is. This is a complete bummer because there are so many aspects of this bag that I love: it is large, black and boasts corset detailing that you really don’t see often. So, while she walks through the streets of NYC wearing Loeffler Randall Matilde Embossed Snake Boots in Chocolate, does anyone have any clue about her bag?!?!

Kate Moss carries another one of her Longchamp designs

Shannon Mahoney — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 17:12:21 +0000

Kate Moss is virtually royalty in and around London. Perhaps I should extend that beyond London and say all of England. It doesn’t matter if she is getting positive or negative press, Kate is someone who is followed very closely. As she continues on her handbag design quest, she carries some of said designs. We’ve covered her carrying the Kate Moss for Longchamp Glastonbury Bag a little while back and now we have her carrying a different design.

Kate grabbed some lunch at Lucky Seven with friends in the uber posh Notting Hill section of London carrying the Kate Moss For Longchamp Textered Calf Polonchon Gloster Tote. This bag has received mixed reviews all over the place and I can see why. There really isn’t anything special about this bag at all – it is black and boring. But hey, maybe if Kate continues to carry it others will too.

Jessica Alba wears the latest Prada It Bag

Amanda Mull — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 13:00:18 +0000

Sometimes, elements come together to form a whole that’s greater than the sum of its parts. That might sound like kind of a melodramatic way to describe a celebrity with her handbag, but in this case, it’s totally necessarily. I’ve never been a huge fan of Jessica Alba or her Prada Spazzolato Tote on their own, but I’m digging the bag in these pictures, and Ms. Alba looks happy and ready for spring.

I’ve seen a lot of people praise this particular bag, but I’ve seen it in person, and to say that the patent leather looks like plastic would be an understatement. I kind of like what Miuccia tried to do with the over-the-top faux gemstone closure, but I don’t think that the bag lives up to the clasp’s promise. These pictures are making me want to give it another chance, though, and maybe not write it off so quickly.

Reese Witherspoon exudes class with Phillip Lim

Shannon Mahoney — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 20:55:50 +0000

I want Reese Witherspoon to find love. She is one of the celebs I am truly pulling for. Granted, I want everyone to have love, but she is one of those celebs who seems like she really deserves it. Reese got married young, had a couple kids, a couple failed relationships later she still looks good.

Reese was recently spotted leaving a salon in Beverly Hills looking a bit more fashionable than normal. Don’t get me wrong, she always looks great, but she seems a bit more dressed up than usual. Reese paired a dark ensemble with a black 3.1 Phillip Lim Page Bag. Everything works well together. Keep on keepin on Reese!

Leighton Meester is back on the set of Gossip Girl with Longchamp

Shannon Mahoney — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 18:40:55 +0000

Gossip Girl is back and I am sure tons of you couldn’t be happier. I have to be honest and let you know that I catch it when I do and I don’t lose any sleep if I don’t. When I do catch it, I love it but if I miss it, I don’t hop on my computer and catch the episode online.

Regardless, I am one happy camper when it comes to the fashion on and off the set. I am never let down when talking about Gossip Girl fashion – it is fabulous. Leighton Meester was photographed on the set looking totally ready for spring. Leighton’s green Ralph Lauren Blue Label coat is colorful and gorgeous. But I don’t know if I like the green coat or her Longchamp Gatsby Bag in Citrine. Oh but wait, there’s more – yellow Christian Louboutin pumps. The only problem is that I don’t know what item I like the most. What about you?

Kourtney Kardashian loves her baby and her blue Chanel

Shannon Mahoney — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 17:44:59 +0000

I want to see more pictures of baby Mason. The newest edition to the Kardashian clan has already been photographed by the paparazzi more than many of us will ever be and he is only 3 months old! Not only has he been photographed more than other babies his age, he also gets a chance to attend some rather interesting events. Kourtney Kardashian took baby Mason to his very first polo match just last weekend. I doubt many other 3 month old babies attend such events.

However, I am certain that many other babies do some traveling with mom and dad. Here, Kourtney has Mason all bundled up in super fashionable Burberry attire while also trying to keep him concealed a bit. Kourtney doesn’t look so bad herself. I love her casual jet setting look and large blue Chanel Tote.

Khloe Kardashian has a Givenchy bag and her own personal umbrella attendant

Amanda Mull — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 13:00:43 +0000

Ok, so maybe Khloe Kardashian doesn’t actually have an umbrella attendant. It’s possible that she’s just handing handing off the umbrella to her assistant or one of the other various and sundry handlers she travels with, getting ready for an unobstructed strut in front of the adoring(?) paparazzi. We know how much those Kardashians love to happen on a group of photographers.

I must admit, however, that Khloe is looking pretty good here. The Kardashians have the best hair of any family on the planet, without a doubt, and I’m eternally jealous. Her coat and shoes are actually garments befitting a grownup, and her Givenchy Nightingale Tote is forever a fashionista favorite. She may want to ask for that umbrella back, however – I wouldn’t want that beautiful bag to get wet.

Mary J. Blige stumps us all

Shannon Mahoney — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 22:35:18 +0000

There are certain people out there who are simply iconic. Someone who falls into this category is Mary J. Blige. She is honestly a woman who knows what she wants, what she is worth and goes after it.

Here is the other thing about iconic people, they know how to give back when they should. Mary was nothing but smiles when she arrived in Queens, NY to perform for the Haiti Telethon Benefit. No, there was nothing jovial about the need for the telethon, but the celebs who attended were more than happy to participate and devote their time to the cause.

For us fashionistas out there, it is so fabulous to see all these celebs and what they wear. Mary looked gorgeous from head to toe. Now, if I could just figure out what she was carrying. Ideas?
