Sheesh. You can make some serious bucks as a film star, but when all is said and done, you still have to carry your own luggage. A decidedly down to earth Cameron Diaz looked stylish - if not a tad Sherpa-like - in her black coat, jeans, and plaid scarf, thanks in part to that elegent Chanel purse hanging from her neck. As if that wasn’t enough, Cam’s also got a large brown leather handbag on her, though it’s too hard to tell who that’s by. Way to get around those pesky carry-on rules, girlfriend!

Okay, who is Lily Allen’s personal stylist and how can I hire this person? Seriously - this girl gets her clutches on all the good designer handbags, including the elusive Russian Doll clutch from Chanel’s pre-fall “Paris in Moscow” collection. Jealous? It’s a novelty purse, to be sure, but one I wouldn’t mind owning. The petite black and silver creation is very cute, yet with that luxe Chanel style. Some girls have all the luck.

Whoa - what is it, Throw On Everything in Your Closet Day? A monochrome Catherine Zeta-Jones may have made a fashion blunder with her black ensemble - a fur coat AND a beachy Annie Hall-style hat? where are you going? - but at least she gets points for wearing Christian Louboutin booties and a darling Chanel handbag. Unfortunately, they both get lost in this murky sea of black. Catherine, darling - Chanel should be the spotlight!

Help! Security! Darth Lagerfeld is trying to kidnap Keira Knightley! Oh, wait - she’s laughing? Guess getting manhandled by Karl Lagerfeld is just one of the many perks of being a Chanel spokesmodel. Now, about the clothes. Karl looks, well, pretty much the same as he always does, while Keira’s Chanel ensemble, a black top and patterned skirt accented by a fetching quilted black handbag, is pretty darn chic. Not feeling the new bangs, but I’m sure Karl can whip her up an amazing Chanel headband to see her through that painful growing-out period.

See - not even Mischa Barton wants to carry a Mischa Barton handbag. The budding designer and lover of rings (seriously, how many do you need, honey?) was spied giving her chain-accented Chanel purse a workout, all while trying to remain incognito in a hat from her upcoming Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? collection, no doubt. Like the bag, but to be honest I prefer the 2.55. What do you think?

Okay girls, brace yourself for some tough love. Lo: That borderline blah dress belongs at Sunday mass, not Saturday night clubbing. Audrina: Two words: Camel. Toe. LC: Call me Goldilocks, but this one feels juuuuuuuuuust riiiiiiiiiiiiiight. Of course, I’m easily distracted by that lovely Chanel Caviar handbag she’s carrying; the best money Jason Wahler has ever spent, I’m sure. The dress is unfussy but sexy in its own way, and the black and white mix works well. Now let’s just hope some drunk club-goer doesn’t spill her amaretto sour on that gorgeous handbag.

With Whitney on “The City,” Brody on “Bromance,” and Heidi and Spencer, well, everywhere we pretty much look (yuck), the Lauren Conrad mothership seems to have been laying low lately. But here she is, just chilling in her laidback plaid top and skinny jeans, joined only by her favorite Chanel 2.55 clutch. As far as low-key afternoon looks go, I love it. So simple, so stylish.

New for Resort ‘09, the Chanel Accordion Flap Bag is relaxed and simple, but still elevated by those inimitable details that make Chanel purses so irresistible. The soft tan lambskin is neutral enough to work with nearly anything, but will look best during the warmer months of the year. And I do mean soft - this leather practically melts at the first touch. It’s a great choice if you buy one major bag per season - this will definitely see you through. Visit Chanel for details.

 Blue Bentley? Check. Blue heels? Check. Blue cardigan? Check. Dress covered with galloping blue horses? Um, check. Paris Hilton shows the world what it means to color coordinate as she arrives at the Ivy for a spot of lunch with her mom. Swinging from her arm is the B. Fendi bag in white with a touch of (what else?) blue. While the whole presentation is very surreal to most of us and Paris herself is about as deep and intriguing as a reality show, she did manage to pull off a seriously cute, workable ensemble here. I’d rather the car over that outfit any day, though!

Lindsay is out and about as usual, and what better bag to do with than the Chanel Portobello. If you’ve seen this bag in real life, you know it’s a pretty large handbag, but it looks great with Lindsay’s height. Her hair, sunglasses, $3,000 purse…oh, to be young, gorge, and oh-so-rich! I’m loving Lindsay’s sunglasses, which are oversized Ray-Bans. Does anyone know the exact model/style? It looks like Lindsay’s purse collection just continues to grow.
