Katy Perry glammed it up for Louis Vuitton’s Paris runway show, and, not surprisingly, my favorite part of the outfit is her purse: a gorgeous mustard-yellowy-gold Louis Vuitton monogram embroidered clutch. Though the clutch is lovely, something about this ensemble falls flat for me. Maybe the color scheme is off? Or the black skirt/black tights/black heels combo is a little heavy? What do you think?

Louis Vuitton, this legendary luxury brand has a legacy dating all the way back to 1854. A company with this much history and tradition generally has very formal procedures in place.  However, while much of the high end fashion sector is lagging behind on the social media front, Louis Vuitton is out of the gate and streaming their big show live on their Facebook page.  They already started connecting with top-tier fashionistas on Twitter.  

This is GREAT news for those of us who couldn’t get the right flight to Paris, or their invitation was lost in the mail.  Instead, you can watch the Marc Jacobs creations with a front row view and note all of the goodies you will be wearing next season.

Leighton Meester has emerged as much of a clotheshorse as her TV alter ego, Blair Waldorf. And though the ensemble she wore for a “Late Night with David Letterman” appearance - a puffy dove gray blouse paired with high-waisted black trousers - won’t appeal to everyone, I think we can all agree that her silver Louis Vuitton clutch is to die for. It works really well with this oufit and gives it a little luxe designer flourish. We’re sure Dave was impressed.

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.

Um, Lindz? We think you missed a button. Or four. The “Mean Girls” star hit LAX in a black jumpsuit and her Louis Vuitton monogrammed luggage, along with a slick and thin cherry-red purse in her arm. Louis Vuitton is of course the label of choice for jet-setting stars, even the ones who haven’t had a hit film in years. Now if we can just get Lindsay to button up.

Renee, Renee, Renee. What is the point of carrying not one but two designer handbags (an orange Hermes Birkin and a black monogrammed Louis Vuitton) if you are just going to schlep around in ratty workout wear? I mean, c’mon - a black top and brown bottoms? I’m still trying to wrap my head around this trainwreck, but at least the gal’s got good taste in purses. Although next time, just one should suffice.

Too. Many. Jokes. Okay, so I won’t comment on Playmate Holly Madison’s affair with that lollipop, but I will dish about her Louis Vuitton Murakami Monogram purse - it’s super-cute! I’ve long had a fondness for this playful print, and it’s so appropriately youthful and fun for a trip to the candy store, don’t you think? Let’s just hope the poor gal doesn’t go into sugar shock.

On those nights when your mantra is “simple yet glamorous,” opt for a structured, low-key piece like the Louis Vuitton Sobe Clutch. This is a great partner for a classic sheath dress, and in three gorgeous colors (like this moody midnight blue), there’s one to match just about anything in your closet. Sleek, easy and super shiny, this clutch is definitely worth a second look. Also in bordeaux and bright orange. Available for $895 at Louis Vuitton.

Warning: This photo could cause a trend overdose. Not only is Ashley Tisdale wearing artfully distressed stone-wash jeans, ruched suede boots, and a worn graphic tee, but she’s also found room for a lovely Louis Vuitton multicolored monogram purse. The colorful purse is a suitable status bag for a young woman like Ashley - playful, but luxe.

Chic starlet, coming through! “Gossip Girl” star Leighton Meester doubled up on her carry-ons for a recent flight, jetting off with a Louis Vuitton handbag (Suede Asphalt bag, by the looks of it), and Nina Ricci’s Agneau Pleated Besace purse. Both handbags are lovely, as is Leighton’s colorful scarf. Way to fly in style!
