It’s safe to say this sleek Yves Saint Laurent Small Satin Chain Strap Bag is the epitome of elegance. With its clean lines, steely grey color and chunky chain, it embraces several trends yet remains inimitably timeless thanks to that simple shape and glam evening-worthy appearance. It’s just perfect to see you through holiday party season. Available for $1295 at Net-a-Porter.

Hubba hubba! I’m absolutely in love with this exquisite Yves Saint Laurent Le Sixieme Printed Bag, which comes in a stamped steely gray leather that is perfect for autumn. Besides the faux-crackled texture of the leather, the purse wows with its silver hardware and chainlink strap. So sophisticated, don’t you think? Available for $1,695 at Net-a-Porter.com.

So long, heels! Suri Cruise has moved on to teddy bears and adorable ladybug wellies, while mama Katie Holmes has moved on to a lovely black Yves Saint Laurent Besace Flap Bag. Besides being ridiculously chic, the YSL purse is a great and surprisingly practical handbag for a busy mom like Katie - it goes with nearly everything and isn’t overly fussy like some status bags. And don’t you just love that textured leather?

I’m a sucker for a modern-looking handbag that’s got room to spare and can suit just about any outfit or occasion. Case in point: the Yves Saint Laurent Patent Leather Hobo, a slick (but not plasticky traditional patent) black purse with ample size and a chic rounded shoulder strap with silver hardware. It’s less logo-centric than other YSL purses, and therefore better adapted to everyday wear. Available for $1,195 at Saks Fifth Avenue.

Itching to let your inner punk come out to play? Consider this Yves Saint Laurent Spiral Clutch, a black vernice patent leather purse featuring spiral-bound hardware that recalls the notebooks of our youths. Though a little out there for everyday, this purse could make a bangin’ accessory for your next party or night out at the club - we’re thinking slashed jeans, a safety pin or two, and killer heels… Available for $395 at Saks Fifth Avenue.

I know the black leather PVC bra and pencil skirt seem pretty wild, but considering that last week Lady Gaga rolled up to the airport in vampire fangs and a thong leotard, it’s actually downright tame. And you’ve got to give the gal points for coordination, pairing her black PVC with a matching houndstooth scarf and a very bad-ass Yves Saint Laurent Y-Rock studded handbag. Dare I say I dig the look? Well…I’ll just confess to adoring that rock ‘n’ roll bag.

No, Nelson isn’t forming a reunion tour. That’s just Lindsay Lohan waving her bleached blonde locks around. I’d rather focus on her fab purple Yves Saint Laurent handbag, which does her more justice than that peroxide ‘do. The color is fun, the purse is a classic, and it’s a nice luxe contrast to her low-key tank and cutoffs.

Color me smitten. This Yves Saint Laurent Zip Tote takes a familiar YSL design and infuses it with a modern, on-trend edge. The black handbag sports a zipped top, but it’s the metal teeth details outlining the central Y shape that I really dig. A sexy tote with plenty of mileage and downtown cool. Available for pre-order at Bergdorf Goodman for $1,795.

Somebody needs a hand! Ali Larter looked stunning - if not overloaded - in her summery blue Pucci-esque print sundress, blue heels, and loads of handbags. I love her mini Yves Saint Laurent Downtown Tote in beige - it’s petite but not as impractically toy-sized as the one Demi Moore always carries. Very chic and seasonal.

It’s Easy does it for superstar singer Mariah Carey, who kept things simple and chic at London’s Heathrow Airport with a black blouse (psst…you missed a button!), blue jeans, and a luscious Yves Saint Laurent Easy purse. The outfit is nothing to write home about, but the handbag adds just the right amount of a luxury polish. Sooooo much hotter than her butterfly era.
