Love her or hate her, Sienna Miller certainly has fabulous taste in desginer handbags. This classic taupe ostrich-skin Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche handbag is just plain stunning, yet surprisingly suitable for everyday (hmmm…must tell my accountant that next he balks at my spending habits). While Sienna’s striped nautical top and jeans would have also looked great with a cream or navy purse, the YSL adds a nice extravagant touch.

Ever find yourself playing Sophie’s Choice between the lizard-print purse and the suede one? Why not have both? This beguiling deep burgundy Yves Saint Laurent Small Easy Suede Bag sports a suede rendition of the lizard print, with a Muse-esque Y running down the center. The effect is a little on the funky side, to be sure, but I’m in love with the color, and suede will certainly be fun to carry in the fall. But what’s next? Satin pony hair? Available for pre-order for $995 at SaksFifthAvenue.com.

Kylie Minogue’s certainly come a long way from those skirt/bike short combos she wore (and I begged my mom to buy) in the ‘0s. The Australian mega-star fopted a more grown-up navy and white polka-dot frock and a hat with a matching band, plus one divine complementary Yves Saint Laurent Downtown Tote. Though the hat is a bit overkill for me (anyone else picturing Julia Roberts doing the Arsenio fist pump at the Beverly Hills polo match?), Kylie’s assembled a nice, ladylike ensemble. I’d steal that purse in a heartbeat (hypothetically speaking, of course).

Damn, it must feel good to be a style gangsta. The always perfectly decked-out Dita Von Teese wowed once again in her peep-toe Louboutins, retro-styled snakeskin trench (so Audrey!), and a delicious Yves Saint Laurent Obi handbag. To. Die. For. I love the purse’s stone color - a nice, soft neutral for the warmer months - and elephant ear-esque bow flaps. I would literally wear this outfit as is. Care to share, my dear?

Kim Kardashian has been seen out and about with her black patent YSL Muse II as her workhorse bag for the past few weeks. She’s been hitting the gym and making it very clear to the public that she’s working to lose weight. Personally, I think Kim has gotten a little too thin, but she does look fabulous, so no major complaints. She is in workout gear a lot these days, and how else to glam up a plain black tank and spandex pants than with YSL?

It’s not just corporate America that’s downsizing - stars are too! Take Demi Moore, who stepped out with her tres petite and tres adorable Yves Saint Laurent Mini Downtown Tote. I love the original Downtown, and could see how a smaller bite-sized patent version would be convenient, but I think when all is said and done, I’d rather have the big one. What do you think? Does size matter? Is the mini version too “little girl”? Or can Demi have her Ashton and her tiny handbag too?

I love a good Kylie Minogue sighting, and this latest batch of photos doesn’t disappoint. The Aussie superstar looks chic (as usual) in her summery white frock and nude heels, all accented nicely by her mini-sized Yves Saint Laurent Downtown purse in a brushed gold. It’s all very goddess glam, and I think she looks fantastic. I’ve never been a huge fan of miniature handbags, but I guess when you’re as tiny as Kylie, that’s the only option.

Has King Midas gotten a gig working at YSL? This yelloy gold-dipped Yves Saint Laurent Suede Degrade Downtown Bag certainly bears his mark. The iconic Downtown Bag gets an unconventional makeover, appearing in suede rather than leather, with a white body, gold straps, and an ombre-esque gold base. It’s quirky, and though I’d prefer to have the original handbag style as is, I think for summer it just might work. I’d pair it with skinny cropped white jeans, a pastel tank, and a scarf. Available for $1,945 at Neiman Marcus.

Though it doesn’t look like she scored too much at the Fred Segal sale, Denise Richards probably doesn’t mind much considering her wardrobe is usually pretty fab (and she can afford non-sale splurges anytime she wants). Here she leaves the sale with her daughter in tow and sports a super-casual ensemble. With her Yves Saint Laurent Downtown Tote on one arm, even the ripped jeans, plain shoes and thrown-on top manage to look chic. Oh, and I love her hair.

I myself am not in the market for a handbag in the four figures, but if I were, the new Croc-Embossed Degrade Muse might be my very first stop. This is one of the most gorgeous Muse bags I’ve seen. The color is stellar, the embossed croc to-die-for, and the size is perfect for every day. The blue-grey color works well with tons of colors without being plain old black or grey. The oversized Muse was the bag of choice for awhile, but I think now that giant bags are slowly fading away, the Muse in the large size is a great option for both travel, play, and work. The Croc-Embossed Degrade Muse retails for $1,995 and is available at neimanmarcus.com.
