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).

Who knew Kelly Osbourne had a political streak? The rock royal joined her boyfriend to protest California’s Proposition 8 ban on gay marriage, and she brought her black Alexander Wang Donna Hobo along for the ride. Sporting two large pouches and a prominent zip down the middle, the handbag is a recent favorite among the downtown crowd. Kelly may have lost the good fight, but she’s a style winner in our book.

Whoa. How’d Daisy Duke get her hands on a Gucci bag? Oh, wait, that’s just Lindsay Lohan, randomly pairing her summery cropped (read: way too short) peasant blouse, fringed sandals, and cropped (read: again, WAY too short) cut-offs with an elegant Gucci monogrammed carry-all. Love the Gucci, but it looks totally wrong with this youthful, beach bimbo-y look, don’t you think? I know La Lohan is going through some tough times, but there’s no need to take it out on a poor defenseless designer handbag.

Leggings and rolled-up jean shorts? Say it ain’t so, Katie Holmes! Oh well - at least Madame Cruise knows how to pick a fabulous designer purse. I love her slim and sleek white tote, which would be great for carrying my laptop around in style. The design is classic, sophisticated, and also summery. Just ignore the lackluster outfit bringing it down. So, can you name the designer?

Whoa, MK! That’s a lot of prints to handle for one outfit, my dear. Mary-Kate Olsen boldly paired her Cobsy-esque Topshop sweater dress with a funky striped Marni purse (note the round handle) and I for one am not feeling it. The handbag isn’t one of Marni’s best, and would really only work with a solid frock. The busy-ness of the sweater dress is just way too much. But hey, to each her own.

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?

Oh, Vicky, you’re always keeping us on our toes, aren’t you? Well, I’ll say this: fabulous Hermes Birkin, darling. Now if I could just wrap my head around the rest of your ‘daring’ ensemble. To be honest, I don’t know whether to love it or hate it. True, for Milan Fashion Week anything goes, but perhaps someone should remind Posh that a) it’s a fashion show, not a funeral, and b) she’s in her 30s, so she should stop dressing like Carrie Donovan (RIP). The hair accessory is pretty, but perhaps a tad too kooky for this severe all-black look.

Love. This. Handbag! The Marc by Marc Jacobs Strippy Zippy Groovee Bag is one of the loveliest bags I’ve seen for spring and summer, and I’m happy to report that it isn’t off-the-wall expensive! The bag is functional and perfect for everything from jeans to summer dresses. What I’m loving most is the color, and I can’t wait to see more MBMJ bags in this color. Neutral bags are super hot for this season, and they go with everything you can imagine. Pair a beige color like this with unexpected colors like red and teal.

Ashlee Simpson-Wentz isn’t the type of gal I’d typically expect to see wearing a blue and white checked dress, but there’s nothing wrong with getting your Dorothy on. The singer gives her frock an edgy twist by pairing it with black tights, booties, and an enticing ruched Chanel purse. I’m not 100% certain that everything flows, but it’s hard to find much fault with Chanel. What do you think?
