If you’re searching for a truly girly bag, then this Marc by Marc Jacobs Linda Bow-Embellished Clutch won’t disappoint! Adorned with a large bow and in a pretty shade of pinkish-purple, it’s a roomy standout that looks just as great with jeans and a sharp blazer as with a dress. And for $250, it’s such a steal! Also in gray. Available at Net-a-Porter.

Awww. Julia Roberts and husband Danny Moder enjoyed a romantic stroll in Paris with a quintessential French icon: an orange Hermes Kelly handbag. Though orange is hard to pull off, especially if you’re a redhead like Julia, it works with her austere black coat. Besides, what gal wouldn’t want to carry an Hermes purse while seeing the sights in Paris with her number-one man?

No, no, Nicole Richie hasn’t been attacked by a leopard. She’s just been swallowed up by this massive leopard-print fur coat, not to mention a big black fedora and supersized sunglasses. But at least her signature black Balenciaga purse is juuuuust riiiiiiiiiight. The starlet stepped out with boyfriend Joel Madden, but judging from their outfits I can’t tell if they’re headed to the gym or tea at Cruela DeVil’s.

I love designer denim, but denim renditions of designer handbags usually give me the blues. Not so with this surprising Valentino Denim 360 Hobo. The purse actually retains its high-end quality thanks to glossy dark blue material and black hardware. It may not be as overtly glam as the other 360 versions, but it has a certain charm — and the bow definitely helps. Available for $895 at Bergdorf Goodman.

If you’re going to the Golden Globes, accessorizing with something gold only makes sense. “90210″ star AnnaLynne McCord fittingly opted for Rebecca Minkoff’s lavish Gold Box Clutch to accent her Grecian white gown. Check out that bodice! I haven’t seen cleavage like that since the whipped scene in “Varsity Blues.” Say what you want about the dress, but the metallic envelope-style clutch is a lovely look for the red carpet.

Miu Miu has produced some real showstoppers over the years, and I’d say the new Lurex Jeweled Shoulder Bag definitely qualifies. Artfully detailed, the multicolored jacquard is second only to the rich looking shoulder strap made of smoke-colored crystals. The strap is detachable, but I would love to show those luminous stones off at every opportunity. It’s definitely a bit showy, but it’s also a perfect choice for a night out. Available for $950 at Net-a-Porter.

Now don’t get hysterical — get Hysteria. Gucci’s Hysteria handbag, to be exact, which “Twilight” star Ashley Greene showed off along with a black zipper-print top and high-waist jeans. The purse is a stunner thanks to its two round gold medallions and black leather (which I prefer to the monogram option). What do you think?

At first glance, I thought this brunette beauty was Katy Perry. Then I noticed the fab Chanel handbag and realized it was none other than an incognito Ashlee Simpson. The “Chicago” star battled with wintry weather by bundling up in a leather jacket and a giant scarf, but she didn’t mind exposing her Chanel to the elements. Heck, if that drawstring beauty was mine, I’d show it off too.

She’s got her man, she’s got her rock, and she’s got her gold Chloe Paddington handbag. What more does a girl need? Katy Perry stepped out with new fiance Russell Brand and her luxe purse recently, but I have to be honest — the bold metallic doesn’t really work with Katy’s more somber gray outfit. And, just asking, but are she and Rusty supposed to match? Ugh.
