Kate Beckinsdale isn’t written about a ton when it comes to fashion. Sometimes we sneak pictures of her and her daughter in Us Weekly, but Beckinsdale is usually working out and in yoga gear. Here she’s partying with her Valentino Historie, no less. Now I’m not a huge fan of this bag in the first place (the braided handles, the gaudy exterior…it’s a little much), but the fact that she’s taking it out at night? Major no-go. I’m all for ...

While both their hubbies were working, Eva Longoria Parker met up with celebrity pal Victoria Beckham for a little retail therapy on Friday. The two ladies were photographed walking down Rodeo Drive by the paparazzi and the hordes of people with cell phone cameras who just happened to there. Victoria was dressed impeccably of course, but Eva opted to go the casual route, with dark denim, a crisp white shirt and a Valentino Fleur purse. Eva’s bag ...
How sharp is this Valentino Vernice Purse? It’s more the killer shine and color that I like - otherwise it’s a fairly run-of-the-mill satchel. However, it’s also the perfect marriage of polished and sizzling style, and a great way to make a powerful, take-charge statement, especially when worn with a cool suit and heels. Available for $1436 at Stylebop.
Kate Moss may have only landed at #2 on the Tatler’s Best Dressed List, but I think she looks pretty fab in her casual-cool outfit. And what’s this? A YSL Downtown Tote in gray ostrich? Niiiiiice. Clearly Kate is taking a cue from London weather with her foggy gray ensemble, but she looks as hip as ever. And while a lot of starlets can’t pull off carrying a luxury purse with a casual outfit, Kate’s style is seamless. If only ...
You have to really love metallics to appreciate this Valentino Laminated Vitello Bow Tote. The bow embellishment is a cute touch that Valentino is especially fond of using on his bags, so it’s no surprise seeing it there. Gold studs decorate the flashy silver leather and continue onto the bow, and unfortunately there is nothing cute about that! It’s the rare occasion that gold and silver partner up successfully, and this isn’t one of them. The leather ...
Kate Beckinsale’s looking uncharacteristally super-casual in this pic, but just because she’s schlepping around in jeans and a baggy tee doesn’t mean that she can’t bring out the big guns, namely a gorgeous camel-colored Valentino Histoire Purse. Also a big hit with Angelina Jolie and her daughter Zahara, this elegant purse features braided details and front pockets that offer plenty of storage space. A handbag this sophisticated is destined to stand the test of time, making it ...
Studded details are showing up all over handbags these days. It’s not my favorite thing, but at times it can be pulled off, especially if it isn’t designed with biker babe-chic in mind. That seems to be the case with this Valentino Madison Studded Tote. It’s actually a bit on the plain side, even with the gold studs, pleated leather and large size. It works fine as an everyday tote if you need something basic with the slightest bit ...
Whether he’s dressing A-listers for the Academy Awards or giving the rest of us dresses, shoes and bags to drool over, Valentino Garavani is always busy making sure we all look ridiculously glamorous. His purses especially are such a study in decadence, with their indisputably gorgeous designs and ability to turn heads. The new Animal-Print Handbag is a great example. Though the ubiquitous animal print gets a little tired after a while, here it’s striking in black and white. Teamed ...
Valentino hits it out of the park yet again with this gorgeous, low-key and stylish Blossy Rose Bag. The combination of soft, blush-toned leather and gold trim is irresistible, but it’s the way the leather pleats into a delicate rosette that really captures attention. A design meant for the true girly-girl, this sweet handbag is practical for everyday purposes but looks nothing like the basic everyday bag. The style isn’t highly trend-driven and will undoubtedly stand the test of time. ...
Things are coming up roses over at Valentino! This pleasant, head-turning Rosette Tote is attractive with its bright fuchsia print, black patent leather trim and gold hardware. It’s got the makings of a complete winner, but it’s a bit too substantial. As a result, the print really overwhelms and ends up a bit matronly and fuddy-duddy - surely not the effect Valentino was going for. On a smaller purse, this would be lovely. Available to pre-order for $1950 ...
Judging by Lucy Liu’s haute-to-trot outfit (and dazzling gold Valentino braided leather purse), her new show “Cashmere Mafia” is picking up right where “Sex and the City” left off. Lucy’s beautifully draped hot pink dress is to die for, her white coat is sublime, and the ridiculously luxurious Valentino is the icing on the cake. I can’t wait to start ogling the killer fashions this show promises.

Serving up a little cutesy charm with elegance is nothing new for Valentino. That’s perfectly evident on this Polka Dot Clutch, which is a sweeter take on the Fleur Patent Handbag. Anyone would feel comfortable pulling this beauty out on a warm spring day, but it’s equally appropriate to carry to a dressy party. It’s the perfect piece for infusing some girly spirit into your ensemble, especially if your dress is on the edgy side of glamorous; it ...
Natural can mean many things in the handbag world: simple, mute, even boring at times. I’m inclined to go with the latter when faced with this Valentino Double Handle Purse. A large black leather bow is just not enough to bring this carryall to life - in fact, it’s kind of an awkward detail on a shopper with such a ho-hum color. You might as well just carry a much cuter Easter basket. Available for $1395 at Neiman Marcus.

Ack! What is the point of carrying a gorgeous red Valentino Histoire Bag if you’re going to pair it with holey jeans, ugly snow boots, and a puff-ball keychain? Well, Nicolette Sheridan?? Looks like the “Desperate Housewives” star put all of her style energy into her handbag choice, which smartly comes in the red hue that is so hot right now. Still, I’d prefer it if Nicolette saved a great luxury purse like this for a dressier outfit that ...
