Kate Hudson Completes a Gothic-Chic Look with a Spiked Louboutin Clutch

Kate Hudson was one of the A-list attendees at the Novak Djokovic Foundation event held at the Roundhouse in London on July 8. She surely captured attention as she arrived in a leg-baring high-low chiffon dress with crystal beading on the chest and a long train that made her extra stunning.

Her dark eye makeup, tough-chic chunky chain bracelets, and pointed-toe pumps added Gothic-punk appeal to her entire ensemble. And rounding off her punk-chic glam look was her studded clutch. Check it out:

See her entirely studded clutch? That’s glam-rock drama right there! This is called the “Mina” clutch by none other than Christian Louboutin. It’s fully embellished with metallic spikes in black, silver, and gold. Even its kiss-lock closure features a triple-spike design. It also has a chain shoulder strap with about a 25 inch drop, which Kate Hudson chose to do without.

If you want to add fierceness to your elegant look, this is the clutch you should carry. Check it out below as well as its other versions:

Kris Jenner Updates Her Black-and-White Number with a Red Valentino Bag

Kris Jenner has an upcoming self-titled talk show that will debut in about a few weeks from now; currently, she’s busy touring the U.S. to do some promotional duties.

On July 8, she was spotted outside Rockefeller Plaza for her appearance on The Today Show. She, of course, talked about her upcoming show, but host Matt Lauer kept on convincing her to spill out information on whether Kim and Kanye’s baby, North West, will appear on the talk show. The “momager” stayed mum, though, and didn’t really answer directly.

Anyway, let’s see how she dressed up:

Like her daughters, Kris Jenner is always in style when she’s out. In the above photos, she is dressed in a striped monochrome Dolce & Gabbana dress. Although it was a bit simple, the pop of red brought by her heels and purse gave enough oomph to her look.

Her matching pumps and bag are from Valentino, and it’s very obvious because of the pyramid studs. We’ve already seen similar pumps from the same brand before, but it seems like it’s the first time we’ve seen this purse on a celebrity.

It’s a totally eye-catching bag. The rogue shade is striking, not to mention very glamorous; those tonal acrylic pyramid studs also add edge and fierceness! This opens through a flap top with a studded flat handle. There’s actually a woven chain strap in gold, too. Other details include the leather lining and the double compartments that can be expanded through the gusseted sides.

Are you in love with this bag? Well, this will cost you around $2,995.

3 More Standout Purses from “The Bridge” Premiere

Were you able to catch the first episode of The Bridge? How did you find it? The suspense-drama series aired on Wednesday, but before that, the whole cast flocked the DGA Theater last Monday for the show's premiere. And because it was a red carpet event, all the ladies dressed to impress - complete with well-appointed extras for added drama.

As covered in our previous post, Diane Kruger used a Charlotte Olympia Pandora Cancer Zodiac clutch for the occasion. But did you know that there were several other purses that stood out at the event? Check them out below, and see if you can ID some of them.

1. Emily Wickersham in a Woven Oversized Envelope Clutch

Emily Wickersham softened her black two-piece look with an extra large woven envelope clutch and white nail polish. The mix was unusual, but it was also fresh, young, and quite chic. Can you ID her purse?

2. Stefanie Sherk in a Shell Minaudiere

Stefanie Sherk went glitzy and glam with a white-hot fringed frock that she paired with an off-white shell hardcase. Although we weren’t able to get any official details on Stefanie’s minaudiere, we’d like to take a wild guess and say it’s a piece from Rafe New York.

3. Stephanie Sigman in a Beaded Clutch

Stephanie Sigman used her exquisitely beaded clutch as the highlight of her outfit. Her dress wasn’t a perfect 10, but she was able to jazz it up with the colorful arm candy, and the effort paid off. If you like her purse, below is an option from Moyna.

Spotted: Quirky Purses Worth Snagging at the Lulu Guinness Paint Project Party

When we think of Lulu Guinness, the words quirky, playful, fun, and unique always come to mind - qualities that are the handbag designer's trademark. So, just imagine how a Lulu Guinness party would look like; it will literally be filled with women sporting her iconic Lips clutch!

The iconic Lulu Guinness Lips Clutch in Red Swarovski Crystals, 675

That's exactly what happened the other day when the designer had a Paint Project party at the Old Sorting Office in London. Guests attended the event in their fresh and fabulous outfits paired with Lulu Guinness bags of their choice. As expected, we saw a lot of Lips clutches, but what made the gathering more interesting were the other (non-Lips) Lulu Guinness bags we spotted.

Check them out below, and tell us which one you fancy.

1. Jameela Jamil with “Mid Pollyanna” in Red Patent and “Dial M for Murder Fiona”

Jameela Jamil attended the chichi event with two Lulu Guinness purses in tow - a hot red patent satchel called the “Mid Pollyanna” and a round cross-body bag called the “Dial M for Murder Fiona.” Do you think what she did was overkill?

2. Jasmine Guinness with a “Paloma” Fan Clutch

Jasmine Guinness was one of the guests who toted the more expensive Swarovski-embellished “Paloma Fan” clutch at the event (the Fan clutch retails at 795). We can’t say we love the outfit she put together, but the clutch was downright gorgeous. Would you agree?

3. Jenny Louise Coleman with a “Doll Face Fifi” Clutch

The doll-like Jenny Louise Coleman rocked the “Doll Face Fifi” hardcase for the event. She paired it with a floral frock and a fringed bolero. Sorry, we have to say the look was bad, but her shoes and clutch thankfully made up for the fashion mishap.

4. Lulu Guinness with an “In the Red Hug and Hold” Clutch

Lulu Guinness graced the event with, well, Lulu Guinness. She chose the oversized “In the Red Hug and Hold” clutch to go with her black lace frock. What do you think of her large purse?

5. Oona Chaplin with an “Audrey” Bag

Oona Chaplin gladly coordinated to the hilt in black, red, and white. She picked the “Audrey” bag from Guinness’ line as the highlight of her outfit.

6. Ophelia Lovibond with an “Eye” Clutch

Last but not the least was Ophelia Lovibond, who turned our heads with her “Eye” clutch. Yes, now that Lulu Guinness has made “lips” happen, she’s moving on to the “eye,” for example, the new Eye clutch (which also comes in other colors).
