Beyonce Debuts Shorter Fringe in London

Beyonce and Jay-Z's On the Run Tour ended last month, and the power couple are now enjoying quality time with their only daughter, Blue Ivy.

On Tuesday, the music industry's royal family was seen arriving at London's St Pancras via Eurostar from Paris. Queen Bey made a chic sartorial statement in a maroon jumpsuit as she debuted a shorter fringe, which got mixed reviews from fans and critics. She carried a matching purse by Stella McCartney (available in black at Neiman Marcus) and wore a pair of snakeskin pumps with a striped design.

The king and queen of R&B were spotted in a matching monochrome look at Regent's Park the next day at the Frieze Art Fair. Jay-Z donned a hooded white top, a black coat, a pair of black pants, and black boots, while Beyonce dared to mix prints with a patterned ruffled blouse and a polka-dot skirt. She completed her look with the same striped snakeskin pumps that she wore the previous day.

The singer's exotic black-and-white snakeskin pumps with a graphic striped design are from Alexander McQueen's spring 2014 collection. They also feature metal-tipped pointed toes and 4 inch heels in red leather.

These McQueen pumps are already sold out at many online retailers, but you might want to try a similar version by Saint Laurent instead.

Heidi Klum Totes Her Studded Snakeskin Birkin Again!

If you had a whole lot of money like Heidi Klum, how many bags would you have? A hundred? We don't know the exact number of purses the supermodel mom has in her closet, but we're sure it’s a double digit.

We’ve featured her here many times before, and each write-up shows the blond bombshell sporting a different arm candy. But even with so many, there's one bag Ms. Klum likes carrying around over and over again. Can you guess what it is?

Yes, she’s hooked on her studded snakeskin Birkin. We spotted her with this bag in Germany back in May. She also used it a number of times last month. And, as if she couldn’t get enough of it, she used it to spice up a boyish three-piece suit yesterday (as seen above).

Do you like Heidi’s favorite bag? Or do you find the mix of snakeskin and studs a little too much?

Birkins are expensive, so if you need an alternative, you can try the following textured and studded option from Vieta instead. It’s not as structured, but it is made of snake-print (faux) leather material and features studs around the edges.

Vieta Lake Bag, $46.74 (before: $83)

Alternately, if you have the patience to do some DIY (and mess with a bag), you can grab a gorgeous snake-print tote from Rachel Zoe and stick it with black or gunmetal hotfix pyramid studs.

10mm Pack of 50 pcs Hotfix Black Pyramid Studs, $5.99

That said, allow us to end this post with another question for you. Do you have a favorite bag that you keep going back to day in and day out like Heidi? If you do, care to share it with us?

Selma Blair Makes a Yellow Statement in LA

It’s always inspiring to see moms who are still into fashion even though they already have husbands and children to tend and a day job to boot. One example is former Anger Management actress Selma Blair, who always ends up looking chic and sassy even when she’s running errands.

Recently, Selma debuted a lighter hairdo while heading to a kids class in Los Angeles, California, and we couldn’t help but love her new look! Check it out below:

Doesn’t Selma look vibrant and younger in those photos?

Dressing appropriately for the summer heat, the 41-year-old actress strutted her stuff in a white breezy top and a chic Daisy Dukes denim shorts. She accessorized with some trusty aviators, flat shoes, and a statement-making yellow shoulder bag. Selma’s adorable baby boy also went matchy-matchy with his stylish mom by wearing a cute pair of yellow shoes.

You, too, can look summer-appropriate this season by toting a yellow bag. Grab yourself any of these bright-colored pieces - we highly suggest you pick the Tory Burch bag for a chic summery finish.
