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.

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.

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.

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?
