Weekly Best Dressed List: The Arm Candy Edition

It-bags aren’t the only covetable items style stars have been seen around town with.

Here, a glance at a few of the week’s best looks.

Sienna Miller and Jamie Burke

 

 

Who: Sienna Miller and boyfriend Jamie Burke

Where: London

When: April 3rd

Why It Works: Miss Miller wins the trifecta in arm-candy awards by bopping around town with a cute boytoy (formerly Keira Knightley’s beau, fyi), darling dogs, and classic black leather satchel in tow. No comment on her suede fringe boots.

 

Nicky Hilton

Who: Nicky Hilton

Where: Brentwood, CA

When: April 3rd

Why It Works: Behold the wonder of Chanel: The classic quilted purse makes Miss Hilton’s Mickey Mouse tee seem off-kilter and cool, instead of slightly passé.

 

Ashley Olsen

Who: Ashley Olsen

Where: Brentwood, CA

When: April 6th

Why It Works: Miss Olsen takes a polished, lady-like bag—in this case Fendi’s glossy croc tote—and turns it into a hipster piece by pairing it with the downtown accents du jour: Black fedora hat, leather jacket, and black Ray Bans. (For you trend-hounds, see what I mean about the leather jackets? And Mischa has been wearing hers toocheck it out.)

 

Lauren Conrad

 

Who: Lauren Conrad

Where: Parc club, Hollywood

When: April 6th

Why It Works: Further proof of the afore-mentioned Chanel power: Those sophisticated interlocking C’s help The Hills star defy her girlish, gossiped-about image in one fell swoop.

 

Keira Knightley and Rupert Friend

Who: Keira Knightley and beau Rupert Friend

Where: Hyde Park, London

When: April 7th

Why It Works: Miss Knightley managed to incorporate 4 of the season’s must-haves into one outfit: 1) Panama hat, 2) Louis Vuitton LOVE bag, 3) Orlando Bloom look-alike boyfriend, 4) Orlando Bloom look-alike boyfriend who totes the Anya Hindmarch eco-chic shopper.

 

Bruce WIllis Halle Berry

Who: Bruce Willis and Halle Berry

Where: Perfect Stranger premiere, Ziegfield Theatre, New York

When: April 9th

Why It Works: It’s tough to accessorize an ornate dress like this Versace number, so Miss Berry did as any savvy star would do: She skipped the jewels and handbag, and opted for a high-wattage gent to complement her dress. (and yes, for you word-players, surely he complimented her too).

 

Beyonce

Who: Beyonce Knowles

Where: Narita International Airport, Japan

When: April 10th

Why It Works: The siren traded out her Vuitton for a Samantha Thavasa bag to balance out her hefty bouquets from adoring fans. Not familiar with Samantha Thavasa? Hop on their website to check out picts of bold-face names (Paris & Nicky Hilton, Tinsley Mortimer, etc) who have collaborated Japan-based handbag house.
