WHO WORE IT BETTER?
Katy Perry vs Halle Berry – The Chloé Paddington
It’s one of the most iconic bags – the Paddington by Chloé was the first ever ‘it’ bag – and it’s constantly being reinvented in gorgeous new colours. Halle Berry picked one up in silver whilst Katy Perry went for a beautiful gold. It seems they knew exactly what was coming around in fashion as metallics are set to be a major theme for Autumn/Winter 2011!
Halle has gone for a low-key, casual look, teaming the bag with some rolled-up jeans, matching metallic flip-flops and a cute, one-sleeved top in black. It’s the kind of outfit you might see any chic girl walking down the street in, if only it weren’t for that $1,837 bag on her arm! Katy, known for her quirky style, has gone for an über-short, patterned minidress, thick tights and black and gold boots for a stroll in the rain in Los Angeles – you don’t need sunshine when you have a golden Paddington with you!
This classic bag is currently available at Nordstrom in black or brown, but if your budget won’t stretch that far then not to worry – since it’s release this bag’s characteristic padlock feature has been endlessly copied on the highstreet, so it won’t be difficult to find a great, low-cost version. Paul’s Boutique recently did a whole range of padlock handbags such as this quilted black bag for £50, not to mention this Chancery padlock bag from the Catwalk Collection for £54.95 that is almost identical to the real thing!
So, who wore it better – was it Halle Berry’s off-duty look or Katy Perry’s quirkly look?
