Clutches All Over Town

This year, the MTV Video Music Awards, one of the edgiest and funniest awards shows every year, played out live with mixed results. The host this year was E! Television’s own late night star Chelsea Handler, who has her own show on the network Chelsea Lately. The usually hysterical Handler has received scathing reviews for her hosting abilities at the show, garnering a ton of negative attention. Nonetheless, the stars still showed up in full force at the gala, wearing some fancy couture and some not so hot clothing (Lady Gaga’s meat dress anyone?).

For instance, Easy A and Superbad starlet Emma Stone was seen at the show wearing a gorgeous tiny black dress made out of some kind of shiny plastic-y material like pleather. Thankfully this looks so much better than it can be described. Seriously look to the right at her picture! It looks good. More interesting is Emma’s fancy, fancy Bottega Veneta Half Knot Calf Clutch, which Miss Stone had in a surprising purple. It’s this kind of western handbag chic that makes young Hollywood look better than old Hollywood all of the time. Emma definitely nailed it at the VMAs for sure.

In the “Why is she still getting into events at all?” category, we have Full House star Candace Cameron using her new role on ABC Family’s Make It or Break It to get into an OK! Magazine event sponsored by vodka. Not very family friendly, but we can let it slide. The former child star was seen at the event with a Prada Antik gathered clutch in a pastel pinkish red hue. This is high fashion for someone who hasn’t really been on the scene in a while, so cheers to you D.J. Tanner for looking good and picking awesome clutches!
