Chrissy Teigen Wore a $15K Gucci Bag With Ripped Skinny Jeans in Beverly Hills
We recently did an entire story on how celebrities dress while out and about in Beverly Hills. It’s certainly an interesting juxtaposition because it’s where the laid-back California vibe and high-fashion luxury intersect. Chrissy Teigen’s most recent look for a day of shopping with her daughter proved just that. While her ripped skinny jeans and relaxed coat were decidedly chill, her accessories were decidedly luxurious. The furry Fendi slides pack enough designer impact on their own, but Teigen also wore a crocodile Gucci bag that retails for $15,000.
Why so pricey? We’ve all grown accustomed to faux croc, which is basically just embossed leather. Teigen’s ultra-pricey bag is genuine crocodile, and rare exotic skins always come with a hefty price tag. While it may not be an everyday price, the style of the bag is actually perfect for everyday use, as it’s an ideal size, can be worn crossbody (as Teigen did) or on the shoulder, and the subtle logo and classic feel makes it quite timeless.
However, who besides celebrities even has $15K for a handbag? Because of that, keep scrolling to shop a variety of covetable Gucci handbags that cost significantly less than Teigen’s, and shop her entire look if you’re so inclined.
31 Glorious Outfits From the Fashion Week That Sets the Trends
Like clockwork every season, I look to Copenhagen Fashion Week as a bellwether for trends both on and off the runway. The Danish capital’s fashion week gets the benefit of preceding those in New York, London, Milan, and Paris and thereby offers an enticing first glimpse at what’s to come. Plus, the mix of brilliant designers (both up-and-coming like Helmstedt and cult faves like Ganni) and impossibly stylish attendees make it an event to circle on your calendar in thick red pen every season. So when Copenhagen Fashion Week invited me to see the action up close, I jumped at the chance.
I’ll be covering every noteworthy moment from the week on Who What Wear as well as on my Instagram(including backstage action—stay tuned). First up, of course, is the amazing street style. Scandinavian girls like Annabel Rosendahl and Emili Sindlev join women from all corners of the globe in Copenhagen and didn’t skimp on their outfits in the least bit. Scroll down to see my favorite Copenhagen Fashion Week street style outfits from The Style Stalker.

Naples Winter Wine Festival Raises Nearly $16 Million for Children (Wine Spectator)
The nation’s top charity wine auction raised nearly $16 million last week. Murky weather did not dampen the excitement at the 2019 Naples Winter Wine Festival, held Jan. 24–27 at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort in Naples, Fla. Saturday’s live auction raised nearly $13 million, narrowly surpassing last year’s $12.8 million. And with online auction results still coming in, the event total could eventually exceed $16 million. Since its 2001 inception, the festival has raised more than $191 million for children in need in Collier County, Fla.
A vertical wine tasting and luncheon on Thursday, starring Burgundy’s Maison Joseph Drouhin and Oregon’s Domaine Drouhin, kicked off the weekend. That was followed by Meet the Kids Day and a vintners dinner on Friday, which showcased 18 celebrity chefs, including Charlie Palmer and Tom Colicchio, and more than 30 winemakers, including honored vintners Daphne and Bart Aruajo of Accendo Cellars in Napa.
The excitement persisted during the event’s live-auction main event, featuring 60 lots offering a range of experiences including fine wine, luxury cars and a trip to the 2020 Olympics. The live auction’s Fund-a-Need lot, earmarked for children’s mental health initiatives, raised almost $3 million.
