The 2009 Met Costume Institute Gala came and went, but that doesn't mean we can't continue the fun. There were so many amazing celebrity and models — did you vote for your favorites? Here you have the chance to determine which models and celebrities ruled the red carpet.
It’s mommy to be for the second time, Nicole Richie, out in the spotlight once again with one of the many
Balenciaga handbags she owns. My favorite Simple Life Star was spotted at the LAX airport dressed in her casual black tights, scarf, and tee outfit, regardless of her simplicity, I think she still looks great. Traveling across the country to promote her jewelry line for House of Harlow, I can only imagine what goodies you can find in her oversized BBag.
Newlywed (again) Heidi Montag managed to give hubby Spencer Pratt the slip and instead spent some quality time with sis-in-law Stephanie and a flashy lime green
Hermes Birkin purse. I love me some Hermes, if not some Heidi, but the lime hue is a bit too Kermity for her pastel top. I’d have gone for a soft white instead.

Ooh, look - it’s the Countess and Jill! “The Real Housewives of New York City” stars Jill Zarin and Countess LuAnn de Lesseps joined forces to promote the Countess’s new book on etiquette (which I know you’re dying to read), and Jill brought along her lovely Lady Dior Cannage Bag.
Forget Uma and Oprah - it’s Madonna and Mahina time! The Material Girl lived up to her name (er, almost literally) by toting this mega-expensive moon-inspired
Louis Vuitton Mahina XL handbag. This is one of my favorite Louis Vuittons, partly because I’m a sucker for black designer handbags that offer some semblance of versatility, and also because I love the subtle, black-dipped monogram. And how’s this for functionality - the ruched, buckled sides can be adjusted to allow more room. Smart, and chic.

Whenever I think Heidi Montag and Spencer “I’m a” Pratt couldn’t raise the cheesiness stakes any higher, they prove me wrong with a wannabe Tawny Kitaen photoshoot.
The lovely Amanda Bynes spent her night out on the town toting her Balenciaga City bag and a new fling.
Poor Katie - or should we even say that? How is it that Joey Potter evolved to a hunchback/style icon with access all of the top designers and people seem to think that she is revolutionizing the world of fashion?
