Ashley Tisdale Joins the Celebrity Birkin Club!

Hannah Weil — Wed, 13 Apr 2011 16:03:20 PDT

Today Ashely Tisdale took to the Twitter-verse to announce the enviable arrival of her very own Hermès Birkin. The delivery marked the end of a two-year-long wait the actress endured for a covetable piece of fashion iconography. The bag, created in 1984 and named for Jane Birkin, ranges from $9,000 to $150,000 and has become essentially synonymous with luxury - and not easy to come by. So, in honor of Ashley's fashionable milestone, we're taking a look at the other celebs who braved the wait list and scored their very own Hermès totes.

Celebrity Style: Nicky Hilton

FabSugar — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 11:00:51 PST

Move over Current/Elliott, there's a new denim star in town. Nicky Hilton wore the same torn Jet jeans that Nicole Richie has. LA weather is starting to cool down, so Nicky kept cozy via a slick beanie and black suede boots. Her black and white plaid blouse adds downtown cool, while her black Birkin reels in uptown chic. Nicky's always about contradictions; love it.

Celebrity Style: Nicole Richie

Nicole Richie reported to traffic school but she looked more like a girl on a splurging mission. Her orange Hermes Birkin steals the show, though the torn Jet jeans follow closely behind. She continued her beanie run and completed the look with a white blouse, black vest, fringe moccasins, and gold House of Harlow jewels. Like always, Nicole looks cas(ual) with a splash of luxury.

Celebrity Style: Victoria Beckham

Victoria Beckham and her kids celebrated Brooklyn's birthday at the movies yesterday in LA. Leave it to the posh mommy to wear a Marc Jacobs dress (on sale!) and a Birkin to such a casual place. The frock fits her so well, and I'm glad she tucked her boobies away. How cute is it that little Cruz is matching his mum in the red and black Batman costume?!

Katie Holmes' Oversized Red Haut a Courrois Hermes: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 06:00:22 PST

We all love Hermes bags, but when it's on the verge of swallowing its owner alive, it moves into scary territory. This photo of Katie Holmes departing the Good Morning America studios is an example of how NOT to wear your handbag; the handbag is wearing her! It's so big, she can probably tote Suri in there. Besides the size, I love the bright red color and the timeless style. I just wish it were two sizes smaller. Do you agree?

Victoria Beckham was spotted at Narita Airport in Japan looking put together as usual and carrying her favorite Birkin bag. The long colorblock scarf is refreshing and lends to a casual feel, which we rarely see on Posh. She shows us that blazers are no longer only reserved for the office. We'll forgive her this time for not smiling - she's heading to London to visit David's father who had a heart attack. We wish him well.

Victoria Beckham arrived at LAX from the UK looking extra bright yesterday. She matched her Pucci mini dress perfectly with her pink ostrich Birkin and purple sandals. Although I don't normally advocate a matchy matchy look, it's nice to see Posh looking so cheerful. Now it would be nice if she had cracked a smile to complete the look.

The Look For Less: The Hermes Birkin

FabSugar — Wed, 29 Aug 2007 09:00:22 PDT

Ah, the Hermes Birkin: a mystery to the common fashionista but a confidant to the stars. In the case of Victoria Beckham, the Birkin is more than a friend - it's a lover! She has multiple colors - black, tan, pink...and these puppies go for $7,000 - $10,000 plus. One would be lucky to get one in a lifetime. We're not that lucky, but today, good fortune is upon us in the form of a Look For Less!

To see the less-expensive version,

This Brooks Brothers Leather Quarter-Flap Bag, on sale for $350 (originally $698) is pricey but a bargain compared to the real deal. It has the flap, the thin double handles and the Birkin-esque buckle. It looks like a Birkin, it acts like a Birkin...it might as well be a Birkin!
