Vanessa Hudgen's stunning Alexander Wang bag

A true work of art

As my favourite thing when it comes to fashion is handbags, you won't be surprised to hear that my jaw quite literally dropped at the sight of this beauty on Vanessa Anne Hudgens' arm (in the picture above). This bag is definitely going on my wishlist.

Alexander Wang is a celebrity favourite, and with handbags like this, I can see why. The "Diego" bucket bag is black leather, with studded detailing, some pockets and a choice of two straps. I just love everything about it!

Additionally, I can't talk about this bag while ignoring the other fabulous accessories. She has on a cute pair of Betsey Johnson sunglasses, and a Barneys New York woven belt.
