On January 20th 2009, Barack Obama will be sworn in as our 44th President -- instantly becoming one of the most significant leaders in United States history. What will he say? How will he act? And, most importantly, what will Michelle wear?

The Four Christmases had its Hollywood premiere last night, and plenty of A-List stars showed up looking hot and full of holiday spirit. Sissy Spacek, on the other hand, looks like she just rolled out of bed on Christmas morning. Why she opted for PJs on the red carpet, we'll never know.

Read on for more missteps and style successes.

This is jet-set style done right. Eva Mendes sizzles in head-to-toe Burberry, including a stunning, hardware detailed shoulder bag, that looks like it's held together with staples.

The chain-link detailing on this chocolate-colored hobo evokes the hardware seen on Eva's breathtaking Burberry bag, but in much smaller doses. It is however, is big enough to serve as your hand-held bag while traveling. Remember, the more you can fit in your carry on, the lighter your luggage (and the less you have to spend on it) during holiday travels.

How did new mom Ashlee Simpson keep her boho chic style in the last days of her pregnancy? By evoking retro-70's cool with a suede fringe hobo.

The fringe trend comes and goes, so there's no need to break the break on this look, instead steal Ashley's style with this fun, faux option. Aside from the sweet price, this shoulder bag also has shorter fringe so it will work on any woman's arm, irregardless of height. Ashley's hobo, on the other hand, is not for those us that are vertically challenged.

Katy Perry was spotted in Sydney -- no, not kissing a girl! The singer was promoting her latest CD and she was carrying a bold, electric blue satchel. She paired it with a floral print dress and ruby-red shoes. We recommend letting the brightness of the bag stand on its own.
