The Look for Less Oversized Clutches

Big, Beautiful Bags
Last season was all about giant shoulder bags, but this spring, there's a new oversized bag in town -- the clutch. Hollywood's most stylish stars have been toting them around for both evening and day, and so can you -- but for less! First up? American Idol alum Katharine McPhee, who accented her ensemble with a striking plum clutch. Caprice Bianca Foldover Clutch. $399, www.shopdaja.com.

Katharine's Look for Less
Similar in shape and dimension to our splurge clutch -- but at a third of the cost -- this purple pleaser highlights the season's hot ombre trend. MAXX New York Bridle Degrade Ombre Clutch. $110, www.maxxnewyork.com.

Katharine's Look for Less
The gathered detailing on this pretty clutch is a big trend for spring (you'll also see it in the form of ruffles on clothing). Nicole Lee Patent Gathered Clutch. $30.60, www.nicoleleeonline.com.

Cam is Lean and Luxe
Cameron Diaz dazzled at the Oscars thanks to her Roger Vivier elongated clutch paired with a simply stunning pale pink Dior gown. Roger Vivier Clutch. $5,900, available at the Roger Vivier Boutique, (212) 861-5371 or www.rogervivier.com

Cam's Look for Less
A little bit of sparkle goes a long way, as evident in this elegant quilted satin clutch. Worn with or without the delicate gold chain strap, it's perfect for a wedding or special evening out. Nicole Lee Clutch. $25.50, www.nicoleleeonline.com.

Cam's Look for Less
Cameron's beautifully embellished bag makes senses for the red carpet, but for the rest of us, the exotic dragon buckle and sophisticated skinny shape fulfill the glamour quotient nicely, while adding a vintage vibe. Melie Bianco Clutch with Dragon Buckle. $68, www.shopintuition.com.

Lily's Jewel of a Bag
Even when competing with a gorgeous head-to-toe Prada ensemble, it's Lily Allen's silk clutch by the same design house that steals the show. The jeweled color is exactly what the fashionistas will be clamoring for this season. Prada Turquoise Satin Clutch. $695, available at select Prada Boutiques (1-888-977-1900) or www.prada.com.

Lily's Look for Less
This navy satin clutch is fit for a princess -- or the bagista who wants to inject just a dash of color to her repertoire of bags. Though it's more midnight blue than turquoise, this beauty is still a bold color choice for spring, and we love the jeweled clasp. Franchi Eleanor Clutch. $134, www.zappos.com.


Lily's Look for Less
Patent leather is still fresh for spring, especially when it's in one of the hottest colors -- turquoise. While not satin, this clutch has the same gathered details and boxy shape as the Prada (and the sliver clasp screams 50s chic!). Gabriella Giovanni Classic Clutch, $98, www.thelookloft.com.



Nicole is Red Hot
New mama Nicole Richie reemerged on the social scene in top fashion form and entirely on top of the spring trends. Her oversized crocodile clutch epitomizes three key spring must-haves: exotic style, bold color and glamour.
