Gemma Arterton is truly such a beauty. The actress graced the screening of her now movie, Tamara Drewe (hosted by Cinema Society), in a classic Grecian inspired long black draped strapless which she finished off with a pop of green – a teal green  woven box clutch from the luxe brand Bottega Veneta.

Even in such a simple outfit, the actress was breathtaking. She simply looked like a Grecian goddess! Don’t you agree? If you are loving Gemma’s classic and classy style as much as we do, grab it without having to break the bank. Try these affordable pieces:

Today we’re featuring Olivia Palermo simply because we love this lady’s taste in fashion. We love how she mixes pieces together, always unexpected and yet always chic. The socialite and “The City” star was spotted at the front row of Tibi’s Spring 2011 presentation the other week looking like this:

What do you think? Don’t you just love her eclectic style? Who’d have thought that suede (boots), embroidery (navy dress), and a tan embossed croc (clutch) could look good together?

The dress is by Tibi and the boots are by Proenza Schouler. You can buy the dress at Shopbop and the boots from Zappos or MyTheresa. As for the purse, it’s an Hermes clutch; and we all know THAT one is not only hard to find but also very expensive, probably even more expensive than the dress and the shoes. If you can afford it, feel free to visit the Hermes boutique in your area.

Or, you can simply just grab the look for a lot less with the following:

And instead of a tan croc embossed clutch, go for a woven purse to achieve that texture. Try this one from Dan W:

There is always a woven handbag you can use for every occasion, no matter what that may be. You don’t need to limit wearing the woven purse to casual or work activities, you can stretch it to a night out or to a red carpet event.
