Beyoncé Stays Practical about Spending Money on Overpriced Designer Handbags

Posted on: May 18

It seems almost contradictory to report about the practical outlook that Beyoncé has on fashion when she's constantly seen toting some of the most expensive luxury handbags.

However, unlike the Birkin-obsessed Victoria Beckham's of the world, this soulful singer/sometimes actress claims to have a limit when it comes to spending money on fashion. Beyoncé recently described her non-diva, laid-back style to The Mirror:

"I don't know if I'm fashion obsessed. I think when I’m working, yes, but when I’m at home I usually wear the same thing every day. I have my straight-leg jeans and a pair of Christian Louboutins and a little jacket and a white shirt. I get sent about fifteen designer bags a month. I can only imagine how much they cost. Even I wouldn’t buy some of them."

Well, it's not as if she can be labeled a budget fashionista while stomping around in Louboutins every day, and I certainly don't feel sorry for her having to deal with mountains of designers bag handouts every month (like her $42,000 Louis Vuitton Tribute ... what a nightmare). However, with most shoppers pinching pennies these days, I suppose it's nice to hear that even ridiculously overpaid celebrities might know when to reign in the spending.
