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.
