Lily Allen and the Gucci Regret

We have always loved Lily Allen, but today we love her more.

It's because of the London Times article that tells us she was given a Gucci Indy Bag during her interview with Claudia Croft, who writes this:


"Allen heaves the bag out of its packaging, takes one look at its gaudy detailing and, instead of squealing with girlie delight, wrinkles her little button nose and laughs in mock horror. “It’s so heavy,� she says; then adds, “It’s soooo Sarah Harding�, referring to the brash, blonde Girls Aloud member, before delivering her final, damning verdict: “It’s f***ing vile.�

The bag is obscene, but it's probably nothing compared to the looks on the faces of Gucci publicists when they read the article this morning.

Oops.

Lily then admits to loving YSL, and also her new line from New Look, which you can (finally) see by clicking below!

I happen to like that bag. I mean, I wouldn't buy it, but I think it's cute. And, um, her line looks like F21 in not a good way. Hate it.

I've never seen anything even comparable to five out of six of those pictures at forever 21. I'm sure they don't carry an array of ruffled dresses with awesomely colored tool underneath.

I think most of looks adorable.

The bag is gross. I hate tassels on my dad's shoes and I hate them on bags that look like they could double for a mirror.

Hey Laur,

Great question. New Look's ecommerce site goes live in June, so I believe you'll be able to order online there the same way as TopShop.

I don't confess love for that bag, but neither do I like her line. But I do find her honesty charming!

It's not that bad, but I'm having trouble picturing how you could work it into an outfit without looking too chav or like a footballer's wife. And I am terribly sorry but there's something about her that I don't like (and her music is terribly boring).

Plus, if I got a designer bag, ny bag really, I would be happy. But I guess she's spoiled.

HA! "vile" i love it.

you could get that bag at Rainbow for a dub maybe $15.

i agree that its bad but not as bad as that wretched "LV Tribute" bag.

whether or not I'd carry the bag, I love that she didn't censor her reaction. Designer does not always = good, and it's nice to see someone not blinded by the brand! (blinded by the finish on the bag, however, is another thing.)
