Chanel's new 'Boy' bag

Chanel's new piece of arm candy is as androgynous as ever, but has a love story behind its conception.
Style insiders might have relegated the concept of the "It-bag" to the humble home of the dust bag, but the top fashion houses are still going neck-and-neck in creating the most desirable, must-own accessories of the season.

Blonde vs Brunette

 Victoria Beckham
Back in the day, Victoria looked quite the WAG with her white bob, leopard print dress and pink bra on show before transforming herself (along with her hair!) into a well-respected business woman.
 Beyoncé
Pop princess Beyoncé used to wear her hair sleek and silky on the red carpet but in recent months she has opted for a more wild, blonde 'do'.
 Cameron Diaz
Cameron didn't let her darker hair colour wash out her skin tone, although before long she restored her blonde, wavy hair.
 Cheryl Cole
Cheryl's hair makeover, which she unveiled on the evening of her birthday party, was created by L'Orèal colourist Amie Wilson. It was a huge transformation from her long, chestnut hair.
 Emma Stone
Actress and red carpet regular Emma Stone often experiments with hair colour, including this auburn look and a more casual blonde up-do.
 Gwyneth Paltrow
Gwyneth dabbled with dark hair for a while before realising that her natural blonde was far more flattering.
 Jessica Alba
Mum-to-be Jessica Alba changed her hair colour and matched her tan to it with great results.
 Kate Hudson
The actress tried to go incognito when she dyed her normally blonde hair to dark brown and donned oversized sunglasses and a straw hat.
Agyness Deyn
Supermodel and style chameleon Agyness dyed her boyish crop from darkest of browns to peroxide white.

 Selma Blair
Natural brunette Selma Blair went for an extreme bleached crop in 2008.

As Katy Perry 'accidentally' goes blonde we take a look at celebrities who have experimented with colour and ask, should they have hit the bottle?
 Katy Perry
Pop sensation Katy Perry, who usually sports chestnut brown hair, unveiled her new look at the world premiere of The Smurf movie . Katy described her new look on Twitter as an 'epic fail'.
 Lily Allen
Lily is not afraid of experimenting with her look but rather than dying her naturally brown hair, the singer opted for a blonde wig at Glastonbury. Later in the day she was seen wearing a racy purple jumpsuit with hair to match.
 Mary-Kate Olsen
Style icon and one half of the Olsen designer-duo, Mary-Kate, briefly wore her hair in a mid-brown tone before resorting back to her famed blonde, 'bed-head' look.
 Rachel McAdams
Sherlock Holmes actress Rachel McAdams used to have a severe brunette bob. She later reinstated her blonde, wavy hair to great effect.
 Reese Witherspoon
Reese died her hair dark while promoting her film Vanity Fair. Ironically, the actress who is best known for her role in Legally Blonde, said that she prefers life as a brunette.
 Renee Zellweger
Renee shows that the same crop in both colours can look great as long as you alter your make-up to match.
Scarlett Johansson
Scarlett Johansson, whose blonde tresses have often been compared to those of Marylin Monroe, has experimented with various shades of brunette over the years. Explaining her change from her usual blonde shade, the actress said: 'It's part of being a girl.'
