Keep it classic like Charlize with a black McQueen bag

A woman and her bag are a partnership that never ends. When in doubt, it just has to be black. We're talking classic, sophisticated black that will work with any look and take you straight from the boardroom to the bar.

For inspiration, look to Charlize Theron who has in her possession a super smart tote by Alexander McQueen. It's called the Legend bag and we assume it's because it's of such legendary timelessness. We love the simple structured style and it's big enough to fit in everything and the kitchen sink. It's perfect for traveling just like how Charlize is using it.

They have apparently known each other for decades, but only went public with their romance in December 2013.

A year into their relationship, US reported they had secretly got engaged during a trip to Paris. An engagement ring was never seen, however, and the two never confirmed the reports.

The two worked together in Africa earlier this year on the Sean Penn directed drama The Last Face, in which Charlize starred alongside Javier Bardem.

Sean was married to Madonna, 56, from 1985 to 1989. In 2010 he divorced Robin Wright, 49, after 14 years of marriage.
