Madea’s Big Happy Family star Lauren London was papped shopping in Hollywood in a swaddling black dress accessorized by a straw hat, aviators, and a Balenciaga Arena Giant Pompon Bag:

The lambskin bag has a drawstring closure, rolled leather handles, and a removable shoulder strap.

I couldn’t find her exact bag at Balenciaga.com, but you can get the $1,595-$1,895 purse in different colors here:
What do you think of the bag? Is it worth the splurge?

April 20, 2011 8:22 am
Ummm…for me …no…Don’t like this bag at all. What in heavens is she wearing?!?!?! Is it like…winter?
April 20, 2011 8:25 am
That purse looks horribly cheap and is not attractive at all, and the mirror attached is sooo cheesy!!!
April 20, 2011 9:17 am
the burse is nice, the dress is a new look for her….i’m interested to see where she’s going with this
April 20, 2011 9:26 am
Y does she hv on a big axx Snuggie..come on Lauren! Get it together. The bag looks lik it came from..walmart. It looks very regular and basic. smh@the price
April 20, 2011 10:14 am
Okay, the bag is cute. I hate her moo- moo house dress.
I expect more from a “movie star” she looks like Lisa Bonet, ugh!
April 20, 2011 10:24 am
love the bag and the dress Boho chic! where is the dress from?
April 20, 2011 11:13 am
She looks laid back and comfortable. I like the look on her. I guess you can splurge on Balenciaga bags when the movie roles aren’t swinging in when Weezy F. Baby is your baby’s daddy.
April 20, 2011 11:28 am
i don’t like the bag. and that dress is so huge she could make 3 dresses out of the material. its just ugly.
April 20, 2011 11:53 am
Very chic. I like her look. LL is rarely photo’d in “runway”. This is her style.
April 20, 2011 12:25 pm
LOL @ her Snuggie! The dress would’ve been hot if it were a lighter material. The bag looks nice in green.
April 20, 2011 1:38 pm
The bag looks like one you can easily find in any department store or mall.
April 20, 2011 1:57 pm
Lmao @ the snuggie comments. Isn’t she in L.A isn’t the weather like hot?? I still don’t know why she chooses to look like a pagan worshipper.
April 20, 2011 2:02 pm
L.A is hot right?? Why is she dressed like a pagan worshipper?? *scratching head* Lol.
April 20, 2011 2:12 pm
LA is very cool in the spring, it’s not really ‘hot’ until summer.
April 20, 2011 3:46 pm
You beat me to it @Sun Kissed. Why folks always predicting someone elses’ body temp? She could be a “cold” person.
LA is cool in the Spring anyway. #Deltamiles

She actually has on a maxi dress and a oversized shrug. If she hadn’t worn the shrug this outfit would be 10X better
April 20, 2011 5:32 pm
No bag is worth that much too me when it’s just leather…I’d pay $300 tops for any (except maybe a Birkin) Not this bag though, I’d happily buy an inexpensive non-brand version made of genuine leather. The bag looks like something I’ve seen at Forver 21, and I’d happily buy their cheapie version as well.
April 20, 2011 8:45 pm
@Sistergirl that’s exactly what I thought when I saw the pics she is giving me Lisa Bonet vibes.
April 20, 2011 10:02 pm
She looks so comfy. That’s definitely a maxi, w/ a sweater. Me likey.
April 21, 2011 10:25 am
Just because its Lauren it works for her. She gets a pass from me! When your pretty you can get away with certain things. im Just saying
April 21, 2011 12:36 pm
She looks so comfy!!
April 21, 2011 8:32 pm
Time and place for everything when it comes to that throw-over, I wouldnt use that bag!!

Looks that mary-kate and ashley let her borrow something out their closet…it makes a great pms outfit, hides many sins…lol On a real note…I think she has such a pretty figure that she should show it. Oh well im sure she felt relaxed and free that day in her dress and maybe that what she wanted.
