No matter which member of the animal kingdom you choose (cheetah, leopard or tiger, oh my!), animal-print handbags add a hint of danger to your look. And stars know it: They're using patterned clutches and bags to vamp up LBDs and everyday basics. Gossip Girl star Jessica Szohr makes her leopard bag daytime-appropriate by pairing it with jeans and a solid jacket. And a leopard print clutch is an eye-catching addition to Katharine McPhee's chic all-black look. But don't forget to use your instincts - stick to one animal-print piece at a time.
