These were taken last March 2 while Charlize Theron was at the airport in Paris waiting for her luggage. Which took an hour to arrive. After a long flight. That was delayed for two hours.

After an ordeal like that, who’s got the time look this good? Apparently, Charlize does. Not only did she wait patiently with the rest of her fellow travelers (sans the famous celeb attitude),  but she also still found humor in the whole situation and actually laughed when their luggage finally arrived.

Charlize Theron is just absolute perfection in these pictures. The trench coat, the super skinny jeans, the high-heeled pumps, the dark sunglasses, and that bag – everything is just perfect! She looks just like the A-list celeb that she is. Other lesser celebs or even her equals could learn a thing or two about candid paparazzi shots from her.

Anyway, I specifically chose the pictures above because they focused on the exquisite bag that Charlize is carrying. Still haven’t ID’ed it, but that’s not stopping a search for a lookalike!

Here are buckle bags that are also made of soft, supple distressed leather in our favorite style – the cross body:

The extra options give us more to play on, not to mention allow us to plan more outfits around on.

Inspired by last week’s post on the Lucky Brand Patch Abbey Road Bag, we went looking for more bags that give bang for our buck. Here are 5 crossbody bags that turn into totes and more:

High Fashion Handbags Medium Fold Over Cross Body

The 3″ double metal handles are what sold us on this bag. This is also available in black and ivory (both gorgeous), but the fuchsia pink is the only one with a pebbled leather finish. $186.00 on eBags.com.

Fossil Harper Foldover Tote

Fossil created a winner with this tote when they put contrasting fabric prints on the handles and the bag’s main body. The light and dark floral prints are equally beautiful, but this neutral multi print will be easier to mix and match with. $108.00 on eBags.com.

Joe’s Handbags Denise Fold Over Crossbody

Another crossbody tote in a great pattern, this bag also has a contrasting plain-handle-and-printed-body design. The extra thick foldout handles keep the bag in proportion when used as a tote, and extra long width doesn’t look awkward when it’s folded over as a crossbody bag. Now 33% off, $149.99 at eBags.com.

The Sak Handbags Solana Crossbody

If you’re the kind of person who likes using only one bag for each day, then we suggest going for this one. Its classic design is good enough for everyday, but the sleek black leather, gold hardware, and sassy silhouette will still win over the stylish crowd. Now $125.84 at Zappos.com.

Foley + Corinna Disco City Bag

This is actually a mini version of a different Foley + Corinna bag, but based on the model, it looks like it’s just the right size. It gives the appearance of a big clutch when folded over and worn as a crossbody bag, but it’s still roomy enough as a tote. The rolled handles and the super soft pebbled leather make this bag so lovable. $198.00 at Shopbop.com.
