Victoria Justice Rocks Feathered Clutch at Teen Vogue Young Hollywood Party

Victoria Justice attended the 2010 Teen Vogue Young Hollywood Party on October 1 at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles, CA. The then-17-year-old actress is one of the hottest teen celebrities, so she was right in place at the star-studded event.

Victoria Justice chose to wear a grey short-sleeved wrap skirt dress and black gladiator platform sandals. Her outfit was not surprisingly from Michael Kors, one of the night’s major sponsors.

She accessorized with black and gold jewelry and finished off her look with a feathery fringe clutch:

Alright, another feathery fringe spot! I know not many people are fans of feathers on handbags, but it’s just that we so rarely see them that I get ecstatic whenever I spot one.

The last time we saw a feathered handbag on Olivia Palermo was in 2009, and before that, it was just Jennifer Lopez, so this one on Victoria Justice brings the tally to three. Here’s Victoria Justice’s clutch up close:

The fringe is a mix of feathers and gold sequin circles, which makes for an attractive textural design on the clutch’s body. The lock is adorned with a precious jewel clasp.

Victoria Justice’s clutch is the Kotur ‘Fino’ feather clutch. I couldn’t get an exact price, but Kotur handbags are generally priced between $300 and $900, with some items going as high as $1,500.
