London socialite and designer Pearl Lowe has admitted that when it comes to style SOS, her Chanel handbag can save the day.

According to Bang Showbiz, the 39-year-old fashionista relies on a vintage classic to add a touch of class to an outfit.

She said: "A perfect party dress is a black lace dress, black opaque tights and killer heels.

"And my mother gave me a beautiful quilted classic Chanel bag which makes every party outfit look sensational. It really is a timeless piece."

Accessories have become an increasingly important aspect of fashion and trends, with celebrity stylists such as Gok Wan encouraging Brits to customise everyday pieces.

The celebrity designer recently created an affordable collection of women's clothing for high street retailer Peacocks.

Pearl is mum to 20-year-old model Daisy Lowe, who like her mother is famous for her individual dress sense, dark locks and heavy fringe.

Both compliment their pale skin and brunette hair with deep red lipstick for a statement look.
