Look mom, no hands! This seems to be the motto among celebrities, such as Jessica Biel, Jennifer Aniston and Sarah Jessica Parker, who have all been wearing shoulder bags lately. And Oprah is another A-lister who can’t resist this practical trend.
The media mogul recently attended a book launch party wearing a striking all-white ensemble, which she accessorized with a matching crossbody bag that kept her hands free and looked fabulous in the moment.
