Kelly Osbourne Injects Some Humor Into Her Ladylike Ensemble at the “Do Something” Awards

Kelly Osbourne knows how to liven up a rather formal-looking ensemble, and we’re not even talking about her light purple-colored hair.

The then-28-year-old Fashion Police host wore a simple black lace-sleeved dress to the 2013 Do Something Awards. But, of course, the quirky fashionista had to break the glum feel of her dress by carrying a vintage Hermès handbag featuring a smiley face.

Yes, that’s a smiley-faced Hermès handbag she’s carrying, ladies and gentlemen.

Earlier in the day, Kelly Osbourne tweeted about her preparation for the Do Something Awards, expressing that she had spent the entire morning working on her speech and feeling nervous about its delivery.
