los angeles - are you surprised? i'm (sort of) not. it's been announced that hayden panettiere will be the new face of dooney & burke. like other celebs before her - emma roberts was the latest - she has collaborated on the design of a special edition bag to be named after her. according to wgsn.com, it is a "large leather shoulder bag with puffy pleats and buckle closure." sounds just as bland as the celeb who inspired it. (was that catty blaynista's!?) panettiere follows in the footsteps of mischa barton, lindsay lohan and emma roberts, all of whom have been designers/spokesmodels for the brand.
