Sarah Jessica Parker and Carrie Bradshaw really do have a thing or two in common — they both love a sparkly bag.
Over the weekend, the And Just Like That… actress broke out her Saturday best for the SNL 50th Anniversary Special. She had two accessories on her arm, one of whom was her husband Matthew Broderick, and the other, a sparkly crossbody bag that’s almost as iconic as Bradshaw’s Fendi baguette (which was promptly stolen in an alleyway, along with her Manolo Blahniks).
The biggest difference between the two glittery bags comes down to functionality: Parker’s was a crossbody bag, or in other words, a hands-free, easy-to-carry accessory that can be strapped on and forgotten about. It’s not going to get lost at weddings or social gatherings, and it doesn’t need to be held by hand for hours on end like Bradshaw’s baguette.
Okay, we’ve covered why you need a crossbody strap, but why should it be bedazzled? Anything with sequins, glitter, or sparkles instantly dresses up an outfit — especially for fancy events.
Bedazzled Crossbody Bags Inspired by Sarah Jessica Parker
Kseymeir Rhinestone Purse
This purse is decked out with gold and yellow beads in a sun or flower-like pattern, plus silver gems covering all the negative space. It also has magnetic snaps to keep it shut, which can quickly and efficiently be opened for phone access, touch-ups, and more — and bonus, no more stuck zippers!
Lulus Glam Impression Beige Rhinestone Bow Handbag
And bedazzled doesn’t always mean flashy. This Lulus bag is primarily matte and clean, with just a tinge of silver on the top handle and cutesy bow. The adjustable strap is also made with the same material as the bag, so it’s more toned-down than those with gleaming metal chains.
Coach Nina Small Tote Bag With Signature Rivets
If you want the best of both worlds, this Coach bag is for you. The brand’s “C’s” are outlined with shiny rivets — that is, until you flip it over and spot one singular logo sans any shimmer. One four-star reviewer wrote that “the long strap does feel super comfortable when the bag is full and heavy,” while a second claimed, “[The] strap isn’t uncomfortable at all.” It also has a $528 value but is going for just $158 now.
