Sarah Jessica Parker and the Fendi Baguette have a long history together. The bag was present in many of her character Carrie Bradshaw’s most significant Sex and the City moments—she was memorably mugged for it in season three, when she informed the thief that this was no ordinary bag, but “a Baguette.” The link was cemented when Parker designed two of her own Baguettes to mark the cult style’s 25th anniversary.
Sarah Jessica Parker has an impressive collection of Fendi Baguettes to rival that of her character (who recently rewore a purple sequined version in Sex and the City reboot And Just Like That…). Her love of a rectangular sparkly bag isn’t just limited to one style, however, as this month SJP has been carrying a ’90s-style crystal-encrusted shoulder bag by the Italian brand Benedetta Bruzziches.
The glittery shoulder bag (called the Vitty) brings a touch of Y2K to any outfit, and has become a firm favorite with celebrities like Margot Robbie and Kendall Jenner. While doing press for the second season of And Just Like That…, Parker has been spied on more than one occasion carrying the bedazzled shoulder bag, which features a statement clasp on the strap and crystal rhinestones, by the Milan-based label.
This weekend at the Bay Street Theatre’s Annual Gala, she wore a floor-sweeping dress with a painterly print and used a champagne iteration of the shoulder bag to add an unexpected twist. On the release day of And Just Like That…, at a press engagement with the rest of the cast, Parker wore a gold gown with a tulle skirt by Ralph Lauren, which she paired with a patchwork version of Benedetta Bruzziches’s cult sparkly shoulder bag, with gold, silver, bronze, and pearl rhinestones.
It’s certainly a Carrie Bradshaw styling move to use a sparkly handbag to add personality to either an evening or a daytime look. She’s so committed to these ’90s shoulder bags, that she was photographed on set during filming with a tiny Baguette around her neck, as a necklace-bag hybrid. The Baguette will always be a Bradshaw signature; however, it seems the Vitty is becoming a new favorite for SJP.
