Gillian Anderson stunned at the 2024 Golden Globes in an elegant, custom strapless Gabriela Hearst gown, but our eyes went straight to the minimalist bag swinging at her side. The chrome finish on her Aquazzura bag reflected off the crimson carpet — sometimes appearing practically invisible — as she caught the light from different angles, and was a striking standout amongst a sea of silver handbags that trended amongst the stars.

A slew of starlets embraced metallics in their accessories, from Jennifer Lopez‘s glitzy pink clutch bag to Natasha Lyon’s gilded claws, but Anderson, who is nominated for her role in the Netflix series “Sex Education,” opted for an understated and modern approach with mixed metals. The Aquazzura Mini Purist Metallic Pouch combines the idea of a nighttime mini bag with the easy swing of a shoulder bag in a sleek semicircle shape — and there are two ways to sling it; An adjustable silver shoulder strap can be removed to opt for a hard golden top handle that folds from the base, resulting in a contemporary silhouette that’s reminiscent of circle bags from the early aughts.

It’s not everyday that a designer handbag priced below $1,000 has a moment on one of the biggest red carpets of the year, and it just rose to the top of our purse wishlist. Not only is silver a versatile tone that practically functions as a neutral, nor is it only in line with one of 2023’s most prominent trends that continues to take stake in 2024, the Aquazzura Mini Purist Metallic Pouch also simplifies the conundrum of styling mixed metals. So, you’re looking to diversify your shine in the new year, or your jewelry box truly has no bias, this bag makes the case for minimalist ease in more ways than one. Just make sure to snag it fast while it’s still in stock.
