Lizzo Amps Up Her Red-Carpet Game With The World’s Smallest Valentino Bag

If there was one popstar in particular who was feeling “good as hell” at the American Music Awards, it was Lizzo. The Vogue cover star, who was nominated for three prizes, chose a peach Valentino one-shoulder minidress with tiered ruffles for her red-carpet moment. But it was the tiny bag counterbalancing her frilly confection that scored the nod for Best Accessory.

Lizzo balanced a Barbie-sized Valentino Garavani Vsling bag in the same Tipp-Ex shade as her Stuart Weitzman heeled sandals between her thumb and first finger. While previous micro handbags, such as Jacquemus’s best-selling Le Petit Chiquito, are sizeable enough to contain a pair of EarPods, Lizzo’s logo bag, made in collaboration with Obvious Plant, was smaller in diameter than one of her jewel-encrusted nails. It was simply for the blink-and-you’ll-miss-it fashion kudos – there are only three in the world, according to the singer, who joked that she had a flask of tequila and tampons concealed inside. (See clips of her boasting about its capacious credentials at the newly-created fan account @lizzostinybag).

Fans cooing at the “Juice” singer’s itsy bitsy teeny weeny accessory can find similar sized bags at Fendi, Jil Sander, Versace, Tod’s and Emporio Armani next season – enough time to orchestrate a major spring clean of your handbag essentials to, well, nada. Lizzo might have lost out to the likes of Billie Eilish and Beyoncé in her artist categories, but her granular Valentino has pushed her ahead of the curve for spring/summer 2020.
