Prada Rete Metal Mini Evening Bag

The biggest laughing stock at the Emmy’s was unfortunately, sweet Rita Wilson. But hey, she’s married to one of the wealthiest actors in Hollywood so who’s really laughing? Hopefully, she was just having fun with her Prada dangling jingling ensemble and didn’t really think she was being avant garde and cool. Those shoes look like cheap Princess dress up gear for tots. And don’t even get me started on the dress. Seriously, throw a light bulb in there and she’ll make better ambient lighting than a shining star on the red carpet. What she should have done was complete her look with this chandelier chain mail bag just so we know for sure she is ribbing those oh-too-serious fashion critiques. And no, this bag by itself still cannot be taken seriously. What did I say about Prada sticking to basics? Even conceptually, this is a big slob but the craftsmanship on this is what is really slobbish. At Saks Fifth Avenue for $2100.

  1. just look at how much her husband is beaming at her.

    a confident woman can wear anything she wants with no explanation.

    plus everyone knows these red carpet events are multi-leveled, multi-angled marketing media circuses.

    and maybe she wanted to play and maybe she didn’t. who knows.

  2. I agree. Her husband looks like he thinks he’s hit the jackpot and maybe that’s her criterion for a good outfit, rather than whether it photographs well. That said, I do wonder how uncomfortable it would be to sit down in that dress.

  3. I would like to know who the stylist was that was responsible for dressing her for the Red Carpet event. She paid big $$ for that look.

  4. Jane from Sea of Shoes has a similar pair of jiggling heels AND she ROCKED it! It looked like diamonds on her porcelain feet.

  5. I love Rita Wilson’s personality and inherent kindness, so who cares if the fashionista in her got it wrong this time? We all need to stop being so mean!

  6. I was going to post something VERY nasty about Rita Wilson’s outfit… But thanks for knocking me back into place!!! It’s appreciated… Now about that handbag… “Yikes” 🙂

  7. It looks like Tom Hanks is laughing at her! I like her anyway even if she looks like my dinning room chandelier. Ugly bag too, maybe if it would had a shorter chain and only a few crystals hanging on one side, it’ll pass but this is too much
