Watts was spotted wearing a New York City bag earlier this week along with other Prada items, including a nylon trench coat, tortoischell sunglasses and a timeless slingback. She finished her look with wide cuffed leg jeans and gold earrings, but she could have easily styled her handbag with one of Prada’s more dressy options, such as an LBD or a tailored skirt set. Her simple and refined wallet is the mainstay that looks like a thoroughbred.

However, Prada mini bucket bags are not the only kind of accessory that has gained popularity in fashion. This shape, which has been declining in recent years thanks to other trending styles like the Saint Laurent’s Le 37 and Gucci’s 73, is quickly becoming a fan favorite. Tory Burch’s Viral Romy Bag, Longchamp’s Le Roseau and Chloé’s Straw Kerala set miniature bucket bags for serious success. Are you ready?
