Awkwafinaknows the importance of a versatile accessory.
TheCrazy Rich Asiansactress(neé Nora Lum), 29, walked the red carpet at the 2019 Oscars on Sunday night with an extra-special accessory: a clutch that doubled as a flask.
Clearly not trying to hide the sneaky container, Awkwafina was spotted taking a sip from the bedazzled clutch while talking to reports on the carpet.
“That’s tequila,” she said after she turned the clutch on its side and took a sip.
Not only does the bag provide her with some liquid courage, but it also matched her outfit for the night. The sparkly clutch complimented her bold, metalic pantsuit.
