Selena Gomez is redefining what you call arm candy with her latest purse choices that will have you racing to update your holiday gift wish list. The Only Murders in the Building actress joins her bestie, Taylor Swift, in bringing a trendy-yet-accessible accessory brand onto your radar: Brooklyn-based Aupen.
Both singers have been spotted toting around the unique-shaped bags, and Gomez has been opting for shimmery statement styles that are perfect for topping off your night-out and holiday party looks. Rather than grab a tote bag to carry all your essentials in, the “Single Soon” singer is making a case with the brand’s Miracle and Purpose purses, which are also both under $300.
While Swift opted to pair a date-night look from October with Aupen’s Nirvana purse, Gomez stepped out in Paris on Nov. 26 wearing a black fur jacket and long maxi black dress for a friend’s wedding with which she paired the brand’s Miracle purse. That’s not the only time she sported it though: On the same day, she grabbed the purse to complete her black and crystal oversize blazer look, showing the accessory’s versatility.
Whether you’re looking for a stylish gift for music lovers — especially for fans of the “Lose You to Love Me” singer — or just want to channel Gomez’s style into your own, keep reading to shop the styles worn by the star.
Featuring an asymmetrical shape, the Miracle purse boasts a crystal studded pattern that’ll add shimmer and shine to almost any outfit you pair it with. The short shoulder purse also comes with an adjustable strap and features a main pocket you can carry everything from your phone, wallet, keys and more.
Aupen has made other appearances on the Rare Beauty founder as she was seen leaving the VMAs in a purple corset dress with the Purpose purse in hand (which you also may recognize from her “Single Soon” music video where it was also worn).
If you want to make a statement, then the Purpose purse in Ice is the accessory your outfit will be begging for. It comes with fringe crystal pieces that’ll move with you and an adjustable strap to personalize to your liking. Now to just find the perfect shoes to complete your look.
