What do Beyoncé and Taylor Swift have in common you ask? Well, besides simply being two of the most influential artists of our time and having both recently released top-tier albums that skyrocketed to the top of the charts, they also share an affinity for ultra-chic handbags. Specifically, Beyoncé and T. Swift have been spotted wearing It-girl brand AUPEN while on date nights with their partners Jay-Z and Travis Kelce. And let me just say… It’s not hard to see why the two A-listers are reaching for their AUPEN bag. After all, it is having a major moment in Hollywood rn and did we mention that it’s surprisingly affordable too?

Purpose

In continuation with her recent Western-style ‘fits, Beyoncé shared an Instagram reel filled with pics from her latest outing set to her song “Bodyguard.” (It’s like she knew we’ve all been listening to this song on repeat.) Her outfit vibes for the night? Cowboy with a slight edge. Donning an ever-so-on-theme black cowboy hat, the Grammy-winner paired it with a white collared Prada shirt with black floral embroidery, a black leather trench coat, and a pair of black leather lace-up shorts from Fleur du Mal. One thing about Beyoncé is she’ll never miss the chance to accessorize. (I mean, did you see those $36 statement earrings she wore the other day?) With this outfit, her little black geometric AUPEN Purpose shoulder bag steals the show.

Alongside a pair of black sunglasses, a Prada bolo tie, and black booties, Beyoncé has a knack for elevating a neutral outfit into something even more fun. And she knows it! In one pic, she posed with her AUPEN bag proudly displayed in front of her while she made a heart sign with her hands. She is the moment, always! Frankly, we can’t believe this purse is as affordable as $180 and looks as luxe as it does.

What’s even funnier is that this exact bag was spotted on Beyoncé’s daughter Blue Ivy just months ago during the Renaissance documentary premiere in London. We’re choosing to believe Blue let her mama borrow her bag for the night or that Beyoncé loved her daughter’s style so much that she decided to twin. Either way, we’re obsessed and AUPEN has officially gotten the Carter family stamp of approval.
