Melissa McCarthy and Rachel Sennott showed that fashion can be enjoyable with their accessories at the 2024 Vanity Fair Oscar Party.

McCarthy, aged 53, attended the star-studded event in Los Angeles on Sunday, March 10, wearing a stunning black leather gown designed by Valdrin Sahiti. The floor-length dress had a plunging neckline, sharp shoulders, and a lion embellishment on the bodice. While McCarthy's outfit received high praise, it was her unique cannoli-inspired Kinza Winza clutch that became the talk of the town long after the party.

Sophie Anzaldo custom bedazzled a sweet treat for McCarthy. She shared a behind-the-scenes look on Instagram on March 11. Anzaldo hand placed thousands of gold beads on the casing and used silver gems for the filling. The accessory was finished with a pearl strap. McCarthy completed her look with a voluminous hairdo, dangling earrings, and spiky gold bracelets.

Sennott, 28, for her part, showed Us that shoes don’t only belong on your feet. 

Kim Kardashian was seen sporting a shimmery pointed-toe pump as a purse in a recent photoshoot. The handbag is from Balenciaga and costs $3,900. (Kim Kardashian, who is an ambassador for the luxury brand, was spotted carrying the same clutch at a basketball game earlier this year.)

Sennott made the shoe purse the main focus of her outfit. She matched it with a fitted light gray gown from Balenciaga. The gown hugged her curves and flowed into a beautiful train. To add a touch of glam, Sennott kept it simple with soft lashes and a glossy pink lip. Her hair was styled in an elegant updo with tendrils framing her face.

As she posed for photographers, Sennott gave the camera a pout and held the purse up to her ear. 

Editor's P/S:

The 2024 Vanity Fair Oscar Party was a showcase of creativity and individuality in fashion, where accessories took center stage. Melissa McCarthy's cannoli-inspired clutch, adorned with thousands of beads and gems, was a playful and unique statement piece that stole the show. The accessory showcased the growing trend of combining food and fashion, adding a touch of humor and whimsy to the red carpet.

Rachel Sennott's Balenciaga shoe purse also made a bold fashion statement. By repurposing a traditional footwear item as an accessory, Sennott challenged conventional notions of fashion and embraced a more playful and experimental approach. The combination of the fitted gray gown and the unconventional purse created a sophisticated yet edgy look that demonstrated her fashion sense and willingness to take risks.
