Beyoncé's It Bag Is More Viral Than Her New Meme
The latest Beyoncé meme heard 'round the world took off well into last night, bringing with it the return of Becky With the Good Hair. In case you've been living under a social media rock for the last 12 hours, Mrs. Carter was spotted courtside at last night's NBA playoff game, seemingly none too pleased with her seatmate leaning over her to talk to Jay-Z. Twitter's been losing it over Bey's unchecked facial reaction ever since.
But it wasn't Queen Bey's lesson in how to give shade that caught our rapt attention. A closer look past the singer's side-eye to the court had us doing a double take. An all-too-familiar mint-green handbag is seen sitting by Beyoncé's side, one that seems slightly out of place amid the celeb's usual high-end designer fare. By Far's unmistakable Ball Bag has become an Instagram-influencer staple over the past six months. The cult indie brand has had a talent for dreaming up accessories that the social media platform's users have consistently fawned over, and it looks like Beyoncé is no exception.
Ever since the shoe brand introduced handbags to its lineup, By Far has also become a celebrity staple, featured on the arms of Gigi and Bella Hadid, Kendall Jenner, and Kate Hudson, to name a few. The brand's many shoe and handbag styles have all been rampant on Instagram, but the Ball Bag stands a step above. It's the perfect culmination of this year's best trends: croc-embossed print, a top handle, and a pistachio/mint-green finish.
Beyoncé's exact mint-green version of the bag is unfortunately no longer available for purchase, though we're placing bets that By Far will be bringing it back soon. Until then, we'll have to settle for a few alternatives to get the look. Scroll through to shop the Ball Bag and some of our favorite green bags of the season.

She's spent the last decade living in New York, but now that she professionally works from home, she's slowly been going back to her roots by splitting time between NYC and L.A. A year ago, she left a four-year stint as a fashion editor for Refinery29 to explore the freelance life. Nowadays, she does just about everything from penning online articles (for Who What Wear, Refinery29, Elle, Cosmo, and many more) to writing scripts, styling, and finding ways to fuse her love for both Disney and fashion. Her main beat is fashion (trends, emerging brands, affordable finds, you name it), but you may find her dropping in with a beauty story every now and then. As for her personal style, she'd best describe it as a balanced blend of basics and contemporary trends, often with a dash of Mickey Mouse thrown in for good measure. In her spare time, she can be found coddling my pets (a French bulldog and a rescue cat), curating travel itineraries for her friends, scrolling through Instagram for up-and-coming brands, and watching so-bad-they're-good films.
