Jessica Alba wears the latest Prada It Bag

Sometimes, elements come together to form a whole that’s greater than the sum of its parts. That might sound like kind of a melodramatic way to describe a celebrity with her handbag, but in this case, it’s totally necessarily. I’ve never been a huge fan of Jessica Alba or her Prada Spazzolato Tote on their own, but I’m digging the bag in these pictures, and Ms. Alba looks happy and ready for spring.

I’ve seen a lot of people praise this particular bag, but I’ve seen it in person, and to say that the patent leather looks like plastic would be an understatement. I kind of like what Miuccia tried to do with the over-the-top faux gemstone closure, but I don’t think that the bag lives up to the clasp’s promise. These pictures are making me want to give it another chance, though, and maybe not write it off so quickly.
