While the [Grammy-nominated star](https://time.com/99505/lizzo-luv-it-song-premiere/ "undefined") was striking in her custom one-shouldered ruffled orange Valentino dress, her outfit may have been overshadowed by one diminutive accessory. The “Truth Hurts” singer, who was nominated for three awards, including new artist of the year, hit the red carpet with a miniature Valentino purse that was so ridiculously small it could only dangle from two fingers. “@maisonvalentino bag big enough for my f—s to give,” she wrote in the caption on [her official Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/p/B5RIJ9hhSPN/?utm%5Fsource=ig%5Fembed "undefined") account. When asked what she was carrying in her minute bag, [Lizzo](https://time.com/5613224/rihanna-cheering-lizzo/ "undefined") told [PopSugar](https://www.popsugar.com/fashion/lizzo-valentino-bag-at-the-american-music-awards-2019-46940885 "undefined"), “Oh I’ve got tampons in here, a flask of tequila, condoms…” The inch-sized accessory caught the attention of the red carpet fashion reporters as well as the internet, who quickly responded with [memes](https://time.com/5602236/lizzo-boys-meme/ "undefined") about the tiny bag and what it might contain. > [](https://twitter.com/blanksspacx/status/1198746044818972673) > [](https://twitter.com/joannievillegas/status/1198776201311113216) > [](https://twitter.com/benyahr/status/1198747635664015360) > [](https://twitter.com/Seanlofficial/status/1198747287587106816) > [](https://twitter.com/taylorowens37/status/1198755581093392385) > [](https://twitter.com/kayleeee/status/1198773846880477185) > [](https://twitter.com/Aliver%5Fiii/status/1198783907233185798) > [](https://twitter.com/MitchACampbell/status/1198782808044527616) > [](https://twitter.com/cryingforkarla/status/1198746294090637318) > [](https://twitter.com/hello%5Fjaime/status/1198922499775434752) > [](https://twitter.com/kbeninato/status/1198765098866794497) > [](https://twitter.com/Ciara%5FKnight/status/1198885522774601728) Of course there was a Spongebob reference. > [](https://twitter.com/Nickelodeon/status/1199098325586382849) > [](https://twitter.com/lizzostinybag/status/1199076596931428352) And the fan art reimagining Lizzo as the tiny figure dwarfed by a massive bag commenced. > [](https://twitter.com/lizzo/status/1199017715207266304) > [](https://twitter.com/tjpurba9/status/1199098900709167104) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5738714/mini-valentino-bag/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5738714/mini-valentino-bag/"},"headline":"No Star Shone Brighter at the 2019 AMAs Than One Teeny Tiny Bag and the Memes Keep Coming","datePublished":"2019-11-25T14:50:50.000Z","dateModified":"2023-12-12T20:32:04.000Z","description":"Lizzo’s teeny tiny bag was the true star of the music awards show.","url":"https://time.com/5738714/mini-valentino-bag/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","Music","viral"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltbf5890b5d610983d/698a06a00116822fb597e97f/minivalentinobag.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltbf5890b5d610983d/698a06a00116822fb597e97f/minivalentinobag.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"2019 American Music Awards - Arrivals","caption":"Lizzo mini Valentino bag","creditText":"Taylor Hill&FilmMagic","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5738714/mini-valentino-bag/","name":"No Star Shone Brighter at the 2019 AMAs Than One Teeny Tiny Bag and the Memes Keep Coming"}}]}] ```
