Carey Mulligan with Classic Bottega Veneta Clutch with a Punch

Carey Mulligan was among the beautiful celebrities who attended the 15th Annual Hollywood Film Awards Gala at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California last week.

The actress wore a black halter dress with a bit of shimmer from the Bottega Veneta Spring 2012 collection. To complete the look, she carried a classic box clutch.

Carey’s clutch is a classic box clutch made of leather that definitely has an edgier look about it because of all the interesting details.

Carey’s clutch is from Bottega Veneta and can be ordered from Neiman Marcus. Here’s a closer look at the studded box clutch:

This studded clutch is also available in Bergdorf Goodman on back order status. The bag retails for $1,650.

The bag has the iconic Bottega Veneta weave detailing on the front.  The clutch also has studs on the sides which add character to it. The center of the clutch is smooth so you can hold it firmly.

It also has a wrist strap that can be tucked inside. If you need to keep your hands free, you can use the wrist strap. The bag is made in Italy.
