Just take a cue from Vanessa Hudgens, who was frequently spotted toting it back in the early 2010s.

In June 2010, Vanessa Hudgens was seen shopping in Malibu, California, wearing Blu Moon’s Almost Famous skirt. The High School Musical star stayed true to her boho-chic style by styling her printed maxi skirt with a soft blouson top.

She finished off her look with an Alexander Wang bucket bag, a set of thong sandals from Sam Edelman, and some cool sunglasses from Web Eyewear. Nessa looked boho-chic and perfect in her attire.

A couple of days later, she was again spotted with her favorite bag. Hudgens also brought the bag to the premiere of Iris: A Journey Through the World of Cinema.

Hilary’s outfit is perfect for the warmer days of spring. It’s certainly not the only time we’ve spotted her carrying this bag. In April 2015, she styled her “Diego” bucket bag by Alexander Wang with Western-style “Dicker” ankle boots by Isabel Marant.

The Diego bucket bag has rock star appeal, especially once you see the bottom, studded to the bone with brass hardware.
