In August 2019, Mena Suvari joined Jessica Chastain at the It: Chapter Two premiere at the Regency Village Theatre in Westwood, California.

The American Beauty star wore an Amur Fall 2019 purple silk jumpsuit that did her 5’3″ (161 cm) height no favors. The off-shoulder style cut length while the blouson sleeves and the palazzo pants further drew the eye width-wise.

Ignoring the clothing catastrophe, we decided to focus on Mena’s accessories. We found her Cult Gaia ‘Dory’ googly eyes bag particularly interesting.

Crafted from clear beads that reflect the black screen of Mena’s phone, the bag creates an illusion of googly eyes—though it would have been even more amusing if it were actually made of them.

Mena also wore Cult Gaia ‘Flo’ gold-square dangling earrings that are worthy of attention. However, we wish the earrings weren’t grazing her clavicles because they also drag Mena’s petite stature down.

The 40-year-old actress completed her look with Susi Studio ‘Emma’ platform sandals made of recycled microsuede and rubber.
