At a New York City screening of the Netflix original, Nobody Wants This, Kristen Bell was photographed with co-star Adam Brody on the red carpet while styled in a head-to-toe burgundy monochrome 'fit. But what really caught my eye was her Kate Spade New York top-handled deco bag ($358). And why? Because the boxy style's a favorite of none other than Kate Middleton and when royals meet red carpet, it's bound to be a style sensation.

Middleton is notorious for donning all manner of box bags in a variety of colors and styles, from clutches and crossbodies to top-handled gems. Bell paired her Kate Spade New York bag with a tailored long-sleeved button down shirtdress and tall knee-high suede boots for a full berry moment. Luckily—because everybody's going to want this—I was able to find the exact bag she she wore.
