4 Royals To Channel With A Gold Clutch

We all have fantasies of frolicking among the mazes and fountains of French palace gardens. Or, reclining on a couch in Ancient Egypt with slaves feeding you plump grapes and fanning you with huge ostrich feathers. Well, now you can feel like a true royal with a regal gold clutch.

Let us help you curate just the right outfit for you to channel any royal you have ever wanted to be.

Marie Antoinette

Lavish. Whimsical. Impulsive. The French Queen was known for her frivolity and her superb taste in clothes (and cake). Look like you belong sashaying down the Versailles Palace’s Hall of Mirrors with a gold clutch in your hand. Go for an opulent one with plenty of detailing, or an intricately embroidered clutch, peppered with roses, to enforce the Parisian theme. Pair your bag with pearls, heels and a pastel colored dress. You won’t cause a stir quite like the French Revolution, but you’ll definitely turn heads.

Cleopatra

Powerful. Captivating. Seductive. Cleopatra was a historic queen who was influential enough to wage wars, and enchanting enough make great men like Julius Caesar fall at her feet in awe. Command respect with a black and gold clutch, with a geometric form or pattern, to reference Ancient Egyptian motifs. Pair it with bright colors like green, blue and red, and finish the look off with ornate statement jewelry. You can even try an arm cuff or anklets—there’s no downside to over-accessorizing this look.

Catherine de Medici

Regal. Ruthless. Calculating. This Italian noblewoman quickly rose to power after marrying King Henry II of France. Her intellect was sharp, her political knowledge extensive and her manipulation game on point—so much so that she was nicknamed “Madame Serpent”. Be a Medici without the mean streak, with a striking gold clutch. Try a clutch with snake detailing, paired with a cap sleeve black maxi dress and a shearling collar black jacket.

Queen Bey

No list of royals would be complete without our very own 21st Century queen, Beyoncé. The performer is revered around the world, rising to royal status in pop culture through sheer talent, glamor and sass. Echo her look with a sparkly knuckle box clutch, or a honeycomb print one for her namesake. Pair it with a shimmery gold dress or, for an everyday look, faded biker jeans, a unique crop top and the highest heels you can find. Your mere presence will soon be inciting people to “Bow down.”

Whether you wish your name was etched permanently into the history books, or you just wish you were a regular on the red carpet, a gold clutch is an ideal accessory to go with all of your fabulous outfits. You may not be Queen Bey, but you can be The Queen Bee.
