Selling Sunset Season 4 is streaming now on Netflix, and Christine Quinn remains reality TV's greatest villain. And like the Disney villain Cruella De Vil before her, she knows how to turn a look.
Season 4 contains many fabulous looks (even when Christine is nine months pregnant), but one accessory in particular has got viewers' attention.
In Episode 1, she goes on a house viewing with boss Jason Oppenheimer in a black mesh dress and a black and silver blazer with some major shoulder pads. What would you choose to accessorize that outfit with? The answer, if you are Christine Quinn, is a chair purse – that is, a diamante encrusted mini chair on a strap. With literally no place anywhere to actually put anything inside it.
"You don't hold anything," she explains to a bemused Jason, "it's a fashion statement." Should you so choose, that fashion statement is available to you now.
Where to buy Christine Quinn's chair purse
The chair purse is made by New York fashion brand Area, whose current collection includes a lot of crystal-covered pieces.
Prime among them is the company's pavé crystal chair bag, made in collaboration with fellow brand MyReality. This is a smaller version of the real crystal-studded chairs that Area had around their runway during New York Fashion Week in February 2020.
At that time, MyReality co-creator Tyler Billinger told Vogue: "We were like, 'Want to do the biggest f***-you to the mini bag?' The chair is a bag that is an accessory. You can put a coin in it, but [otherwise] there is nothing going in there, which is what we are obsessed with."
The piece is available on the Area website at area.nyc, where it will cost anyone looking for the Christine look $895. Made of zinc and covered with glass crystals, it comes with a chain, and comes in clear and silver versions.
If you are in the market for chair-based accessories, the company also sells small crystal chairs as earrings. A red one (and they come separately rather than in pairs) costs $380, while a blue and silver one will set you back $420.
Thanks to OK Magazine, who photographed her wearing the outfit in April, the statement blazer is from Balmain and cost $4886.
Christine spoke about her wild fashion taste in an October 2020 interview with Vogue. The Selling Sunset star said: "This is going to sound so conceited, but I really can't look back and be like, 'I can't believe I wore...' I felt like everything that I've worn had a purpose and a story."
Selling Sunset Seasons 1 to 4 are streaming now on Netflix.
