Phaedra Parks knows her worth. She describes her bag as filled with “odd items,” but these items totally makes sense for the iconic Housewife that she is.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta star opened up to StyleCaster about how she’s entering a new and confident era. “Well, when you first saw me, I was married to a person who was very controlling,” Phaedra says. “Now, I’m free to be who I am, and I don’t have to consider my partner. I’m single, satisfied, and successful. I can do what I want, and I don’t have to worry about anyone else’s opinions.”

Phaedra joined The Real Housewives of Atlanta in Season 3 before leaving in Season 9. She made her grand return as a Housewife in Season 17 following stints on Bravo’s Married to Medicine and Peacock’s The Traitors and The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip.

During that iconic moment with Porsha, she was wearing head-to-toe Gucci. In this episode of Getting Purse-onal, her bag is lined with Gucci passport holders and notebooks, and also the everyday things “you never know” you need. See all her bougie essentials in the video above and shop them all below.
