Michaela Jaé Rodriguez Reveals What’s in Her Bag in an Exclusive Interview with Us Weekly

Michaela Jaé Rodriguez, the talented actress known for her vibrant personality, recently sat down with Us Weekly to give fans a peek inside her purse. The 33-year-old star cleverly noted that her chic black leather bag actually belonged to her mother. “I picked this bag from my mom’s closet,” Rodriguez shared with a laugh. “I didn’t pay for it; I borrowed it—sort of,” she added playfully, explaining that her mom decided to gift it to her after noticing how frequently she used it. Rodriguez affectionately referred to her purse as resembling a stylish black version of Dora the Explorer’s iconic purple backpack, a nickname given by a friend.

Rodriguez’s journey into the world of beauty started when she was just 14, experimenting with mascara, which she describes as a pivotal moment in her self-discovery. This passion is reflected in her purse, which is stocked with her essential beauty products — predominantly from Charlotte Tilbury. Featured in her collection are items like Charlotte Tilbury’s setting powder, lip gloss, and perfume. “I always Make sure to have my One/Size Baking Puff with me to keep my makeup flawless,” Rodriguez explained, while pulling out her signature triangular puff. Rodriguez swears by the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish powder in shade 3, saying it’s crucial for maintaining a matte look throughout the day.

In her makeup arsenal, she also highlighted the brand’s eyeliner and the Pillow Talk Big Lip Plumpgasm, alongside the floral and vanilla scent of her favorite Joyforia perfume. “I want everyone to know I smell divine,” she teased.

Rodriguez also shared her practical side, revealing she carries hair gel “just in case” her natural locks need a bit of touch-up glue. “It’s important to keep everything looking right,” she noted. Additionally, she keeps a spare pair of earrings handy. “I always have a backup pair in here, you never know when you need to switch it up,” she stated.

Adding a dash of flair to her accessories, Rodriguez showed off her stylish black leather Thom Browne wallet featuring an adorable dog design. While not divulging everything inside her wallet, she humorously remarked, “There are some credit cards and a Costco card in there—essentials for a girl on the go.”

Rodriguez made it clear that her keys are non-negotiable, claiming they are always buried deep within her bag. Humor was never far from her conversation, as she quipped about having a lighter with her: “I might be the life of the party with this,” she laughed.

As for her tech gear, Rodriguez proudly carries her iPhone, albeit without a case, showing some daring in her style. “No case, but it’s in my purse just in case,” she admitted with a grin.

In this exclusive look into her life, Michaela Jaé Rodriguez showcased her blend of practicality, style, and humor, emphasizing that while she keeps her essentials close, she always makes a statement wherever she goes.
