Hannah Waddingham's 9-Year-Old Daughter Made Her Clutch For The SAG Awards—And It's Truly Epic

The 'Ted Lasso' star showed off the rainbow clutch handbag her daughter made out of cardboard for the 2024 Screen Actors Guild Awards.

Hanna Waddingham was nothing short of radiant on the red carpet in her sparkling maroon off-the-shoulder gown at the SAG Awards.

But what elevated the Ted Lasso star's runway-ready look was her one-of-a-kind accessory that could only be defined as epic.


Waddingham carried a cardboard clutch made by her nine-year-old daughter, who designed it and insisted that mom arrive at the award ceremony with it.

On the red carpet, the Emmy winner, who overcame an obstacle as a drama student, proudly displayed the lovely bag for host Elaine Welteroth and said:

"My daughter has contributed my evening bag for tonight."

For starters, Waddingham explained there was "a spare bit of cardboard in the house."

And because her daughter wasn't aware of her mum's dress color beforehand, she came up with a clever solution to complement the aesthetic with varying color markings adorning the clutch, along with the word "epic."

The young designer nailed it because the clutch was, in her words, an "it goes with everything and nothing bag."

When asked how stable the clutch was, Waddingham quipped, "Unstable like its mother," and insisted:

"But look, it holds more than the average bag."

Waddingham was nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series for her work on Ted Lasso's final season.

She may not have walked away with the trophy that evening, but she will always come out on top for the role of a lifetime—that of being a mom.

Last year, Waddingham touched on her close relationship with her daughter.

She told People magazine:

"My primary function is being a single mama."
"Mommy guilt is real, but I keep saying to her that we are a team and that I have to do this. I have to strike while the iron is hot."
"I'm not so conceited that I would think that I will always have this kind of focus."
"I've always said to her, 'Mommy must take this time while the light shines on me, because the light shines on you.'"

At the end of the 2024 SAG awards red carpet interview, Waddingham said of the glamorous pageantry seen at awards ceremonies:

“This is all great but this [being a mom] is the most important."

And the winner for Mom of the Year goes to...

AOC Saves The Day By Giving Bronx Middle School Group A Tour Of The Capitol Amid Shutdown

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had people cheering after she stepped in to act as tour guide after a group of middle schoolers from the Bronx pulled up to the Capitol hours after the U.S. government officially shut down.

The federal government shut down early Wednesday after the White House and Congress failed to reach an agreement on federal spending. While Senate Democrats are in the minority, they hold enough seats to filibuster and are insisting that Republicans agree to extend federal subsidies for people insured under the Affordable Care Act.

GOP Lawmaker Sparks Outrage After Calling For Dem Rep. To Be Executed For Urging People To Protest Trump

On Wednesday, September 25, an Arizona MAGA Republican state Representative publicly called for the execution of Washington Democratic Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal because she urged anyone displeased with MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's job performance to exercise their First Amendment right to free speech and to protest.

Apparently, urging citizens to make their voices heard was a step too far for Arizona state GOP Representative John Gillette, who responded to a clip edited out of a longer video by right-wing account The Patriot Oasis (TPO). A quick scan through Gillette's X account media posts will reveal his political leanings.

Liberal TikToker Mortified After Discovering That Her Therapist Is Hardcore MAGA

There used to be a time where politics did not have to come into every room or be a part of every conversation. But in a world with President Trump and MAGA, it's not as simple as being Red, Blue, or Green anymore.

Now, the sociopolitical climate is dangerous for many people and still very stress-inducing for others. It's important to surround ourselves with people who make us feel safe and seen—and unfortunately, that might mean cutting out people who have "different beliefs" than we do.
