It was a night of firsts at the 66th Annual GRAMMY Awards, which took place on Sunday in Los Angeles. Miley Cyrus, who wore a full Gucci by Sabato de Sarno look, had her first win, taking home not one but two awards.
It was also the first time a Gucci bag made its way onto the GRAMMY stage.
Cyrus, who took home the GRAMMY for both Best Solo Pop Performace and Record of the Year, accepted her award for the latter with a Gucci Bamboo 1947 bag in hand—the finishing touch to her stunning custom chocolate brown sequin dress, which she paired with Gucci Signoria pumps and a tonal feather boa.
A Pop Culture Moment
Gucci Bamboo is one of the most recognizable elements of modern handbag history. Few techniques are as innovative and celebrated as the curved handles of Gucci Bamboo. The patented method of creation was developed in 1947 by Gucci craftsmen who realized there was a specific process to heat and bend bamboo in such a way that it would retain its shape once cooled.
One of the most important bamboo shapes from the house remains to be the original (and now iconic) Gucci Bamboo 1947 top handle. Reveled for its timelessness, the Gucci Bamboo 1947 offers a touch of classic with a modern appeal.
Decades after it was first introduced, the bag has already made its way into fashion history. Now, it’s making its way into pop culture history with Miley Cyrus’ unprecedented on-stage moment.
As the brand enters its new chapter, one thing is certain: Gucci Bamboo remains.
