Angela Bassett: What’s In My Bag?

Angela Bassett’s clutch is a double agent: adult on the outside, kid-friendly on the inside. “We’re always on the go,” she says of her twins Bronwyn and Slater, 10, with husband Courtney B. Vance. “So I carry a lot for them.” The New York City native, who plays a Secret Service director in the film London Has Fallen (out now), lets Us Weekly peek inside her & Other Stories pouch.

Who’s in Charge?

“My iPhone 6 Plus has too many pictures and videos of my kids … and lots of games. My son likes Subway Surfers. My daughter has Sunnyville Salon. It’s a split between boy apps and girl apps.”

Vote of Confidence

“I have my Hillary Clinton for President button because I was just in Charleston, South Carolina, as a surrogate for her. Go, Hillary!”

Taking the Heat

“For myself, I carry raw almonds. But the kids like Hot Cheetos. Fiery hot, ‘burn the lining of your stomach when you eat too many’ Cheetos.”

Word of Mouth

“I have U.G.L.Y. Girl lip gloss — meaning, Undeniably Gorgeous, Lovely and Young! My daughter will carry four in her hand. I have to say, ‘Put the other three away!’”

How Sweet It Is

“I carry cash for Pinkberry. The kids and I frequent the ‘berry! You trick yourself into thinking it’s good for you.”
