See the video that's gone viral. - by Amy Sinclair

When you’re walking your first Oscars red carpet, it’s only natural to want to celebrate the moment.

But while some would simply take a photo to remember the occasion, Crazy Rich Asians star Awkwafina went an entirely different route.

THIS Hollywood star took a swig of TEQUILA on the Oscars RED CARPET - from her purse

Doing an interview with Women’s Wear Daily, the breakout star of the box office hit film literally took a swig of tequila - from her purse.

The clutch apparently doubled as a hip flask, holding just enough tequila to get her through her first Oscars red carpet.

Video shows the moment she created Oscars red carpet history by being the first actress to down a tequila shot in front of the world’s cameras. We’re just surprised she didn’t pull out a wedge of lime and some salt to complete the sip, lick suck experience!

WWD on Twitter

So how do you get your hands on a clutch that doubles as a tequila bottle? Created by designer Guillermo - who, according to his Twitter bio is the parking lot attendant for Jimmy Kimmel! - it seems that hip flasks are making a big comeback in fashion.

Wonder if Kmart will bring out a version?
