Comedian trolls the Emmys red carpet with a Getty Images purse

An icon.

Here's one way to land a good photo.

Comedian Emily Heller showed up to the Emmys red carpet on Monday dressed in a sequined geometric gown, signature glasses, and curly hair piled in an updo. She topped off the look with a grey clutch emblazoned with the Getty Images logo.

"You know who was really excited to take pictures of this purse?" Heller tweeted. "@gettyimages. You know who wasn't? Every other photographer there."

In addition to going viral, we have to give Heller props for bringing a purse that can actually hold something more than a sliver of an iPhone. What did she bring to the red carpet? A book in case she gets bored? A spare set of sensible shoes to change into once the photo ops are over? The secrets of the universe itself?

Heller hasn't explained why she chose that bag, but she could be poking fun at when people post photos with Getty's watermark.

She joked that she had to arrive early so that she'd get in photos.

And admitted that it was difficult to keep the purse a surprise.

It definitely got her noticed!
