After spending the weekend in Japan promoting Samantha Thavasa bags, Jennifer Lopez is already back in the US.

The diva was clearly over her jet-lag, as she dined with her husband at Cecconi’s in LA last night.

After checking out her cute ensemble, which included tapered pants, a black off-the-shoulder Thomas Wylde La Cruz top, a Streets Ahead studded belt, and Christian Louboutin multi buckle sandals, I wondered if she would prove me wrong, and carry a Samantha Thavasa bag.

Nope. Instead she carried a Valentino Petale studded tote.

We’ve seen Blake Lively carrying this tote sans studs on the Gossip Girl set, but Jennifer’s bag has a harder, rock n’ roll edge, with the multiple studs.

The retail price of the bag is $4,495, which I guess is enough to buy quite a few Samantha Thavasa bags
