You'll Spot Two Very Familiar Things in Chrissy Teigen's New Vodka Commercial
You might have one in your home right now.
Last week, Chrissy Teigen announced on Instagram that she's teamed up with Smirnoff to promote its vodka, because "they aren't afraid to be a little unfancy sometimes. Samesies." And if you've seen her napping during the Oscars or browed through her cookbook Cravings, which has a whole section called "Sh*t on Toast," you know she isn't kidding.
PEOPLE revealed an exclusive first look at her new Smirnoff commercial, and you'll notice two things in it right away. First, the commercial also stars Chrissy's mom, Vilailuck. If you're a regular on Chrissy's Instagram or Snapchat, you'll instantly recognize her. And at the end of the commercial, Chrissy toasts her and says "Enjoy that thing, Mom." It's a cute mother-daughter bonding moment over…what else? Vodka.
And the second thing you'll spy is the red Solo cup, the unofficial glassware of frat parties and beer pong tournaments everywhere. It's also the possibly official glassware of one former Real Housewives of Atlanta cast member and current star of Don't Be Tardy, Kim Zolciak-Biermann. "A Solo cup makes everything taste better," Kim claims. "And I really enjoy my wine from it." On Don't Be Tardy, she's often seen with her red Solo cup in hand.
So when Chrissy pours her martini out of the "fancy martini glass" into a red Solo cup, we can't help but wonder if she's channeling Kim. After all, it's no secret that Chrissy is a Real Housewives super-fan.
Chrissy toasts her mom with her red plastic cup, then leans back and takes a sip. We're sure Kim would approve.
