Jennifer Lopez, known for her high-profile relationship with Ben Affleck, recently captured attention for an unexpected reason: her choice of handbag. The 55-year-old singer was spotted shopping in Hampton with her stepdaughter, Violet Affleck, flaunting a Hermes 2011 straw picnic bag paired with a casual outfit of a white tank top and jeans.
The Hermes Kelly Picnic bag, a pre-owned accessory, reportedly cost $70,000 (approximately ₹58 lakh). This revelation, made by a TikTok user, triggered a wave of online debate regarding extravagant spending on luxury items.
Reactions varied widely. Many social media users criticized the bag, questioning the justification for its hefty price tag. Some described the bag as looking cheap or compared it to a basket found in a discount store. Others humorously noted that the cost of the bag could cover an annual salary.
Despite the backlash, a few defended Jennifer Lopez, arguing that she has earned the right to spend her money as she pleases. They highlighted that $70,000 is a drop in the bucket for her and emphasized her influence in the fashion world.
Lopez’s fashion choices continue to be a focal point of public discourse, proving her ability to stay in the limelight with her style decisions.
