Hilary Duff recently shared an emotional moment with her followers, posting a photo of herself in tears after accidentally spilling coffee all over her Balenciaga bag.
The former “Lizzie McGuire” star uploaded the incident to her Instagram Stories on Friday, revealing that the spill happened while she was in the passenger seat of her car.
“I spilled my entire coffee inside my purse and front seat,” she lamented. “A whole milk latte. Didn’t even get one sip.”
Following that, Duff shared another image of herself visibly upset, adding a caption that read, “Then I called my husband and sobbed.”
In a subsequent post, the actress, who has been married to Matthew Koma since 2019, humorously highlighted a blue Lola tampon in her purse, hinting at the possibility of her being on her period.
Though the exact cost of Duff’s designer bag wasn’t specified, similar purses typically retail for about $3,000, according to Balenciaga’s official website.
Duff generally doesn’t flaunt materialistic items online, but Balenciaga bags are well-known amongst several A-list celebrities, especially Kim Kardashian.
The Skims founder revealed she owned 129 of the designer purses, an estimated amount of $387,000, during a promo video for the brand in January 2024.
One of the TV personality’s most standout bags was her $1,790 Balenciaga “trash bag” she was gifted at the 2022 Paris Fashion Week from designer Demna.
Kardashian’s daughters, North West and Chicago West, also took after their mom with matching black handbags from the brand while out in New York City in July 2022.
Lauren Sánchez, who married billionaire Jeff Bezos, also recently flaunted her $5,750 coffee cup-shaped Balenciaga bag in March.
Despite the brand’s popularity, designers came under fire in November 2022 when they released an ad campaign featuring children holding BDSM-themed teddy bears.
At the time, Balenciaga spoke out about the controversy and issued an apology.
“We would like to address the controversies surrounding our recent ad campaigns. We strongly condemn child abuse; it was never our intent to include it in our narrative,” they wrote via Instagram at the time.
The brand admitted that the use of children in the campaign was the “wrong choice.”
