Jennifer Lopez's extravagant accessory selection has garnered media attention recently. The singer and actress was spotted shopping in the Hamptons on July 13 with Violet Affleck, her stepdaughter. Lopez was carrying an attractive straw and brown leather Hermes Kelly picnic bag. Lopez was seen carrying the bag out of a store in a TikTok video, and the user pointed out that even a pre-owned version of this product costs almost $70,000. The video gained 1.2 million views in a short period of time and sparked a wave of comments regarding how expensive the bag was, as per the reports of Yahoo entertainment.
The high price tag of the bag led to a mix of comments online. One TikTok user remarked that Lopez was «wearing my annual salary,» highlighting the bag's cost relative to an average person's earnings. Another user suggested that the same bag could be found cheaply elsewhere, saying it could be bought in Fiji for just $5. Some reactions focused on the perceived simplicity of the bag, with one comment criticizing it as just «a strip of leather and the basket is basically some dried corn husk in a braid.»
Despite the criticism, many defended Lopez's choice. Supporters pointed out that the singer has earned her wealth and has the right to spend her money as she wishes. One commenter admired Lopez’s beauty and expressed that $70,000 is a minor expense for her. Others echoed this sentiment, stating that if they had the financial means, they would make similar purchases. Comments included remarks like «It’s HER money» and «She can buy whatever she wants.» Many also praised Lopez’s overall appearance, maintaining that she remains stunning regardless of the price of her accessories.
