White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, 27, has sparked online debate after sharing photos featuring a Louis Vuitton handbag. Known for her confident and
outspoken style, Leavitt recently criticized France over remarks about the Statue of Liberty—making her choice of a French luxury brand stand out to critics.
Opponents accused her of hypocrisy, while supporters defended her right to personal expression, calling the backlash overblown and sexist.
Many pointed out that women in politics often face heightened scrutiny for appearance and fashion choices that male counterparts rarely encounter.
Political analysts noted how minor wardrobe details can quickly become symbolic in today’s media-driven landscape. Despite the buzz, Leavitt appeared unfazed,
continuing her duties and sharing family moments on social media, including photos with her young son and his great-grandmother.
The controversy highlights a broader issue—the fine line between personal freedom and public image faced by modern political figures.
Leavitt hasn’t publicly commented on the handbag debate, but the episode underscores how easily
online perception can shift, reminding us that in the digital age, even a designer accessory can spark a national conversation.
