White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has once again become the center of attention—this time for a fashion statement that some found contradictory. Over the weekend, Leavitt posted a photo on Instagram, which quickly stirred both praise and criticism from followers.
Leavitt Takes a Jab at France
The backlash stemmed from Leavitt’s recent strong remarks about France. After a French politician suggested that the Statue of Liberty, which was a gift from France, should be returned, Leavitt did not hold back in her response.

“My advice to that unnamed low-level French politician would be to remind them that it’s only because of the United States of America that the French are not speaking German right now, so they should be very grateful to our great country.”
Her direct response resonated with many but also sparked heated discussions online. However, it wasn’t just her words that had people talking—it was what she was carrying.
Luxury Handbag Draws Attention
Despite her critical stance on France, Leavitt was seen holding a Louis Vuitton Neverfull MM tote, a designer handbag from one of the country’s most famous luxury brands. The $2,030 accessory didn’t go unnoticed.

One commenter was quick to point out the irony, writing:
“Why have a Louis Vuitton bag if everything from France is so bad????”
While some called out the apparent contradiction, many of her supporters rallied to her defense.
“Absolutely stunning representation of our country! Thank you for what you do and for standing with President Trump!” one follower wrote.
Another chimed in with praise:

“Wow, Karoline, you look fantastic. It’s good to see such professionalism in action.”
A third supporter added:
“Young, intelligent, and absolutely stunning. It’s so refreshing to see!”
Focusing on Family Amid the Debate
At just 27 years old, Leavitt holds the distinction of being the youngest White House Press Secretary in history. While critics often target her age and experience, she appears unfazed by the noise.
Instead of engaging in the social media debate, Leavitt spent her weekend enjoying time with her young son.
She shared a heartwarming snapshot of the toddler helping her bake, captioning it:
“Sunday morning muffins with my sous chef.”

Later, she posted another sweet moment—a photo of her son being pushed in a stroller by an elderly family member, writing:
“Niko being pushed by his great grandma!”
While critics debate handbags and politics, Leavitt remains focused on her role in the administration and her life at home.
