White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt drew attention after posting an Instagram photo featuring a Louis Vuitton handbag—days after criticizing France. Her remarks came in response to a French politician suggesting the U.S. return the Statue of Liberty. Leavitt fired back, saying, “It’s only because of the United States that the French aren’t speaking German,” a comment that divided opinions online.
Critics were quick to point out the irony of her carrying a $2,000 French designer bag. One user asked, “Why wear Louis Vuitton if you’re slamming France?”
Others praised her look and message, calling her “stunning” and “professional.”
At 27, Leavitt is the youngest White House Press Secretary in history. Rather than respond to the backlash, she focused on family, sharing sweet weekend moments with her young son and great-grandmother.
While debate continues online, Leavitt appears unfazed—balancing high-profile duties with motherhood.
