Kim Kardashian sparks laugh with '$10m Birkin bag heist '
Kim Kardashian has set social media ablaze after sharing a viral fanmade AI video that imagines her stealing the original 1984 Hermès Birkin bag, which recently sold at auction for a record-breaking $10 million.
The cheeky animated clip, originally posted by Instagram creator RickDick, portrays a glam, computer-generated Kim shattering the auction case glass, snatching the coveted bag, and sprinting away in full-blown fashion heist mode.
Dressed in a look inspired by her recent Balenciaga runway appearance at Paris Fashion Week, where her walk drew mixed reactions, the AI-Kim triggered both hilarity and praise from fans.
Kim, 44, reposted the spoof to her Instagram Stories, seemingly embracing the lighthearted jab at the frenzy surrounding the ultra-rare Birkin and her own recent runway memes.
One fan joked: “Mrs Bezos keeping the engine running outside,” while another quipped: “Brava Kim, it was yours.”
The moment also references pop culture history: the Hermès Birkin gained iconic status thanks to shows like Sex and the City, where characters went to extreme lengths to land the bag.
Despite some online teasing about her runway performance — including comparisons to “a sleepwalker” or “a tipsy housewife” — Kim’s repost shows she’s not afraid to laugh at herself.
The Balenciaga outfit she wore, recreated in the AI video, paid homage to Elizabeth Taylor’s famous silk slip in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and featured the Hollywood icon’s real diamond earrings.
