Kim Kardashian has once again become the center of attention. This time, it’s not for a real event, but for her role as a 'Birkin thief' in an AI video created by a fan.
On the 12th (local time), Kim Kardashian shared an AI video created by a fan account (RickDick) through her Instagram story. The digital Kim in the video steals a 1984 original Hermes Birkin bag displayed in an auction house by breaking the glass case and then makes a run for it. The Birkin recently sold for about $10 million (approximately 13.8 billion won) at a Sotheby’s auction.
The video is a humorous parody that satirizes celebrities’ love for Birkin bags, reminiscent of a scene where Samantha struggles to obtain a Birkin bag in 'Sex and the City.'
The character in the AI video was created based on the lace slip dress Kim wore on the Balenciaga runway during Paris Fashion Week. At that time, Kim’s walking drew reactions like "She looks like a tired baby" and "She walks like a drunk person," making headlines.
The look is a homage to the slip dress that the late Elizabeth Taylor wore in the 1958 film 'Cat on a Hot Tin Roof,' and Kim added significance by wearing Taylor's actual earrings. Kim's mother, Kris Jenner, also supported her by commenting, "I’m so proud of my daughter" on the runway video.
Meanwhile, shortly after facing significant criticism for Balenciaga's controversial advertisement featuring children as models in 2023, Kim left a warning message to the brand, stating it was "disgusting and shocking." She said she would "watch to see if the brand is ready to take responsibility," but she continued to maintain a relationship with them, leading to ongoing criticism.
Through this AI parody, Kim Kardashian demonstrated her self-deprecation and delightful feedback, proving her status as the "queen of headlines" once again.
