Zhang Jingyi grabbed attention at the Beijing International Film Festival after arriving on the red carpet carrying what appeared to be a simple yellow plastic bag instead of a traditional designer purse.
The actress paired the unusual accessory with a sleek black outfit, but it was the unexpected “trash bag” purse that quickly became the focus of online discussions.
Photos from the event circulated widely on social media, with many users joking about the unconventional fashion choice.
Some observers initially speculated that the bag could be inspired by the controversial “Trash Pouch” released by Balenciaga, a designer handbag created to resemble a garbage bag.
