An actress recently stunned the world by carrying a yellow plastic bag on the red carpet, proving the line between haute couture and literal trash has finally evaporated.

While normal humans saw a five-cent grocery carrier, elite fashionistas immediately assumed it was a $2,200 Balenciaga masterpiece crafted from the tears of underpaid interns.

The reveal that it was just a regular bag has left Singaporean socialites in a total state of existential crisis.

Local fashion influencer "Slay-Slay" expressed her deep disappointment at the lack of a pretentious price tag.

"Walau, I thought she so high-SES carrying designer trash, but actually is real rubbish only," she lamented.

"I almost go Fairprice find same bag so I can look like tai-tai, heng ah I never do!"

Apparently, Sinkies are now so brainwashed that any piece of floating debris is considered a luxury investment if it looks sufficiently miserable.
