Louis Vuitton's airplane-themed purse is taking the Internet by storm. The unisex handbag, shaped like a commercial airliner, is all the rage on fashion blogs.

Designed by Virgil Abloh, the $39,000 handbag was inspired by "tourist vs. purist."

The airplane bag debuted during the Louis Vuitton Menswear Fall/ 2021-2022 runway show as part of Paris Fashion Week on January 20, 2021 in Paris, France.

"It's my organizing principle for my point of view when I make things," Abloh told Vogue in January. "A tourist is someone who’s eager to learn, who wants to see the Eiffel Tower when they come to Paris. The purist is the person who knows everything about everything."

Not everyone loves the high priced high-flying aviation purse.

"You can buy an actual plane for far less," wrote one Twitter user.

Another user tweeted: "Can it fly at least? No but what, is this serious?"

Question: Would you purchase the airplane purse for your handbag collection?

Lady Gaga was dressed in a Gucci headscarf and Burberry trench coat on the set of her current film, House of Gucci, in Milan, Italy.

Gaga wears an assortment of wigs and Gucci outfits and furs on the set.

House of Gucci is based on a true story. Gaga plays Patrizia, who hired a hitman to kill Maurizio outside his Milan office in 1995.

Dubbed the "Black Widow" by the press, Patrizia's 29 year prison sentence was later reduced to 26 years after her daughters, Allegra and Alessandra, claimed a brain tumor affected her ability to reason.

Gaga won an Oscar Award for her portrayal of a young singer in A Star Is Born.

Kanye pleaded for civility between the 2 major political parties in the U.S.

"There's a crying need for civility across the board. We need to and will come together in the name of Jesus," tweeted the husband of Kim Kardashian. "I'm praying for President Trump's and Melania's full recovery, just as I would for Joe and Jill Biden if they were stricken, as well as everyone else with COVID-19.”

President Trump, 74, spent three days receiving treatment at Walter Reed Military Medical Center. A week later he was cleared by his doctor to return to the campaign trail.
