The public figure Ksenia Sobchak found herself at the center of online discussion after posting imagery featuring a large, seemingly empty bag. The post appeared on her own photo channel, where she shared a sequence of stylish outfits. In the set, Sobchak wore a black leather trench coat paired with a fluffy skirt, a crisp shirt, and a tie. Pointed-toe boots completed the ensemble, while a half-empty bag was held in one hand.
“I really like this commissar look,” Sobchak wrote, noting that the bag is The Row’s favorite. The caption hinted at a strong, formal aesthetic, blending authority with a hint of rebellion.
However, the reaction from subscribers skewed negative. Commenters compared the look to a shamanic image, with several remarks signaling disapproval or concern. Elements of the critique included lines such as, “If the bag is empty, then you are like a woman with an empty bucket – a bad omen,” and calls of “Stupid bag,” along with “Like this, overall,” and “Woman shaman.” The responses reflected a mix of humor, teasing, and scrutiny that often accompanies public figures showcasing fashion risk.
Earlier in the year, Sobchak faced playful ridicule over another fashion choice, specifically Stas Boretsky’s jacket. A posted photo showed a man in a white jacket paired with a brown skirt and accessories, including glasses and a gold hair clip. While the look aimed to project a bold, avant-garde vibe, fans weighed in with comments on the journalist’s appearance. Sobchak took note and offered responses to the online chatter.
In a separate matter, Sobchak has previously been noted in connection with a bankruptcy case, where fines were involved. The public timeline around these events contributed to ongoing conversations about accountability and media coverage, often intensified by social media commentary and the scrutiny that accompanies public figures in high-profile domains.
