CNBC AI News has learned that Balenciaga has released a new women’s skirt priced at $4,500.
While the price tag is hardly surprising for a luxury brand, the design has stirred up significant debate. Many observers have pointed out a striking resemblance to men’s boxer briefs.
According to the Balenciaga website, the dark blue stretch knit mini-skirt, featured in the 2025 Fall collection (Looks 50 and 54), is made of a stretchy cotton blend with a boxer-brief silhouette. It features a low-rise design and an elastic waistband adorned with the Balenciaga logo.
Social media users have been quick to weigh in, with some quipping, “Is this just lingerie masquerading as a skirt?” and “Is this really $4,500?”
Some are even jokingly offering their own “luxury” boxer briefs at a discounted price.
Perhaps surprisingly, the target demographic seems unfazed by the price point and the public discussion. The skirt is reportedly sold out on the brand’s website.
This instance is not the first time Balenciaga has garnered attention for unusual products. The brand’s $2,700 stainless steel hair clips also sparked controversy.
Reports indicate that similar hair clips retail for far less on other e-commerce platforms, leading many to label Balenciaga’s offering as a “tax on stupidity.”
