Remember the yellow “trash” bag that went viral? Chinese actress Zhang Jingyi became a social media sensation after she was photographed carrying one at the 2025 Beijing International Film Festival. Some mistook it for a luxury item, likening it to Balenciaga’s “Trash Bag” pouch (priced around $1,790), but Zhang later clarified the story.
According to CNA, the plastic bag was actually a prop from her movie The One. Zhang said the bag is a “secret” tied to the film and that its meaning will only become clear to audiences who see the movie. She also introduced herself in promotional posts, noting she plays the daughter, Yu Yan, in The One.
