Despite the fashionable portrayal, fans couldn't help but comment on the perceived unrealistic depiction of Jenner handling her own luggage in a commercial airport. Many pointed out that Jenner is typically accustomed to traveling privately with assistance, contrasting the scenario presented in the commercial.

"Going places with Kendall Jenner," Gucci wrote in their Instagram caption.

"Neon accents bring a contemporary edge to legacy pieces from the Gucci Savoy collection in the latest campaign."

Gucci's Instagram post featuring the commercial garnered a mix of reactions from amused trolls.

One user wrote, "She only flies prívate with handlers."

Another user said, "I've never seen anyone so happy flying commercial. Maybe I'll get the bag too."

Other fans asked where Bad Bunny was. "No bad bunny and Kenny this time ???" said another user.

Kendall dated Bad Bunny last year; she now appears to be dating Devin Booker again, ex-boyfriend of Bad Bunny. In a Gucci advertisement last year, Kendall and Bad Bunny were also seen in an airport.

Kendall Jenner’s Pepsi ad was pulled after social media backlash

Pepsi faced a wave of criticism and ultimately pulled an advertisement featuring model Kendall Jenner after facing intense backlash on Twitter.

The ad depicted Jenner participating in a photo shoot while a peace protest passed by. She then joins the protest, discarding a blond wig and handing a can of Pepsi to a police officer at the front of the crowd. The officer accepts the drink, prompting cheers from the demonstrators.

Pepsi's intention with the ad was to appeal to millennials, highlighting moments of unity, action, and passion. However, the depiction of Jenner's involvement in a protest scene alongside the simplistic resolution of offering a soda to a police officer sparked widespread criticism.

In response to the backlash, Pepsi issued a press release acknowledging the misstep and announcing the withdrawal of the ad. The company stated that it aimed to promote a message of unity and peace but admitted to missing the mark and apologized for any offense caused.
