Lauren Sanchez has revealed her close friends Kris Jenner, Kim Kardashian, and Khloe Kardashian gifted her a designer bag worth nearly $7,000 following her Blue Origin space trip – and it’s ‘out of this world.’
On Monday morning, the businesswoman embarked on an all-woman 11-minute suborbital flight to space on her fiancé Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin rocket alongside singer Katy Perry, 40, and CBS Mornings host Gayle King, 70.
The women crossed the Karman Line, often used as the boundary of space, and were treated to roughly three minutes of weightlessness before they headed back down to the ground.
Taking to her Instagram Stories on Wednesday, Lauren, 55, shared that Kris, 69, Kim, 44, and Khloe, 40, gave her a crystal adorned Judith Leiber UFO-inspired bag after she landed back on solid ground.
Lauren posted a close-up photo of the embellished clutch while thanking the threesome for their lavish gift.
‘Out of this world!’ she wrote, alongside the snap.
‘We love you and are so proud of you,’ Kris said as she reposted the image on her profile.
Made in Italy, the spaceship statement piece features silver toned metal hardware, a metallic leather lined interior, and a crystal inset push down closure.

‘This bag is ready for all of your evening voyages,’ the item description reads.
‘Our UFO spaceship-inspired domed evening clutch stuns in jet and indigo smooth crystal with bold star-shaped, baguette and geometric crystal details. Destined to turn heads in any orbit.’
Kris and Khloe were among the celebrities to attend the Blue Origin launch from Texas on Monday.
Speaking from the site, matriarch Kris noted: ‘It’s really something. It’s a very brave thing to do.’
She added: ‘It’s a really unique experience, and we’re just so honored to be here to support them and watch this amazing part of history. And I’m so proud of her. It’s very inspirational.’
Meanwhile Khloe said that they were proud of all the women taking flight.
‘It’s so empowering,’ she continued. ‘Really whatever you dream of it is in our reach.

‘Dream big, wish for the stars and one day you can maybe be amongst them.’
Lauren was joined by Katy, Gayle, filmmaker Kieranne Flynn, 57, NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, 38, and civil rights activist Amanda Nguyne, 33, on the brief, zero gravity joyride.
The women’s quick trip to space was not exactly well-received, with a slew of stars publicly slamming it, including Emily Ratajkowski, Olivia Wilde, Olivia Munn, and Amy Schumer.
Earlier this week, Gayle responded to the fierce criticism she has received about going on the trip.
‘This is what bothers me, I’ve certainly read some of the stuff being said online and it’s coming from people I know, people I consider friends,’ she said.
‘Space is not an either/or… Just because you do something in space doesn’t mean you’re taking anything away from Earth.’
The star also insisted that Blue Origin is fiercely dedicated to ‘make the planet cleaner.’
‘Whenever a man goes up… you have never said to a [male] astronaut, “What a ride.” [Don’t] call it a ride,’ she continued.
‘It’s called a flight or a journey. A ride implies it’s something frivolous or light hearted. There’s nothing frivolous about what we did.’
She added, ‘I’m very disappointed and saddened by [the hate]. What it’s doing to inspire other women and young girls – please don’t ignore that.’
