Ireland Baldwin isn’t shying away from the latest online controversy.

The 30-year-old actress has called out Kim Kardashian for sporting what looks like an elephant-leather Birkin bag on the Hulu legal series All’s Fair.

The fashion account Birkin Junky — run by Daniel Wesson — shared a video on Friday showing the 45-year-old reality star holding the gray Hermès handbag in a scene from the show.

In addition to the reality star, All’s Fair features Sarah Paulson, Glenn Close, Niecy Nash, and Naomi Watts, who play a group of divorce attorneys starting their own law firm.

In Wesson’s clip, Kardashian is seen posing with the alleged French luxury handbag during a break from filming.

Baldwin responded to the post, writing, “This is … beyond,” according to BuzzFeed.

“This is so disgusting and shameful,” Baldwin continued on her Instagram Stories. “I don’t understand how these people are supported the way they are.”

Baldwin’s cousin, Hailey Bieber, is closely connected to the Kardashian-Jenner clan. The Rhode founder, 29, has long been best friends with Kardashian’s younger sisters, Kendall and Kylie Jenner.

The Post has reached out to Kardashian’s representative for comment.

“Hermès no longer produces elephant-leather bags — thankfully,” Wesson wrote in his caption. “But in the 1980s, a client placed a custom order using an elephant hide sourced from a hunting safari. They’re incredibly rare, but when one surfaces, it always sets the internet off.”

Many social media users also expressed outrage in the comments.

“No no no no no no,” one person wrote, while another added, “This is where I draw the line.”

A third commenter said, “Noooooooo — so cruel. Unacceptable.”

In April, PETA reported that while Hermès never “officially” sold elephant-leather bags, they were made using elephant skin.

The animal rights organization added that the elephants were reportedly killed on a safari in the 1980s.

Meanwhile, Kardashian teamed up with stylist Soki Mak to craft her character Allura’s wardrobe, drawing on vintage pieces from fashion icons like Donna Karan and John Galliano.

Many viewers, however, criticized Kardashian’s “unrealistic” fashion choices on the show.

“She would’ve looked hot if it just didn’t show her thong, so why not just go with that?” one social media user wrote, according to the US Sun. “Now it makes the show even more unrealistic. What person would actually hire that lawyer?”

Stylist Soki Mak, meanwhile, remained unbothered and defended her choices.

“Honestly, when I first opened the DM from Kim, I thought it was a fake profile,” she told Vogue earlier this month. “We had collaborated on a few projects before the All’s Fair opportunity came around. Everything was moving so fast that I didn’t really have time to process the magnitude of what I was about to embark on. It was all very last-minute.”

Stylist Soki Mak explained that both she and Kardashian “knew the show would be a talking point, whether or not it’s to someone’s taste. What we were trying to convey with Allura is that she doesn’t care what other people think. She knows exactly what she likes, doesn’t follow trends, and has her own style — and she has fun with it.”

Mak added that Allura “exudes confidence” as she walks “down the hallway in the law office.”

While the outfits were “obviously exaggerated for TV,” both Kim and producer Ryan Murphy immediately understood the vision.

Despite the high-end fashion showcased across the 10-episode series, the legal drama has been widely panned by critics.

“Fierce, brilliant, and emotionally complicated, they navigate high-stakes breakups, scandalous secrets, and shifting allegiances — both in the courtroom and within their own ranks,” reads the show’s official logline. “In a world where money talks and love is a battleground, these women don’t just play the game — they change it.”

The show holds a 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and has now dropped slightly to just 3%.

The Post’s TV critic Lauren Sarner called All’s Fair a “trainwreck,” describing “every creative choice” as “baffling.”

“I did not know it was still possible to make television this bad,” Lucy Mangan of The Guardian wrote.

USA Today’s Kelly Lawler labeled the series “the worst TV show of the year.”

Several cast members quickly came to the show’s defense.

Earlier this month, Anthony Hemingway, who directed four episodes, told The Hollywood Reporter, “You’re not going to please everybody.”

“You may have certain criticisms, while there are a million others who love it,” the 48-year-old explained. “I think the show holds a mirror up to each person who watches it. It’s just about: Can you connect to it or relate to it, and see yourself? It may be out of your league, it may not be anything you can connect to, and I think that goes for anything that gets presented on screen.”

Glenn Close, 78, defended the series following negative reviews, telling The Guardian: “I swear to God, I’ve seen all nine episodes and it’s pretty f–king good. It is what it is: it’s juicy and outrageous at times and touching.”

The veteran actress also praised working with Kardashian.

“She’s lovely,” Close said. “And very smart. Very, very conscientious with her kids. When we were filming, she was working toward her law degree, and near the end, she would have flashcards.”

On Monday, The Post confirmed that All’s Fair has been renewed for a second season.

The show debuted at No. 1 on Hulu’s viewership chart during its first three days and quickly earned the title of best original scripted premiere in three years, according to Variety.
