Chrissy Teigen bought a $30 robe in every color online only to find they looked more like 'trash birds' in person
- Chrissy Teigen ordered a $30 feather-lined robe online in several colors.
- When the order finally arrived, the robes looked different from the retailer's photo.
- In a video showing her team trying on the robes, she said they looked like "trash birds."
Chrissy Teigen showed on her Instagram story that she, too, fell prey to misleading advertising. This time, the model and cookbook author was duped by a photo of a seemingly beautiful feather-lined robe.
"I was so excited to order this robe because it's like very 'kill your husband' vibes," Teigen said in the video posted on Thursday. "Like, gorgeous."
She said she even ordered the robe in every available color because she was "so excited."
But the reality didn't quite match up, and she couldn't stop laughing about it.
"Here," she said, moving her camera to show her team modeling three different colors of the robe as they all laughed at how unlike the photo they looked. "This is what came. In what world?"
The robe was listed on sale for $30, down from an original price of $60.
Teigen captioned the story "lmao trash birds."
Rather than the sultry old-Hollywood glam vibe Teigen was hoping for, these robes may remind us more of what Moira Rose (Catherine O'Hara's character in "Schitt's Creek") wore in the fictional film "The Crows Have Eyes."
Teigen wasn't the only one to be duped by the pretty photo of this particular robe.
Another online shopper said on Twitter that she had ordered the same thing and was also disappointed with the "#fail" that arrived.
Teigen joins many other online shoppers who've been unpleasantly surprised when their order finally arrived
In December, the TikTok user Anna Dinh shared a photo of what she received after ordering a bridesmaid dress from an online marketplace. Dinh told Insider the dress wound up being the "total opposite" of what she thought she'd be getting.
She captioned her post, "Can't ever trust ordering dresses online smh."
It's not clear whether Teigen is going to try to return her robes. But on the bright side, it's not quite the most expensive mistake purchase she's made recently. Earlier this month, the model shared a story with her followers about a time when she accidentally bought a $13,000 bottle of wine.
