“The Powerpuff Girls!!” Anne wrote on Instagram on January 12 with emojis of a face-with-hand-over-mouth and grinning-squinting face.
“Do you like our New MU [Miss Universe] Bag? It’s called The Star of Universe Tote Collection,” she added.
Their picture was well-received by the public who shared their opinions in the comments section.
