Posh fashion brand Balenciaga is flogging Bridget Jones-style big knickers for £150 a pair.
They look just like the oversized undies Renee Zellweger’s character wore in the 2001 movie.
Unlucky-in-love Bridget was wearing them when she was seduced by Hugh Grant’s slimy book publisher Daniel Cleaver.

Hugh had audiences in stitches when he whipped off her skirt to discover Bridget was wearing “absolutely enormous panties”.
The cad got so excited he famously exclaimed: “Hello Mummy!”
Despite Spanish fashion brand Balenciaga sticking an equally hefty price tag on their comfy kecks, the not-so-smalls can’t even be stuck in the washing machine – they’re dry clean only.
For those of us on more modest budgets, Marks & Spencer do a five-pack of similar pants for just £7 – or £1.20 a pair!
Buyers are told by the Spanish outfit – loved by footballers and their WAGs: “Briefs in brown ribbed jersey.
“High waist. Elastic logo waistband. Stretch finish. Made in Italy. Dry cleaning. This product cannot be returned for hygiene reasons.
The mega-briefs come in a string of colours including white, black, brown and nude.
But while the knickers can't be returned, shoppers are fortunate enough to get free express shipping across the globe.
In the past, the popular fashion brand has come under fire for their underwear, with many claiming that a pair of sweatpants were "racist" and were used as an example of cultural appropriation.
The Tompe-L'Oeil sweats which are no longer available on the Balenciaga website came with built-in boxer shorts that poked out over the waistband – a style that is popular in hip hop culture.
Many had slammed the design, with TikTok user Josiah Hyacinth saying: "They have woven these boxers inside the trousers.
"You know when something feels racist @Balenciaga I have questions."
Chief marketing officer for Balenciaga, Ludivine Pont told CNN: "In many of our collections, we combine different wardrobe pieces into a single garment, such as denim jeans layered over tracksuit pants, cargo shorts merged with jeans and button-up shirts layered over t-shirts.
"These Trompe L’Oeil trousers were an extension of that vision."
