Days after making history aboard Blue Origin’s all-female space mission, Lauren Sánchez received a celestial-themed gift from close friends Kris Jenner, Kim Kardashian, and Khloé Kardashian: a $6,995 Judith Leiber Couture UFO clutch, now sold out, adorned with sparkling crystals.
The 55-year-old pilot and philanthropist shared the glittering accessory on Instagram, calling it “out of this world”—a fitting tribute to her groundbreaking journey. Jenner reposted the reveal with a heartfelt message: “We love you and are so proud of you!”
The Kardashian-Jenner clan witnessed Sánchez’s 11-minute flight to the edge of space from Blue Origin’s West Texas launch site, where Khloé admitted to being overwhelmed with emotion. “I literally had chills… It takes your breath away,” she said during the livestream, though she remained unsure about boarding a future mission herself. Jenner, however, vetoed the idea for her daughter, joking, “We’d drag you off the tarmac before we let you go up.”
The milestone flight—Blue Origin’s 11th crewed mission—faced criticism from celebrities like Olivia Munn and Amy Schumer, prompting Sánchez to defend her team’s dedication during a post-landing press conference.
“I’d love [critics] to see the thousands of employees who put their heart and soul into this,” she asserted, while fellow crewmate Gayle King added that detractors “don’t really understand what’s happening here.”
