Lululemon's new maxi dress goes viral — Why TikTok can't stop talking about its design and price
A recently launched multi-functional dress by Canadian athleisure brand Lululemon has sparked widespread online discourse, earning both praise and skepticism for its design, cost, and viral appeal. The Lululemon dress in question — a two-in-one maxi that functions as both a strapless dress and ankle-length skirt — has already sold out in nearly all sizes and colours, save for one extra-large option in Light Ivory. Social media platforms, especially TikTok, have been abuzz with reactions, polarising netizens between those hailing the dress as a wardrobe essential and others questioning the hype over what they see as a basic garment, as mentioned in a report by USA Today. A Dress That Doubles as a Skirt The Lululemon 2-in-1 Maxi Dress, priced at $148 (approximately ₹12,300), is marketed as a versatile wardrobe item that adapts between a maxi skirt and a strapless dress. This minimalistic piece is offered in solid hues and made from the company's signature athletic fabric. Available online through Lululemon's official website, the garment has already experienced a surge in demand, leading to near-total unavailability across sizes and shades. Despite its simple silhouette, the garment's dual function has drawn significant attention, becoming the latest fashion item to gain traction through influencer-led promotion, as per a report by USA Today. Live Events TikTok Weighs In: From Obsession to Opposition Content creator Chantalissa, whose video reviewing the dress garnered over 83,000 views as of June 3, praised the product for its elegance and wearability. 'I actually feel like a princess in it. It's so beautiful, so flowy. I'm obsessed,' she shared, highlighting how the piece quickly made it from viral feed to wardrobe must-have. However, not all users shared the same enthusiasm. Dasie, another popular TikTok user, expressed confusion over the frenzy. 'Is this just for the label?' she asked. 'You could walk into Walmart and get a cuter dress than that.' Her comment, though couched with disclaimers of 'no hate,' reflects the growing tension between brand loyalty and affordability. Is It a 'Thneed'? Internet Debates Versatility The dress has also found itself entangled in a pop culture debate. Online users began labelling it a "thneed" — a term coined from Dr. Seuss' The Lorax to describe a versatile, multifunctional item deemed essential. While the Lululemon dress is being lauded by some for its adaptability, critics argue it lacks the true transformative essence of a thneed. TikTok user Rachael, popularly known as "The Thneed Girl," refuted the categorization. 'It's just going from being worn down at the hip to up at the chest. It's not transforming like a thneed really needs to do,' she said, offering a tongue-in-cheek literary critique. A Viral Trend or Another Branded Obsession? As fashion discourse continues to unfold on digital platforms, the Lululemon dress has become emblematic of wider debates: consumerism, brand-driven hype, and evolving definitions of value in modern wardrobes. While the company has yet to comment on restocking details, shoppers can sign up on the official website for alerts regarding new inventory. Whether this Lululemon dress remains a fleeting trend or earns its place as a staple in closets remains to be seen. For now, it is clear that the brand has successfully captured the internet's attention again. FAQs What is the Lululemon dress that's gone viral? It's a multi-functional, two-in-one maxi dress that can be worn as both a strapless dress and an ankle-length skirt. Made from athletic fabric, it's priced at $148 (approx. ₹12,300). Why is the Lululemon dress trending on TikTok? TikTok influencers, like Chantalissa, praised the dress's elegance and versatility. Her video received over 83,000 views, fueling the dress's popularity and prompting a surge in online demand.

Drake wins big after RCB's IPL 2025 triumph; Did he pocket more than Virat Kohli's team?
The Royal Challengers Bengaluru team and their supporters rejoiced on June 3rd night when history was written in gold. Canadian rapper Drake too celebrated RCB's first Indian Premier League championship win as they defeated Punjab Kings by six runs in an exciting final on Tuesday in Ahmedabad. After risking $750,000 (about ₹6.4 crore) on RCB to win the IPL 2025 final, the Canadian rapper earned an incredible $1.3 million (around ₹11 crore). An 18-year wait for the title was eventually ended as RCB beat Punjab Kings by six runs in the final at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad. In contrast, Drake received more than half of the ₹200 million prize money awarded to the RCB champions in a matter of hours, whereas the Bengaluru team worked for 74 days to achieve the same amount. A few hours prior to the final, the rapper shared a screenshot of the wager on his Instagram account. The post gained widespread attention as fans of hip-hop and cricket showed excitement. Drake's bet comes amid an increasing trend of worldwide celebrities displaying huge interest in cricket, particularly the IPL, which is increasing cricket's appeal on a global scale. This victory and windfall might perhaps turn the Canadian star into a regular member of the RCB. While Drake was lucky enough with his wager on red and gold, Virat Kohli's much anticipated trophy was the true gift for RCB supporters.

After hearing about the wager, supporters of RCB, who are known for unintentionally jinxing sportsmen and teams with his open support—the so-called "Drake Curse"—feared the worst. The rapper was blasted for his failed bid on Conor McGregor and Serena Williams. However, cricket turned out to be a a completely different case for Drake. While RCB supporters were initially hesitant, they later praised Drake for his faith.

Rapper Drake Cashes In as RCB Clinch Historic IPL Title, A $1.3 Million Win Ends Curse
Royal Challengers Bengaluru have finally done it. After years of heartbreak, near-misses, and fan anguish, RCB lifted their maiden IPL trophy in a thrilling finale that saw Virat Kohli and his men bring home the glory. But the team wasn't the only ones celebrating - global rap superstar Drake had his own reason to pop the champagne. The Canadian artist had placed a jaw-dropping $750,000 (approximately Rs 6.4 crore) bet on RCB to win the final. The wager, made through crypto-betting platform Stake, carried odds of 1.75. With RCB's emphatic victory, Drake is now set to walk away with a cool $1.3 million (around Rs 11 crore). The move was bold not just because of the amount involved, but also because of Drake's infamous history in the world of sports betting - commonly referred to as the 'Drake Curse.' The term originated from the rapper's pattern of backing teams or athletes who ended up losing - from Serena Williams and Conor McGregor to Manchester City and the Toronto Raptors (pre-2019). Betting enthusiasts and sports fans alike often joked that having Drake's support was a surefire sign of impending doom. But with RCB's win, that narrative may finally be changing. The so-called 'Drake Curse' appears to have been broken - at least in cricket. Meanwhile, on the Indian music scene, Punjabi singer and rapper Karan Aujla was backing his own home team - the Punjab Kings. His insta stories suggested that he had placed a hefty Rs 3.1 crore bet on the final. Ouch!! All we can say is better luck next time. For now, it's RCB's time in the sun - and Drake's too.
