'Can't even outdress my Labubu': This doll has become the latest trend even with celebs
'Can't even outdress my Labubu': This doll has become the latest trend even with celebs Show Caption Hide Caption Labubu monster dolls are ugly and adorable New monster dolls are taking over the internet. Influencers shell out as much as $85 for bigger Labubu dolls. The Labubu dolls are taking over! They have been thrust back in the spotlight recently due to many celebs now hopping on the trend. Most notably, a singer-rapper extraordinaire mentioned them in a song. Lizzo gave a shoutout to the Pop Mart's popular toy, Labubus, on a verse she rapped for a remix of the song "Whim Whamiee," by Pluto and Ykniece "Can't even outdress my Labubu," Lizzo rapped in a video she posted to Instagram during Memorial Day weekend. Her Labubu even made an appearance in the video, wearing a blue bucket hat, matching overalls, and a crossbody bag. Lizzo's Labubu donned a different outfit in a TikTok she posted on June 2 with the caption "Me & Louis matched for Pride 🤭" Lizzo, other celebs love Labubus Lizzo isn't the only one to show off her love for Labubus. Olivia Atwood, Simone Biles, and others have all hopped on the Labubu craze. Lisa from BLACKPINK's obsession with Labubus was documented a few months ago in a Vanity Fair interview. During the interview, the K-pop star confessed her "secret obsession" was blind boxes from Pop Mart, the retailer that sells Labubus. Rihana and Dua Lipa have also been seen with Labubus, which helped give the toy a boost in popularity, Emily Brough, POP MART North America's head of licensing, previously told USA TODAY in a statement. What is a Labubu? Labubu is a doll that looks like a creepy child with a big head, sharp teeth, and big eyes, wearing fuzzy pajamas. Although it comes with pjs, fans can buy other clothes to dress their Labubu in. Some people might say the doll looks a bit demonic, while others think it looks so ugly it's cute, and still others believe it's downright adorable. The doll was designed by Hong Kong artist Kasing Lung around 10 years ago, according to Business Insider. But, today, Labubu blind boxes are sold worldwide by the Beijing-based toy-maker Pop Mart, as a part of their "The Monsters" line. People go gaga over Labubu Almost every piece of merchandise inspired by Labubu and "The Monsters" line is sold out on Pop Mart's website, and people are going crazy over the toy. Its popularity also led retailers online and in brick-and-mortar stores to sell knockoffs. The toy even led people to line up outside of malls overnight and start fights while instantly selling out, according to the LA Times. Who is Labubu? Lung created three picture books inspired by Nordic mythology, according to Pop Mart's website. The book contains depictions of characters, both good and evil, in a fairy world. He called them "The Monsters." Labubu, "a small monster with high, pointed ears and serrated teeth," is the most prominent character in the books. Although she is a monster, she is kind-hearted and constantly wants to help others; however, things may not go according to her plan, and she accidentally ends up making things worse. Labubu vs. Lafufu The Labubu dolls are so popular that they've attracted the attention of people trying to fill their pockets with all the hype. Fake Labubus are so common that the internet even has a name for them: Lafufus. Despite how common it is to find the knock-off version, there are a couple of ways to avoid getting scammed: Make sure that you are purchasing authentic Labubu or "The Monsters" merchandise Purchase the dolls directly from Pop Mart, its Amazon store, or other major retailers Buy Labubus and other items from Pop Mart's verified TikTok accounts: @popmart_us, @ and @ Julia is a trending reporter for USA TODAY.
