Labubu dolls get a fashion makeover
It started as a quirky collectible, but Labubu has now taken over the hearts and social media feeds of fans across the world. These wide-eyed, slightly odd-looking dolls, created by artist Kasing Lung for his Nordic folklore-inspired series The Monsters, are no longer just toys. They've become tiny canvases for creativity. For many fans, owning a Labubu doll isn't enough. They go a step further, adding a personal touch to every detail. From dressing the dolls in miniature outfits to giving them manicures and personalised clothing stitched with their owner's surname, each Labubu is treated like a tiny, stylish companion. Adding a personal touch Hamsha Thavaseelan, a digital creator, recently took her Labubu to two Tamil weddings. For the occasion, she even customised a dress to give the doll a Tamilian look, complete with a bindi, flowers, and a tiny bag – all matching her outfit for the wedding. Similarly, artist Gurnoor Anand took her Labubu to a boutique to have custom clothes made. Meanwhile, on Instagram, digital creator Christine Doan gave her Labubu a full makeover, adding fluttery eyelashes, 3D nail art, a miniature handbag, and matching charms. Her doll looks every bit the influencer it was destined to be. Fans are investing not just money, but also time in their Labubus. On social media, one Labubu wears custom-made grills from a dentist, while another is seen diving underwater, clearly geared up for adventure. Some are even dressed in tiny Kanjeevaram saris – proving that fashion knows no size. Whether it's the joy of dressing them up or simply giving them a personality, Labubu dolls have become much more than just collectibles. AI TIPS TO MAKE YOUR LABUBU TRULY YOURS Custom-made outfits Design tiny, one-of-a-kind outfits using fabrics like denim, tulle, or even old accessories. Whether it's a streetwear look, fairy costume, or desi avatar, tailor Labubu's wardrobe to your style or mood. Mini accessories with big personality Add tiny sunglasses, hats, scarves, or miniature handbags. Even doll-sized jewellery or funky shoes can make Labubu look runway-ready and reflect your aesthetic. Themed dressing for seasons and festivals Dress Labubu according to seasons—think monsoon raincoats, summer florals, or winter knits—or deck them out for Diwali, Christmas, or even your birthday celebrations! Scented fabrics or perfumed closets Infuse Labubu's outfits or storage box with a soft, safe fragrance using sachets or scented drawer liners. It adds a sensory layer to the pampering experience. Tiny tattoos or face stickers Use washable markers, bindis, or nail art stickers to give Labubu little tattoos, freckles, or face art that can be changed depending on their 'mood.'
