Lisa Wears Custom Fuzzy Pink Labubu Crop Top and Miniskirt at Deadline World Tour
THE RUNDOWN On Saturday night, Lisa appeared in a custom pink Labubu outfit during the Deadline World Tour stop in London. The look was created by Brett Alan Nelson and included a fuzzy miniskirt and crop top with padded shoulders and a corseted bustier, as well as tall furry pink boots. She was also wearing a pink Labubu pinned to her waist, this one customized by Marko Monroe. At one point, Lisa held a pink Labubu mask up to her face, which Nelson later modeled in an Instagram Story. Lisa is a longtime fan of the trendy dolls. In July, the star shared pictures of herself with a mini Louis Vuitton's rainbow 'Nano Speedy' purse decorated with two Labubus. She wore it with a shimmering dress from Diesel, per W Magazine. The dolls were originally created by Hong Kong artist Kasing Lung as part of their books series for children, The Monsters. Lung partnered with Pop Mart in 2019 to sell the dolls, but have recently soared in popularity. The Labubus are usually sold in 'blind boxes,' meaning you get a random color or style. Lisa has been a fan of Pop Mart products for some time. Late last year, Lisa told Vanity Fair, '[My close friends in Thailand] showed me a bunch of stuff and as soon as I got them, I went crazy. I spent all my money. I go to Pop Mart everywhere if I fly to New York, I go to Miami, I try to find Pop Mart there, Paris. Kinda like finding treasure.' Musical artist Dua Lipa was also seen with Labubu bag charms in late 2024, as well as Rihanna, Kim Kardashian, and David Beckham. But so far, only Lisa has become the Labubu.
