In the world of fashion and pop culture, it’s often the smallest things that make the biggest impact. And at the moment, it’s all about the Labubu doll. Designed by Hong Kong artist Kasing Lung, Labubu is a part of the The Monsters series.
A collectible toy with big ears, tiny teeth, and a mischievous grin that might be perceived as both odd and oddly adorable, the craze for these dolls increased manifold, partly because of their packaging. They come in sealed ‘blind boxes’, which means each unboxing is a surprise, adding to their charm and collectability.
From global icons to rising stars, many fashion-forward celebs have been seen accessorising these quirky dolls with their bags and off-duty looks. Whether it’s the element of surprise, their cute-but-creepy vibe, or just how fun they look clipped to a tote, Labubus have become the latest accessory to watch.
Dua Lipa
Always one step ahead, pop star Dua Lipa added a Labubu plush to her duffel bag in New York recently. The doll’s bright colour added the much-appreciated light-hearted twist to her outfit.
Ananya Panday
She’s always up-to-date with the latest styles. Ananya Panday was spotted with a pink Labubu charm on her tote, fun, bright, and very Gen Z.
Mouni Roy
Mouni Roy has not 1 or 2, but 6 Labubus. Well, clearly she has been secretly collecting the dolls and is now flaunting her collection for everyone to see and feel envious about.
Sharvari Wagh
Sharvari made a bold move by pairing her designer handbag with a Labubu doll, showing that she’s not afraid to have fun with her style.
Rihanna
Trust Rihanna to turn a toy into a fashion moment. She had a Labubu hanging off her Louis Vuitton bag, making it look effortlessly cool.
Labubu dolls aren’t just cute. They’re cool because they’re different. They don’t look perfect or polished, and that’s exactly what makes them stand out. Add in the fact that some versions are rare and pricey, and it’s easy to see why people want them.
