Every now and then, pop culture throws up a phenomenon that blurs the line between art and obsession. The latest to take the internet—and celebrity handbags—by storm is Labubu, a mischievous vinyl creature from the whimsical world of Hong Kong artist Kasing Lung. What started as a niche collectible in the designer toy circuit has now officially crossed over into Bollywood, and Gen Z stars are leading the charge.
From charm keychains to full-blown toy obsessions, Labubu is making a major splash in celebrity fashion circles
Touted for its quirky expression and goblin-like cuteness, Labubu has become more than just a shelf accessory. It’s now a fashion statement, a conversation starter, and in some cases, a pocket-sized sidekick.
