What do BLACKPINK, Kim K, and David Beckham have in common (besides iconic status)? They’re all officially Labubu-pilled. These quirky, wide-eyed designer dolls have sparked a collector frenzy in 2025, and it’s only getting wilder.
So, what is Labubu?
Born from the whimsical universe of The Monsters by Kasing Lung, Labubu dolls are eerie, mischievous little creatures sold in mystery blind boxes, meaning you never know which one you’re getting until you rip it open.
And thanks to some major celeb love, Labubu’s parent brand POP MART saw sales spike past 2.5 billion yuan. And Kasing Lung? Quiet artist turned cultural billionaire… in just a few months this year. So, here’s a peek into the celebrity toybox:
BLACKPINK’s Lisa—Go Big or Go Giant
Lisa skipped the baby steps. She went straight for the jumbo-sized Labubu, a rare model not found in your everyday blind box. Fans spotted it in a behind-the-scenes tour vlog, perched casually beside her wardrobe mirror. It matched her street-style goth phase perfectly. Let’s just say, Lisa didn’t adopt Labubu, she raised it.
BLACKPINK’s Rosé – Pastel Goth Chic
Rosé’s Labubu is moody and minimalist just like her Spotify playlists. She posted a cutesy selfie featuring a lavender-silver salt edition with her. Fans believe it was a gift from her stylist, and it instantly sold out online after her post.
Rihanna – Mom Life, Monster Style
Rihanna was first seen clutching a storm pink Labubu in an airport pic… fans thought it was for her son. Nope. Turns out she carries it for herself as a “comfort toy.”
A source close to Fenty HQ even revealed she gifted Labubu dolls as mood mascots to her creative team. “It’s like a voodoo doll… but healing,” she laughed.
Dua Lipa – Fashion’s Favorite Sidekick
Dua Lipa has been spotted carrying a metallic space-themed Labubu as a bag charm…yes, fashion meets chaos and fans flooded the comments asking where to buy it. She called them “tiny mascots of mayhem”. Honestly, we can’t argue with that branding.
David Beckham – Daddy’s Rare Find
David Beckham didn’t buy a Labubu… he was gifted one by daughter Harper. But not just any one: a secret brown edition with stitched detail, not even available in stores. Beckham shared a proud dad moment on Instagram Stories calling it “creepy, but cute… like me at 16.”
Ananya Panday – Soft Launch Supreme
Ananya owns a cotton white Labubu. Also, her dark cherry Labubu made its debut in a “what’s in my bag” feature. “He’s ugly-cute and basically a gremlin version of my alter ego.” Same, Ananya. Same.
Sharwari Wagh – Set Mascot Magic
Sharwari keeps a mint blue Labubu on her vanity trailer. Co-stars say she pats its head before scenes like a good luck charm. “He gives me the main character energy,” she joked on a podcast.
Twinkle Khanna – Quirky, Just Like Her Essays
Twinkle’s Labubu is all goth, no gloss. She owns a matte charcoal purplish limited edition and once called it “the only thing darker than my sense of humour.” It’s been placed next to books, coffee, and sarcastic wisdom.
So yeah… Labubu isn’t just a trend. It’s a full-on collectible culture shift. Like a weird plushy Tamagotchi with an attitude… once you get one, you get it. Okay, Now excuse us, time to unbox Newsslash ‘s blind box. Manifesting that chestnut cocoa secret edition… or fine, I’ll settle for sea salt coconut.
