Lady Gaga debuted a custom, gothic-glam Labubu charm on her Hermes Kelly bag—a truly on-point accessory modeled after Mother Monster herself.
Unless you’re living under a rock, you have likely been subjected to this year’s Labubu craze. If not, the trend—ignited by tweens—goes a little something like this: You collect these fuzzy little plushy-monster charm things, and then affix them to your chicest bag—like an Hermès Kelly or Birkin, or a classic Chanel flap. All the stars are on board with the cutesy accessory, from Dua Lipa to Rosé. Some of the most exclusive Labubus have even sold for over $10,000. But leave it to Lady Gaga to find the most on-point one yet: The singer was spotted out and about in Malibu yesterday with a custom Labubu adorning her sleek black Kelly bag.
Her special black and red Labubu? It was modeled after Mother Monster herself, naturally. According to the fan account La Maison Gaga, the custom gothic-glam Labubu was designed by the Los Angeles-based artist Marko Monroe, and features the little creature in a DIY’d ruffled red outfit that is reminiscent of the one Gaga wears in the “Abracadabra” music video. Whether Gaga commissioned the Labubu or it was gifted to her remains a mystery, but one thing is for sure: The resemblance is uncanny. (Well, as much as one can resemble a spooky looking creature.)
This isn’t the first time that Gaga has outed herself as a Labubu fan, either. Last month, as the superstar was getting ready backstage to perform her summer Mayhem Ball tour, Gaga teased her hair into the shape of bunny ears and declared, “I’m a Labubu!” Now, she has her very own. So there you have it, folks: The Labubu craze is not only for tweens, but for world-famous pop stars as well. And for all you Little Monsters, the bad news is: Her Labubu is one-of-a-kind. Meaning, you will have to replicate it yourself, should you want to rock it on your bag. (And no, it does not need to be a Kelly.)
