Lady Gaga's custom Labubu
Labubu, the quirky and wildly popular collectible from Chinese brand Pop Mart, has taken fashion circles by storm. Known for their goblin-like faces and colorful furry suits, the plushies are typically seen clipped onto purses or backpacks. Gaga, however, took things to the next level.
The Just Jared report stated that the plush toy hanging from Gaga's bag was one-of-a-kind design which was styled after one of the musician's Mayhem Ball tour costumes. Created by Monroe, the custom Labubu reflected Gaga's larger-than-life stage persona, complete with intricate detailing and bold fashion flair.
Monroe, taking to Instagram, wrote it was a 'wild 24 hours' making the custom Labubu for Gaga and added that he was 'still beaming' from the collaboration. He shared a video showing the making of the outfit for the plush figure and gave fans a peek into the creative process behind the miniature masterpiece.
Post-tour glow and engagement sparkle
Lady Gaga flaunted her giant ring in addition to the custom Labubu. The Poker Face singer got engaged in Italy, and though she has been hush-hush about it, the star has been spotted wearing the ring during recent public appearances.
The Malibu coffee run, the Just Jared report added, came soon after she wrapped four straight sold-out nights at the LA Forum on her Mayhem Ball tour to support her album Mayhem. The album, which was launched in May, showed Gaga returning to her dance-pop roots and ranked No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
