Earlier today, Urvashi Rautela took to Instagram and posted a series of photos from Wimbledon 2025, sitting with a bunch of Labubu dolls. She wore a beautiful white dress and flexed the four different coloured Labubus that were tied to her bag. However, fans had the funniest comments. One wrote, '1st Indian woman to carry 4 Labubus…" Another comment read, 'That guy in a blue T-shirt, in the background, ruined all photos, so Urvashi has become the first actress from India again, in this category." A third user wrote, 'Labubus on Birkin in Wimbledon only Urvashi can do it!" Another user sarcastically questioned, 'Labubus on sale in Wimbledon?"
The Labubu trend has recently gone viral on social media, particularly among Gen Z and K-pop enthusiasts. It centres around Labubu, a quirky, mischievous-looking character from the Hong Kong-based collectible art toy brand Pop Mart. Recognised for its big grin, pointy ears, and oddball charm, Labubu has become a symbol of cuteness mixed with chaos. Some also claim that the Labubu dolls are haunted. But people are sharing memes, videos, and aesthetic edits featuring Labubu figures, often showcasing its 'gremlin energy" in amusing, relatable scenarios.
