Emmys 2025, Who Was The Star Behind The Walking Labubu On Red Carpet With A Food-Box Purse?

It was only a few months ago that Labubu dolls were making waves on social media. For the uninitiated, Labubu is a designer toy and part of the Monstar toy series, which boasts a massive fan following. The dolls soon became a sensation with their cute and creepy looks, featuring wide eyes, pointed ears, and a toothy grin, designed by Hong Kong artist Kasing Lung in collaboration with the Chinese art toy company Pop Mart. Several celebrities hopped on the trends and carried the Labubus with them, making them even more striking in the pop culture moments. And on Emmys 2025, we could also have a glimpse of Labubu, not a normal one, but a walking one.

Who was behind the walking Labubu look at the Emmys 2025?

On the red carpet of the Emmys 2025, a star decided to resemble the viral Labubu dolls. Looking exactly like a Labubu, the star showcased a toothy grin, pointed ears, and wide eyes, while donning a beige-and-white ensemble and carrying a unique purse that resembled a food box. Well, the identity of the walking Labubu has been revealed, and it was none other than the drag queen, Joella. Known as 'The Slaysian Diva', Joella grabbed the attention as she took part in RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 17.

A drag queen refers to individuals who use drag clothes, makeup, and costumes to present an exaggerated feminine style for performance and expression. Joella has a Chinese background, and she often amalgamates the Chinese aesthetic and cultural references with modern fashion in her drag looks. Joella left the show on the 4th episode, but she remained one of the favourites among viewers, known for her bold, stylish, and funny look, one of which was her appearance covered in a large quilt with RuPaul's face on it.

Joella took to her IG handle and shared a glimpse of her look as Labubu for the Emmys 2025, and netizens have loved her fashion. In one post, she even dropped a collage of her Labubu look and her fellow Drag Race alum, Kori King's look as 'Michael Jackson' on the carpet. People have been showering love on Joella for her look as Labubu, thereby calling it 'The Slaysian edition' of Labubus.
