On September 15th, 2025, BLACKPINK’s Lisa hit the Emmys red carpet in Los Angeles, looking like a pink princess, as part of the cast of The White Lotus season 3. However, things quickly changed from her dazzling gown to a wild cameo. Suddenly, Joella Dynasty, a RuPaul’s Drag Race contestant, showed up in a life-sized cosplay of Labubu, the now-famous doll that Lisa helped become viral.
The only issue was that the cosplay leaned way more creepy than cute! The Labubu’s oversized teeth and unsettling stare made the character feel less like a collectible and more like a horror movie extra. Lisa’s expression said it all as she tried to hold her composure in front of the cameras. Within minutes, screenshots of her frozen smile spread online, and fans knew this was going to be another viral moment.
A few moments later, social media lit up with comments that perfectly described the scene. Not Labubu but Horror-bubu, one fan said. Meanwhile, another joked that Lisa looked like she was standing next to a slasher villain. The encounter may not have been in the script for Lisa’s glamorous Emmy debut, but it ended up making headlines around the world. Just like that, Lisa’s most viral moment was totally unexpected.
