LOS ANGELES, Nov 20 \u2014 Tan Sri Michelle Yeoh just proved she\u2019s not only an Oscar-winning icon \u2014 she\u2019s also the undisputed queen of Labubus.<\/p>\n
The Malaysian star had The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon audience in stitches after casually revealing she owns more than 100 Labubu dolls, a number so delightfully unexpected that even Fallon had to make sure he heard correctly.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou have 100 Labubus?\u201d the host blurted out, eyes wide.<\/p>\n
With the kind of calm only Michelle Yeoh can pull off, she replied, \u201cOh, maybe a little more than a hundred of them.\u201d As if having a small mythical-creature metropolis at home is the most normal thing in the world.<\/p>\n
Yeoh explained that her collection spans all shapes and sizes \u2014 \u201cbig and small\u201d \u2014 and that choosing just one colour is impossible.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The moment was sparked when Fallon pulled up a photo of her celebrating her birthday with a Labubu-themed cake, which he noted she had before the creature took over social media feeds.<\/p>\n
\u201cMichelle, you were ahead of the game,\u201d he teased. \u201cDo you love Labubus?\u201d<\/p>\n
Her answer? A quick, unmistakable yes.<\/p>\n
And then she sealed her status as the internet\u2019s sweetheart: Yeoh brought gifts.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She surprised Fallon with two mini Labubus for his daughters, each with tiny initials \u2014 M and Y, representing \u201cMichelle Yeoh\u201d, of course.<\/p>\n
Labubu dolls \u2014 the mischievous, big-eyed creatures from Hong Kong designer Kasing Lung \u2014 have become one of Asia\u2019s hottest collectible toys, with releases often selling out in minutes.<\/p>\n
Fans flock to drops for their playful mix of cute and spooky, and rare variants can command hefty resale prices.<\/p>\n
The characters have exploded across social media in the past year, turning Labubu into a full-blown pop-culture trend embraced by everyone from casual collectors to celebrity fans like Michelle Yeoh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"LOS ANGELES, Nov 20 \u2014 Tan Sri Michelle Yeoh just proved she\u2019s not only an Oscar-winning icon \u2014…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":295276,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[49,48,75,133117,133118,133120,53269,133119,29119,348],"class_list":["post-295275","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-entertainment","tag-labubu-dolls","tag-labubu-themed-cake","tag-malaysian-star","tag-michelle-yeoh","tag-oscar-winning-icon","tag-the-tonight-show-starring-jimmy-fallon","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/295275","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=295275"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/295275\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/295276"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=295275"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=295275"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=295275"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
