Madonna’s 2025 Mother’s Day Instagram photo carousel post already had horseback-riding pics and the usual cute family chaos, but eagle-eyed toy nerds spotted one extra guest on the table: a few pastel Labubu collectibles. The pop icon tagged Los Angeles toy boutique Donnie’s Exchange, and the shop’s crew promptly freaked out, calling the shout-out “an absolute dream.”
According to a separate post from a Donnie’s team member, they’d “sent the queen herself @madonna Labubus just in time for Mother’s Day” — mission accomplished.
The cameo caps a weekend Madonna spent with five of her six kids, which she summed up as “Sunshine, laughter, horseback-riding, soccer, and the sound of music.”
What exactly did Madonna post?
On Mother’s Day, 2025, she dropped an Instagram Story tagging Donnie’s Exchange (DTLA) and flashed multiple Labubu charms. The shop confirmed it was a gift, not a paid placement.
Why is Labubu suddenly everywhere?
Celebrities were already hyping it—Rihanna in Paris; BLACKPINK’s Lisa on tour. Madonna’s shout-out just shoved the goblin-elf into true mainstream consciousness.
Who created Labubu, anyway?
Belgian–Hong Kong illustrator Kasing Lung dreamed up the snaggle-toothed mischief-maker. Chinese toy giant Pop Mart handles mass production. New to the lore? Dive into our artist profile Who Made Labubu?
Does this matter for collectors?
Absolutely. A single celebrity post can spike Google searches, lift resale floors, and triple in-store foot traffic overnight. For market watchers, it’s one more signal that Labubu is crossing from niche designer-toy culture into broader pop-icon territory.

It took three hours of line-waiting. You can't have one. But you can visit Pop Mart at Alderwood Mall.
