Lenny Kravitz Just Made His TikTok Debut By Rocking His Signature 'Big Scarf' For The Start Of Fall

Ever since he was spotted wearing a comically-oversized scarf back in 2012, Kravitz has been a true harbinger of Autumn—and he brought back the iconic look to mark the first day of Fall 2023.

Lenny Kravitz made his TikTok debut to herald the Fall season with a gargantuan scarf draped around his lean body, and the internet was obsessed with the familiar look all over again.

Back in 2012 when the world wasn't quite as obsessed with social media as it is today, Kravitz rocked the autumn look with a scarf.


Only this was no ordinary scarf.

Kravitz's original scarf was so ginormous that it virtually consumed his entire being the way a blanket would if he were sitting on the couch at home.

His oversized fashion statement instantly went viral and steadily inspired memes making the scarf grow larger and larger.

The singer remarked in a 2018 interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon:

"I cannot escape this [scarf].”

Here is a resurfaced photo of him in 2012 rocking the big scarf in a beanie, jeans, and a pair of beige suede leather boots as he walked the streets of NYC.

He confirmed to Fallon that that was the actual size of the scarf as it appeared in the viral photo.

Kravitz added:

"Here’s the thing about the internet, though, that’s the problem."
"That's the size of the scarf, but the scarf keeps getting bigger, and bigger and bigger..."

Which prompted Fallon to present the following photo.

So it was only fitting–loosely, of course–that the four-time Grammy winner for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance would reclaim the joke for his very first TikTok video.

His first TikTok clip, posted on Saturday, showed him walking through a park in New York City and declaring:

“Grab your big scarf, it’s the first day of fall."

It’s the first day of fall. #autumn #scarves #LennyKravitz

Many social media users pointed out that Mariah Carey, who is synonymous with the winter season for her 1994 earworm "All I Want For Christmas Is You," could have Winter, while Kravitz can take the Fall.

Nancy Mace's Claim That No One Would Know Simone Biles' Name If Men Competed Against Her Gets Epically Fact-Checked

South Carolina MAGA Republican Representative Nancy Mace has been making a name for herself by being the most vulgar and vile anti-trans person in Congress. She's screamed transphobic slurs in official committee meetings and attacked anyone who opposes her bigotry.

Now she's decided to take on the most decorated gymnast in history—in women's and men's gymnastics—Simone Biles, who holds the record for the most Olympic and World Championship medals combined. Biles won 41 medals in just those events, surpassing all other gymnasts.

Vance Tried To Make A Joke About Seeing 'Les Misérables' At The Kennedy Center—And It's Peak Cringe

Vice President JD Vance had people groaning after he made a bad joke about the production of Les Misérables he and his wife, Second Lady Usha Vance, attended at the Kennedy Center with President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump.

The musical, set in 19th century France, tells the story of Jean Valjean, an ex-convict who is released from prison for stealing a loaf of bread. The story touches on timeless themes such as justice and mercy—and also happens to be about people resisting an authoritarian takeover, which many find ironic given the Trump administration's response to protests in Los Angeles.

People Who Smashed Wedding Cake In Their Spouse's Face Reveal How Their Relationship Is Going Now

According to The Knot wedding resource magazine and website, smashing cake into the face of a spouse after tying the knot is a tradition tied to medieval England. To celebrate the marriage, the bride would toss a piece of piece of cake over her shoulder for good luck.

This evolved into newlyweds feeding a piece of cake to one another, then taking frosting or a small bit of cake and rubbing it gently onto each other's faces—usually the cheek or tip of the nose.

A U.S. Army veteran went viral after she spoke out to encourage other current and former military members to publicly condemn President Donald Trump for using them as "pawns" to suit his own ends after he deployed the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles amid ongoing protests against his administration's immigration raids.

Trump has activated over 4,000 National Guard members and 700 Marines, despite opposition from city and state leaders. He has painted a bleak picture of Los Angeles—claims that Mayor Karen Bass and Governor Gavin Newsom say are wildly exaggerated.
