Lizzo is truly the fairy godmother of TikTok. The “Rumors” singer just granted an amazing wish, literally providing the gown for a young author to wear to the ball. Glass slipper not needed!
Aurielle Marie, a queer writer who uses “they” and “she” pronouns, recently got the honor of a lifetime when they were named one of the Out 100 LGBTQ+ Literary and Publishing stars. As the essayist and poet explains in a now-viral TikTok, there’s nothing they want more than to go to New York to accept the award at a gala event…but fashion being what it sadly is, they can’t find the perfect dress to wear. Given that Marie and Lizzo have similar body types, the author then makes a small request: to borrow the singer’s dress from the 2022 Emmys.

Well, be careful what you wish for, you just might get it. That first TikTok went up on October 27, and on November 15, Marie posted an update: Lizzo sent a dress!
It’s not the 2022 Emmys dress, it’s her dress from the 2019 American Music Awards (both are warm-hued tulle), and just watch Marie’s thrilled reaction when they put it on.
