Lenny Kravitz leans into the viral craziness with his TikTok debut, bringing back the iconic — and massive — brown scarf that went viral more than ten years ago to help usher in the fall.
It’s fall and that means it’s giant scarf season … at least if your name is Lenny Kravitz. The “Fly Away” singer busted out his most viral accessory for a hilarious TikTok debut.
The Tonight Show host spoke for all of us when he replied, “But Lenny, this is not a scarf. It’s a blanket.”

At least Kravitz is finally fully aware of the dimensions of his clothing choice, saying as he walks toward the camera, “Grab your big scarf, it’s the first day of fall.”
It was dateline 2012 when Kravitz first went out for a trip to the store, innocuously adorned in what he described to Jimmy Fallon in 2018 as “a little scarf” to protect himself from the cold.
Meme makers have spent more than a decade making the scarf bigger and bigger in reshares of the classic picture, but we’re starting to wonder if Kravitz didn’t have it extended himself as it’s looking extra massive in this latest appearance.
