Lenny Kravitz has joined TikTok in the most appropriate way conceivable, by wrapping himself in that giant viral scarf for a video welcoming the approach of fall.
The fashionable singer, 59, wore his famed woollen item, which is more blanket than scarp in scope – it’s really well over 10 feet long – plus a brown leather jacket, flared trousers, sunglasses (of course), and boots.
Strolling casually towards the camera down a park path, with the scarf draped down one side of his body and thrown over his shoulder, the Let Love Rule crooner announced: ‘Grab your big scarf. It’s the first day of fall.’
His message was reiterated in the description of his first-ever TikTok video, which has already had 4.7 million views in less than 48 hours, which read: ‘Grab your big scarf. It’s the first day of fall.’
He also added a series of hashtags with ‘#autumn’ to catch the non-US market, ‘#scarves’ to appease his fans and ‘#LennyKravitz’.
The actress, who previously played stylist Cinna in the Hunger Games movie, has become known for her use of scarves, both functional and beautiful. They’ve become one of his fashion signatures.
But the fan fave giant he dragged out of his closet in commemoration of his TikTok debut initially went viral in 2012, when he was photographed wearing it while conducting errands.
As a result, a thousand (or more) memes were created, with dad-of-one Lenny plainly enjoying making fun of himself on TikTok.
Back in 2018 during an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, the star even admitted that he couldn’t ‘escape’ the scarf.
‘I live in the Bahamas, I’m used to hot weather and I had to go to the store, I was buying some groceries and I thought I’d put on a little scarf to protect my throat, and that’s the scarf I had,’ he told the host.
However, Jimmy was having none of it and retorted: ‘But Lenny, this is not a scarf, it’s a blanket!’
‘That was the day I thought I would break it out, and I had no idea that there would be paparazzi and that is now everything,’ the Fly Away singer 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,’ he said.
People were clearly delighted to see Lenny back with his giant blanket-cum-scarf on TikTok though, with one proclaiming in the comments: ‘Lenny Kravitz is our Mariah Carey for fall.’
Another channelled Jimmy in their response, posting: ‘But Lenny that’s a blanket.’
‘Lenny’s scarf can be as big as he wants. He is Lenny Freakin’ Kravitz!’ shared another fan, while the Weather Channel was also happy with the star’s seasonal role as they confirmed that they were ‘here for it’.
And we are too.
