Is SHEIN Using Luigi Mangione as a Model on Their Site?
It sure looks like it.
Published 7 minutes ago in Funny
Visitors to the SHEIN site today spotted a new model wearing some of the fast-fashion giant’s latest styles. Who was this model? Was it a prominent TikTok influencer? An Instagram baddie? Some celebrity’s child you’ve never heard of?
Well, no one is sure, but it really looks like accused deposer Luigi Mangione.

Did the company hire him to model? It’s really, really unlikely; Mangione is currently behind bars at MDC Brooklyn, and I don’t know a lot about the U.S. prison system, but I’m going to guess they don’t just let you out to model every once in a while.
So, if that’s not the case, how did this happen? There are a few options. First, it’s A.I., and someone behind the controls at the site was just having a bit of fun. Second, it’s just another sexy dude with thick eyebrows. Third, it’s normal, everyday Photoshop. Fourth… Nope, I guess those are the only options. Choose your favorite!
No matter what happened, the shirt he’s advertising costs $11 — certainly cheaper than any medical bill you’ve ever received!
