A new viral TikTok trend, dubbed ‘The Sofia Richie Dance,’ has sparked a mix of admiration and criticism online, with some questioning the depth of the craze.

Sofia Richie Grainge, 26, the fashion icon, new mom, and daughter of music legend Lionel Richie, teamed up with influencer Jake Shane for a simple shimmy and two-step set to Lola Young’s hit song “Messy.” While the dance itself may seem harmless, its rapid adoption and reinterpretation by social media users has sparked debate, with many labelling it as yet another empty trend.

Jake Shane (@octopusslover8) shared the video on November 28, and it has since gone viral, amassing over 1.6 million likes and more than 21.8 million views. The video has garnered both praise and backlash, with some users loving the simplicity and chic vibes, while others criticize its perceived shallowness.

“This feels ICONIC,” reads one of the top comments on TikTok. Many have praised Sofia’s smooth, shiny hair and her equally smooth, effortless charm.

٢. “Can you watch my boss for a minute?”

A new TikTok trend has employees playfully “leaving” their bosses alone with the camera, capturing their confused reactions. The videos start with a young worker asking viewers to “watch my boss for a second” before stepping away, leaving their unsuspecting higher-ups to figure out what’s happening awkwardly.

Whether in sleek offices or open lofts, bosses—from CEOs to celebrities like John Stamos and Nicola Coughlan—are caught off guard, unsure if they’re being live-streamed. The trend has taken over the platform, giving viewers a hilarious glimpse into workplace dynamics.

Paul’s viral video shows her joyfully devouring the pasta, highlighting its irresistible crunch and rich flavours. With no strict measurements, just instinctive seasoning, the recipe feels both comforting and effortlessly authentic. The trend has sparked a wave of interest in Turkish cuisine, proving that sometimes the simplest dishes make the biggest impact.

٤. “This and Yap”

The This and Yap trend is all about celebrating moments meant for endless conversation with friends. Used as a caption on social media, it highlights scenes—like a dreamy happy hour spread or a cosy night in—that are perfect for sitting down and chatting. The term “yapper,” once a way to describe someone who talks too much, is now embraced as a compliment. On TikTok and X, being a yapper means owning your love for lively conversations and finding people who never run out of things to say.

٥. “I like my Sootcase”
