Black Women Are Owning The Pillow Challenge

When in doubt, grab a pillow.
Black Women Are Owning The Pillow Challenge

By Nandi Howard · Updated December 6, 2020

It seems like every couple of days there is a new social media ideation that sweeps our feed. Last week it was Tik Tok’s #DontRushChallenge and this week, women are posing on the internet in chic house pillows. Yes, pillows. But honestly, when you’re stuck quarantined for over a month, we can’t even blame creatives for producing ways to stay active.

When searching the hashtag #PillowChallenge on Instagram, you will be delighted to catch women wearing a pillow vertically with a belt included for a cinched waist. Some ladies even added a heel and did their hair and makeup for a mod illusion. Let’s be honest, we’re already lounging around with a load of pillows so why not put one on and imagine you’re roaming around Paris Fashion Week.

Article continues after video.

Check out some of our favorite looks from the current Pillow Challenge.
