White Tube Top Girl, aka Faith Marie (@faith.marie19), is a woman on TikTok who blew up on the social media platform because of her dance moves. There is some contention and discourse that came about because of her rise in popularity to the point that she has become a trend in her own right on the video platform.

The TikToker in question is Faith Marie who, you guessed it, wore a white tube top while recording herself dancing to a mash-up of Chappell Roan’s “HOT TO GO!” and ian’s “Magic Johnson” in July 2024.

Her unoriginal nickname is similar to that of the Blue Sweatpants Girl, who also jumped into brief internet fame in part due to what she was wearing in her viral video, and just like Blue Sweatpants Girl, Faith Marie has fully gained meme status on the social media platform.

The spread of the white tube top girl’s meme-ification

Faith Marie was dubbed white tube top girl by viewers, who then flipped the idea and turned her into a meme of their idealized selves.

TikToker @ydcni jokingly posted a video of herself on July 6th, 2024 where she is wearing a white tube top just like Faith Marie and half-heartedly doing the choreography to the song, seemingly to make fun of the White Tube Top Girl’s dance moves.

In the text overlay, she wrote, “Why is everyone talking about me?” Her video has been viewed over 5.9 million times and liked 22.8 times — not too shabby, but also nowhere near as high as Faith Marie.

Other TikTokers were confused by the trend, as there were more women (like @ydcni) who sported white tube tops to match Faith Marie’s original video. One person, @julianne_main posted a TikTok of her wearing what one would assume was her closest ‘fit to the original, with a white maxi skirt and jean tube top.

She wrote in her overlay, “I’m confused abt white tube top girl like I’ve seen 3 different girls in a white tube top idk which one we are hyping.” Her confused video amassed 12.1 million views, and was quite likely the reason why the idea of her spread on the social media platform.

Many women posted about wanting to look like White Tube Top Girl, wondering what her workout routine is, or commenting about their own body sizes. A shame, given that all the women shown in these videos are beautiful in their own rights!
