If you thought you had seen it all on TikTok, wait until you meet Elsa García (@elsagarcia648), the Cuban who has taken social media by storm with her creativity and sense of humor. In a video that has already amassed over 300,000 views, the woman can be seen trying on her New Year's outfit, a dress made from nothing less than Royal rice sacks.
“Trying on clothes for the 31st, I don't know if I should wear sandals or heels. At my age, I enjoy it,” Elsa wrote in the clip as she modeled her creation in front of a Christmas tree. Within seconds, the video was filled with laughter, applause, and comments declaring her “the queen of basmati rice.”
The reactions came quickly: “Royal, this lady deserves financial compensation for making her rice dishes so original,” commented a user. Others joked that “that dress costs at least $48 because it's made from two sacks,” or that “Marilyn Monroe did it with potatoes, and Elsa with rice.”
But the best came from the popular ingenuity. "I'm not throwing away another bag, next year I'm making my own," said a follower. "With heels, you look like a true Royal; you gave us outfit, creativity, and high fashion," wrote another. "Rice is expensive, but now I understand: it's reusable," someone added with laughter. There was even someone who claimed that "the brand should give free rice for life for such an amazing promotion."
Amidst laughter, nostalgia, and Cuban pride, there were those who reminisced about the past: “My grandmother used to tell me that they made her a sack dress with the label '100 pounds net,' and everyone looked at her thinking it was because she was beautiful,” wrote an excited user.
The consensus in the comments was unanimous: the outfit looks better with heels. But beyond the joke, everyone agreed on one thing: Elsa stole the show with her originality, joy, and attitude to end the year in her own style. And if Royal doesn't call her for an advertising campaign, the entire internet is ready to remind them.
