About

Can You Be Fat and Still Have Aura, spelled Can U Be Fat and Still Have Aura, refers to a catchphrase and image caption trend based on a viral X / Twitter post asking the question. The format, which involves combining the phrase with images of fat characters and celebrities who possess a certain vibe, coolness or je ne sais quoi, gained virality on X in late March 2024.
