The TikTok influencer referred to as The Lorax opted out of her usual vibrant orange ensemble at the TikTok Awards on Thursday. Instead, Ashby — known as @_ashbyflorence_ — wore a red, sequined gown adorned with whimsical text. Mashable was present on the Hollywood red carpet for the TikTok Awards, and our journalists appreciated her fashion choice.

Fans truly admire Ashby — she has been a beloved figure at Mashable since her rise to fame this year. She is even set to present the Live Creator of the Year award on Thursday.

While various dictionaries have picked “slop” or “6-7” as their words of the year, Ashby informed Mashable on the red carpet that her chosen word of the year is “conundrum.” Regarding her viral moment with Lin-Manuel Miranda, she can hardly remember anything except that he had a delightful scent. Way to go, Lin!
