Anika Noni Rose Recreates Viral “Dreamgirls ”Meme of Her Character 17 Years After the Movie

The actress joined in on the fun of the latest TikTok trend to celebrate the new year

Dreamgirls star Anika Noni Rose poked fun at her previous role as Lorell Robinson in the latest viral TikTok trend.

On Monday, the 51-year-old actress shared her version of the TikTok trend that parodies her appearance in the 2006 film during a musical number.

In the Oscar-nominated movie, Rose portrays one of the members of the fictional girl group, The Dreams, who sings backup alongside Jennifer Hudson’s Effie White to Beyoncé's Deena Jones.

During the scene, Rose is seen posing alongside Beyoncé and Hudson with an exaggerated smile. Rose’s reaction is emphasized by a closeup pan shot focusing on her hilarious look, which has now inspired thousands of TikTok videos.

In Rose’s cheeky response video, she shares various clips pulling her “signature” face as she completes everyday chores. As she completes the household tasks, viewers can hear the lyric: "We're your dreamgirls, dreamgirls will never leave you." The same line was used in the viral clip.

“Stepping into the New Year like…” reads the video text.
