Ring girl Sydney Thomas proves that the best way to pay tribute to someone is still by putting boobs on them

A Haaland-inspired Halloween post

Thomas posted a carousel of Halloween pictures on Instagram a few days before the story was published. Its caption read “Haappy Haaloween,” and she tagged Haaland. One image in the carousel used an AI face swap to place Haaland’s head on Thomas’ body while she wore her costume. The article identifies the Norwegian soccer star as the inspiration for her look.

A joke about tribute

The story framed the altered image as a humorous way to pay tribute to Haaland. It also noted that Thomas incorporated the face-swap idea into her costume presentation.

Thomas had previously joked before Halloween about dressing as LSU head coach Lane Kiffin losing to Ole Miss. That costume idea did not appear in the look she ultimately shared.

The costume that made the post

The article speculated that Thomas may have struggled to include a similar visual joke in a Kiffin costume, but offered no evidence for that explanation. It then pointed to the Haaland-inspired outfit as an example of how she made the idea work.

The post combined the costume with an edited image, rather than presenting Haaland himself in the scene. Thomas’ Instagram carousel included multiple images, with the face swap appearing fourth.
