The 'Willem Dafoe Drip Check' (also known as 'Willem Dripfoe') features a photograph of actor Willem Dafoe walking the runway for the Prada Fall/Winter 2012 menswear show. Known for his intense and expressive acting, Dafoe's stern yet incredibly stylish appearance in a tailored overcoat became a symbol of peak elegance and 'drip' in internet culture. The image gained significant traction on platforms like Twitter and TikTok, where users paired it with 'drip' culture slang and bass-boosted music. It is primarily used to represent someone who has arrived with an undeniable sense of style or to ironically highlight an outfit that is unexpectedly fashionable.
