It only takes one good thirst trap to derail an otherwise productive day. This week, Frankie Grande and Troye Sivan didn’t just post selfies—they delivered masterclasses in keeping people talking. One towel, one pair of boxer briefs, and countless double takes later, the mission was accomplished.
One is embracing his most liberated era with towel selfies that leave almost everything to the imagination. The other is teasing a new musical chapter with the kind of cheeky marketing campaign only Troye Sivan could pull off. Together, they’ve proven that being booked, busy, and just a little bit scandalous remains undefeated.

Frankie Grande’s towel deserves supporting actor recognition
There’s no escaping Frankie Grande in 2026. The talented star is currently slaying the Broadway stage as Victor Garber/Luigi on Titaníque and he recently released his new memoir Supergay!
Despite his packed schedule with his exciting projects, Frankie Grande is hitting the gym harder than ever and flaunting his ripped physique all over social media.
Frankie Grande is taking things up a notch by posting a slew of new gym photos that leave very little to the imagination. In one particular selfie, the singer wears a towel just over his crotch, and social media is having a field day with the sexy photo.
Honestly, that towel is working harder than some Broadway understudies.
If fans think this photo is hot, then they really should watch his music video for his steamy banger Boys, which is streaming now on YouTube. The video features Grande as he gets into some naughty locker room fun with the sexy MISTR men.
The star can also be seen getting on his knees, sitting in their laps, licking their torsos, and even serving up some seductive choreography in a tight Speedo while cruising the steam room. There’s no denying Grande is feeling very sexually liberated, so why not celebrate it?
Whether he’s selling books, stealing scenes on Broadway, or making gym mirrors the most popular supporting cast members on Instagram, Frankie Grande clearly isn’t interested in playing it safe. And judging by the reactions online, nobody is asking him to.
Troye Sivan’s cheeky teaser has fans zooming in
Troye Sivan is teasing his next album in the cheekiest of ways.
In recent weeks, the full-fledged pop star and twink extraordinaire has (briefly) publicized his finsta, posted a stunning new photo of himself wearing nothing but lacy lingerie and a leather duster coat, and shaken his rump to mimic one of his most iconic music videos.

Outfitted in a light orange sweater and black pants, Sivan stood cheek to cheek with an image of himself from the video of his 2023 hit, “Got Me Started.” Much like in the video, Sivan’s pants are pulled down to reveal the outline of his derriere.

But unlike the blonde-haired boy on the poster, Sivan wasn’t showing a pair of tight, little red undies. Instead, the now-black-haired 31-year-old was wearing… red and blue checkered cotton boxer briefs?!
Always an artist, Sivan clearly planned out his peachy reveal. From our vantage point, it’s pretty clear he gave himself a wedgie. With the fabric pulled tight, one can see all of the cutie’s assets…
Subtle? Absolutely not. Effective? Let’s just say plenty of people suddenly remembered that Instagram has a zoom feature.
Troye Sivan knows exactly what he’s doing
Whatever Troye Sivan is doing, it’s working. He’s generated a ton of buzz over the last couple of weeks with risqué, enigmatic teases. On his finsta alone, he shared pics of him with ex-bf Jacob Bixenman, an apparent sixth toe and a near-nude, obscured by a well-placed star emoji.
On his public account, he shared the aforementioned pic of himself in a long coat and lingerie.
“Soon,” the caption reads…
As incongruous as they may seem, lacy lingerie and longer boxer shorts are both in right now. Much like jockstraps, thongs and lingerie are thriving in a transgressive, post-bottom-shaming era.
Meanwhile, boxer shorts are a complement to the Y2K dirty boy look. We hear they pair nicely with long, baggy jorts. Judging by his most recent IG pic, Sivan is also working on his mullet.
In that pic, studious gawkers may notice that he’s wearing classic black Calvin’s. When it comes to underwear, Troye Sivan doesn’t appear to discriminate. And that’s great.
Whether he’s hinting at a new era or simply reminding everyone that no one markets an album quite like Troye Sivan, fans are happily accepting every breadcrumb.
Two stars, two thirst traps, one very entertaining week
Frankie Grande brought Broadway confidence and towel diplomacy. Troye Sivan responded with fashion-forward underwear choices and an expertly calculated backside reveal. Neither announced a world-changing event, yet both somehow managed to dominate timelines for entirely understandable reasons.
Sometimes pop culture gives us serious headlines. Other times it gives us Frankie Grande in a towel and Troye Sivan committing wholeheartedly to the bit. Honestly, we’ll happily take both.
