For those looking to workout in style ala Kelsea Ballerini, lululemon has got you covered.
The athletic brand announced May 1 that Ballerini will act as an ambassador, and some of the country singer’s favorite pieces are available to shop now. Images from Ballerini’s lululemon campaign feature the “Cowboys Cry Too” songstress in the brand’s Align collection. The drop is made of buttery soft fabric without hard seams, making you feel like you’re wearing (almost) nothing at all.

Great for the stage or a run at the gym, the collection features a slew of pieces from breezy shorts and comfy shirts, to sports bras and stretchy leggings. Beyond Ballerini, the Align campaign also features Peloton Instructor Callie Gullickson, Six-time Olympic medallist Suni Lee, and Comedian and Podcaster Hannah Berner.

“When you find something comfortable that also highlights your hard work, that’s a big win,” Ballerini said about the collection, calling the pieces “My go-to for everyday living.”
Here’s how to shop some of Ballerini’s fave lululemon Align pieces.
Align No Line Leggings
High-waisted leggings with soft seams made of a stretchy fabric.
Lululemon’s Align No Line leggings are a comfortable dream. Sitting high-waisted, the silhouette is designed for casual wear, made of a breathable sweat-wicking stretch fabric that moves as you move.
Retailing for $108, the style comes in six different hues, including “True Navy,” “Pool Party” and “Goodnight Plum,” among others. Each colorway is on the neutral side, making the leggings more versatile. We can see these leggings pairing well with other athleisure pieces in boxy silhouettes like a cozy sweatshirts or a shearling zip-up crewneck. Worn with chunky athletic sneakers, you’ll be the talk of your yoga class.
Align High-Rise Skirt
A high-waisted skirt made of a stretchy fabric.
High-rise and flattering, Lululemon’s Align skirt is athleisure with a flirty twist. Retailing for $78, the skirt comes in a variety of hues from “Pink Organza” to “Chilled Grape” from sizes 0 to 14. The skirt is made of a plush, sweat-wicking fabric called Nulu, patented by Lululemon for low-impact activities like Yoga.
This piece is sporty enough that you’ll likely be able to get away with working out in it, but formal enough for a quick coffee run with friends. Think cropped tops and tote bags or a slouchy off-the-shoulder sweater and legwarmers. Or style it with a sports bra ala Ballerini. From errand-running to breaking a sweat, the Align High-Rise skirt can take you anywhere.
Align V-Neck Bra
V-neck bra made of Nulu stretch fabric.
Retailing for $58, the Align V-Neck bra is likely more supportive than your ex. Offered colors include “Light Ivory,” “Starch Blue,” “White” and “True Navy,” among others, a wide selection for those indecisive shoppers. The v-neck silhouette is extremely versatile, equipped with classic sloping lines and a flattering cut that creates a peekaboo effect that works well with low-cut or off-the-shoulder tops.
Depending on what colorway you pick, this bra can be worn with just about any high-waisted bottoms from the Align collection and beyond. Like our other picks on this list, the Align v-neck is made of Nulu fabric, a soft material made to cushion and cradle the wearer.
Align High-Rise Short 6″
High-rise shorts with hidden pocket detailing.
Who doesn’t need a standard pair of athletic shorts? These six-inch Ballerini-approved bottoms retail for $64 and come in on-trending colors like whimsical “Pink Organza” and cool blue “Pool Party.” These shorts are high-waisted and made of that familiar Nulu fabric, making them ultra-stretchy. These bad boys are able to withstand sweat, taking you from downward dog to childs pose with ease.
A surprise hidden pocket on the waistband makes for a perfect place to store the important things. Worn with a wrap top and flats, you’ll look like a prima ballerina. Or go the sportier route and pop on a sports bra and classic white kicks.
Align Bodysuit 25″
A black stretch bodysuit with hidden pockets and a form fit.
Bodysuits are a great way to play off like you have yourself together, even if you really don’t. Lululemon’s Align offering effectively gives off that vibe, all wrapped up in buttery soft Nulu fabric in a versatile jet black hue. Thin shoulder straps give way to a sturdy built-in shelf bra for added support and hidden pockets to stow away snacks or your phone mid-workout.
The bodysuit currently retails for $148. Going solo, this bodysuit can hold its own, however, we think this piece has ample layering potential. Worn with a graphic tee overtop, the jumpsuit transforms into leggings, casual and sleek.
Align Side-Slit Cami Strap Dress
A cami-style dress with a breezy side slit.
When you think of workout wear, you don’t often think of dresses. Despite this, Lululemon’s Side-Slit Cami Strap dress is perfect for just about everything. It currently retails for $148. A jack of all trades, this style tows the line between sporty and casual, cutesie enough to wear to a farmers market picking out overpriced produce, while simultanious perfect for your morning workout.
The cami neckline is universally flattering, while the available colors, “Pink Organza” and “Black,” are versatile enough that you’ll have no problem wearing them with other items in your closet. Aditionally, the side slit imparts a breezy touch, perfect for eleviating sweaty situations. Paired with a stretchy headband and your favorite sneakers, the dress is simultaneously preppy and sporty, ideal for your next workout or hangout.

One Connecticut couple f***ed around and eventually found out after allegedly going on a Lululemon boosting spree across the country.
NBC News reports that Jadion Richards, 44, and Akwele Lawes-Richards, 45, were pinched at a Lululemon store in Woodbury, Minnesota, and charged with organized retail theft on November 4.
According to the news website, the couple boosted around $1 million in Lululemon merchandise nationwide. Before their arrest, the complaint notes that the couple visited another Lululemon location in Roseville, Minnesota, with an unidentified man, where they allegedly stole $5,000 worth of product.
The couple allegedly had an elaborate theft scheme they used when visiting the locations that ensured they could make off with the goods.
Per NBC News:
An investigator for Lululemon said the couple and the organized crime group they work for had been stealing from stores across the country since September and are responsible for nearly $1 million worth of financial loss for the company, per the complaint.
The investigator explained how the couple allegedly run their theft scheme, with Richards typically entering the store first and purchasing a couple of small items. Richards and Lawes-Richards would then remove a security sensor from another item in the store that they’d attach to the small items Richards purchased, then steal other items that they’d conceal under their clothes and jackets.
Lawes-Richards and a third person would walk out of the store ahead of Richards with the stolen items, and when the security sensor at the store would beep, Richards would offer his bag that contained the small purchased item with a sensor attached to it to staff, according to the complaint. The couple would then take the stolen items to another store to exchange them without a receipt.
Well damn.
Lululemon’s Statement on The Couple’s Arrest
In a statement, Lululemon’s vice president of asset protection, Tristen Shields, spoke on the couple’s arrest, saying that the company is committed to “creating a safe and secure environment” for shoppers and staff.
Shields continued, “This outcome continues to underscore our ongoing collaboration with law enforcement and our investments in advanced technology, team training, and investigative capabilities to combat retail crime and hold offenders accountable. We remain dedicated to continuing these efforts to address and prevent this industry-wide issue.”
After the couple’s arrest, authorities obtained a search warrant. They found large suitcases containing an estimated $50,000 worth of Lululemon products in a rented room at the J.W. Marriott in Bloomington, Minnesota.
Online records indicate the couple was booked into the Ramsey County Jail on November 14. NBC News reports that Lawes-Richards got out on $30,000 bail on Tuesday, November 19, and Richards was released Thursday, November 21, on $100,000 bail.

The body, lining and mesh fabrics are all designed from 100% recycled materials making it both vegan and sustainable.
Lululemon reviewers can’t get over how “stylish” and “chic” the bag looks. One shopper even said it was better than a luxury designer bag, opting for the Lululemon as their everyday pick.
“Best bag ever!” they wrote. “I was carrying the Marc Jacobs tote bag, but it faded and got dirty. I decided to get this one and I love it more! Fits everything you need, looks sleek, clean and sits perfectly on your shoulder.”
While the purse comes in three colors: white, black and green, the white shade is already sold out and the other colors aren’t too far behind. It even comes with a price tag of only $68, making it more affordable than the Taylor Swift-worn Aupen bag. Pick up the Lululemon purse here.

The founder of athletic wear giant Lululemon is facing renewed backlash after expressing his dislike for the company’s diversity & and equality initiatives, prompting the company to distance itself.
In an interview, Lululemon founder Chip Wilson caused more controversy when he expressed his dismay about the company’s diversity and equality initiative efforts, referring to it as a “whole diversity and inclusion thing.” The Vancouver, British Columbia native spoke to Forbes Magazine for an in-depth profile interview when he made those remarks. He began by commenting on the women-centered brand’s models in their advertisements, calling them “unhealthy,” “sickly” and “not inspirational.”
Wilson would go further, stating: “They’re trying to become like the Gap, everything to everybody. And I think the definition of a brand is that you’re not everything to everybody… You’ve got to be clear that you don’t want certain customers coming in.” The 67-year-old billionaire also belittled Lululemon’s move to include larger-sized people by having clothing that fits individuals up to size 20 in its six core styles, and considered their expansion into men’s wear “appalling.”
Wilson stepped down from the company in 2013 after remarking that the see-through effect of leggings from the athleisure brand could be blamed on “some women’s bodies.” “It’s really about the rubbing through the thighs, how much pressure is there over a period of time,” he stated. In a 2004 interview with the Canada National Post Business Magazine, he drew sharp criticism after revealing his inspiration for naming Lululemon: “I recognized that the Japanese consumer liked a name with an L in it because the letter isn’t in the Japanese language. It sounded American,” he said at the time. “So I thought if I ever have another company I am going to put three L’s in it,” before adding “It’s funny to watch them try and say it.”
According to former employees interviewed last November, that culture of discrimination still exists. A statement released by Lululemon in response to Wilson’s remarks slammed the founder, saying: “Chip Wilson does not speak for Lululemon, and his comments do not reflect our company views or beliefs. Chip has not been involved with the company since his resignation from the board in 2015 and we are a very different company today.” The spokesperson added, “We also recognize that becoming a more diverse and inclusive organization takes time and is only possible through the sustained efforts of our leaders and our people.”

Beyoncé’s Renaissance Tour is coming to a close soon, and while some of us are lucky enough to have gotten or plan to get last-minute tickets, her backup dancer Brianna Pavon has treated us to some behind-the-scenes content that won’t be shown onstage.
Pavon posted a video to her personal TikTok on Sept. 11, showing off the Lululemon Curve Duffle bag as well as the must-haves she packs inside. While the exact style she uses is no longer in stock, there is a similar one by the brand that is still available.
“This bag has seen the world literally three times,” Pavon says in the video.
Within her personal bag, she carries everything from a long phone charger, muscle massage balls, AirPods and the Laneige lip mask — and that’s just in a single front pocket. She also goes on to say that through Lululemon’s warranty, you can replace the bag or, if it’s out of stock, get a similar style for equal or lesser value, making the price tag worth the investment.
