Just days ago, thieves pulled off a stunning heist at the Louvre in Paris, stealing historic jewelry valued at an estimated 88 million euros.

The robbery occurred Sunday when hooded assailants broke through a second-floor window using a stolen movers’ lift before making off with jewels from the royal collection, Reuters reported.

Already, the heist has become an online sensation — with multiple trends and memes popping up across social media platforms.

Namely, there’s been a trend to watch heist-related movies following the Louvre break-in. The New York Times even published a list of six heist movies it recommended for viewing.

“If you thought that heist at the Louvre sounded like something out of a movie, this collection of heist films just might be for you,” the article says.

The suggestions were:

“How to Steal a Million” (1996) “The Thomas Crown Affair” (1999) “The Great Muppet Caper” (1981) “Hudson Hawk” (1991) “Ocean’s 8” (2018) “The Mastermind” (2025)

Some online creators are posting hypothetical outfits they’d wear if they were the ones robbing the Louvre.
