The shapewear, which is designed so that it "snatches" your face, drew many comparisons to Hannibal Lecter after its release on Wednesday.

Face wraps are not new, and similar designs have existed for years, typically used post-surgery. But Skims has rebranded the concept saying the "must-have" wrap can be used "everyday" and that it's intended to "shape and sculpt".

People are so intrigued by the topic that even the legendary Anthony Hopkins revisited his iconic Hannibal Lecter role from "The Silence of the Lambs," poking fun at Kim Kardashian, who recently launched a compression garment designed to shape and sculpt. Social media users have since compared the beige face wrap to Lecter's famous mask.
