The Try Guys, a popular YouTube channel, hosted a challenge to recreate iconic Met Gala looks using only items available in their own homes. The event was a way to celebrate fashion, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic when the Met Gala was delayed.
The hosts, Ned, Zack, and Keith, each chose a famous Met Gala dress to recreate. Ned chose Rihanna's 2018 look, where she dressed as a pope. Zack chose a gown from Kim Kardashian's 2019 camp-themed Met Gala look. Keith chose a gown from the 2018 Met Gala, where Blake Lively wore a heavenly bodies and Catholic imagination-themed gown.
The process was a mix of crafting, creativity, and humor. The hosts used items from around their homes, like sheets, dowel rods, and even garbage bags. They also used their imagination to create the illusion of expensive materials and gowns. For example, Keith used aluminum foil to create the illusion of silver, and he used a light bulb as a prop to mimic the illumination effect of the original gowns.
The hosts also made use of their own bodies to create the shapes of the gowns. For instance, Ned used a yoga mat as a red carpet for his outfit. Zack used a pillow to create the shape of the corset in Kim Kardashian's look, and Keith used a tin can to create a bun for Blake Lively's look.
Despite the challenges, the hosts managed to recreate the looks with creativity and a sense of humor. They even used plastic wrap to give their outfits a shiny, wet appearance, similar to the original gowns. The process was a testament to their resourcefulness and creativity, and it resulted in unique, homemade versions of the iconic Met Gala looks.
