Instagram Really Went For The 'Met Gala Challenge'

It was almost as good as the real deal - by Grace Back
  • 06 May 2020
Instagram Really Went For The 'Met Gala Challenge'

If there's one thing that's kept us entertained in isolation, it's the weird and wonderful trends on Instagram. Creativity is at an all-time high during the pandemic, from the #pillowchallenge to the #rainbowchallenge, the world has been keeping themselves busy in quarantine. 

On the first Monday in May, while the 2020 Met Gala was sadly postponed for obvious reasons, people decided to celebrate anyway, by re-creating the most iconic Met Gala dresses at home, using whatever they had to hand. It was almost as good as the real deal. 

One influencer even re-created Lady Gaga’s iconic outfit changes from last year, by making the four Brandon Maxwell dresses and underwear out of bedsheets and laundry baskets, even getting her parents involved.

lady gaga at the met gala: at home edition ✨ feat my dad as the umbrella helper in a suit and my mom as the camera person :D (they are the real mvps here 😤💕) . . but this is my official entry for @voguemagazine 's #metgalachallenge! The goal was to recreate iconic met gala looks at home, and this is my take on @brandonmaxwell 's design for @ladygaga - feat. pink bedsheets, laudrybaskets, my black photo backdrop, and other clothes i had around the house! . . (sorry there is no part 2 showing the making of the pink coat! Midterms are currently kicking my butt, so i had to rush this project a bit, and that meant no time to film and edit part 2 😅 but nevertheless, i really wanted to get it done, and I'm glad i was able to! its not exactly my best work, but it was a fun challenge! :) ✨ . . Materials for this look were: - and old laundry bin - Carboard - Fanny pack - Scrap black fabric & muslin - Zip ties - old photo backdrop - a lot of hot glue/thread/pins - Pink bedsheets - clothes/accessories from around the house - and my blonde lio (promare) wig haha . . I know this isn't like my normal style of project, but thank you all so much for coming along for the ride! . . . . #metgala #diy #diyfashion #fashion #cosplay #cosplaywip #crescentshay #recycledfashion #redcarpet #fashiondress #ladygaga #ladygagacosplay #redcarpetdress #eveningdress #historicalcostuming

It didn't stop there. Others turned to red carpet favourites like Rihanna in her Comme Des Garcons dress and her Guo Pei dress she wore at the China: Through The Looking Glass Met Gala. Dresses worn by Celine Dion, the Kardashians and Solange also made the cut. Keep scrolling for some of the best:
