Hilarious Times Real People Recreated Outlandish Celebrity Photos

There are a lot of people who would love to get the latest look a celebrity has debuted. If you can’t, you might be able to create a look inspired by it. With a more ironic take on the idea, these people all took the time to hilariously recreate some iconic celebrity looks that have been showcased over the years.

Shoe Fashion

If you’re going out, you have to have the right shoes to complete your outfit. This celebrity went for some really decorated sandals to finish off this modeled look.

Instead of fishing down the exact pair, this Instagram user, Emanuele Ferrari, was determined to make his own pair with things he already had around the house. In the end, it made for a hilarious rendition that wasn’t too far off.

Looks and Rides

When you’re going to a shoot to show off your outfit, you need the right scenery. For this model, that meant getting the right ride.

As for comedian Celeste Barber, she was ready with a ride of her own. We can guess that she probably saved money on this shoot using the toy car in question. It adds a lot of personality to the look, we have to say.

All in the Wig

When you want to imitate a celebrity’s look, you might want to put more into it than just the outfit. For instance, maybe you want their hairstyle too.

If you don’t have enough hair for it or don’t want to make a trip to the salon, a wig is a great way to temporarily have the look you want. What if you don’t have a wig? That’s one thing that this creator knew he had the answer to.

Funny Faces

You don’t have to smile for every picture you share. Sometimes, you want to show off a bit of variety on your Instagram feed.

After Khloé Kardashian posted this funny face online, one Instagram user was ready to try the trend out herself. However, it seems like every funny face is a bit unique. We have to say the recreation is funnier than the original celebrity photo here.

It Looks Just the Same

If there’s one thing everyone needs, it’s a little black dress. You can’t go wrong with a long black gown either, though. This model knew that and it convinced this Instagram user to give it a try.

However, they didn’t have a high-fashion gown laying around. What they did have was a roll of trash bags and an imagination. The results are hilarious and pretty spot-on.

A Toast!

Celebrity outfits are often pushing the limits of what you think of when it comes to fashion. Most people veer away from shards of glass as a dress.

On the red carpet, though, it’s a great way to attract attention – as Shakira shows off here. The recreation on the right might not look as exact as the photo on the left but it’s still hilariously accurate and also a great way to sneak a few toasty snacks on the red carpet.

Red as a Tomato

When you’re creating red carpet couture in your kitchen, you have to use what you’ve got. This means you have to get a bit creative from time to time.

This red number that Blake Lively debuted happened to be as shiny as a cherry tomato. Luckily, that’s exactly what this Instagram user had laying around when they were putting this lookalike outfit together. Altogether, it’s not a bad parody of Lively’s detailed dress.

A Good Belted Dress

Back in the early 2000s, there were few outfits that weren’t complete without a thick belt, even if they served no functional purpose.

This outfit was ready to bring the trend into the new age. It’s pretty brilliant to break up white lace with a futuristic, metallic belt. If you’re in a pinch and need a look for a party, though, a few doilies and some duct tape might help.

Stunning in Silver

Speaking of futuristic silver, there’s not just one outfit that’s used it over the years. This is another example of a way to use silver in fashion.

In this look, the use of silver and fun shapes helps the dress stand out. It also makes it easy to make the jump to tin foil and takeout dishes to make a new version. They even remembered to accessorize the shoes or, in this case, socks.

A Realistic Look

If you look on Instagram, you can find plenty of celebrities and influencers sharing how they look “first thing in the morning.”

When you look at these pictures for more than a second, though, you might notice that these famous faces tend to wake up as airbrushed and styled as when they get ready to face the cameras throughout the day. This parody is a lot more honest.

Same Effect

There’s a chance that if you take the same picture as a celebrity without any editing, you might not look as glamorous as your inspiration.

After all, this photo is pretty airbrushed and the body type this model has isn’t average. That’s okay, if you don’t have a six-pack, a turtle is a great substitute. Not to mention, everyone loves photographing their pets!

We Can See the Inspiration

We have to say, the model in the first photo looks pretty glamorous. Still, her environment raises some questions.

This Instagram user had a real point when they realized that it looked like she was posing in a giant bathtub. Without a massive tub at their disposal, they had to make do with a tub that at least looks a little deeper than average, although she still looks unimpressed.

Toilet Paper Fashion

You can find a bit of artistic inspiration in just about anything, and this person didn’t have to look any further than their hall closet.

Once he had his supplies, what was he supposed to do with them? Well, it seems like he got an idea from flipping through Cardi B’s latest looks. Plus, the toilet paper rolls really made up for the shape of the dress she wore.

Saving Time

It seems like a celebrity photoshoot can feature almost anything as a prop. In this one, Ruby Rose was shaving their arms, of all activities.

In the parody, the pose with the shaving razor and matching outfits is only part of what makes this so comedic. Really, one of the best things about this troll of a celebrity outfit is the shortcut she took on Rose’s iconic tattoos.


Ready for the Oscars

Maggie Gyllenhaal is no stranger to events like the Oscars. This gown she sported one year definitely had a memorable look to it.

As beautiful as it is, we can see how it’d be easy to see a chance to parody the distinct dress shape and pieces of gold foil. All in all, this parody is clear but it’s not too far off from the original either!

Finding the Florist

A black romper is a great piece to have in your closet. Alone, it might not be enough to stand out on the runway, though.

When Cate Blanchett wanted to rock a black romper, she spiced it up with a bouquet to, quite literally, top it off. Given that she had a black romper of her own and access to a florist, the parody here was clear. This parody outfit doesn’t look quite as comfortable as Blanchett’s look.

We’ve All Seen This One

This isn’t necessarily a specific famous picture on its own. However, the pose is definitely iconic – if not cliche – on Instagram. This person wanted to recreate the memorable pose with someone they loved quite a bit.

Their pet was at least semi-willing to play along with their antics for the photo, and the pair nailed the parody! We’re not sure the dog can walk far like this, though.

Why Pay for High Fashion?

So far, we’ve learned that a few rolls of toilet paper can look a bit more high-fashion than you might expect. Well, at least in the right hands, they can look like parodies from a fashion magazine.

The top here is pretty specific but he managed to get the gist of it, without much trouble, using only one roll of toilet paper. But then, you have to keep the setting, of course.

Accessories Are Key

If you choose the best clothes possible for an outfit, that’s only part of the concept. This person had the hair down to boot!

That’s not really what makes this parody so hilarious, is it? While Emma Watson’s bow works with the simple shirt, standing out on its own, the parody version is a bit more comedic. A hairdryer seems a bit harder to keep in place.

Anything for the Fans

The spiderweb-like bodice on this dress is easily meant to be the focal point of this dress. So, of course, that’s what became the subject of parody.

Thanks to the dress being plain white otherwise, this parody was easy to pull off. As for the intricate designs on her chest, he just grabbed a couple of old desk fans to help him out. They look practically the same, right?

Are Those What We Think They Are?

Runway fashion often has pieces of design that seem impractical or stick out to people. This person noticed something familiar in this particular runway outfit.

The best part is that she only had to run to the bathroom to find the supplies that she needed. Unlike a few other outfits we’ve seen, though, it wasn’t toilet paper she needed. While comedic, we have to say that the pads do create the same effect the original outfit has.

Interesting Inspiration

As we just said, not every runway outfit looks as practical as streetwear. Some of them are more about artistic creativity than actual wearability.

While this may have hit the runway, we’ve yet to see anyone trying this look in the office. Maybe this woman’s take on Instagram will get things off the ground. More likely, she’ll probably bring attention to how odd this silhouette is.

Fashion and a Healthy Snack

This celebrity was dripping in green jewels when someone snapped this picture of them. Finding the exact same jewelry could be a challenge and a bit of an expense.

This Instagram user found a way to get the same look without ever leaving the produce aisle. Much like the toast outfit shown, this jewelry seems like it’d make it easier to keep a healthy snack on hand.

Gaga Would Be Impressed

If there’s one celebrity that’s well-known for her ability to stand out on the red carpet and at awards shows, it’s none other than Lady Gaga.

Her looks can seem nearly unreplicable. That is unless you have an eye for parodies and recreations as this guy does. While it might not be exact, we definitely get a laugh at the idea he’s going for with these kitchen supplies.

We Need a Chicken for This One

There are some photos that just need a prop to bring the whole thing together. If that’s not enough, maybe a co-star would help.

It’s not uncommon to see your favorite celebrity posing with a dog or cat. On the other hand, you don’t usually see quite as many chickens but Beyoncé made it happen. In return, this person made sure their own chicken got in on the action.
