- Oh, my gosh, this looks so cool, you guys.
- So the packages have arrived.
- This is it, I think.
(upbeat music)
- Hi, I'm, Yiwa,
and today, we'll be recreating a scene
from "To All the Boys: P.S. I Still Love You."
Lara Jean's aesthetic is very cute and flirty.
She leans into her femininity,
and it's obvious through the dresses
and the skirts that she wears,
where it's very blush pinks, reds, whites.
It kinda has a tone of innocence to it.
And I find this very common in coming of age films.
- Hi, my name is Julianna,
and today, I'll be recreating a scene
from "The Parent Trap."
So this scene, specifically,
they're going to be wearing more casual clothes,
like camp wear.
And I think that's a really cool
because I grew up up north in Wisconsin,
so that's kind of what we wear all the time.
That was how we dress.
We wore sweats, and we wear athletic wear
because we were always outside
and working on farms and doing things like that.
- Hi, I'm Mitchell, and I'm recreating
a scene from "Clueless."
Cher's style is iconic.
I feel like I get a lot of my schoolgirl fantasy looks
from "Clueless" and from Cher, specifically.
I wish I saw characters like myself more
in movies growing up.
Before, I felt like all I had was, like, Steve Urkel,
and I resonated with that, unfortunately.
In that movie, too, you had Dionne.
I felt like Dionne was the one that a black woman,
black girl, like, had to look up to.
She was, like, a main character,
but she was still secondary.
- As we are recreating these iconic scenes,
we'll be trying to find as similar clothes as possible
to the original film.
- [Julianna] How we're going to be doing that
is shopping through either thrifting or shopping online.
- And then have a photographer come
and take our picture on a set
so we can recreate the exact scene as close as possible.
After that, we're gonna be comparing our photos
with the photo from the original scene,
and we'll see how good we do.
I think I'm gonna nail it.
(upbeat music)
So I think it's gonna be interesting
thrifting for these items.
I do think I have a blazer that will work for this,
so I can check that off the list.
But the shirt, I think is gonna be a little tricky.
I don't want to have to shop for everything else online.
I would love to find things thrifting, but an argyle skirt?
- Lara Jean's outfit in the scene is very simple.
It's a dress covered in hearts and a red headband.
However, I do think it'll be quite hard
to find a dress of that pattern in my size.
- So with the scene that we're recreating,
one of the girls has a gray sweatsuit on,
which I think is gonna be pretty easy to find
'cause it's very '90s style, which is very in right now.
Though, the hardest part I'm thinking
for this whole concept
is going to be finding the sunglasses.
'90s sunglasses aren't exactly the easiest thing to find.
- Oh my gosh, this looks almost identical.
It's perfect.
Let's see what size it is.
It's a four.
I'm not a four.
- No, no, no, no.
In the men's section.
- [Woman] Amazing.
- Like, why didn't I think of that?
This is it I think.
- Since I wasn't able to find anything thrifting,
we're gonna do some online shopping.
So I found out that the costume designer
actually thrifted Lara Jean's dress.
So we know I definitely can't find the original,
which is why we're gonna try to find something similar.
This dress looks kinda similar.
It's a little different.
It's, v-neck.
There's no collar like the one in the scene.
And there's a little bit more of a puff sleeve.
After, you know, browsing the internet,
it seems like this is the only one
that comes in my size and that looks similar.
- And I think I found something perfect.
I found a women's cotton lounge set with pockets,
with a soft long sleeve,
And it comes with the right sleeves I'm looking for
and the right color.
Those pants are just a little bit different,
but I think we can make them work.
Let us go onto our next item.
The green hoodie is next.
I can probably make this one work.
I'm going to have to look at all of the colors.
And the darkest green is probably gonna be the best one.
So the last thing that we're going
to be searching for is the green headband
that goes with the gray sweatsuit.
Oh, this one looks right.
This one looks like what we could use.
- So I found the shirt thrifting,
so now I just get to online shop for the rest of it.
Okay, so I'm looking on Google now
to see if I can find the skirt.
It's kind of tricky.
None of these quite look like it.
Oh, okay.
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
I feel like I might've found it.
I'm gonna do it.
Add to cart, boo.
(upbeat music)
- Ooh, this is cute.
It looks like it's gonna fit.
It's very romantic and very cute, very flirty.
I love the sleeves.
- First things first, we've got is the gray sweatsuits.
It feels a little bit lighter than I was expecting.
The pants actually look a lot better.
This headband is perfect.
- Okay, we will make it work.
We will make it work.
We have to.
The print is what it's going to be.
It's not that see-through, but the material
is just a little bit, kind of just, like, stretchy ,
and it's longer than I want it to be.
I think this look is pretty close to the original,
and I think I just gotta bring the Cher attitude.
(upbeat music)
- So we have the final reveal
of the photos behind this laptop screen.
I'm so excited to see what it's gonna look like.
Oh, my gosh.
It's crazy how similar these photos are to the original.
- Let's take a peak.
Oh, my gosh, that is so cool.
That looks so accurate to the actual scene.
That is impressive.
- Oh, my gosh. (laughing)
I'm a star.
Living my best Rodeo Drive life.
- The whole experience was such an adventure
from the beginning to the end.
- Overall, this was a great experience.
I love recreating looks from movies, from TV shows.
I really do like putting my own spin on things,
and I feel like more people should try it out.
- I am so empowered to see myself as a main character.
You know, being a mid-size Chinese American female,
I just want this to empower other people
to realize that they, too,
can emulate main character energy
anywhere and everywhere they want to.
