- You're definitely giving me Billie Eilish.
- I get Billie vibes.
- Billie Eilish.
- What do you have on your body?
(energetic rock music)
- I'm getting a little nervous.
I don't know if I'm going to be able to find what I need
to recreate this look.
Hi, I'm Emily and I consider myself to be
a little bit of a thrift shopaholic.
(dings)
I'm constantly buying tee shirts.
Jeans.
Sweaters.
Jackets.
The usual, right, kind of what everyone buys.
So I decided to challenge myself
to recreate celebrity looks
but only with thrift shop finds.
I'm gonna recreate this 2017 Billie Eilish look
which means I'm gonna need to find a red shirt,
a black tracksuit with red stripes,
red sneakers, a body chain, and a harness?
Help me.
But can you actually recreate popular celebrity styles
by thrift shopping alone?
Well, we have $150, a couple of hours,
and we're about to find out.
(energetic rock music)
Immediately, red shirt, it's cropped.
Here we go, red shirt.
So this has something on it.
However, I can probably flip it this way,
cut it, kaboom.
What do we think the odds are of finding a track suit?
I think probably slim to none.
My thinking is if I can't find a matching tracksuit
I'm gonna find a black jacket and then black pants
that kind of go with it.
I think pants-wise, I think we might be alright.
Oh, for heaven's sake, these might be perfect.
(coat hangers rattling)
(dings)
These are Tommy Hilfiger, don't mind if I do.
Now I just need to find a jacket and some accessories.
(energetic rock music)
Jacket, jacket, jacket, jacket, jacket, ooh!
This is a brand new boohoo jacket.
I don't even know what Billie's tracksuit is,
but I'm gonna guess it's Gucci,
and I'm gonna guess it was a thousand dollars.
Red, black.
Yikes.
(energetic rock music)
Liking the stripes.
Price is right at $28, fabulous.
I need like five more arms.
I really can't believe this is actually going that well.
I'm shocked.
I think I'm finding all of these things.
Oh...
Sure.
I'm gonna put those two other red shirts back 'cause
this one's perfect and cheaper.
(dings)
Goodbye.
(coat hangers rattling)
I used to work in retail.
So, so far, jacket, pants, pants, pants,
another jacket, pants, my red shirt.
Alright, I'm going to see if they'll hold these
in the fitting room.
(Voiceover) I found clothes I think
Billie would be proud of.
Now I'm just hoping to find two belts
to try to make that harness.
I was hoping that I would be able to find two belts
that were pretty similar.
And they're all very different,
that I don't really know if I'll be able to work with this,
this isn't my vision.
That's a little disappointing.
Might have to figure something else out for the harness.
Lucky for me, right next to the belts were the bags
and that's really when everything started to come together.
Might be able to do somethin' with these purse handles.
If I find a cheap bag, with handles,
think they can kind of, fit around me like that.
We might be in business.
And that would be a crazy thrift flip.
I think the key to this
is finding a bag with a long strap.
We're getting close.
(purses rattling)
Ooh!
I just found a lucky penny.
(dings)
And this one's adjustable.
And that's a nice laptop case, that's Marc Jacobs.
I might have to get this.
'Cause not only would I have my harness,
but then I would have a Marc Jacobs bag.
What if I did it from - I don't know.
Listen, I don't know.
(bleep) ain't bad.
(bleep) ain't bad at all.
(dings)
If I supplement this with one belt, that's kind of close.
Here's that other belt.
Obviously, different.
Oh yeah.
I think I might be in business with this guy.
All right, I'm gonna hold onto this.
Gonna hold onto my bag,
I think we've just made our harness.
(dings)
The other accessories we need are the body chain,
and the shoes, let's go check out the shoes.
(upbeat music)
I'm a size nine and a half ladies,
which is a eight in men's I believe,
seven and a half, eight.
These are an eight and a half.
So these are for sure gonna fit.
They're Adidas Top Ten, they're pretty sweet.
And only slightly worn.
And (sniffs) they don't smell.
Okay.
(upbeat music)
(chuckles) Perfect.
Gonna look at my picture of Billie.
Yeah, these are close enough.
These are close enough.
- [Employee] Do you want the bigger room?
- [Emily] That'd be lovely, yeah.
Thank you so much.
(door squeaking)
All right, we're gonna try these things on,
hopefully they work!
(door squeaking)
(door shuts)
(energetic rock music)
(door squeaking)
I found my clothes.
Only thing I need left is the body chain,
and I think I did it.
I think the only thing that I haven't quite figured out yet
is the waist chain.
Lookin' at one of those gold necklaces,
think that might be our key.
Can I see the one, like that whistle one, that gold one?
- Yeah.
- Cool, see if it fits around my waist.
Guess what?
That's gonna work.
A waist whistle, I'll grab that too.
- That looks great.
What were you recreating?
- So, I'll show you,
it's a Billie Eilish outfit.
I think we're gonna nail it.
- Oh, that's so perfect.
- Right?
- Yes.
- And then I'm gonna use--
- This jacket.
- Right, and I'm gonna use this as like a harness.
- Nice.
- We're gettin' crafty.
- Oh yeah.
(upbeat music)
(dings)
- Thank you.
(mouths) We did it, we did it!
We did it, let's go!
Hello, we just got back from Crossroads,
here's my bounty.
Let's take a look.
(voiceover) Red shirt and shoes.
Laptop case.
Black denim jacket.
The pants!
Then we have this belt,
and then I have this necklace (blows whistle)
that we're going to use as a body chain.
I didn't know it actually worked.
That's a straight-up whistle.
Let's do it! (blows whistle)
(energetic rock music)
It's time to cut some stuff.
Let's go.
Take a good look at it,
'cause it's not gonna look like this ever again.
So, I'm probably gonna cut it like, here.
Once we take it off, we can't put it back on.
Okay.
Ooh, here we go.
(energetic rock music)
(scissors cutting fabric)
We've done it.
We've cropped the shirt.
The only thing we have left to crop
is the jacket.
Let's see where we need to crop it.
One, two.
(sighs)
All right, right after the third button.
There's no goin' back.
(energetic rock music)
(scissors cutting fabric)
It's done.
Did it.
And it looks pretty cropped,
I hope I didn't mess it up.
Let's see.
That's pretty good for eyeballin'.
We've altered what we needed to alter,
the next step is just puttin' it on.
(upbeat music)
Oh yeah, mama did it.
(upbeat music)
- It's Billie, isn't it?
- You're definitely giving me Billie Eilish.
- Yeah, I get Billie vibes.
- Billie Eilish.
- I'm definitely getting like Billie Eilish vibes.
(beeps)
- Am I Billie Eilish?
- [Producer] Oh my God is that Billie Eilish?
- Guess so.
(upbeat music)
