- Ooh, ooh.
(rock music)
I'm just really starting to get nervous
that I won't be able to find these specific things.
I'm gonna do something pretty dangerous.
Just kidding, (chuckles) I'm at Goodwill.
Hey, I'm Emily and I consider myself to be a little bit,
a little bit, a lot a bit of a thrift shopaholic,
but I wanted to take this opportunity
to challenge myself a little bit
by recreating celebrity outfits,
which are usually things that I wouldn't buy.
And whatever I can't find at the thrift shop,
I'm just gonna supplement with stuff I already have at home.
This time, I'm gonna recreate Harry Styles' look
from the Met Gala where he debuted this incredible blouse,
it was sheer, it had ruffles,
it had nipple pants and it had shiny shoes,
but I'm certainly no Harry Styles expert,
and I knew that I would need some help with this.
So I spoke to Lindsay,
BuzzFeed's very own Harry Styles expert,
to try and get some advice.
So you're our resident Harry Styles expert.
- I would like to think
I am the resident Harry Styles expert, yes.
- [Emily] What's he known for, what's his thing?
- Harry's known for blending masculine and feminine,
and I would say it's very grandpa-chic almost,
it's very David Bowie.
But yeah, everything he has is custom Gucci. (laughs)
- [Emily] Perfect, easy.
Can do.
So I'm gonna try to recreate his 2019 Met Gala look.
- Oh, okay.
Again, custom Gucci. (laughs)
It is black which might be an easy fabric to pull off.
You might have to do a top and a bottom scenario,
I don't think you can find the full look,
but maybe you could channel the vibe.
Also, you could pull it off.
- Thank you. - Yeah.
- [Emily] That's so sweet, I hope I make you proud.
- I hope so too. - We'll see what happens.
And then when I've completed the look,
we're gonna go find Lindsay
and we're gonna show her what I did.
So with that, I have 20 minutes and only $20
to try to recreate this Harry Styles look.
So I went to Goodwill of Southern California
to see what I could find.
(rock music)
So first thing's first, we gotta find the shirt.
I feel like the black pants are black pants,
but we need this blouse.
So after talking to Lindsay about Harry,
the thing is I can find black pants at a thrift shop,
I can find like a black tank top or whatever,
but I really specifically need
that see-through kind of gauzy blouse,
and if I can't find that,
then the look is simply not the look.
(beep)
(upbeat music)
This is not bad, this is an option.
I just feel like if I mess this look up
that Lindsay's going to be so mad at me
because I've done Harry so dirty.
This is, it's got skulls on it too.
This might be a contender.
Ooh, ooh.
This has the ruffles, 'cause I think his had the ruffles
in the front of it.
I am feeling much better, I'm feeling confident,
I'm feeling powerful, I'm feeling beautiful.
And there we are.
Are you kidding me?
Goodwill, Southern California.
And what are our price points here?
Actually I haven't even checked because I'm losing my mind
that we're finding so many things.
This blouse is $6.99.
Guess how much this blouse is?
$6.99.
And this one?
Another $6.99.
Wow, I'm just at a loss for words.
I think in terms of our blouse options,
we're pretty much good,
so I think it's time to look for pants.
Again, Harry styles, listen, nipple pants.
I'm into it, I don't think we'll be able to find it here,
but I'm not gonna be a pessimist.
I believe that if I want this badly enough,
I'm putting it out into the universe
and it will come back to me.
Look at this, wait a minute.
This is ridiculous.
These are pretty much nipple pants.
We'll find a couple other pairs of nippy pants.
These, guess what the price is?
$6.99.
I have a long torso
so they're not gonna be like nipple pants for me,
but they'll be high enough, you'll get the idea.
I like those and they have pleats.
These are maternity pants,
but they could work for nipple pants.
We could go maternity for Harry.
I'll have his babies regardless.
All right I gotta slow down, I'm running out of arm space.
Listen folks, we found, I think the perfect Harry pant,
and it's my size which is a crazy coincidence
that I wish all of you have.
So I have about a million options here,
which is absolutely insane, but I'm very thankful.
#feelingblessed.
So now I think the only thing
I really have to figure out are the shoes.
He's wearing patent black leather shoes
so we're gonna mosey on over to shoes land.
One issue with me and shoes is that I have large feet.
This is usually the issue I have
when I'm trying to find shoes at a thrift shop,
but here are some loafies.
These are my shoe size.
This is going too well right now and I'm really nervous
because that means something's gonna go really, really bad.
All right.
I'm truly just at a loss for words
because it all fits and it's all exactly what I need.
So I have a thousand articles of clothing in my hand
and the perfect, perfect fitting loafers,
so let's go try these things on.
(upbeat music)
It doesn't button.
We got shoes for $11.99.
We got a blouse for $6.99 and we got pants for another $6.99
and we're Harry Styles and that's it, that's all she wrote.
How's it going?
- Oh it's going great, welcome, welcome.
- Excellent, thank you so much.
- Did you find everything okay?
- Absolutely. - Oh great, great.
- We found too much if I'm being honest.
We're recreating a celebrity look today
and we were able to find everything that we needed
within like 20 minutes.
- Nailed it right away, huh? - Right away!
Too quick, honestly.
- You did take advantage of our white tags so it is 50% off.
- 50% off? - Yes, yes.
50% off for our white tags.
And $22.47 will be your total.
- $22.47?
- And thank you coming. - Thank you so much.
- Enjoy the outfit. - Oh we will.
So I found everything we needed for this Harry Styles look,
we got the blouse, we got the pants, we got the loafers.
Hopefully Lindsay will give me the stamp of approval.
I'm really nervous that she won't.
I would say Harry Styles' red carpet fashion
is absolutely thriftable and we're gonna go put it on.
So this thrift haul went pretty well,
but I have a huge, huge, huge (beep) regret.
Upon revisiting the photograph,
the thing that really stands out to me the most
about the blouse are the ruffles,
and ooh, ooh, ooh it hurts.
What I've decided to do instead is make my own ruffles.
How am I going to do that?
I found a black shirt in my closet that I don't really want,
so I'm gonna try to cut some pieces of fabric
that look like ruffles and pin those to the blouse.
This is the blouse that I did end up going with.
As you can see it's sheer and it has those floral details
just like what Harry has in his picture.
And my favorite part of this outfit are these slacks
that I found.
They're super high waisted, they're really nicely tailored,
they look like they've hardly been worn.
The biggest shock of 'em all,
I was able to find black loafers
that were in my size at this thrift shop.
Again, we don't have to alter any of these pieces
but we do have to make ruffles.
And we're gonna make ruffles right now.
(upbeat music)
(clears throat) Upon further inspection of the picture,
I realized that he not only has ruffles,
but also a necktie of sorts,
so what I'm gonna do is take my shirt
and I'm gonna cut along the sides to open it up.
Let's chop this (beep) up.
So we're just cutting up here.
We can just kind of tie it around my neck.
There's one.
Great, so now I'm gonna try to make two other strips
for the ruffles.
So what I'm thinking, pin this to the top
and then just kinda grab them like this.
So now that I have some rough idea
of what I'm gonna do with the ruffles, I think the best way
to assemble them is to put the shirt on
and then pin the ruffles to it.
(upbeat music)
(Spanish music)
Okay, well done Emily!
I'm so proud of these ruffles.
I'm pretty content with this, let's go see where Lindsay is
and see if she will be content with it as well.
(upbeat music)
What do you think?
- Wow!
You're cute! - Thank you!
- Wait, I love this androgynous look on you!
- Thank you so much!
- [Lindsay] This is your new vibe, it's cute!
- Thank you! - It's actually cute.
You like it? - I do.
- You look really good.
- [Emily] I'm so glad that you like it, I was so nervous.
- I really thought you weren't gonna do,
I thought this would be really hard.
Look at your tattoos through the,
you're like a little female Harry.
- [Emily] I'm a little Harry!
I'm Harry-etta. - Harry-etta!
Henrietta? - Henrietta.
- Harry?
- Harriet. - Whatever, it's fine.
- Harriet. - Harriet!
- That's it, that's the name.
- We stan Harriet!
- We stan, thank you.
