- Her photo, my photo.
Her photo, my photo.
- Why doesn't it look like her?
You are literally so fat and trans.
Hi, I'm Jordan.
- Hi, I'm Mei.
And this week we're going to be posting like Olivia Rodrigo.
- On Instagram.
- I absolutely love Olivia Rodrigo.
I think that we're pretty similar
in the way that sometimes we do take Instagram
pretty seriously or whatever,
but then there are other times
that we just kind of post whatever we want
and have fun with it.
- I'm excited and also nervous because, like,
the aesthetic is similar,
but the clothing choices are not.
Also, obviously we look nothing alike.
- So the next five days, I'm going to be recreating photos
from Olivia's Instagram feed to the best of my ability.
And then, I'm going to be posting them to my own Instagram.
So I'm a little bit nervous,
but I'm mostly just really excited.
I knew Olivia and I had a little bit of a different style.
I didn't think I was going to have
every single thing she owned in my closet or anything.
But I just looked through all of my clothes
and have not a single item of clothing
that even closely resembles
the clothes that she's wearing in her photos.
Looks like we're going to need to do some online shopping.
I am so obsessed with this look on her.
I love the way that she's been integrating
this bad-ass punky vibe in her style.
Honestly, why is this one already kind of it?
I'm going to keep looking, but that kind of looks
exactly like it.
- The one that I am a little bit nervous about finding
is the checkered skirt.
I also think that as the pop girl of the moment,
I like how she's like kind of paying homage to Britney.
I'm going to check out on Fashion Nova
because I know that they have
some of the more scandalous stuff.
Having it be like plaid and the right silhouette
that seems correct.
And I know that I'm not going to be able to
find this anywhere else.
So we're definitely going to go with this plaid mini-skirt.
- Let's see these boots.
Okay wait.
These kind of look.
These are definitely a lot more grungy.
And that top, I feel like I've seen it before.
If anything, this store has a very similar vibe.
Oh my god, wait.
That's the top.
That has to be the exact top.
Add to cart, baby.
Pink ruffle off the shoulder dress?
These are giving me very much wedding reception vibes.
This is not the Olivia vibe.
This one is a challenge.
This one is definitely a challenge,
but we're going to find something.
- Also, on Fashion Nova,
because I know that they have some good dresses,
I'm going to look for a hot pink dress.
None of them have any embellishments on them.
I think I can do some finagling and put on
some embellishments of my own.
I can't wait for everything to arrive.
- The wait is over.
It is officially day one of recreating Olivia's photos,
and I'm so nervous.
But the first look that we're recreating,
we're starting with a bang,
is her kind of more punky look.
I think to most people,
she probably comes off as super sweet and dainty and stuff.
But this kind of gives us another side to her,
and I think that that's awesome.
Like it looks so good on her.
It's just so not my style.
But the thing that is really getting me about this outfit
are these platform boots.
Now, mine are definitely a little bit more,
more punk than hers because I couldn't find
anything even remotely similar to these.
We're making it work.
- Today I think people are automatically going to be
tipped off that this is not my personal vibe.
This outfit that I'm about to put on
is not what I normally wear.
I really like how she posted this picture from backstage.
It makes it seem like it's her page
as opposed to her as a brand.
- So today, I'm going to have my own
personal hair and makeup artist, AKA my roommate.
We're doing a thing.
I'm so scared that I'm going to look so weird
because I don't ever wear makeup.
But it's fine.
- It's fine.
- We're channeling our inner Olivia.
- This outfit, hilarious on me.
Also, I don't know if I'm going to be able to zip it.
I wish my roommate was home.
- Feeling so uncomfortable in this makeup,
but it's giving me very much,
I wear makeup when we dated
because I thought you'd like me more.
Oh god, okay.
The thought of putting these on
is so scary.
Like, who?
I don't.
I don't, all this is already stressing me out.
Like this?
- Okay, I have this necklace that kind of looks like hers.
She really doesn't put any editing on her pictures,
which I appreciate.
I think that people will be very confused by the outfit.
We'll see, I don't know.
- I've never felt less myself in my entire life.
Let's get taking photos.
I'm feeling so anxious about posting these.
I feel like the thing is I actually look really cute.
If I took my own style of photos,
even though this isn't at all my style of clothing,
I feel like I would like it, honestly.
- For day two, Queen Tiye and I
took pictures like Olivia and Conan.
For celebrities to post
just pictures of them chilling at home,
I think it really kind of dismantles celebrity culture
in a way that's like fun.
- Head is like there.
Heck yeah.
- Oh yeah, baby.
- Look at that blanket.
- Okay great.
Oh my god.
- Today's a lot easier and a lot more normal
to how I actually post on Instagram
because it's just a photo dump.
Photo dumps are genuinely
one of my favorite types of Instagram posts ever,
but I feel like most celebrities don't do things like this
because there's so much calculation
and professionalism, I guess.
What I'm going to do for this one is I'm going to try
and match the first picture that she posted perfectly.
And then, for the rest of the photo dump,
I think I'm just going to try and emulate the energy.
I'm proud of myself for finding this exact shirt,
but also this is not a shirt.
I feel like it's not even safe for the Internet.
Because I don't have any mirrors
in this apartment that look at all like hers,
I made the executive decision
that we're going to take the picture in this mirror
and then I'm going to Photoshop it into
the picture that Olivia posted.
- We're going to crop it.
We're going to black and white it.
And then, we're going to post.
I'm so excited.
We did it.
- Day three, and today we are recreating a mirror selfie.
I notice that exit sign in the back,
and it just makes me feel like
she was just in some random building
and whipped out her phone to take a selfie.
We're on the same page, bestie.
The top that she's wearing has a bit of like a bodice,
bustier vibe.
So that's what I went for,
and I tried to match the color as perfectly as I could.
So I guess all I have to do is get dressed,
put my accessories on, and then take the picture.
Okay, I was trying to find the best lighting
at my house right now.
And this is it.
This is great selfie lighting.
But also, it's literally balancing on this window pane.
I am playing a very dangerous game with that.
I know this is crazy, but it actually does feel stable, so.
- Today, we have the mirror selfie.
But it's not actually in a mirror.
It's in Photo Booth.
I love a Photo Booth picture.
Early 2000s, the Photo Booth selfie but updated.
I'm already wearing this shirt.
Mine is see-through.
Hers isn't.
But that's okay.
Okay.
My setup is obviously different than hers.
I feel like this challenge is kind of hard
because I feel like it feels very forced to me.
I don't like copying.
I don't like copying the pictures.
But let's post.
Let's do it.
I already had one friend who was like, I know what this is.
So clearly we're not fooling anybody.
- Not to get too crazy with my confidence,
but not only did I absolutely kill this one,
I look so good.
Her photo, my photo.
I was right about to post the photo,
and then I was just like, you know,
the Photoshop thing was kinda fun before.
Let me just try it out.
It's insane.
Hold on, I need to show you.
So every time I pulled out my phone to check Instagram,
I've been seeing comments like, is this for a video?
This has to be for a video.
And I think after posting this one,
it's going to kinda solidify it.
Once was maybe just for fun.
Two, maybe a coincidence.
But three pictures that are exactly like hers,
especially with the Photoshop,
I think it's going to give it away.
But I think it's so fun that people are catching on.
- Today we will be doing the glam look.
If I were going to an event,
I too would take a picture like this.
It kind of takes her out of the celebrity world.
I was at a loss for this outfit.
So I'm going to just make it myself, I guess.
Are you even going to be able to tell that it's red?
Her mesh is just so much darker than mine.
- This is the day that I'm absolutely
by far least excited about.
I know the whole, like, taking a flash photo of yourself
is definitely a thing, but not for me.
So it's a glam look.
But something about it on her is just working.
It just makes you feel like you're on the same level as her.
It's a dress, a pink dress,
which just does not really scream my style,
and I really feel uncomfortable about it.
Now this dress feels like a crime to put on my body.
I feel like I am being so
not true to myself, putting this on.
But we're going to do it.
And we're going to post today.
Woo-hoo.
- So I put on my bikini.
And what I'm gonna do is a little bit of makeup
because she's not wearing that much.
I mean, she's wearing a lot of makeup,
but I'm not going to put on that much.
Oh.
I have to cut my rope still.
I think I'm ready to take the picture.
Pray for me.
- I think we've reached new levels
of me being uncomfortable for videos.
I thought the first one was bad.
This one is 10 times worse.
This selfie is giving me very much like,
just took my hair down and now I look like this.
I really don't know if my hair's going to do that
when I take it out of this bun.
Honestly, I didn't nail the selfie,
but I had to stop because I'm going through
an existential crisis of why I don't look exactly like her.
And I don't really want to feel like that,
so we're done.
- I keep on reminding myself that we don't look the same,
so the pictures are not going to look the same.
I'm like, why doesn't it look like hers?
Like, you are literally so fat and trans.
You're not going to look like an 18-year-old cis girl.
I feel like my followers are really
just going to go with it though.
They don't usually get confused at what I post
because I post a lot of weird stuff.
- Never in my life have I taken something
off my body so quickly.
I cannot explain to you how much I hated that.
I really am not a fan of any of them,
which is not my fault.
We're not the same person.
I don't need to look like her.
That's fine.
But also, when literally the goal is to recreate
pictures of her, it's kind of hard to not like,
slip into that mentality.
And I think I'm going to turn the like count off
on this one because I just don't care to see it
because I don't want to base any more value
on this picture that I already have.
So setting boundaries.
- We did it.
See you more tomorrow for the ultimate Olivia look.
- It is day five, the end of the week.
To be honest, I'm kind of glad that it's going to be over.
But we're going out with a bang
because today we're doing the sour prom look.
I think it's just like a fun behind the scenes thing,
and it kind of makes her followers feel
a lot more connected to her.
It just makes it a lot more personal.
I'm excited to end the week with this one,
so let's get to it.
- I got my hair done last night.
And we are going to have to get a little crafty again
because I couldn't find a sash that looked like hers.
So we're just going to make one.
So this is the dress that I found from Fashion Nova.
The dress doesn't fit me, but that's okay
because you only need to see this part.
And we have the sash.
I found a Sharpie.
It looks really bad.
Oh no.
Like the.
Things are going great.
Wait, this is kind of iconic.
- Who knew taking a selfie could make you sweat this much?
I'm looking at the pictures now, and low key, we killed it.
- We did it.
We posted like Olivia Rodrigo on Instagram for a full week.
- And the week is over.
The picture that got the most likes, most comments,
most engagement in general was the first picture,
the plaid picture.
And I honestly think it's because it was such a shock
to my followers.
It was so out of anything I've ever posted,
and I think people were like, literally what is happening?
I will say though that myself
and honestly probably my followers
need a little bit of time
to get back to regularly scheduled programming
before I do this again.
- The fourth day, the glam look definitely got
the most amount of traction.
And also, I realized in doing this,
I do post kind of similarly to her.
I was like, wow, we really are like the same
with the way that we engage online.
Oh my goodness.
We did it, y'all.
Peace out.
