- Hi, I'm Selorm.
- And I'm Lindsay and we're gonna recreate
an iconic Dua Lipa look.
- One of us has to do it on a budget
while the other one has money.
- Money.
- Money. - Money money money.
Money money money.
(upbeat music)
- Okay, could I just say, I (beep) love Dua Lipa.
When people ask me, "Who's your fashion icon?"
It's Dua Lipa.
She's the reason I cut my hair short.
- I noticed that.
- I think her just day to day street style
is just so good.
- She's really good at having those break up songs
that are super empowering and her outfits match that too.
- Yeah, and she's also, a lot of her exes
are my celeb crushes, so we have
the same taste in men, clearly.
- So the outfit that we have of Dua Lipa
is her in a pink sweater, walking down the street.
- [Lindsay] A little cute bag.
- [Selorm] Little green bag.
- So because I'm obsessed with Dua Lipa's fashion so much,
I know for a fact that everything
that she's wearing is designer.
- Oh God, I don't even wanna know
how much this outfit costs.
I don't wanna know. - I don't wanna know.
- I wanna know.
- I kinda do wanna know though.
- [Selorm] When we do recreate this,
we are going to have to find her sunglasses,
her shirt, her pants, her bag, and her shoes.
- Wow.
- That's a lot of stuff.
- That's a handful.
- Let's find out who's gonna do the cheap version
and who's gonna do the expensive version.
- I'm scared.
I'm gonna be tails and you're gonna be heads
and if it lands on our side then you get the expensive one.
- I love you, but I'm rooting for myself.
- Okay, well.
(girls humming)
- Oh geez.
We're making this dramatic.
- (laughs) I'm sorry!
I'm not sorry.
- May the best hunter win.
- I support, I know it's a challenge, but I support you.
- I support you too.
We're friends, we like each other.
- You have a cute dog.
- Oh, thanks, cool.
(upbeat music)
- Time to get shopping.
This is nice, I've never had to shop before
without a budget.
Okay, so we're gonna dive in and figure out
where each item of clothing is from.
All from the comfort of my own home, AKA this set.
- I'm looking for the sunglasses right now
and I will never pay more than $15 for sunglasses.
So right now I'm on my way to a flea market
and I'm going to nail this look.
- I mean, they just look like plain, basic black sunglasses,
but nothing's basic about Dua Lipa,
you know what I mean?
Ooh, there's a side photo.
Okay, if we do a little zooming.
Okay, so black Saint Laurent sunglasses.
Ooh, that's gonna be hard to find.
That's so broad, right?
- These ones are very close, they're rectangle,
but they're a little bit too blocky.
I think hers area little bit thinner around the frames.
- All right, so I found this website called the italist.
So basically they sell designer luxury clothing
straight from Italy.
I'm seeing brands like Prada, I'm seeing Jimmy Choo,
I'm seeing Gucci.
I think I'm gonna find some stuff,
maybe I'm gonna find everything on here.
Almost, I don't know.
- I thought these ones were close,
but they're a little too round.
These ones are, they're rectangle like Dua's,
so I mean, that's a win.
- I think I found them.
They have the same side, geometric shape.
Wow, so much money, wow.
All right, so we got the sunnies.
Easy peas, wonder how Selorm's doing.
- I'm leaving the flea market
and these are the sunglasses I got.
They're kind of like a mini version
of the ones that Dua Lipa wore.
They've got this little logo on them
which is probably not the same brand
that she used but whatever.
And they're $7, pretty darn good.
I'm happy with myself, check.
(upbeat music)
So I'm on this site, Poshmark, it's a site
where you can sell and buy used clothing
and I found a fuzzy crop sweater
that is about $12, marked down from $30.
It looks pretty darn similar to the Dua Lipa sweater,
so I'm gonna buy it and pray that it looks like
what it's supposed to look like.
- All right, so if I'm just like looking
at these paparazzi photos of Dua of this fabulous outfit.
GCDS, I see it, it is strictly the brand.
Also, where can I buy the abs?
Let's be real, those abs are part of this outfit.
- Oh my God.
This looks like a children's toy.
It looks all right.
- Ooh, fancy, ooh that bag is so cute.
Okay, anyway, just getting distracted, getting distracted.
- So with this shirt if I really wanna get it
to look more like the Dua Lipa shirt,
I'm going to make a little logo.
Like the GCDS logo on the Dua Lipa shirt.
But other than that, I mean,
I think it's as close as we're gonna find.
It's fuzzy, it's pink, what more do you want universe?
- Okay, so it's not on the website,
so that should have been easier but it's not.
I don't know, I feel like if Dua wears it
everyone's gonna be looking for it.
- I'm kind of going through right now
'cause I went to Michael's to try to get some jewels
that look like the little logo on the Dua Lipa shirt
and they have just an assortment of every frickin' jewel
on the box, so I am picking out the ones
that look like diamonds.
This is a great start for us.
- Okay, so this website called the italist has it.
Okay, oh my God, this price.
$445.90.
It's kind of funny how something that big
has cents involved.
Okay, so that locked in, baby.
Ka-ching, sweater, check.
So far, so good.
I don't know how Selorm's doing, but I'm doing great.
- Look at that plastic diamond swag, uh.
This shirt just, it looks cheaper than when I bought it
because these jewels are not the same jewels
as the ones in the shirt.
I think I'm just gonna wear the shirt without the logo.
I just, I think I'm making it look worse, so I'm just
gonna try to rock it and wash off the hot glue
that I've already put on it.
(upbeat music)
- All right, so Neiman Marcus
does have the bag, it's adorable.
The brand name is STALVEY.
I've actually never heard of that before.
But it's cute.
It is also $4800.
Wow, oh it says gift with purchase, cute.
Okay, also it's sold out, great.
But now I know what bag it is and the brand name
so let's try to find it somewhere else, okay.
- This challenge is kind of annoying me.
'Cause see, Lindsay knows that everything that she needs
to find is available, it exists.
- This store, also sold out.
Okay.
- Everything that I need to find, I don't know if it exists.
I don't know if I can find a cheap version
of a 5000 or whatever dollar bag.
- Who in America has $5000 to spend on a bag
and it's sold out everywhere?
That just means so many people are buying it.
Oh geez.
- I've been going to thrift stores all around town
and I can't quite find something that is the similar color.
- So I've made the executive decision to maybe not
get this bag 'cause I cannot find it in stock anywhere
and maybe get another designer bag that's similar.
- I went on boohoo, it's a cheap and trendy site
and it seems like there's a bag that's close to it,
so I'm gonna purchase it and then I'm gonna go to bed
because I have been at stores all day.
- I did find a Valentino bag, it's about $2000
so it's a little bit cheaper, saving some money.
Is this how rich people are like, wow,
that's such a good deal, $2000.
Ooh, okay, anyway, can't relate.
So this bag is actually really cute.
I actually like this bag a lot,
but it's still the same vibe.
It's still tiny, it's still cute.
So bag, checky check.
(upbeat music)
Ok, let's look for the jeans.
I can't tell from just looking at these jeans
what they are, I'm not seeing any brands on them.
It kind of has like an '80s vibe to these jeans.
They're mom jeans, they're high waisted,
they're a dark wash.
The way the pockets are feels very '80s
and very just like kind of Wrangler jeans, honestly.
So maybe I'm just gonna do my normal like
insert celebrity's name here, insert item of clothing here
and see what happens.
- I'm not gonna lie, this challenge has been
very hard for me.
There's stores in L.A. are a lot more expensive
than people know.
Right now I'm going to Buffalo Exchange, which is
a store that sells used clothing in Hollywood.
So I'm really just trying to find something
as close as I possibly can.
And I think I'll find it there.
Where are you mom jeans?
- So Dua Lipa mom jeans.
Wait, okay, wait wait wait wait.
Okay, I'm seeing here that she actually has a line
with Pepe Jeans London.
Okay wait, okay wait.
These are the jeans.
Okay, so these jeans are originally $120,
they are on saley-sale right now which is pretty cute,
but they are still a little pricey
for my normal jean budget, but we're going luxury here, man.
If Dua does it, so do I.
- I am having trouble finding these jeans.
Everywhere I go I'm having trouble finding these jeans.
I just wanna find something close.
And if it doesn't fit me, I will make it fit.
- We're gonna boop, ching ching.
Got the jeans in the bag.
Well, in the mail, they're gonna come in the mail.
- Okay, so these are the jeans and this is the price.
A little bit more than I was hoping, but you know what,
I think that these are very close to the Dua Lipa jeans
so I'm very happy with them.
And I think we can make this work.
(upbeat music)
- Okay, so my fave Instagram account,
which is Dua Lipa's closet, basically she said
that these shoes are Prada, Pra-duh.
Okay, that was bad, anyway.
So I'm gonna just look for consignment stores
in the area, L.A. has a ton of them, to see
if they have these boots.
I think that's just gonna be a lot easier
than just trying to find them online.
I don't know if they're gonna fit me,
I'm gonna try them on in real life
want some celebrity shopping experiences, okay gosh.
(upbeat music)
- Welcome to The Real Real.
So the Real Real is the world's largest
online marketplace for consigned and authenticated
luxury goods.
But obviously we're here in our store.
We have several brick and mortar locations
where you can shop, touch, see everything in person.
- Oh my goodness, I'm overwhelmed at all the beautiful,
beautiful pieces of clothing I'm seeing.
- So we have women's clothing, we have men's clothing,
we have jewelry, watches, everything,
and all the top brands.
Everything you're gonna find here.
- Wow, okay so I'm looking for a very specific designer boot
that Dua Lipa has worn.
- So this specific product, a combat boot
is a really hot style right now.
So it's gonna be hard to find anywhere,
but we did a little hunting, we found a really similar
version, it's actually a Prada Sport version.
- Wow.
- Yeah, take a moment. - Do we take a moment.
Smell, just kidding.
Okay, they're heavy, like they're--
- This is a real combat boot.
- Yeah, yeah.
All right, so how much do these originally cost
and how much do they cost now?
- We have them listed at 395.
I'm guessing they probably retail for closer to six to 700.
- Wow.
- But again, they're priced a little bit higher
because they're really in demand right now.
- I'm realizing I don't think I've ever
put on a designer shoe before.
Not that I can remember, anyway.
I definitely don't own any.
Oh my god, it's already so comfortable, what the heck.
This squish guys, the squish, wow.
- So I hope no one thinks this is cheating,
but the best way to save money
when you're trying to get a new outfit
is to look within your closet.
I stand by that.
And these shoes are pretty close.
They're a little bit high like Dua Lipa's,
they are kind of more of a Doc Marten's kind of style,
but I think they'll work so let's give them a go.
If you look closely, you can still see the eight, $8, check.
(upbeat music)
Okay, so I have all of the clothes that I need
to complete my Dua Lipa look.
Now I just have to do hair and makeup.
- Hi, I'm Olivia Marie, I'm a professional makeup artist
here in Los Angeles and today we are going to give
Lindsay a Dua Lipa makeover.
- If you look at this look, it's so simple.
It's literally Dua Lipa with regular-degular makeup on
and sunglasses.
Who needs the full face of makeup?
- [Olivia Marie] The look is very easy.
It's mostly just about skin, a little bit of contouring,
she has a little bit of a bronzer going on,
and a very bold eyebrow which is Dua Lipa's signature.
- So I'm just starting by putting foundation on.
Brush out my brows just to get them
a little bit more structured.
Dua Lipa is wearing kind of a nudish-matte color.
- [Olivia Marie] Plus the fun little like '90s,
early 2000s grunge bang.
- [Selorm] Put two strands of hair in the front,
and you know, I think we'll work this out.
- [Man] It just popped.
- Always bring a spare.
(dramatic music)
(upbeat music)
- [Both] Oh my gosh!
- You look so good!
- You look just like Dua Lipa!
- Yeah, you do too!
- How did you do that?
- You were having such a hard time,
but you did everything.
- Thank you, I tried really hard.
But you actually got the pants down exactly.
- [Lindsay] I have all the things.
Everything I'm wearing is very expensive
and it's making me a little bit uncomfortable.
But I feel so much like Dua Lipa that I'm so excited.
- [Selorm] I mean, this is cheap, but I actually feel
pretty darn comfortable.
- You look cute, that's all that matters.
Is do you feel cute and look cute?
Yes.
- Yes and yes.
- Correct.
Oh look who we have here.
- Well la te da.
- This was not planned.
- No, I just wore this. - where did you get this?
- I got it from Aritzia, they're having a sale.
- Hi! - Hi!
- Hi, wow.
- Ooh, pretty in pink today.
- Yeah, we are.
- You're in pink too.
- It's you know, the season of love.
- Yeah, I guess.
- Who do you think is wearing the most expensive outfit?
- Um.
- They're very similar.
- I think this, yours, is cheaper than this one.
- Why?
- 'Cause it feels not great.
- [Lindsay] Yeah.
- [Selorm] Well you're wrong.
- No she's not.
- I'll say Lindsay's is, the quality of her sweater
is a little higher quality.
- I will say this is the most expensive look.
- You're correct.
I'm wearing thousands and thousands of dollars.
- I feel bad for touching you.
- That's okay.
- So kids, moral of the story, if you wanna dress like Dua,
you can do it any way you want.
- Any way.
- You can Dua-it. - You can Dua-it, baby.
(women humming)
