Kim Kardashian
Any outfit that keeps us from watching this family is better than anything else
Load More Replies...I always envision aliens looking down at the met gala ( red carpet event), with some beer and popcorn being completely entertained by the people attending, knowing that we are not yet ready for their arrival 👽.
According to entertainment, pop culture, and lifestyle expert Mike, from Los Angeles, unusually designed outfits can end up getting their wearers a lot of attention.
"Wearing an outlandish or extremely fashion-forward outfit to a major event garners immediate attention and media coverage, which is exactly what most celebrities want," he told Bored Panda.
"It will basically guarantee press coverage, while other celebrities are being ignored. It’s all about standing out in a sea of celebrities." In other words, the stranger the look, the bigger the contrast compared to the rest of the crowd.
50 Cent
The noodles are definitely better than hair. A nice snack if you are hungry. :)
Jared Leto
He thinks he's such an artist when in fact he's simply a douche bag
I love how instead of the copy of his head, he used a chicken.
....I did not need this mental image. Were's the brain bleach?!
Load More Replies...Bored Panda was interested to get Mike's take on how much celebrities influence their fans and the wider public with how they dress, what they eat, and what they buy.
Here's what he had to say: "Celebrity choices with fashion, food, and things they buy have been influencing our choices really since the beginning of Hollywood. Because celebrities have always been in the public eye, we naturally look up to them as trendsetters," the celebrity expert said.
Cardi B
No no no no, Cardi B looks like she's been for a wee and forgot to do her flies up
Ugh, she looks so terrible; it looks like her pants might fall off; I'm disgusted.
Tiannah Styling
This got a queen sent home on drag race!! I say same for this time saschay away
God, I love weird, terrible haute couture fashion. I know everybody likes to make fun of it, but it's so insane, how can you not just love it?
It is like a trick-or-treat empty bag, lol. Great! How can anyone wear a dress full of bags? I bet that it does make a lot of noise like plastic bags with terrible sounds!!! Pretty annoying, LOL.
Nana Akua Addo Norman
Nana appears as if afraid to take a deep breath. But her dress is magnificent. The recreation is inspirational.
Yes, I agree. The original dress is stunning.
Load More Replies...Oh I loved that part. Did you know it was the visual of a poem "Der Zauberlehrling" by Goethe?
Load More Replies..."The inclination seems to be, if that dress makes them look good, maybe it will work for me. Or, if they’re eating that, and look that good, maybe I’ll try it too. Even a certain hairstyle will be eagerly copied, and not just for women. Think of all the men that asked for a haircut like David Beckham’s!" he explained the thought process behind everything.
Finally, Mike revealed to Bored Panda his personal list of stars with "the best fashion sense." His list of style-savvy celebs includes: Kristen Stewart, Billy Porter, Zendaya, Timothee Chalamet, Rihanna, Lil Nas X, Tom Holland, and Jennifer Lopez.
Toyin Abraham Ajeyemi
I genuinely cannot tell which one is supposed to be the original one? I hate both outfits equally, but feel the right one looks a bit better.
Beyoncé
Match it with that Lady Gaga’s meat dress and we have a wondrous pop sandwich! Too bad she’s busy-y-y
Load More Replies...Soon boo.bs implants will morph into cheek implants if they continue puting boo.bs higher
It's...it's...yes, it's bread! Laughing to the point of tears. And you can make sandwiches after the event!

A rake is way more practical. How do you even use a trident? What is it even used for apart from wielding magical powers by merpeople and stabbing shi.t?
The original is so cool though, I love it! And I laughed so much at that rake, the guy has a great sense of humour.
Funny Toheeb's dress looks much prettier and more elegant than the original! And the rake tops it all!
Funny Toheeb, also known as Korey Toheeb and Toheeb Adedokun Akorede, lives in Nigeria and got on many people’s radars after being featured on BBC Africa’s ‘One Minute’ video story.
Now, he has a whopping 635k followers on Instagram and another 47.2k fans on TikTok. The loyal fanbase he’s created is all due to his hard work, courage, and creativity.
After all, not everyone has the guts to wear a super weird celeb outfit, whether it’s low-cost or costs as much as renting a small apartment. (And with current prices in some parts of the world, that’s not an exaggeration when it comes to cost.)
Recreating outfits on a budget means that you have to find creative solutions to clothing challenges using random items, including what you might accidentally stumble upon at home.
Beverly Naya
When your earrings double as breakfast and a fashion accessory.
He can just take bites whenever he wants! It's perfect!

let's be honest though, iPhone chargers are probably more expensive than pearls
You never know when you need the extension cord to recharge the cellphone
Funny Toheeb has used pretty much everything, from plastic bottles to noodles and far (far!) more, to make himself look like well-known stars like 50 Cent, Kim Kardashian, Jared Leto, Cardi B, and others.
It seems like the entertainer will have inspiration as long as celebs continue to wear, errr how can we phrase this politely, questionable outfits. Sure, some of these looks might be fashion-forward, but some are so outside the box, they make the stars look a tad ridiculous.
However, at the same time, it really comes down to one’s self-esteem, whether someone can pull a look off. If you put your confidence ‘on’ first, there’s pretty much nothing you can’t make work. With enough mojo, even a plastic bag can look fa-bu-lous.
Funny Toheeb told the BBC that recreating celebrity looks is difficult. “Sometimes when I don't know what to do with the picture, I listen to music, then go through the picture [again] and I will kill it [the look],” he said.
Regina Daniels
The bra here needs some work. Also, he kinda cheated by just borrowing her original headpiece.
I was annoyed for the first half, than forgave you

His is better. But his mum's going to be really cross about her laundry basket
When u know the time and $$ that goes into these crazy clothes and pix it is sad and laughable
Tiwa Savage
“People laugh and that is just our main focus, bringing people out of depression,” the entertainer stressed that the core focus of what he does is to make people’s day a bit better and to bring a smile to their faces. And that’s a mission that we can get behind.
Despite how some of the costumes look, they aren’t put together in just a couple of minutes. They take time and effort to plan out. “It's not a day's job, some pictures we spend weeks [recreating them]. Sometimes we work at night. Sometimes the material will be around, like what we did with the plastic bottles, you just have to look around for it,” he told the BBC.
Kanye West
There appears to be some guy smashing his head into Kanye's arm. And they're both in a giant baby playpen. How interesting.
Load More Replies...Remember that episode of the X files and that guy came from Africa and he was like immortal but he was really pale and shot people with a dart to suck their life. He looks like that

I think thr recreation was better. Look the dress has no dents

That's more a cultural dress verses then others which are just crazy for the sake of being crazy.
I was just thinking that this was the best original outfit so far, actually beautiful, would be great at a big Hollywood event. But I gotta say, the CDs on the recreation are pretty hilarious.
Load More Replies...frankly I like the first one better but they are both good
"I wasn't born with a silver spoon. I actually want to be the person that will change my family's story, that is why I keep working. 'Just keep doing and keep thinking outside of the box,' that's what my mum used to tell me. I tell her I will be a big celebrity one day, she doesn't believe me," Funny Toheeb said back in 2019.

Kim Kardashian
Who wore it best? How is Kardashian not laughing her asss off?
The fact that designing clothes is far harder than it looks might be news to some people. Recently, Bored Panda spoke to Nigerian fashion designer Oyinda Akinfenwa, the creator of the Janore brand, who shared part of her work process.
“When it comes to my process, it varies depending on the design and my state of mind at the point. It could be fast like just envisioning a style and sometimes it’s quite slow which may involve drawing various patterns to make sure I get the right fit and styling necessary for each design,” she explained to us how designing requires a ton of effort.
Kim Kardashian
And the funny thing is that this is probably one of the most normal she has worn

“I wish people understood that it is not easy to actually create designs out of an idea, there’s a lot of creative process that goes into it and it will be nice if people were a bit more understanding of designers and also understanding the story behind their art,” Oyinda said.
Laycon
Davido
At least this guy had a smile. The rest of these people look like they all have gastrointestinal problems.
Rebecca Nengi Hampson
I actually think the one on the left is really pretty. It almost looks historic, but from an alternate timeline. Or something you'd see in a movie when they land on an alien planet
“I have to make sure that all the styling options I offer look just as good as the next one and also ensure that it fits into the category of outfit that I’m going for. Also to make sure that it can not only be styled differently but also styled to fit different occasions thereby creating ease as well as comfort for whoever is wearing it,” the designer told Bored Panda.

Actually a tortoise shell offers significantly more protection
Depends on how many coins you carry in your sporran.
Load More Replies...If that's real tortoise shell I think it's actually illegal to own at this point.
🤔 sometimes pets die. I'd be heartbroken if our tortoise would die, we've had him for more than 40 years already. I don't know, if I could throw his shell away. But you are right. And if we lift ours he would def pop his head out to look what's going on 🤣
Load More Replies...The kilt is actually the most normal clothing shown. The wearer not being a Scot or at some Scottish activity makes it stand out, but it is the least worthy of Toheeb's satire. Not funny.
Meanwhile, Mary Waldron, the founder of the popular ‘You can’t just slap some fabric together and call it a dress’ Facebook group, told Bored Panda how to be diplomatic if you spot a friend wearing something that doesn’t suit them. It’s all about how you phrase things.
“I think the important thing when sharing opinions on another person’s outfits is tact, it comes across as rude if you simply say, ‘Your dress is ugly’ and the other person may not be as willing to listen to you, but if you were to say, ‘I don’t think that dress is very flattering for your figure, try this other dress.’ It sounds less critical and gives you the chance to give them a better option,” she said.
It's unlikely that we'll ever get the chance to tell Kim Kardashian that what she's wearing might not be the best choice for her, but it's something to keep in mind if we want to help our friends who are having a tough time being stylish.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but this seems less of a random freaky dress and more of a traditional outfit.
Ancient Egypt headdress, see that cobra. Something Nefertiti would have worn. This actress is nigerian so no, it's not a traditional outfit.

Doing vitiligo patches is not ok. It's like if they did white-face for Jared Leto or a white person did black-face.
Absolutely, its a clinical condition related to skin coloration, shouldn't be criticized.

I recognise 3 people here: beyoncr, kim and kanye. Who are all there people?!
Ok I was thinking the same thing. I think we're officially old or not hip.
Load More Replies...Every one od the outfits are literally copied using trash bags. And you can barely notice any difference...
I love how they have bin bags, spoons, noodles or strange footwear 🤣
Please make more of the law. This was the best photo comparison ever.
