- Beauty,

fashion

, grace. - It's the Try Guys who

recreate

iconic looks from the Met Gala. Each boy will be assigned a famous Met Gala dress that we must reimagine using only what we have available in our own homes. - Look at me, I'm a

fashion

ista. - Yes, do we like this? - It looks like your (bleep) has a tie. - My (bleep) has a tie. - We will then take pictures of the final designs and then reveal them to each other via video chat. - I hope we look as glamorous as the stars do walking down that beautiful red carpet. - Becky, can I count on your help? (upbeat music) - The Met Gala was delayed due to covid 19 and would normally take place this time of year.

Therefore, we are going to hold our own fashion show from the comfort and safety of quarantine. - Every year the Met Gala has a different theme, I don't know why, I don't understand what the Met Gala is. -What do I know about the Met Gala? Not much, I know it's the fashion event of the season. Whatever that means. - It's just sexy people dressing weird and then we're all at home going ooh, ah. One year they did a Vatican theme, one year it was a camp, what does that mean? - I want to provide some context about the Met Gala and what it represents because fashion can be an art form and this video is in the spirit of designers trying to create magic from nothing more than their imagination. - I don't know how we'll do it at home, I mean, this is my closet.

Well, that's Ariel's closet, this is my closet, but today I'm using both of them. - So, for this challenge I have assigned looks from the last two years'

gala

s based on what we had in our homes. Keith and Ned will

recreate

dresses from 2018 with the theme of celestial bodies, fashion and the Catholic imagination. And Zack and I have looks from last year's theme, which was camp, fashion notes. - They gave me Blake Lively. Blake Lively at the Met Gala 2018. It's so gold and red and sparkly and oh my god there's so much fabric. It seems difficult but it honestly seems like something that will take two days of my time and I'm looking for stuff like that right now so this seems good.

Is Blake Lively's Met Gala dress worth the 600 hours it took to make? Well, I was looking for a couple of days of hard work, not 600 hours. 600 hours? His back is beautiful, the doll has this silver and gold rope. Oh my god, this had two million dollars worth of jewelry in it. The spiked helmet, everyone talks about it being the best part, I think it's the most doable part. To me that's a bunch of sticks in a circle. I think so far I've proven in quarantine that I'm the smartest of the Try Guys, I think I can do this. - Okay, I have my computer up here.

He sent me some articles that I have to read. Rihanna Met Gala 2018 dress, yes Rihanna, get it. You don't need any Jesus, I am your religion, I am your God. And I love this one where she likes the actual design of a Pope. I'm going to have to ask Ariel to help me with a smoky eye. I don't know how I'm going to do that. Look at that hat, wow. Coordinated three-piece look, a sculptural jacket and skirt over a bustier dress. Bustier? Each piece has been made in an elaborate seafoam jacquard and is fully embellished with a series of pearls and costume jewellery, following the intricate original motif of the fabric seen in silver thread.

I love how people talk about fashion. - Today I'm recreating Kim Kardashian's iconic 2019 Met Gala look. I don't know how I'm going to do this. - It's so tight that I can't even imagine how this dress was put on, let alone how it was taken off. So she was dressed as a soaked version of herself. -Oh, those are the little beads, I thought they were like diamonds, she's supposed to be wet. Explanation of Kim Kardashian's controversial look at the 2019 Met Gala. What's so controversial about it? You know Kim is a very close and dear friend of mine, so I don't want to personally weigh in on the matter, so she'll leave it to you.

She has these stripes around her, drawing attention to her vagina. She has a tiger explosion like pattern. Wow, look at that ass, wow, that's crazy. Every time you forget, Kim K is here to remind you. What (bleeps) am I going to use to make this outfit? - I chose to try to recreate Zendaya's look at the Met Gala camp. At her presentation her stylist was actually her fairy godmother and with a wave of her wand her entire dress lit up and she was even so successful that she left one of her glass slippers on the table. red carpet, so it was really wonderful. performative moment.

I'm not sure if I'm going to do this because there's a lot of material involved. It's a color that I know I have sheets in, but it looks like there will be a lot of collecting on my part. But what I really love about it is the interpretation, the aspect of being able to carry out an idea through fashion. It's wonderfully special, but I'm excited, I think it's going to be a lot of fun, and I've always dreamed that we had to do more fashion-oriented Try Guys challenges, so this seems like a really ridiculous place to start. - Here at the Habersberger house Becky is always smashing those plates, she's just my little workaholic here.

We keep our crafts in this little, oh hell yeah. So for our wedding, Becky made all these little ribbon shaker bells and we had some sticks left over, and these are perfect. Ah yes, then our hot glue gun, a good tool to have on hand. But I don't need it yet. - Oh my. - I dropped my tape and my tape. Oh no. - I have nuns because I have them. I have a samurai helmet that I'll have to take off, yes. Oh, I have a blonde wig. Look, this is a whole box of heels. - I'm inside a recycling bin trying to get cardboard for my Rihanna Met Gala outfit.

Wine, alcohol, a lot of wine. Oops, there's water at the bottom, okay, I'll deal with the pizza box. - Okay, here's another box. - Hi Maggie, do you have any spanx I can borrow? - Yes Yes? - Yes. - Great, no reason, thanks. - It's time to talk about the history of fashion with Eugene. The Met Gala is primarily known to the general public for being a high-profile, celebrity-studded event, which it kind of is. The Met Gala isn't just a party, it's a fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute, and the Costume Institute helps highlight how fashion has shaped our world and our personal expression. - We have wrapping paper.

I don't know, but at least this is the right color, so I'll take this cardstock for now. What is this? Oh, matches, yes, yes, yes. - I'm thinking here since there is so much money, I can use aluminum foil. I can make cardboard for the hat. I also call them church hats. - Last box. - Now there are a lot of plastic garbage bags, normally we don't use them, but because of the whole situation we have them now. Batteries? The batteries are probably not that useful, the lights are not that useful, the thread is good. -Really, everything I Google, they really think she removed her ribs to make her look like that, but what really catches my attention is this pattern again, around the vagina.

It's like a nude suit but it gives the impression of shine, of humidity, of humidity and that's what I need to do, I need to be soaked so let's explore my house and see what we have. - So I certainly found a lot of cool things in my costume closet, but it's not the complete set. I'm going to go to my garage now to see if I have any lights that can help with lighting and maybe I can find some less conventional materials that can help complete this look. Look how big these lights are, see how big those bulbs are?

I just don't think I can put that into my outfit. Oh, I wish I had this stuff, you know? I wish I had meters of this. I've decided that one is the normal time for people to start drinking in quarantine. Then it's 4 p.m. and that means I'm late for my happy hour. - I don't see a lot of shiny silver here. Ariel actually prefers to wear black. Maybe this, this is a little funny, okay, I'll put it on hold. And this is, oh no, my painting. Kissy-kissy I'm here alone. - Each year's theme celebrates that year's museum fashion exhibition.

If you remember, in 2015 the theme was China Through the Looking Glass and that really sparked public interest in the exhibition and the Gala because who can forget Rihanna's yellow Guo Pei Gala? (beeps) Game changer. - So I think now I'm going to spend some time cutting out little circles from lots of different color options and another piece of junk that I found is we have all these bags left over from the spice challenge, so I have my brown, I have a nice purple. So I think most of those colors are represented and then for the other emeralds, I have these greens. - I have some hats and I'll take some socks to fill out my buttocks and tits.

I have a ton of nails and if I can figure out how to hang them, I think it would be a really good solution for dripping diamonds. Nails right? With that I feel very good. I don't know where to start. I'm not very good at arts and crafts, that's more of a Maggie thing. - So now that I've basically torn up my entire house gathering materials, I'm going to spend as much time as possible building the dress. I think my biggest challenge is finding a way to create the lighting effect and I hope it works. I'm going to change out of this suit because it's so hot and it's velvet and I was wearing it because I was hoping that Anna would maybe see this and think kindly of me, but she's certainly not seeing this, she'll never see Try Guy's. videos like that. - Okay, let's go ahead and start by opening these arms for me.

This reminds me of, you know, in college, doing anything but clothing parties. I don't know if I fit into this guy's, I realize now that I open this. Becky, can I count on your help? - Suck your breasts. - My breasts don't stink. - Suck them. Suck them. - Why do bishops wear these giant, silly heads? You're supposed to be a respected member of the clergy but you're wearing this ridiculous hat? - Yes, we liked this, I think I like this. Ariel, do we like it? - Oh it's good. -Oh, okay, she says. - Well, the first thing we're working on is figuring out the silhouette, so I put some socks rolled up around my waist and a pillow on my butt.

A little lumpy but we're getting somewhere. I think I'm going to have to take this off and tape everything I'm making to this and then put it back on and then wrap it in plastic wrap, isn't that how it's going to work? - So I clear space in my living room to make a workspace for my design studio. Let's go ahead and start, now I became a ghost again, why do I keep becoming a ghost? I'm dead? I'm dead? How is this happening? Look at me, I'm shining. Like Edward Cullen, am I a vampire? Am I a vampire, am I a sexy vampire? - I'll try it and I don't know if this will work.

I'm going to lay out a bunch of colors and try to put them in a line and then I'm going to take a roll of packing tape and try to press it down and see if it picks them up and then I'm going to go ahead and try to immediately put it in the bag? This is going to be a lot harder than I thought. - I'm making a dress. Can I break them? - No. - We have safety pins, so it won't hurt them. - No. - Can I record them? - I guess. - Do we have tape somewhere? - If we do? - Yes. - Are you sure I can't break one of them? - No. - So I don't have safety pins in my house, but I do have duct tape, so I'm going to try to tape a lot of this together, luckily the gray duct tape matches the color of Zendaya's dress and my sheets.

This is so fun. This is the most fun I've had in quarantine. - So I have my little workstation here and we're going to start gluing things together and then we'll see if we can get the base of the pattern. I'm a little worried that once I stick it on and then put it on my body, it will beep (beep), but you know, here we go. I remember how fun it was to have hot glue on your fingers and then have spider webs all over you. You

guys

are weird as kids, you know what I'm talking about. - Becky will help me now, let's try to fix this.

I'm on my way to being beautiful like Lively's 2018 Met Gala look. - I feel like I'm already sweating, I don't even have a shirt on and I'm sweating. Then let's become her. - Well. - My face, on this face. - Cool. - This is what we do when we're trapped inside. Stay safe and looking cute. Go, go holy, heavenly, sing choirs of angels. I look like a whole communion. - Then I have an idea. I'm actually going to tape the lace to the dress first and then attach the light bulbs. Oh. Perfect, it's a Christmas tree. - Look at me, boom, I added some silver tape as the buttons and then gave myself a little streak to add that wet feeling.

I think this is a decent base. I'm going to try putting this on and I think so, I'll see what happens. Wow, look at that, oh, this is going really well so far. I didn't realize this was so low, I thought this was my boob, but this is the boob. I guess I thought it was a man's neckline. - I don't like how black the light wire is and I really want to make sure it is hidden somehow. I'm going to see maybe if I can turn this into more of a garbage bag Cinderella. - I'm changing myFocus for now, I'm working on the hair, the crown.

I think it will be a very important piece to nail, so for now I will start cutting all the rods into different lengths and figure out how I can make them all fit together. I have hot glue and a dream. - Good day. It's time to finish my second day dress, look at this, oh yeah. The vagina pattern is perfect, so I made it. I got a little weird with him. I made it my own, put my own touch on it and added some boobs here since I don't have any, I think it will look really nice.

Are you ready for this? Come on. - I have a strange idea to keep the plastic and maybe the corset has corporate bubble wrap. This is the most I ever felt like Clara from Bon Appetite. I don't care about jokes, I just care about creating something I'm proud of. - Okay, we're almost ready, time for the final piece. Here we go, let's go for it, let's go for it baby. You. - I don't want to cut you. - That's ok. Ariel Fulmer, makeup artist, costume design, focused on the craft. Pinch slip. - Pinch slip. - Here we have glued this empty can to be her bun because I don't have enough hair to be a bun.

I made some shortcuts. I didn't want to record much more and I just don't have much time. But you more or less see it, right? - So I'm just trying to put the corset on. For some reason it's too tight with all the tape and bubble wrap, the scattering of bubble wrap on the back wouldn't let me close it. Reboot, redesign all of this. When did you miss that? And all this was inflated. (bleep) - Okay, so I'm beautiful, I'm perfect but I'm not shiny, I'm not wet looking so boom, plastic wrap. I think my plan is to just wrap my torso and then see what happens.

My hope is that the plastic doesn't obscure the intricate designs I've worked so hard on. From so far away it seems like I'm just beige and that I've wasted all this time. Improve the contrast in this color correction and really make this design stand out. - So I finished what I could with the corset going in the second direction. I think this is all I can do for now and then I need to move on to the puff sleeves and I'm thinking I'm going to use these pillowcases and then fill them, and then I also need to put lights on.

They too because they also have to illuminate. (dramatic music) - Hey. - Are you all excited to attend the Try Guys Met Gala? - Yes dear. - I was born ready. - Fashion. - Well

guys

, as you know, I tried to recreate Blake Lively's Met Gala 2018 look, let me show you the original photo I was recreating of the beautiful Blake Lively. Let's be her. - Oh. - Wow. - That's a look. - I'll show you now in my living room, for my own Met Gala, just, this is Keith Lively. (Tries, guys, gasping) - Dude, you killed him. - Look how far the head turns in this situation.

Like I was trying to get my head as perfectly perpendicular as hers, impossible. Now the head piece, I mean, look at this. - Check it out. - This is. - That's Renaissance beauty. - And you can see the back, the back that I'm very proud of in terms of like the colors and the three big gems that are on the back. And there are a few places where I used some silver markers to thread some beads that I couldn't do. And now here's just a sexy picture of me being sexy and looking good. - Yes Yes. - Very respectful. - Feel it. - You make me want to say girl XOXO Gala. - Oh my God.

Do you think if I submit this look, I'll be invited to see the real look one day? - Absolutely. - Absolutely. - Very good Ned, I would love to tell you, I know you had a very difficult game, tell us. - I recreated Bad Girl Riri's 2018 Met Gala look, where Rihanna dressed like a real Pope. This, to refresh your memory, is Rihanna. - Wow, that suit. - This is my bread, my body, and I give it to you now. (panting) - Whoa, wait! - That is incredible. - Is very good. - Wow, Ned. - The coat is actually an emergency space blanket, you know? - Oh, that's so clever. - Important question, do you have a red carpet? - No, that is a yoga mat sir.

A yoga mat. - Very funny. - What look would not be complete without wearing it to a

gala

. (laughs) - Yes, yes. - He got over it. - That's so funny. - And you can see that Ariel is this guy in the background. Who has many characteristics? -Rihanna is practically accepted as the queen of the Met Gala, so I think she would be proud. - Prepare your umbrellas guys, because I'm about to rain on you. - Ned, you are a normal and ordinary desperate person. - Did it make you feel more or less Catholic while wearing it? -You know that he started out more than he became much less. (laughs) - Let's move from Vatican City to Calabasas with Zach. - I recreated Kim Kardashian's iconic camp look from the 20-something Met Gala.

Here is Kim's look, I gave you two views. Well, here I am. - Oh. (laughs) - Yes. - Yes. - It's very good. It is fun. - I made some boobs, I should have filled them out but you know, you do what you can, and then for the water drops I pierced the fabric with nails, so I only have a bunch of nails left hanging from my body. - Yes, I love that you used your nails. I think it's very, very clever. - Thank you. - Really cool. - Tense. - Yes, he is very nervous. - I think your butt is a little less shaped than hers. - It's a little lumpy. - You know, a little strange. - A little lumpy, but of course it was good enough to get me a mat invite. - Oh yeah. - It makes me feel like, I don't know, you're more dangerous than her. - I put a little stink in Kim's eyes, you know, I wanted to hurt him. - I mean you may not be wet, but we sure are. (laughs) - We sure are, your arms are hilarious.

Your little saran arms are just, they look like when you're in elementary school and one of the kids has really long blonde hair on his arms. He reminds me of that. - Well, you really made us keep up with the Kornfeldians, bravo. Get ready because of course I chose Zendaya, get the puns out of her now. -Michi. - From the movie Bigfoot? - And let me first show you what it looks like when it's not lit. - Let me see it, yes, let's see it, yes wow. -And then when she turns on, she looks like this. (panting) - Great.

And Zendaya is Eugene. - That is incredible. - Yes. - And yes, those are all little white garbage bags that I put around the skirt. Because his dress has glitter, it has a transparent exterior, so she didn't want the exterior to be sheets. So this is what my dress looked like when I became a princess. - Turn us against Eugene. (laughs) - Yeah. - I really love your bulging shoulders, I think, I guess they're pillowcases? - Those are pillowcases. -If we were in college anything other than a clothing party, you would have just walked into the room and everyone would have handed you their cups to the keg. - Thank you.

Was I Michi? - Oh Lord. - Friend, you are Michi. -Michi. - You're Michi. - Honestly, you could have even leveled up Lebron James' Gwamgi. - Oh no, I don't think it could be Gwangi. - Guys, I think this year we will receive an invitation. - They invite us. - Welcome to the Try Gala. - Yes. - Who are you wearing? I brought Christmas lights and a pillowcase. - I wear sturdy clothing. Foil. -I'm carrying an Albertson's, a plastic bag, and some towels from Target covered in trash that have been sent to my house over the past few months. - And I carry a hot glue gun burning my fingers.

So if you want to try to recreate some Met Gala looks or maybe you can recreate some Try Guys looks from old videos, use the things you have around your house and then send us a little text or maybe tweet us. whatever, we want to see them. - Hashtag trygala - Oh shit. - Trygala. (upbeat music) - You look like you could be in a drag show. - Oh, are you calling us cheap drag queens? - Yes, thanks. - Yeah.
