VIA: Some people just look at photos from the Met Gala, taking in all of the fabulous fashion. Others, like 21-year-old Emanuele Ferrari, choose to imitate them.

Ferrari, who lives near Milan, started imitating celebrities’ outfits using household items and posting them on his Instagram — he now has a following 134,000 strong. At this year’s Met Gala, Rihanna wore a colorful, voluminous look by Comme des Garçons with thigh-high, lace-up sandals by Dsquared2. For his own take, Ferrari told reporters that he used a red blanket as the base for the dress and then stuck newspaper all over it, finishing it off with a cereal carton. As for the sandals, he drew them straight onto his skin.
