DIY The Look


Kim recreates the quirky gothic style of actress Helena Bonham Carter.

I love Helena's quirky style and she is often photographed wearing muted dull colours with a soft yet elegant gothic twist. Her dusky makeup style perfectly compliments her face giving her a doll-like appearance but also at the same time makes her look sultry. I thought Id have a bit of fun with this one and spice her style up a bit by adding some vibrant colour in places and adding an aggressive edge. Though…...I just wish my hair would look as cool as her’s when i misplace my hair brush lol




Bri from All That's Glittered recreates the chic style of Karlie Kloss for #DIYTheLook

Karlie Kloss is the epitome of effortless chic, she knows how to rock the runway and rock the streets with her own style. A simple graphic tee, light dresses, crop tops and gold jewelry are classic on Karlie. She often can be spotted in classic colors with a edgy flare. Karlie is a 21st century super model who embraces the stylish and healthy lifestyle and isn't going anywhere.




Leeyong from Style Wilderness recreates the colourful traditional style of Mexican painter, Frida Kahlo.

I love Frida Kahlo's use of colour, flowers and traditional clothing at a time when other people were turning to standard western fashion like jeans and T-shirts. She really recognised how traditional Mexican outfits suited her and they became her signature look.

I love her style as it revolves around the classic and modern interpretations of 50's fashion. she mainly wears fitted dresses, with the exception of a few party petticoats! her signature item is her quiff, which, when asked for styling tips, she simply says "Just use a tonne of hairspray.

After binge watching The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt one weekend, I have a soft spot for Kimmy’s indomitable optimism and joyous attitude! I love that her character resembles a ray of sunshine, with bright colors and playful accessories- she has inspired me welcome more bold colors in my wardrobe this spring.

Katherine Rose from Only Frills and Horses recreates the kawaii style of Kyary Pamyu Pamyu.

Kyary's style is always cute, fun and creative but she doesn't really go overboard with accessories, instead letting the clothes or a central accessory do the talking. She's also a big fan of 6% DOKIDOKI, so I've picked tutorials which remind me of them. She popularized aomoji kei and creepy cute styles, so that's the main focus here. She's often seen in a fluffy skirt, and this pom pom tutu skirt looks right up her street. Paired with the cute but not too OTT top, we've got the central idea for the outfit. Doc martin boots are comfortable and cute footwear, sprucing them up with some cute & unique studs is a fun idea! You could even paint the studs cute colors for some extra pop. Melting tights and eyeball bows give a creepy edge to the outfit. Add cute decora clips using interesting objects to add some extra pop, and this colorful bracelet is simple enough to be added without taking away from the other accessories. The pom pom gloves are an interesting addition too. I'd recommend making up all the projects in a color scheme of three or four pastel and/or bright shades to streamline them all. For hair and makeup, Kyary is almost always seen with straight cut bangs, accompanied with simple or fun and complicated styles, so that's really up to you. I'd recommend some simple bunches. Big exaggerated eyes complete the look!
