Recreating Jared Leto's Met Gala Look

jared leto actor cult leader professional Jesus wanna be the one person who hadn't heard of the corona virus he's widely believed that he once played the Joker but this is a myth I don't know who he was playing in this role but it wasn't really the Joker moral of the story this guy's eccentric even by my standards and there isn't much about him I wish to emulate but this look this moment harkened is something deep within me and when the call went out for us humble civilians to recreate our favourite Met Gala looks because the Met Gala was canceled because of that pandemic Jared Leto had never heard about this was undoubtedly and indubitably my first choice actually this was but I couldn't find orange feathers step one of making a girlier version of this look was me looking down at my iPad and making a sketch a Hawaii that's not me that's a sneak peek of what's to come I did actually make a sketch on my iPad though and then posted this final image to Bozell - please be quiet honey I posted this to Instagram where I was met with a flurry of desperate diems beseeching me to add sleeves and make the dress Fleur Lee and because I am impressionable to the will of the masses I'm sorry for that like thumping sound my Velociraptor is eating then after buying all the necessary supplies I tried to get my dad and friend to guess what I was making here's the game I'm gonna show you the items I'm gonna see if you can guess what I'm making we're doing pictionary Josh and I and he couldn't guess the third one see if you can guess who these people are leave the in the comments below and let's get to the face step one you're going to need your sewing machine you want to place it in front of you like so have a clear space for this so-called tutorial you will need some red satin a variety of sparkly things aster strips a back of plaster and of course moral support you're gonna want to cover up your hair you really should use saran wrap for this I don't have saran wrap some duct tape you don't want quite this thickness of tape goes right down the middle got a little bit on my hair that's okay it's okay if they get pulled out because according to Renaissance trends of beauty it's actually you would tweeze that so we'll just have to wear renaissance clothes for a while after this look now you're gonna want to smother your face in some petroleum jelly I remember when I was in like probably eighth grade this is what my skin looked like all the time like once after I got out of the pool okay well now that I feel thoroughly dewy heck I feel Huey and Louie too I'm going to click plaster strips all over my face I don't want to use all of these up because I would love to give my brother a head form of himself that seems like something he would want for his birthday gonna be hard to pull off like surprise him with that okay last call anybody else want a plaster cast of themselves gosh why don't you want a plaster cast made yourself during the process doesn't sound fun after I just have a thing that I would I get rid of step one we've got a bunch of that big strip into a bunch of tiny strips take these strips dip them in the warm water all right while I do this we're gonna explain something the other day on my Instagram story my dad was driving and I got oh my gosh she wouldn't believe how many dams I got about how long my dad's arms were here's the thing they are I can't talk much more otherwise I've explained hi I'm a Karis twin name voiceover lady here to explain to you that while my dad's arm is indeed very long one of them has lately appeared even longer due to the fact that a spider burrowed under his skin and laid a bunch of eggs but everything's better now the eggs hatched they all crawled out just kidding it was simply a buildup of elbow oil and my sister niece and I drained it if you want to see a video of that let me know once your face is approximately 75% mummified you're going to want to put straws up your nostrils this will be necessary if you are of the variety of creatures which breathe though I would admonish you to exercise extreme caution because a similar method was actually used by the Egyptians to drain the brains out of their mummies don't put them too high up cutting the straws shorter will prevent your arm from banging against them and take it for me it's not comfortable [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] after removing your face take some plaster strips and cover the eyes and nose holes then before filling it with plaster make sure you hold the cast in front of a camera for a fun optical illusion is this the inverted or expert in expert extrovert X school huh now spray the inside of your face with cooking oil fun fact when I drank my dad's elbow the stuff that came out looked just like vegetable oil now it's time to make some plaster putting to pour into our face mold or that rich creamy batter into your face bowl and then bake at whatever temperature your house usually is for about 24 hours now peel the mold off of the cast if the skin isn't as earth-shatteringly perfect as your own exfoliate with some sandpaper then use a sharp object to carve out and contour your face and please don't do what I just said in any other context I don't think I did a very good job carving out the eyes but I did enjoy it I think it would be super entertaining to see the outcome if a legitimately talented artist carved their own head like joanne acedia everybody go tell her to make her own head what's that you're wondering why I'm saying the word head when really it's just a face well we are going to stick it on to this guy I could have made the whole head out of plaster but that would have been heck a heavy and I ain't no Dwayne the rock Johnson so I just made a face out of plaster then cocked it to a Styrofoam head now we're going to use clay to blend to the face to the head so that it looks a little bit more like me and a little bit less like a promo poster for the 2015 blockbuster ex machina [Music] everything went miraculously smoothly until the clay dried and suddenly it started chipping off which would be perfect if I were playing Medusa but I'm not I'm going to be mckerrod Leto so we had to find a different approach in lieu of clay as a blending agent I just mixed up more plaster and use that and it worked sort of perfectly and I don't know why I didn't use that in the first place now it's time to start draping our dress the problem is that a couple weeks ago I started draping this little number I never did anything about it and I've got to remove it in order to drape this so basically just lock this in your brain and appreciate it for what it is because nothing's ever going to become of it to drape the front of this dreamy dress you're going to want to cut out two rectangles as long as the width between your shoulder and your foot pin each one to the top middle of each shoulder now begin folding and pleating each panel copy those same pleats at the waistline to cinch it in but leave the chest a little bit more open and flowy so across the top of all of the pleats at the top of each panel and then sew down about a KitKat's length along the side of each pleat at the waist around this time you'll start to feel that time has lost all meaning so why not waste some you'll begin harvesting decorations from your Christmas tree which yes is still up and you'll put too much effort into taking your dress in the wrong direction knowing you'll have to dismantle it anyways because hey it was fun is it that even when wasting time takes more effort than actually doing what I'm supposed to do I still waste time because you are at the textbook definition of a procrastinator who all the extra flesh pull off pull the extra fabric flesh against your dress form and then draw the armholes then slice off any excess fabric if you'd really like to surprise your brother by giving him a bust of his own face I recommend just telling him that you discovered a new facial that will completely eliminate his pores forever which I just thought of unfortunately no I got him to sit just because I told him I was gonna give him a bust of his head he found the experience deeply relaxing as did this baby chicken the construction of the back of our gown will be very similar to that of our front except we will be using one panel instead of two begin by pinning down each end in the middle then pleating all the landmass in between draw a little cave door for your arms to poke through on each side then remove the garment and cut those holes out now lay your back panel down on the ground then lay the two front panels right on top of it right sides together now pin them together along the top then sell them together along the top and side time to make the arm blankets or sleeves cut out a normal sleeve shape but exaggerate the size especially of the length of the shoulder now make several pleats down the entire length of your sleeve now let your sewing machine go on a little jog all along the edge of each of those sleeves now adhere them to your dress by method of sewing then if the sewing machine gets too loud and your dad's talking on the phone with his best friend take a little break now back to our head so that no one will be able to see my head I feel like the West world theme song should be playing right now and to show what they say about sprite hands covering imperfections maybe not we're just gonna have to fix the rest with makeup to make the skintone match yours just slather it in whatever foundation you usually use on yourself a hot tip I found that the creepy realism really set in whenever I started using highlighter so don't skimp out on that I've always been tempted to use this as eyeliner [Music] I didn't really look I just woke up but I come downstairs today and my dad I don't know I don't know what the goal was but now now it's time to turn Baldy locks into Goldilocks I guess I didn't mean to pull the mask down the wink mmm I feel like a kid in a candy store oh yeah funny story when I told the lady working in the back that I wanted to buy this wig she took my head and started to go to the back room with it and I said oh can I please keep that head and she said no you don't keep head you only keep wig and I said please that's my head and it took a while to make her understand I had to show her that head compared to my face for her to get it but everything worked out and I didn't lose my head what do you think of my head there was a sale so I also got this way now before I could return to the nonsense of being productive I Freidrich my week away with drifting hoverboarding and kayaking in the back of a pickup truck and on the water not to make the wig look more like me I had to darken the root so I used this colored hairspray oh crap dang I need to stop I thought I was all set to finish the dress tonight um and just do a grand reveal tomorrow but I realized I have a hairline fracture the hairline has a fracture and I gotta figure out home and fix that before I can move forward now what I did about that was just not fix it and that seemed to work out very well timewise anyway upon trying on this glorified graduation gown I realized the sleeves hung a bit too limply for my taste so I stuffed them with some tulle around this time I began to ponder how am I going to make this dress fitted without adding closures well I'm going to leave it very baggy in the back but fastened two giant ribbon like pieces to each side so that I can simply tie it in the back and finally I sewed the two front panels close not all along the front but just from about the mid thigh up to where I wanted the neckline to hit then I slapped that dress on my dress form tied it in the back and set to the task of splattering my gown with a grotesque amount of sparkle I used an array of thrifted to slash old family brooches that I found laying around as well as some store-bought trim that I draped pinned and then hot glued in place to make the belt make sure you get a wide rhinestone trim and then cut towards the middle cut a bunch of strips so that they just hang in the middle do not cut them all the way off I left a couple of them dangling but with the others I curved them up in sort of a smile shape you know so my hips would be smiling at everyone [Music] from now on I'll be keeping myself company I'd say this is totally fixable but I don't want to get ahead of myself too late [Music]
