A TikToker has received millions of views for a video in which she recreated actor Ana de Armas' dress from the Venice film festival using household items.
TikTok user @angelicahacks posted a video on September 11 in which she showed herself using pink garbage bags and packaging often used to wrap fruit to recreate de Armas' dress and accessories.
The end result is a similar shape and color to de Armas' pink halter-neck gown, which was custom-made for the premiere of the actor's new film "Blonde," according to Hello magazine. Louis Vuitton dresses can cost upwards of $10,000.
De Armas, who plays Marilyn Monroe in the movie, also wore a statement necklace from the brand Only Natural Diamonds, for which she is a global ambassador. The TikToker recreated the piece using the netting packaging from grocery store apples, a black ribbon, and a piece of garlic.
The video received 2.6 million views and over 132,000 likes. Several comments praised the TikToker for her creativity. Some commented stating that they thought the TikTok version of the dress looked "better" than the designer version, while others said her use of material made the dress look more "futuristic" and "original."
The creator, whose name is listed on TikTok as Angelica Hicks, has over 86,000 followers and often gains millions of views for her videos, in which she recreates iconic fashion looks by celebrities and designers using cheaper household items.
On August 30, she posted a video recreating Taylor Swift's Oscar De La Renta silver dress from the VMAs. The video received 1.7 million views.
A previous video recreating a black satin jumpsuit worn by Kim Kardashian using shoelaces and a cotton jumpsuit received 3.3 million views.
In honor of New York Fashion Week, which ran from September 9 to September 14, the creator used tape and toilet paper to make her own version of a Carolina Herrera dress from their 2015 collection. The video received over 7 million views.
According to Vogue, De Armas' dress was a callback to the iconic white gown worn by Monroe in 1954's "Seven Year Itch," in which her dress flies up while she stands on top of a subway grate.
De Armas posted a photo of herself wearing the dress on her Instagram account, captioning it with, "A night I will never forget. Thank you everyone for your beautiful energy and support. Love!"
De Armas attended the "Blonde" premiere along with Bobby Cannavale, who plays Monroe's second husband Joe DiMaggio; Adrien Brody, who plays Monroe's third husband Arthur Miller; and Julianne Nicholson, who plays Monroe's mother, Deadline reported. The movie is a fictionalized version of Monroe's life and rise to stardom based on the Joyce Carol Oates novel of the same name.
De Armas was previously best known for appearing as Paloma in the James Bond film "No Time To Die" and for her role as Marta Cabrera in Rian Johnson's "Knives Out."
