Iconic actor Billy Porter has created a new viral challenge to cure your self-isolation boredom as we come to the end of the second week of social distancing.

If you’re looking for a DIY project to try this weekend, it could be worth checking out the #BillyPorterFashionChallenge.

The challenge urges fans to recreate his incredible 2019 Met Gala outfit using only items from within their own homes.

In case you missed it, Porter rocked an iconic “Sun God” outfit designed by The Blonds, to the Camp-themed event last May. The outfit, complete with 10-foot wings, was inspired by Diana Ross in Mahogany and Elizabeth Taylor’s look-serving character in Cleopatra.

 “OK, y’all — it’s time for our first fashion challenge! Using items found ONLY in your house, give me your best recreation of my 2019 @themetgalaofficial lewk and post a photo or video on your Instagram (grid or story)! Be CREATIVE and have FUN! Get the whole family involved! Remember to tag me and use the hashtag #BillyPorterFashionChallenge. I’ll share my favourites! Can’t wait to see what y’all come up with, hennies! Met Gala Look by @theblondsny,” he said on Instagram, alongside a photo of the famous look.

Billy Porter has solidified his position as Hollywood’s king of fashion, and now he’s encouraging fans to flex their creative muscle amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic that has forced us all to socially distance.

You may not be able to hit up the club this weekend, but at least you won’t be bored with this challenge to keep you occupied all weekend.

Instagram users are already sharing their attempts at the iconic look, with results ranging from hilarious to impressive.
