DIY Designer Dupe: Kathy Griffin’s $1498 Blouse for $5 + a Whole Lotta Z-List Energy

When Kathy Griffin struts onto the scene wearing a $1498 Brandon Maxwell floral blouse, what’s a thrifty fashion rebel on the Z-list supposed to do?

Refashion an even better version from a $5 vintage dress, of course.

I’ve adored Kathy’s fearless, unfiltered fabulousness for years so when I saw that glorious floral top pop up in one of her videos, I knew it needed the Refashionista treatment.

In my latest celeb copycat video, I:

  • Recreate Kathy Griffin’s designer blouse for just $5 + DIY

  • Show the full upsizing and refashion tutorial

  • Break down exactly how I transformed a thrifted vintage dress into a bold designer dupe

  • Style the final look with thrifted shoes and a heap of refashionista style

  • Feature 3 MORE celeb copycat outfits you can recreate for next to nothing

Oh yes, you get:
✅ Cyndi Lauper thrifted magic
✅ A Desperately Seeking Susan-era Madonna moment (plus Rosanna Arquette!)
✅ A Cardi B-style leopard fantasy… complete with DIY faux fur sunglasses

???? Refashionista Style Tip:

You don’t need a Hollywood stylist or a high-limit credit card to look like a million bucks.
What you do need?
A little imagination, a needle and thread, and the guts to wear what makes you feel unstoppable.
