The Met Gala dresses may have taken years, from concept to construction, to come to fruition, but that doesn't mean you can't find a cheaper version right in your kitchen trash.

Paulo creatively spared no detail, making sure to craft every cut-out and every bleached strand of hair to pair with his home-made masterpieces.
