The #PillowChallenge: Turning Bedding into Quarantine Couture

If you've scrolled through Instagram lately, you've likely spotted someone sporting a pillow as a dress. This viral trend, known as the #pillowchallenge, has taken over quarantine fashion.

The #PillowChallenge: Turning Bedding into Quarantine Couture

Anyone who browses Instagram even occasionally has likely encountered someone wearing a pillow as a dress. This is the latest viral trend: the #pillowchallenge. Conceived by fashion bloggers Stylebynelli and Myforteisfashion, it sends a clear message: staying home during quarantine doesn't mean abandoning style!

The fluffy pillow dress pairs surprisingly well with rugged Prada boots, giving off a military-inspired vibe.

You could easily land on the cover of a (fictional) glossy magazine.

The pillow dress is quite short; if modesty is a concern, you can layer it over cycling shorts.

It's even acceptable for walking the dog. (Though why not put pillows on the dogs too? 😉)

Obviously, this outfit isn't practical for leaving home. But for taking a stunning, sexy photo indoors? Why not? The results can be jaw-dropping, as demonstrated by this blogger:

Don't miss: Maye Musk's home transformed into a fashion catwalk — the 71-year-old model backs colleagues during quarantine.

This blogger is a parody genius, clearly not bored during self-isolation. Check out his Instagram: he and a friend hilariously parody Shakira and Beyoncé wearing dresses made from trash bags.

Where did the pillow dress idea originate? Sharp-eyed fashion enthusiasts will notice a parallel with Viktor & Rolf's autumn/winter 2018/2019 collection, which featured bed-like outfits. They predicted this trend, didn't they?

The coronavirus quarantine seems to be shouting: you don't need millions to recreate high-fashion looks at home! The recipe is simple:

  • Creativity
  • Pillow, sheets, or blanket
  • Belt
  • Camera
  • Mirror

The belt is indispensable — after all, you need something to secure that pillow to your body!

Don't miss: While people are quarantined, wild animals take to the streets.
