Pick up your phone, wear a mask, go around your neighbourhood and make a reel.
That perfect look
Those interested in fashion and movies are spending their time recreating looks from their famous movies. With dialogues of each character as the audio, many Instagram users are raiding the cupboards of their family members to recreate the look perfectly.
Get set, go
Travel restrictions are easing, and people are planning weekend getaways. The excitement of getting to go on vacations has led to a trend. With Dua Lipa’s song ‘Levitating’ as the background music, travel countdowns have begun. Starting from ‘3 days to ago’ to the minute they arrive at the destination, the trend is all about filming small clips each day and making a montage.
