00:00I've been searching and searching about what I want to wear for this year's Grammy.
00:09No, you don't need glasses.
00:12These celebrities are tricking you with these out-of-these-world optical illusion outfits.
00:17Everyone from Cardi B to Chrissy Teigen and Solange have had us looking twice with their outfits that trick us into thinking they look a different way.
00:25We're not even mad about it because they've given us some serious fashion inspo for when we can go out again.
00:36Cardi B
00:37Cardi B recently stepped out in Los Angeles and made our jaws drop.
00:43Wearing a Pierre-Louis Overeux dress with a revealing silhouette printed on it, the hitmaker had us thinking that she was wearing nothing at all.
00:50The semi-sheer dress had a knit neckline and really interesting capped sleeves.
00:56The form-fitting, curve-hugging dress was the absolute ultimate optical illusion.
01:01This look caused people on the street to take a double-take.
01:04She paired the outfit with a red face mask and studded YSL heels.
01:08Just wow!
01:10This isn't the first time Cardi B has duped us with her outfit.
01:13In 2018, she wore sneakers that looked like they were made of two pairs of shoes.
01:16They were a variation of the D-squared two giant sandals, which were the real standout star at Milan Fashion Week that year.
01:24Cardi never disappoints with her outfits.
01:27Kim Kardashian
01:28Kim Kardashian's iconic 2019 Met Gala look had us all thinking she was soaking wet.
01:34The reality TV star wore a Terry Moogler dress that took a reported eight months to create.
01:40The latex and intricate beading had everyone watching the Met thinking it was raining.
01:45She was really committed to this look.
01:47Her hair also looked perfectly styled and perfectly wet.
01:51Kim told Vogue magazine that the designer envisioned her as a California girl stepping out of the ocean dripping wet.
01:57Well, he nailed it.
01:59This isn't the first time that Kim has tricked us with her outfit.
02:02Remember when we all thought she was wearing nothing at all in a vintage Jean-Paul Gaultier?
02:06The sheer dress had swirling optical illusion designs that had our eyes going all topsy-turny.
02:11Paired with a ponytail and gray sock boots, the reality star definitely turned heads in this look.
02:18Joey King
02:19Joey stepped out on the red carpet looking like an optical illusion straight out of an optical illusion book from childhood.
02:26Wearing an Iris Von Herpen dress at the 2020 Golden Globe Awards, the actress had us feeling under her spell.
02:32The hypnotic look was achieved with a swirling pattern that had us thinking the dress was moving on its own.
02:37Joey was nominated for Best Performance by an Actress for Hulu's The Act.
02:43Gigi Hadid
02:43The model is always on point when it comes to her outfits.
02:48Last year in New York City, she was spotted on set in a camisole that matched her skin tone.
02:53Paired with a white cropped jacket, sweatpants, and chunky sneakers, it looked like she was missing a belly button at first glance.
02:59Some people were even convinced that she didn't have a belly button.
03:02That is, until she moved and her camisole creased, putting an end to that mystery.
03:08Cara Delevingne
03:09Cara Delevingne rocked a multicolored dress by Iris Von Herpen with see-through shoulders, fringe wings, and wavy sleeves.
03:17At first glance, the graphic-heavy dress does look like it's moving, even when she's standing perfectly still.
03:23The model, actress, and singer attended the premiere for her Amazon series, Carnival Row, looking like a fairy, which was fitting since she plays a refugee fairy in the show.
03:33The dress looked like a fantasy, and we can only imagine that it was inspired by her character on the show.
03:38Letting the dress take center stage, she paired it with simple accessories and black strappy heels.
03:44Storm Reid
03:44Everyone was talking about Storm Reid's head-turning dress at the 2019 People's Choice Awards.
03:51She was wearing an Iris Von Herpen dress.
03:53If you haven't realized by now, the designer is known for over-the-top designs that push boundaries and make statements with dramatic optical illusions and fabrics.
04:02The dress had awesomely dramatic puffed sleeves and a pattern that had us feeling totally hypnotized.
04:08Solange
04:08Solange absolutely killed this outfit.
04:12The musician showed up to the Met Gala in 2018 in a shiny black dress by, you guessed it, the Queen of Illusions, Iris Von Herpen.
04:21The dress looked latex, fluid, and completely pushed boundaries.
04:25Paired with latex socks and a halo-like headpiece, the singer really did look out of this world.
04:30This dress accentuated and exaggerated Solange's amazing figure.
04:34And like many of Iris Von Herpen's creations, it looked like it was moving, even though the singer was standing completely still.
04:41So cool.
04:42Celine Dion
04:43Celine Dion wore a 3D-printed red and black sheer gown during Paris Fashion Week in 2019,
04:50and it had everyone thinking her dress had a life of its own.
04:54The dress's wavy optical illusion made it look like it was moving, giving the iconic singer a very futuristic look.
05:00The dress was made out of scrunchie material that almost looked like a slinky.
05:04The singer didn't wear any accessories with this outfit because, well, this is a dress that speaks for itself.
05:10Paired with her hot pink smoky eye, this whole look was an absolute head-turner at the fashion event.
05:16Zendaya
05:16Looking just like a fairytale princess, complete with her fairy godmother, Zendaya hit the Met Gala looking like the spitting image of Cinderella.
05:26Her light-up Tommy Hilfiger dress had everyone talking, and even lit up every time her stylist, aka fairy godmother, waved his wand.
05:34If you were watching at home, you might have thought you needed glasses or a new TV,
05:39because the dress really seemed like it kept changing color, but that was all part of the illusion.
05:43She showed up wearing a crystal-gray evening gown, but the more steps she took on the red carpet, the more blue the dress got.
05:51Zendaya really was channeling her favorite Disney princess, who had her own quick outfit change before her own ball, too.
05:58Addison Rae
05:58Everyone's favorite TikTok star, Addison Rae, wore a barely-there dress on her Instagram account.
06:05In her New Year's Day look, the starlet posed on a balcony looking over the city.
06:09The dress she wore stole the show. Its sheer panels gave a nude effect from a distance, and if you were scrolling quickly,
06:15you might have thought that she was wearing really thin black panels and not a dress at all.
06:20It was an optical illusion, though, because she was, in fact, fully clothed.
06:24It's not the first time Addison has worn an outfit that tricked us.
06:27She wore this multicolor dress last year that had us thinking she was wearing only body paint.
06:32She wore the beautiful, summery bodycon dress poolside, and it had us thinking she was channeling her inner artist.
06:40Billie Eilish
06:41Billie Eilish had the whole internet fighting over her sneakers last year.
06:46It was the dress all over again.
06:48Were her Nike Air up-tempo sneakers mint green and white or light pink and white?
06:53The debate started with the singer's dad claiming that the shoes were pink and white, when they are, in fact, mint and white.
06:59It seems like a lot of people agreed with the singer's dad because a heated debate went on for days.
07:04It was even a top-trending topic.
07:06This optical illusion really had people in their feelings, with one Twitter user writing,
07:11Every time I look at Billie Eilish's story, those shoes are a different color.
07:15What color did you see?
07:17Ruby Rose
07:18Optical illusions don't only take place when it comes to designer dresses.
07:23Celebrities also get creative with their hair.
07:25Ruby Rose is known for being super playful and edgy with her hair, so this look is no surprise.
07:31She posted a photo to Instagram that featured a new look, with the caption,
07:35Trippy hair for trippy times.
07:37Every time we look at the super fun do, we think we're looking through a kaleidoscope.
07:41Trippy indeed.
07:43Yara Shahidi
07:44So we've covered fashion and hair, and this next look puts it all together for an optical illusion to note.
07:50Yara Shahidi attended the Virtual Emmy Awards in a look that was meant for the red carpet.
07:55Her hair was braided into four cornrows, which looked like a beautiful pathway to a cloud of onyx feathers on her freeth.
08:02Everything was so seamless that at first glance, it looks like Yara has frayed, fabulous, and feathered hair.
08:08And we are totally here for it.
08:10Ezra Miller
08:11It wouldn't be a video about optical illusions if we didn't talk about this Ezra Miller look.
08:17If you think Photoshop is being used in this photo, think again.
08:20It's actually makeup.
08:22Ezra rocked this look at the 2019 Met Gala, a creation by makeup artist Mimi Choi.
08:28The actor had five optical illusion eyeballs that surrounded his real eyes.
08:32So if you were trying to determine what exactly he was looking at, it might have been difficult.
08:37Mimi is known for her hyper-real optical illusion makeup art, often inspired by hallucinations she's had during sleep paralysis.
08:43The Fantastic Beasts star wore a Burberry suit, rhinestone corset, and matching bejeweled wingtips to complement this out-of-this-world makeup look.
08:53Meghan Markle
08:53Was this an optical illusion?
08:56Meghan Markle was spotted greeting fans in what looked like a see-through skirt, but it turns out that her outfit was just tricking cameras.
09:03While on their royal tour in New Zealand, Meghan and Prince Harry met with fans.
09:07While shaking hands and taking photos, Meghan wore a stunning royal blue Givenchy skirt.
09:13While the skirt seemed slightly sheer in photos, it's unclear if it was actually an optical illusion.
09:18The Daily Mail reported that it's possible that the material and pleated design created the illusion that Meghan's legs were invisible.
09:25Stylist Lucas Armitage told the Daily Mail that certain fabrics with a heavy woven effect can strobe on camera, adding that he suspects this is what happened here.
09:34Christina Aguilera
09:35Christina Aguilera wore a dress by…guess who?
09:40Iris Van Herpen in her music video for Reflection that debuted last summer.
09:45The singer looked so stunning in the video, and at first glance, it looked like the musician might be swimming.
09:51The gown had a three-dimensional bodice with pleated material around her chest, going all the way down to her hips, where it feathered out into printed layers, reminding us of an ever-moving ocean.
