Riley Dashwood dresses up as celebrities ranging from Kim Kardashian to Emma Stone, and shares her interpretations on Instagram - where she has amassed more than 97,000 followers.
To transform herself into Beyonce when the singer announced she was pregnant in 2011, the nine-year-old donned a red dress and held an orange balloon in front of her.
For her Kim Kardashian recreation, Dashwood relied on tinfoil to fashion herself a dress resembling the celebrity’s 2016 Met Gala look.
Dashwood’s interpretation of Nicki Minaj wearing a green and white wig was created using lettuce, cauliflower and broccoli.
Each of Dashwood’s transformations takes about 15 to 45 minutes, according to the nine-year-old, who told Bored Panda that she works on the outfits with her mother and father each weekend.
“It's a family project we thought it would be funny to do together," the nine-year-old said.
In addition to tinfoil and vegetables, Dashwood also uses objects such as pasta, cheese graters, and trash bags to complete the looks - which each receive thousands of likes on Instagram.
For her version of a post by fitness influencer Julian Daigre, Dashwood used buns to recreate abs.
“I love these!” one person commented.
Another fan said: “Nailed it.”
