Brian Sweeney’s DIY efforts did not go unnoticed on Saturday night.
The 21-year old from Dublin, Ireland paired his Versace shades and his custom pieces with Versace sunglasses.
He proudly wore a fishnet tank from ASOS that he had spent five hours meticulously shining and a pair Primark black jean shorts that he distressed, bleached, and painted himself.
Sweeney stated that his style is always changing. “I’m a chameleon,”He said. “I’ll be wearing something completely different tomorrow.”

Dooley didn’t hesitate to add accessories to her look, adding a rainbow flower crown as well as large, heart-shaped sunnies.
And although Dooley’s outfit and accessories were perfectly matched, she assured us that her style isn’t always as put together.
“My style is changeable,”She laughed. “Tomorrow I’ll be in a t-shirt and sweatpants picking litter on the beach, but today I’m in a corset.”
