If you've moved on from your quarantine baking phase and want to pause on that 1,000-piece puzzle you're working on, it may be time to try out one of the many fashion challenges going around on social media.
People on Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok have started using hashtags to encourage users to get creative with items around the house.
Celebrities are even jumping on the bandwagon, including Billy Porter, who was one of the first stars to challenge his fans.
In March, Porter asked fans to recreate his 2019 Met Gala look by The Blonds and share their photos using the hashtag #BillyPorterFashionChallenge. Other famous faces, like Halle Berry and Anne Hathaway, have participated in the popular pillow challenge.
Although it can be a struggle to participate in some of these, they still serve as a hilarious distraction to the reality of being stuck at home.
Simon Porte Jacquemus created the #JacquemusAtHome challenge in March
The designer behind the famous tiny handbags and popular mismatched heels started the #JacquemusAtHome trend after he reposted images of others creating his footwear with whatever items they could find at home.

I participated in the trendy pillow challenge and it was so much fun
