Comedian Benito Skinner (aka Benny Drama) might be known for his spot-on impression of your favorite pop-punk girlfriend, Kourtney Kardashian, and his character “Kooper the Gen Z intern,” but we’re drooling over his vintage wardrobe—including a completely reworked ’80s wedding dress. Yes, really.
From a Prada turtleneck that has main-character energy to a pink suit that would make Elle Woods jealous, Skinner is living up to his comedic alter ego by bringing the drama this fall.
Skinner is constantly sourcing secondhand designer goods on sites like Grailed, where he once got in a “really bitter battle” with someone over a particular Supreme jacket that pays homage to his Midwestern roots. Who hasn’t gotten into an intense bidding war on a secondhand site?
While Skinner’s wardrobe is filled with showstopping pieces, he also knows a thing or two about dressing up basics. Whether he’s pairing an Entireworld sweatsuit with a Noon Goons statement leather jacket or elevating a Jean Paul Gaultier graphic tee with simple black trousers, Skinner is the king of making the most out of every item in his wardrobe.
Oh, and if you’re already thinking about what you want to wear for Halloween this year, Skinner has some major inspiration for nostalgic looks that will definitely help you win the costume contest this year.
Skinner’s custom Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen look by Christopher Palu is the “early 2000s meets dial-up internet” costume that dreams are made of.
Skinner’s other favorite costume piece is a vintage ’80s wedding dress that was transformed into a top by For Good Luck that he wore as his character “Benita.”
