Adorable tiny human imitates the style of Hollywood heart-throbs.

 

This kid has more than 80,000 Instagram followers, and more style than most leading men in Hollywood.

Ryker Wixom from Los Angeles – a.k.a the Mini Style Hacker – is styled by his mother Collette for his successful blog, where he copies the outfits (and poses!) of male celebrities and models.

 

But while Ryker may be the looks. Collette is the brains behind the project. On the blog, she writes that, “This all started when a friend showed me pictures of a few “fashion kids” on Instagram.  The first thing I noticed was a Gucci belt and Ferragamo shoes.  Although I thought the kids looked adorable, I knew that my kids would probably not be wearing those designers in the near future.”

“I thought it would be fun to “hack” the style of men in fashion and show other parents how they could do the same.”

Ryker and Collette recreate the looks of famous celebrities – but they use affordable clothes brands, that kids actually wear.

“Ryker, who is featured in most of my photos, is 4 and is not a model or an actor.  He is a regular kid who does regular kid things,” Collette writes. “I am able to get him to “pose” by making it fun for him.  We use our imaginations a ton and have a great time while doing so.  If you see him with his hands in his pockets, he is holstering his imaginary laser guns.  If you see him leaning against a wall, he is trying to push it over with his body weight.”

She also has advice for parents who kids might hate having their pictures taken – and given Ryker always looks suave beyond his years, it’s probably advice worth following.

“If your child hates having their picture taken, give imaginative play a try!” she explains.

Okay, tell the truth. Are you tempted to dress your kids up like Ryan Gosling and Johnny Depp, now?
