Aussie comedian re-enacts celebrity snaps
Celeste Barber posts her creations with #CelesteChallengeAccepted
An Australian comedian is re-enacting celebrity Instagram snaps to show just how ridiculous some of their poses can be.
Celeste Barber has been posting snaps of celebrities side-by-side with her re-enactments to social media. She shares her creations using the hashtag #CelesteChallengeAccepted.
She re-created Gisele Bundchen's picture of the supermodel breastfeeding while she had her hair and makeup done.
She tackled an inspirational fitness photo from tennis star Serena Williams.

—@BarberCelesteOf course, Kim Kardashian, who has published a book of her selfies, has been a frequent target of Barber's re-enactments.
She put up side-by-side photos of herself and Kardashian both looking tired in their pyjamas.
Another picture recreates Kardashian's "hot hairdresser selfie."
