Rylan donned an elegant lace wedding style dress and a dark wig as he stepped into Kendall’s shoes to recreate that hair selfie moment which has since seen countless recreations from fans over social.
Next in Rylan’s sights was Scottish crooner Lewis Capaldi - who celebrated his single 'Someone You Loved' being number for six consecutive weeks, with four consecutive selfies.

One of the internet’s original viral selfies was Justin Bieber revealing his fresh tattoos - smashing the one million 'like mark' with the post in the process.
Rylan posed in moody tour bus lighting, with the replicas of Bieber’s tattoos and quiff reaching for the sky in a bid to channel the pop star's bad boy era.
And finally, he got tucked up with the World Cup - just like footballing magician Lionel Messi, who’s selfie in bed with his trophy went viral alongside a carousel of images.
