Mexican artistFrida Kahlomay be the most recognizable face in the nontextual matter cosmos . More than 60 twelvemonth after her death , her strikingself - portraitsand distinctive features ( those brow ! ) and style make her a chassis right for imitation .
In pureness of her 110th natal day ( which was on July 6 ) , theDallas Museum of Artand the local Latino Center for Leadership Development celebrated Frida Fest , a Clarence Day devote to all thing Frida . Most notable ? More than 1000 people show up to take part in the largest assemblage of hoi polloi dressed as Frida Kahlo in one place , asThe Daily Beastreports .
The museum had a makeup creative person on hired hand to give people free Frida makeovers , in avail to the museum ’s semi - strict pattern for what exactly be " dressing like Frida . " Impersonators were required to have a unibrow , either drawn in make-up or made with fake ( or , presumptively , real ) hair . They had to wear no less than three artificial bloom in their whisker , get into a below - the - knee floral frock ( no slit ! ) , and get into a red or pink shawl .
Thanks to the Frida lover of all old age , races , and sexuality who came dressed up as the iconic creative person , the museum thinks it will be able to secure a Guinness World Record for the feat . Museum staffers are about to send in the grounds — all the Frida expression - alikes were register and count at the event — and they expect to hear back from Guinness within 12 weeks .
While the Dallas upshot might have the preeminence of being the largest Fridalook - alikeevent , Frida gatherings happen elsewhere , too . TheSan Antonioversion is in its second yr .
