Have you ever wanted to be The Girl With The Pearl Earring?
Well thanks to a Canadian artist, many people were able to follow in Scarlett Johansson's footsteps and remake the classic painting by 17th Century Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer.
Jeff Hamada, an artist from Vancouver, has been running a competition named Remake on his website 'Booooooom'.

Mr Hamada said: 'The idea of the project is to remake a famous work of art using photography.
'I thought I would run a competition to see what the public could come up with.
