Coriolanus Snow is a character from the new Hunger Games film: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes and is played by Tom Blyth. The Hunger Games series of films are based off of the original books by Suzanne Collins. This film takes place 64 years before the original Hunger Games we know. In this new film we get to see Coriolanus Snow at 18 years old who is assigned to mentor Lucy of District 12 as the 10th annual Hunger Games approaches.

Coriolanus Snow wears a bold and red uniform like many other characters in the film that we can see in the trailer. This consists of a red blazer, red pleated skirt that hits below the knee, and red pants beneath the skirt. With this he wears a blue collarless button down shirt and black dress shoes. He also wears a gold pin which can be created with clay, gold paint, and pin backings.

The new 2023 biopic film Priscilla follows Priscilla Presley’s life and her relationship with Elvis Presley. The film is directed by Sofia Coppola and is an adaptation of Priscilla’s book Elvis and Me. In this film, Priscilla is played by Cailee Spaeny along side Jacob Elordi who plays Elvis Presley.

Priscilla has an iconic 1960s style that is perfectly re-created in the costumes in this film. She wears lots of feminine pieces like dresses and sweaters with bow details. She also has an iconic hair and makeup style. When Elvis takes control of her style we see this come to life with dark bold eyeliner and dark hair with lots of volume.

Angela Weber is a minor character in the Twilight saga. She is a human who attends Forks High School and takes pictures for the school newspaper. She is friends with Jessica Stanley and Bella Swan. The three girls eat lunch together, where Bella first sees the Cullens. Unlike gossipy Jessica, Angela is shy and gentle. In Breaking Dawn, she attends Bella and Edward‘s wedding. In the movie, she likes Eric Yorkie, but in the book she likes Ben Cheney. In Midnight Sun, Edward helps Angela win Ben’s affection as a thank you for being kind to Bella. The Walking Dead’s Christian Serratos portrays Jessica in the movie adaptation.

Murray is a character from the film White Noise by Noah Baumbach, and is played by Don Cheadle. The film is based on the original 1985 novel by Don DeLillo. This story follows college professor Jack Gladney and his family as they’re faced with “The Airborne Toxic Event.” They’re forced to evacuate their home and ultimately face their fear of death throughout the film and we see how each of them cope with this in their own ways. Murray is professor at the same college that Jack works at. He is very passionate about his studies and enjoys discussing them with Jack. He seems to be very clear-headed in times of trouble and stands strong in what he believes in, and offers advice and new perspectives to Jack because of this.

Murray’s costumes consist of plenty of tweed pieces like blazers, vests, and dress pants. He wears this when working at the college and mixes colors and prints when it comes to shirts and ties for pops of color. When we see him in the grocery store outside of work, he has a very fun costume moment where he wears a loud, colorful 80s teal and blue windbreaker over his work clothes.

Lucy is a character from the new Hunger Games film releasing this November: Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes and is played by Rachel Zegler. The Hunger Games series of films are based off of the original books by Suzanne Collins. This film takes place 64 years before the original Hunger Games we know. In this new film we get to see Coriolanus Snow at 18 years old who is assigned to mentor Lucy of District 12 as the 10th annual Hunger Games approaches.

Lucy’s iconic costume is one that both features trends of today, historic inspired pieces, and a fantastical flare. She wears a canvas corset top that appears to be hand-painted with images of flowers and snakes that create the e age of a bow. There are also ribbons where the shoulder straps meet the bodice. This can be re-created by wearing a canvas floral fashion corset top and adding ribbon, or taking or creating a blank one and then hand painting with fabric paints. Under that she wears a “peasant” top which is historically inspired. It’s ruffled with a square neckline and poofy sleeves. Under this she wears a maxi tulle ruffled layered skirt that can be recreated by starting with a white skirt as the base and dyeing it in layers. The skirt linked here is synthetic, so using synthetic Rit dye will be very effective for this look.

Crowley is a main character in Good Omens. In the second season, he travels up to Heaven via elevator. Accompanied by the Muriel, he disguises himself as an angel by swapping his black outfit for silver and gold tones. You may also recognize his actor, David Tennant, as the Tenth Doctor. Use the gold eyeliner to draw the snake tattoo next to his ear.

Dallas “Dally” Winston is a character in The Outsiders. He is a Greaser. He had a difficult childhood with a father who neglected him. At age ten, he was arrested. While Dally is mean to others, he cares for the greasers and treats them like family. He expresses a particular love and care towards Johnny. When Johnny dies, Dally is overcome with grief and robs a grocery store. The police arrive and he intentionally aims at them with an unloaded gun. An  officer shoots back and he dies from the bullet wound. Matt Dillon plays Dallas in the 1983 movie adaptation.

Babette is a character from the film White Noise by Noah Baumbach, and is played by Greta Gerwig. The film is based on the original 1985 novel by Don DeLillo. This story follows college professor Jack Gladney and his family as they’re faced with “The Airborne Toxic Event.” They’re forced to evacuate their home and ultimately face their fear of death throughout the film and we see how each of them cope with this in their own ways. Babette is a very kind character who is married to Jack and teaches classes to the elderly for work.

Babette wears very fitting outfits for a working 80s mom with lots of purple and blue pieces. She tends to wear jeans and high waisted, wide leg, and pleated dress pants that are rolled at the bottom to show her grey suede ankle boots. If you have “important hair” like Babette, this costume could be perfect for you!
