Betty Cooper from Riverdale
The childhood friend of Archie Andrews (KJ Apa), Betty Cooper (Lili Reinhart) is your classic girl-next-store with her good grades, cheerleader status, and her being the editor of her high school’s yearbook. In the time after the mysterious death of a classmate, Betty became the best friend of new girl Veronica Lodge (Camila Mendes), and began dating Jughead Jones (Cole Sprouse). She wears a lot of classic silhouettes in pastel colors like baby pink or blue.
Dothraki Daenerys Targaryen
After being sold to Khal Drogo (Jason Momoa) to be his bride, Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) integrated herself into the Dothraki people. As such, the new Khaleesi adapted her way of dress to match their rough, nomadic lifestyle. This included wearing roughspun clothing, skins, and putting her hair into braids. Finish the look by following this Daenerys Targaryen makeup tutorial.
Diane Nguyen
Diane Nguyen (Alison Brie) is a Boston-born author, ghostwriter for BoJack (Will Arnett), and wife of Mr. Peanutbutter (Paul F. Tompkins) in the show BoJack Horseman. She is one of the few main characters that is human. Whether she’s wearing her Starbucks apron or her staple green jacket, Diane always has telltale red/orange arrows on her clothes at the waist. Add these to an existing jacket with fabric paint (you can paint the yellow bands on her boots, too!)
Unity
In the multiverse of Rick and Morty, the creature Unity (Christina Hendricks) is both an alien collective hivemind and also the former lover of Rick Sanchez (Justin Roiland).
