Lucy from Fallout (Wedding Gown)

A new TV series has been going viral online for its spot-on live action adaptation of the video game franchise Fallout that takes place in a post-apocalyptic world. This series depicts the aftermath of The Great War of 2077, where survivors take refuge in fallout shelters or Vaults, which are actually all created as different experiments on the people who live in them. It follows a woman named Lucy who leaves Vault 33 to find her father in the dangerous wasteland of what is left of Los Angeles. She runs into a Ghoul bounty hunter, originally named Cooper Howard. He was a film actor before the war. In this guide I’ll be covering her costume from Episode 1, which takes on a transformation itself: going from a clean wedding dress to a bloodied and battle-ready one.

To dress like Lucy in her wedding costume in episode one, wear a 50s style retro white wedding dress as the base. For the one linked here, remove the sleeves for a more screen-accurate look. Adding a white petticoat will also give the skirt that fuller look. With this, pair a white clip-in veil, white retro heels, and a sunflower bouquet.

For the version in the later half of the episode where she gets to fighting, use red fabric paint for the blood stain on her dress. Black acrylic or fabric paint can be added at different layers towards the center for a more realistic look. To mimic the belt across her chest, you can wear a bullet belt/ sash. She also wears a contraption on her wrist that we continue to see throughout the series that in the game is called a Pipboy 3000, and like the one linked below, artists sell various versions of the prop they create online. Either wear a wig or style your hair like Lucy’s and add some red splatters on your face and arms to take the look even further.

Beca from Pitch Perfect

Beca is the main character from the 2012 film Pitch Perfect, and is played by Anna Kendrick. Pitch Perfect is a comedy that follows Beca, a college student that joins the all-girls singing group at her school called The Bellas who take on the rival all-male group in competition.

Beca has a much edgier style than most of The Bellas, reflecting her dream of being a DJ. There are a couple looks that can be recreated like this one with a gray sleeveless cardigan layered over a maroon lace-edge tank top, or her look with a cropped plaid blazer, a navy long sleeve shirt with lace detail, and a gray scarf.

Brian from The Breakfast Club

Brian is one of the characters from the iconic 1985 film The Breakfast Club and is played by Anthony Michael Hall. The Breakfast Club is a comedy film that follows five students from different backgrounds and each with unique personalities as they all endure Saturday detention in High School.

Brian is the brains of the group and his wardrobe is one that is both understated but fitting. To dress like Brian, wear a green sweater under a brown zip-up jacket, jeans, blue sneakers, and sunglasses for the look in that iconic scene.

Enoch from Miss Peregrines Home for Peculiar Children

Enoch is one of the characters in the film Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, based off of the book by Ransom Riggs. This movie is directed by Tim Burton and it definitely is fitting in its style. Enoch is played by Finlay MacMillan. The movie is about a boy named Jacob we follow through the story as he is transported into the past where a home of orphans with special powers live.

Enoch is one of the children at the home and his special power is the animation of things like dolls that he builds and creates. To dress like Enoch, wear a gray cardigan, a light gray button-down shirt, dark gray trousers, canvas suspenders, and brown dress shoes.

Beetlejuice from Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (2024)

The new trailer for the second Beetlejuice film released recently and is called Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, planned to release this fall of 2024. The film takes place in the future after the previous one we all know from 1988. Most of the cast is the same as the original, playing their original characters we all know and love.

One of the characters returning is of course Beetlejuice himself, played again by Michael Keaton. To dress like Beetlejuice as we can see him in the trailer, wear the iconic black and white striped suit, a white shirt, black tie, Beetlejuice wig, and face makeup for that undead look. Fabric paint can be used to distress the suit and shirt.

Miss Peregrine runs this particular home and her Victorian look is inspired by what she can turn into: a peregrine falcon.

Sheriff Jake from Strange Way of Life

Sheriff Jake is one of the main characters from the Pedro Almodovar short film Strange Way of Life, and is played by Ethan Hawke. This western film is in a way Almodovar’s own take on Brokeback Mountain, which he was originally meant to direct but wasn’t fully allowed to create it in his own way. This short is his answer to that. The film follows Silva who after twenty five years, rides across the desert to visit Sheriff Jake, but Jake believes he is there for an ulterior motive.

Jake wears a navy blazer, black cowboy hat, blue shirt, black western bow tie, sheriff badge, black pants, and black cowboy boots.
