Simon from Dinner in America
Dinner in America is a 2022 film that has been trending online. It tells the story of a punk rocker named Simon and a girl named Patty, obsessed with his band as they go on a journey together. This would make a perfect couples costume, alongside the character of Patty.
To dress like Simon, start with a black tee, black distressed jeans, and black lace-up boots. Over this, wear a zipped-up army green bomber jacket and attach an Eagle Scouts badge patch onto one side of the jacket.
Longlegs
Longlegs is the villain in the new popular horror film, Longlegs, and is played by Nicolas Cage. Longlegs is a horror/ mystery following the story of Harker, an FBI agent who is assigned a case of a serial killer until she discovers a connection to him during her attempts to stop him.
To dress like Longlegs you could do two different costumes. One is a red-orange shirt worn over a longsleeve cream shirt. Over this layer a blue robe. For the other, and more recognizable look, start by wearing a white button down with white jeans. Over this layer a pale pink button down, which you can cut the sleeves of to make it a vest, leaving it partly unbuttoned to show the white shirt underneath. Over that, wear a light gray denim jacket and tie a black and white scarf around your neck, tucked in partly to the white shirt. For both of these looks, the makeup and hair is a prominent part to recreate. For makeup, use a pale foundation all over the face. Use a cool makeup palette or contour shades to add similar dimensions throughout the face. Wear a light pink or nude lip that is over lined and finally for the hair, wear a blonde wig which you can cut to thin if needed and style to look messy.
Bruno Mars from Die With A Smile
Die With A Smile is a brand new song featuring both Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars. The music video released along with it, which has bright fashions that are 70s inspired, and remind us of artists like Porter Wagoner and Dolly Parton. This would make a great duo costume with the matching look Lady Gaga wore in the video.
To dress like Bruno Mars in the video, wear a turquoise blue suit over a partly unbuttoned red button down shirt. For the suit jacket, cut off of the bottom hem to square it off and fold under to make a clean hem (sewing and ironing flat if possible). You can also remove the buttons for a more cohesive look. Pair this with an off-white cowboy hat, a gold cross necklace, and any dress shoes.
Patty from Dinner in America
Dinner in America is a 2022 film that has been trending online. It tells the story of a punk rocker named Simon and a girl named Patty, obsessed with his band as they go on a journey together. This would make a perfect couples costume, alongside the character of Simon.
To dress like Patty, wear a multicolor striped tee tucked into denim shorts. Pair with glasses, a black studded belt, orange sneakers, and blue socks.
Beau from Beau is Afraid
Beau is the leading character of the 2023 Ari Aster film, Beau Is Afraid. It’s a disorienting horror film following Beau as he goes on a journey to confront his worst fears to make it back home.
To dress like Beau in his most recognizable costume, wear a gray set of pajamas with white piping. For a lesser-known one, wear a light brown shirt, canvas suspenders, dark wash jeans, and a brown hat or fedora. Carry a prop hatchet to complete the look.
Bob Dylan from A Complete Unknown
Timothee Chalamet is playing the part of music legend, Bob Dylan in the new biopic, A Complete Unknown. Although not released yet, we can see the impressive costumes in set pics online and in trailers.
To dress like Chalamet as Bob Dylan in a younger and more colorful look, wear a warm colored plaid shirt and bootcut jeans. Over this wear an army green jacket, a knitted mustard yellow scarf, yellow gloves, and a corduroy cap. Carry a guitar case and yellow backpack to take the look even further. For his more recognizable and iconic look where he appears to be playing a slightly older Dylan, wear a suede brown jacket, brown pants, black shirt, and black sunglasses.
