In the iconic ballet performance scene, she wears bright red ballet shoes that tie up with ribbon,  white tights, a blush or cream long tulle skirt, a leotard with appliqués and a blue bow in her hair.

One recognizable costume is her red rugby s oversized shirt that would make a great duo/matching costume with Josie in the scene that wears a blue one. Add a bandage to your nose and makeup to create a bruised eye to complete the look. Another look is this bold and colorful outfit with a multicolored striped shirt, black suspenders, and brown corduroy pants.
