Tigris is the cousin of Coriolanus Snow and lives with him in The Capitol. She has an interest and talent in fashion and helps Snow with some of his outfits as well as being there for him emotionally throughout the story.

One look Tigris wears is this all-pink suit costume. To recreate this, wear a pink blazer, pink pencil skirt, pink v-neck blouse, a pink hair fascinator, and blue heels. Add lots of pink blush to complete the look.

Venetia Catton is Felix’s sister and has a fling with Oliver at, and is played by Alison Oliver. She’s a character with lots of personality and at first seems shallow until we get to know her character more.

To create Venetia’s iconic pink look for yourself, wear a glittery purple dress or jumpsuit, pink cat-eye sunglasses, and layer over it a pink fun and party-ready tinsel jacket.

Nicole Kidman’s AMC ad has quickly become an internet sensation and meme, for what reason? Simply because we love her. There have been incredible re-creations of her costume from the ad going viral on platforms like Tik Tok from conventions and even just a trip to the movies. This would be a hilarious costume for any movie-lover.

To create this costume, take a gray two-piece suit, preferably with the blazer being double breasted and add rhinestoned stripes or trim in vertical stripes on both the pants and the blazer if you’re a crafty person. If you have similar hair, wear a simple updo or you can style a wig the same way. Add a pair of heels and even a tin of popcorn to complete the look.

To dress like Lagrange, wear a satin or glittery maxi gold formal dress with a draped or square front top and spaghetti straps. Pair this with matching gold strappy heels, a gold necklace with a diamond shaped pendant, and a smokey eyeshadow palette.

Karen is a part of ‘the plastics’ which are the group of popular girls in school. She is known as the hilariously ditsy character.

Karen’s costume, like the others in this new take on the story follow current trends.

Another is a pink look that features a pink button-front skirt, a pink tie-front sweater over a white lettuce hem top and red sunglasses.
