Maxime Le Mal from Despicable Me 4
Maxime Le Mal is a character from the new Despicable Me: 4 and voiced by Will Ferrell. Maxime is nicknamed the ‘insect man’ and was a student at a school for villains. He is part cockroach and is seeking revenge on Gru.
To dress like Maxime, take a long green puffer jacket and using gold paint markers, draw on a similar floral design all over as the pattern. Take a fur dotted collar from a kings’ cape costume piece and attach it to the green jacket. Pair this with a green shirt, gold bow tie, white gloves, and green circular framed sunglasses. This would make a fun duo costume with his girlfriend in the movie, Valentina.
Alvin from Alvin and the Chipmunks
Alvin and the Chipmunks is a popular children’s film from 2007 that follows three musical chipmunks named Alvin, Simon, and Theodore who find a new home in Dave’s house, a singer songwriter that helps them gain popularity and show off their talents to the world.
To dress like Alvin, wear a red hoodie, a headband with ears, a chipmunk fuzzy tail, and a mic headset. To create the A on his sweatshirt, take yellow flocked iron-on material and draw an A to the size you want. Simply cut out the A and iron onto the sweatshirt. For pants and shoes, anything goes but khaki shorts or pants might fit best.
Chapell Roan as a Fairy at Lollapalooza Performance
Chappell Roan is a popular singer-songwriter that has a unique style when it comes to her stage costumes. She is inspired by drag and isn’t afraid to go all out glam in her performances. Her fans have taken a love to her style and share their concert-going costumes and outfits online, showing off their creativity by recreating her looks and making their own.
One look that would be great to recreate is her adorable fairy costume. At the base, wear a purple leotard and a purple corset over that. Add silver gems/ rhinestones by glueing them all over and at varying sizes. Add a dusty rose color tulle lining the neckline and straps, and the hips by scrunching it at different points and using either glue or thread to attach it as you go. For makeup, go for purples, graphic liner, and a bright purple-pink eyeshadow as blush. For accessories, wear iridescent/ holographic fairy wings, an orange large beaded necklace, a pink hair piece with feathers in your hair, and black floral opera gloves.

Molly from the American Girl Dolls Historical Line
Nostalgia is something that is the driving factor behind so many trends online. We look back on our childhood and together we appreciate and remember things like Barbies to Bratz dolls. The internet has brought back their popularity over the past years, realizing the how great the fashion these dolls have and one of these that have been trending recently, are the historic line of the American Girl Dolls. American Girl Dolls were very popular in the early 2000s. They came with books of their stories and each are from different time periods.
In this I’ll be covering how you can create a costume after the doll Molly. Molly is one of the iconic dolls from the line and her story is one that takes place in the 1940s. To dress like Molly, wear a blue sweater under a red printed sweater vest. With this wear a navy skirt, a navy beret, white frilly socks, black Mary Jane shoes, silver round glasses, and a red crossbody bag.

Attach various sizes of AB rhinestones or gemstones along the top and over the shoulder. Over this create the white sash by taking a blank white sash and attaching silver rhinestoned letters across it. You can also add rhinestones all over this. Wear your hair up with a small silver tiara. She also wears white gloves with rhinestones covering them.

Huckleberry Pie from Strawberry Shortcake
Huckleberry Pie is one of the only male characters from the Strawberry Shortcake franchise, appearing in numerous series. He is a fisherman and one of Strawberry Shortcake’s friends. He also has a puppy named Pupcake.
To dress like Huckleberry, wear a straw bucket hat and attach faux blueberries or huckleberries at the side (I’ve attached blueberries in this case as they’re brighter in color like the original design). Wear a purple sweater over blue overalls. Roll the legs of the overalls into cuffs, then take green and white striped fabric and cover it either by sewing or glueing, hiding the seams in the folded areas. You can also use this fabric to cut out a large square to tie as a bandana to wear around your neck, and if you’d like to take the costume even further, carry any stuffed dog and cover it ears and one paw in the striped fabric by glueing or sewing like patches.

Another can be recreated with a blue velvet dress, a blue scarf, black sunglasses, the same black stockings, and black gloves.
