Troy and Gabriella from High School Musical
Troy Bolton (Zac Efron) and Gabriella Montez (Vanessa Hudgens) are the two main characters in the Disney Channel original movie, High School Musical. Troy is the basketball prodigy at East High, whereas Gabriella is a remarkable science student. They sing a duet together for karaoke at a New Years Eve party. The pair reunites when Gabriella transfers to East High. After Gabriella gains the confidence to audition for the school musical, Troy volunteers to sing with her. When they make the callbacks, both Troy and Gabriella face a dilemma: to go forward with the musical, or stick with the status quo. This would make a great couples costume or just for pure nostalgia.
Amity Blight from The Owl House
Amity Blight is a character in the Disney Channel animated series, The Owl House. She attends Hexside Academy of Magic and Demonics. Bright and competitive, Amity is a prodigious young witch. In the beginning, she exhibits hubris and looks down on others who don’t succeed like her. Although now Amity has shown a more sensitive side to her personality, such as when she bonds with her friend (and crush) Luz. You can dye the top of the wig with dark green Copic marker and the front with brown Copic marker. Then you can sew the gold button onto the cowl, and like magic, your costume is done!
She-Hulk
She-Hulk is a superhero from the Marvel comics. By day, she’s Jennifer Walters, a lawyer working in Los Angeles and cousin of Bruce Banner. When he visited Jennifer in town, agents of a crime boss named Nick Trask shot and wounded her. Realizing she was going to die, Bruce volunteered for the blood transfusion and committed her to a hospital. The agents returned to attack, but the sense of danger activated the gamma radiation in the blood. Jennifer transformed into She-Hulk and used her newfound super strength to defeat them. Like Bruce, she can be intelligent as both Jennifer and She-Hulk. She briefly joined the Avengers and replaced The Thing in the Fantastic Four. Use the purple fabric paint to make the stripes on either side of the leotard. You can also use green fabric paint to shade the unitard to emulate her strong muscles.

Kristoff in Frozen 2
Kristoff (voiced by Jonathan Groff, who you may know as King George III from Hamilton) is a character in Frozen 2. Rugged and broad shouldered, he works as an ice harvester with his reindeer companion, Sven. In the second movie, Kristoff accompanies the two sisters to the Enchanted Forest. While there, he struggles to propose to Princess Anna. His song, “Lost in the Woods,” express these frustrations. Kristoff helps Anna destroy the dam and save Northuldra. When they reunite with Elsa, he finally proposes, and Anna says yes. This outfit is similar to the first movie, just with a change of color palette to fit the autumn theme. Use hot glue to add fur to the collar, sleeves, and bottom of the t-shirt. You might also want to trim the sash as it looks very long.
Queen Anna from Frozen 2
In Frozen 2, Princess Anna of Arendelle becomes Queen Anna of Arendelle. When Elsa realizes she is the fifth spirit, and it’s best for her to stay in the Enchanted Forest, she steps down from being queen. As a result, her younger sister becomes queen. This is Anna’s coronation outfit, which resembles Elsa’s from the first movie. Be sure to show off that engagement ring from Kristoff!
Galadriel
Galadriel is a character in The Lord of the Rings. Possessing exceptional beauty and wisdom, she is one of the greatest elves of Middle Earth. She is also extremely powerful. In fact, her magical abilities are akin to that of Gandalf. This is in part to her possession of one of the Great Rings, Nenya, or the Ring of Adamant. She is admired by everyone, especially Gimli, who is in awe of her magnificent presence. Her mirror allows seekers to see possible events of the future. Galadriel gives each member of the Fellowship an Elven cloak as well as a gift. She gifts Frodo with a phial that shines bright in the dark. You can use a crystal rose quartz as her phial. In the film adaptation, Cate Blanchett plays this role.
Harley Quinn from DC Universe
Harley Quinn is the protagonist of her own self titled series on DC Universe. You might recognize her voice actress, Kaley Cuoco, from The Big Bang Theory. After splitting up with the Joker, Harley forms her own league of villains, including King Shark, Clayface, Doctor Psycho, and Cy Borgman. The show follows her misadventures of taking down the Joker. Eventually, Harley develops a romantic relationship with Poison Ivy.

Kitty Pryde
Katherine “Kitty” Pryde, aka Shadowcat, is a member of the X-Men. Her powers include phasing and intangibility, which lets her simulate levitation. In the comics, she joins the Guardians of the Galaxy and actually takes over as Star Lord. In the Marauders series (not related to the Marauders in Harry Potter, but wouldn’t that be a cool crossover!), she’s currently known as Red Queen. The comics also highlight her Jewish heritage. And did you know her companion, a purple dragon named Lockheed, is actually a highly intelligent alien?
