Lara Jean Covey from To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before 2
In To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before 2: P.S. I Still Love You, Lara Jean Covey (played by Lana Condor) finds herself having to choose between her dreamy boyfriend Peter Kavinsky and a new love interest who responds to one of her original letters, John Ambrose. While much of Lara’s signature vintage-infused style is seen in the film, she also gets to dress up more for some exciting events including her first date with Peter, a traditional Korean New Year celebration, and a ball she and John Ambrose throw at the nursing home where they both volunteer.
Meg March from Little Women
Meg March (played by Emma Watson) is the eldest daughter of the March family in Little Women. As such, she is the only one of the children who remembers what their family life was like before they lost their fortune, which means she has more of a taste for extravagance and indulgence than her sister Jo. Meg marries sensibly for love, but not before spending much of her time putting on plays with her sisters and attending dances and balls in the most fashionable dresses she can afford (or borrow, in the case of her luxurious pink satin ballgown).
Jo March from Little Women
Jo March (played by Saoirse Ronan) is the main character in Greta Gerwig’s Little Women. The latest adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s beloved novel shows Jo’s journey from young girl to published author. Jo is fierce and outspoken, with a stubborn streak to match, and her clothing is a mix of men’s and women’s fashions from the Civil War era, including a pair of pants worn under her skirt, which makes it easier to run home after speaking with her publisher.
Triss Merigold from Netflix’s The Witcher
Triss Merigold (played by Anna Shaffer) is a Temerian sorceress who asks Geralt for help curing a striga who is also the rightful heir to the throne of Temeria. Triss wears jewel-toned solid color dresses, and has a warm fur coat. Her chandelier earrings are gold with white beads.
Joni Thrombey from Knives Out
Joni Thrombey (played by Toni Collette) is the widow of Harlan Thrombey’s late son Neil and mother of Megan. As a lifestyle guru and social influencer, Joni’s style is punctuated by flowing tops and trendy accessories. Her entire look is soft and ethereal, including her long hair and frosted lips.
Mulan Kato as Green Hornet
In 2018, Dynamite Comics ran a short arc in which the daughter of Kato picked up the mantle of the Green Hornet following the death of Britt Reid. Mulan is a highly skilled martial artist like her father, trained in nearly 500 forms of hand-to-hand combat. Mulan’s Green Hornet costume is a more fitted and updated version of the 1960s adaptation, swapping the trench coat for a stylish asymmetrical top with an attached cape.
Lady Trieu from HBO’s Watchmen
Lady Trieu (played by Hong Chau) is the smartest woman in the world when she is introduced in HBO’s Watchmen series. However, much like her father, she can also be narcissistic and cruel. Lady Trieu’s signature look consists of cream and white colored fabrics with long sleeves, high necklines, and gloves.
Agent Stone from Sonic the Hedgehog (2020)
Agent Stone (played by Lee Majdoub) is Dr. Robotnik’s faithful assistant in the Sonic the Hedgehog movie. He is often at the mercy of Robotnik’s volatile temper. Agent Stone maintains a crisp and professional appearance with a well-groomed beard and simple black suits.
Haruko Haruhara from FLCL
Haruko Haruhara is an unpredictable investigator for the Galactic Space Brotherhood. She finds herself on Earth on her quest to find the “Pirate King” Atomsk. Haruko’s appearance and personality vary widely throughout FLCL, but her most iconic outfit makes for an easy ride on her bright yellow Vespa Super Sport and consists of a red vested top, black pants, a scarf, and goggles.
Little Rock from Zombieland 2
In Zombieland Double Tap, Little Rock (played by Abigail Breslin) has grown a lot since the first film. Little Rock feels stifled by her post-apocalyptic “family” and seeks new adventures with a boy named Berkeley and young people her own age. Little Rock’s clothes are edgy, but still practical with tall combat boots and lots of layers.
