Julius and Vincent Benedict from Twins

Julius and Vincent Benedict (played by Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito, respectively) are the unlikely title characters of the ’80s comedy Twins.  When Julius, the result of an experiment designed to create the perfect man, discovers he has a twin brother, he goes in search of Vincent, a petty criminal who is his exact opposite in almost every way.  The characters wear multiple costumes throughout the film, but some of their best looks are those they choose to match.  You can emulate their twinning style with a pal by choosing a short sleeve button-down with a busy print reminiscent of the 80s paired with a light-colored suit, brown boat shoes, and basic sunglasses.

The White Death from Bullet Train

The White Death (played by Michael Shannon) is the boogeyman bad guy who orchestrates the events of Bullet Train.  The White Death is a larger-than-life force alluded to throughout the film, responsible for wiping out an entire crime syndicate but now known to live in seclusion following the death of his wife.  He brings together the people he deems responsible for this loss in order to exact revenge, but is surprised when his daughter is on the train as well.  The White Death is an imposing figure with long hair and a plethora of tattoos.  His two main looks are a black suit with a red demon mask in flashbacks and a long yukata-like robe over a white dress shirt and slacks when he arrives on the train.  Whichever you choose to recreate, you’ll start with a grey wig, dark slacks, and a white dress shirt.  Then, add the pieces you need to achieve either look in full.

Sheva Alomar from Resident Evil 5

Sheva Alomar (voiced by Karen Dyer) is a Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance agent who first appears in Resident Evil 5.  As part of the West African branch of BSAA, Sheva is assigned to help Chris Redfield navigate Kijuju in order to stop the sale of a powerful bioweapon.  Sheva is a versatile agent, making her an excellent ally.  Sheva’s costuming is in line with her profession and role in the game.  She wears sturdy boots and green pants, with a plethora of belts and harnesses to hold her supplies and weapons.  Her camisole top includes a light blue and white pattern, so look for a tank top that has similar colors or the same cut.  She also wears forearm guards, fingerless gloves, and a colorful necklace.  A red tattoo pen and a steady hand are your best bet for recreating the tattoo on her left bicep.

bugs bunny from space jam

Bugs Bunny from Space Jam

Bugs Bunny is one of the most iconic of the Looney Tunes and has existed in many different iterations, including as a basketball player in Space Jam and Space Jam: A New Legacy.  Playing opposite NBA superstars including Michael Jordan and LeBron James, Bugs must rally his friends to defend the Earth from an intergalactic threat by winning against the Goon Squad on the court.  To dress like Basketball Bugs, you’ll need to start with a rabbit costume like a onesie and layer a basketball uniform over top.  You can add additional details like gloves and slippers, or opt for a set of bunny ears instead of the hood.  Likewise, if you want to take it to the next level, you can sew or glue a rabbit tail to the outside of your chosen uniform’s shorts.

shadow moth from miraculous ladybug

Shadow Moth from Miraculous Ladybug

Gabriel Agreste (voiced by Keith Silverstein in English) is the main antagonist of Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir.  He has several different iterations, including Hawk Moth.  His Shadow Moth version shares a similar purple color palette, with a few differences.  To recreate this particular villainous look, you’ll need a purple tail coat. Though it may not be possible to find one with the particular peacock-inspired tails of the cartoon original, look for something with a wide collar and a long hem in the back to get as close as possible.  Pair this with darker purple trousers and purple dress shoes as your base.  For his mask, a silver hood can be used and improved with a little DIY; simply color the purple and black found around the right eye hole with some markers.  Add gloves, a fan, and a cane with a dash of purple to complete the look.

Sammy Lawrence from Bendy and the Ink Machine

Sammy Lawrence (voiced by Aaron Landon) was a musician and composer for cartoons including those starring Bendy and Alice Angel who became addicted to ink bottles in Bendy and the Ink Machine.  Sammy becomes a monster dipped in ink, his mortal appearance lost to time and memory.  To recreate Sammy’s monstrous appearance, you’ll need a black body suit with a wet look and black boots layered under yellow pants and suspenders.  You can also add details to the pants with black fabric paint.  You may opt to wear a Bendy mask as well (maybe even distress it a little beforehand to make it a little creepier) or carry a foam axe with you as a prop.

anzu hoshino from romantic killer

Anzu Hoshino from Romantic Killer

Anzu Hoshino (voiced by Rie Takahashi and Deneen Melody) is the main character of the anime and manga series Romantic Killer.  Anzu loves cats, chocolate, and video games, but her life is turned upside down when a wizard named Riri takes away her favorite things and forces her to live her life as if it’s a real-life otome game.  Anzu has messy red hair she wears in a ponytail and while at school, she wears her standard uniform including red sneakers, blue knee high socks, and a cream-colored polo shirt.  Finding an exact match for her skirt can be tricky, so opt for the one you think best represents the original.  Anzu’s casual clothes often include cats, so if you’re chilly and need to add a sweater to your costume, opt for one with a cat print of some kind.

mindy melendez from ready jet go

Mindy Melendez from Ready Jet Go!

Mindy Melendez (voiced by Jaeda Lily Miller) is the youngest member of the group of friends in Ready Jet Go! A neighbor of Sean and Sydney, despite her young age, Mindy is easily welcomed by the older kids, including alien Jet, even if she’s not quite old enough for space travel at the beginning of the series.  Mindy wears a turtleneck sweater and shorts layered over grey leggings.  If you want to get a little closer to her hat from the show, you can stitch a pair of blue buttons onto your bear beanie.

Yukishiro Honoka from Futari wa Pretty Cure

Yukishiro Honoka from Futari wa Pretty Cure

Yukishiro Honoka (voiced by Stephanie Sheh in the American dub) is one of the two main Cures in the anime series Futari wa Pretty Cure.  Alongside Misumi Nagisa, Honoka gains the power to turn into a Cure, a legendary warrior.  As the White Cure, Honoka wears a white dress with light blue accents and ties her hair half up.  If you choose to dress as Honoka at school, the process will be relatively simple.  However, to recreate her White Cure costume, you’ll need to roll up your sleeves for a little creativity.  First, you’ll want to layer a short white dress over a light blue petticoat.  Then, you’ll don white arm and leg warmers.  To add the blue details of her costume, you can use iron-on heart-shaped patches on the arm and leg warmers.  Likewise, you can use a hot glue gun to add a heart to your hair bow, as well as add another bow and light blue ruffles to the dress.  You can always adjust the amount of detail you add based on your skill level or commitment to DIY.
