Ally Dawson from Austin & Ally
Ally Dawson (played by Laura Marano) is one of the titular characters of the Disney Channel series Austin & Ally. Ally is originally a very shy songwriter, but eventually, she gains the confidence to become a performer with some help from Austin Moon. Ally sports many different outfits throughout the series, but you can’t go wrong with a short skirt, cute booties or wedges, and a flowy top. To recreate the first of Ally’s looks, you’ll need a leather skirt with zipper detailing, grey peep toe booties, a black and white tank, and silver bracelets. Her original appearance is more colorful, with a white denim vest, a pink cropped tank layered over a mint green camisole, and a blue tube skirt. Mint green strappy shoes complete the look.
Claire Debella from Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery
Claire Debella (played by Kathryn Hahn) is a liberal politician whose biggest donor is Miles Bron in Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery. Claire has known Miles and the rest of the crew for many years, and remains loyal to Miles because of his immense contributions to her political campaign, even going so far as to lie about the beginnings of the company Miles founded with Andi Brand at the latter’s expense despite having concerns about some of his projects. Claire wears hardly any color throughout the film, continuously opting for shades of beige and tan in her wardrobe, so much so that Miles even comments on it at one point. To recreate her look from dinner, you’ll need a beige dress, blazer, and espadrille sandals. Finding a sheath dress that matches may cost a bit more, since her chic look does come with a price tag. But if you plan to leave the blazer on, you may be able to get away with a casual dress to wear underneath that’s a bit more budget friendly.
Lionel Toussaint from Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery
Lionel Toussaint (played by Leslie Odom, Jr.) is a high-ranking employee of Miles Bron‘s successful company in the film Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery. Lionel has reservations about Miles’ latest green energy initiative, which he shares with Claire Debella. On the trek to Miles’ private island, Lionel wears brightly colored paints and a muted tunic with wooden beads. For dinner, he wears a snazzy green suit with a wishbone brooch and black hat.
Kaname “Sniper” Hagiri from Yu Yu Hakusho
Kaname Hagiri (voiced by Eiji Sekiguchi and Aaron Hatch) is an antagonist from the Yu Yu Hakusho anime series. Called “Sniper,” Kaname is a former member of the Sensui Seven who often uses small dice as a weapon. Kaname has black hair and is most often shown wearing a baggy t-shirt and grey jeans under a red leather jacket. If a leather motorcycle jacket is out of your budget, consider using a cheaper bomber jacket in its place. Finish the look with fingerless gloves and a set of microdice to wield against your enemies.
Peg from Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery
Peg (played by Jessica Henwick) is Birdie Jay‘s assistant in the murder mystery film Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery. Peg has the unenviable job of not only adhering to Birdie’s whims, but also keeping her off social media so she can’t do further damage to her image. Peg seems to be the least enthralled by Miles Bron, disliking the way he intends to make Birdie take the fall for their joint business. She is rather enamored of Andi Brand for this reason, given Andi stands up to Miles. Peg is dressed down throughout the film, arriving in a pair of sweat shorts and a bucket hat. She wears the same strapped sandals throughout, including to dinner where she wears a white tee under a green pleated dress. Despite everyone else receiving a custom glass with their drink of choice, Miles serves Peg in a red Solo cup.
Elizabeth Thompson from Soul Eater
Elizabeth “Liz” Thompson (voiced by Akeno Watanabe in Japanese and Jamie Marchi in English) is a character from the manga and anime series Soul Eater. She is the elder sister of Patty Thompson and the official weapon partner of Death the Kid. Liz is a tall, slender woman with honey-blonde hair. She wears a red crop top and dark jeans, with a white stubby tie and black heeled boots. To complete her look, you’ll need two silver bangle bracelets for each wrist. Her hat is rather unique, but any denim cowboy hat will get the job done. She and her sister also wear cropped white jackets on occasion.
Orgazmo
Joe Young (Trey Parker) is a young Mormon missionary who finds himself in the world of pornography playing Orgazmo, the titular sexual superhero in an insanely popular porno. Orgazmo fights crime with the Orgazmorator alongside his sidekick ChodaBoy. To recreate Orgazmo’s over-the-top look, you’ll need a pink bodysuit, green cape, and purple facemask. Then, you’ll want silver gloves, boots, and a jockstrap to wear over your bodysuit. If you want to get even closer to the costume used in the film, you can cut the sleeves off the bodysuit and wear layer a purple compression shirt underneath, as well as add the Orgazmo emblem with some silver and black fabric paint.
Serial Designation J from Murder Drones
Serial Designation J (voiced by Shara Kirby) is an antagonist at the beginning of the Murder Drones animated web series. J, as she is most often called, is a Disassembly Drone intent upon decommissioning as many Worker Drones as she can, which makes her an enemy of N, a much kinder Disassembly Drone, and Uzi, a Worker Drone and the protagonist of the series. J’s look is in line with all the other Disassembly Drones. She has a white body and hair worn in pigtails with a black dress overtop. You can add details to the boots and bodysuit with some hazard tape. J’s eyes and headband light up, which you can recreate with a pair of LED sunglasses and a black headband outfitted with some yellow strip lighting. Simply cut the strip lights down to get them as close to her original design as possible.
Snow White from Red Shoes and the Seven Dwarfs
Snow White (voiced by Chloe Grace Moretz) is a woman transformed in Red Shoes and the Seven Dwarfs. A pair of magical red shoes change Snow White’s appearance before she meets the Seven Dwarfs, including Prince Merlin. While transformed, Snow White goes by the name Red Shoes to conceal her identity. Snow White and Red Shoes wear the same outfit, with minor changes to the way it fits, so you can choose to wear the costume either way, depending on your preference. Obviously, the most important part of your recreation is a pair of red high-heeled shoes. You’ll also need a white top–you can opt for a longer-sleeved peasant top with a square neckline, or perhaps a shorter version with a lace front. A dark red skirt and waist belt complete the look.
Karen the Computer from the SpongeBob Musical
Karen Plankton is the computer wife of Sheldon J. Plankton in The SpongeBob Musical. Karen is a computer and, alongside her husband, tries to trick the residents of Bikini Bottom. Karen’s look in the musical is very different from the ordinary computer screen in the original cartoon series. To recreate the costume, you’ll want to focus on the futuristic aesthetic. Karen wears green tights, silver boots, and silver wraparound glasses. A futuristic space explorer costume is a good stand-in for an official Karen costume, but you can also get close with a silver skirt and a draped top. Finish the look with a purple wig of your choice and some frosty lilac lipstick.
