Vinnie from Sift Heads
Vinnie is the legendary assassin and bounty hunter at the heart of the Sift Heads game series. Vinnie’s life of violence began early after his father was killed, and later, while still in diapers, Vinnie assassinated his first target when his cat destroyed a beloved stuffed animal. In the game, Vinnie is designed as a shadow-like humanoid figure, often seen wearing silver sunglasses and smoking a cigarette. Though you may have to give up some of your ability to eat and drink to achieve his look, a hooded zentai suit makes recreating this shadowy figure fairly simple.
Anya Forger from Spy x Family
Anya Forger (voiced by Atsumi Tanezaki and Megan Shipman) is the adopted daughter of Loid and Yor Forger in the anime and manga series Spy x Family. Anya was formerly known as Test Subject 007 and has telepathic abilities as the result of experiments conducted by an unknown organization. Anya has pink hair and large green eyes. She wears a black dress with gold trim and white stockings and black shoes. If you don’t want to purchase a full cosplay set of her costume, you can recreate a similar look with a white shirt layered under a square-neck dress.
Melina from Elden Ring
Melina (voiced by Martha Mackintosh) is an important character in the action RPG Elden Ring. Melina aligns herself with the Tarnished to help them on their journey in exchange for them accompanying her to the Eldtree. If you want an exact replica of Melina’s costume, you can find full cosplay sets available for purchase. Pair this one with a wig and boots to really pull the entire look together. Otherwise, you can layer a cloak and tunic over a skirt and add a brown cinched belt to evoke a similar feel.
Selina Kyle from The Batman
Selina Kyle (played by Zoe Kravitz) is an ally of Bruce Wayne in the 2022 film The Batman. Selina is well-known to DC Comics fans as the real name of Catwoman, the Gotham villain and occasional love interest of Batman. In this iteration, Selina helps Batman while the Riddler torments the city with threats of violence. To recreate some of Selina’s best looks, you’ll want to focus on dark leather pieces. Getting her catsuit exactly right can be tricky, so don’t be afraid to fake the jumpsuit look with separate pieces masked by a strategically placed belt. Focus on the overall aesthetic and silhouette rather than getting bogged down in the details.
Amber von Tussle
Amber von Tussle is the secondary antagonist of the musical Hairspray. Played by Brittany Snow in the 2007 movie and Cameron Dove in the 2016 live television special, Amber is a blonde beauty who often makes fun of Tracy Turnblad. Hairspray is set in 1962, providing you with plenty of opportunities to recreate some classic vintage looks. Finding exact matches for these kinds of costume pieces is almost impossible, so if you’re having trouble, be sure to focus on the classic silhouettes of the ’50s and ’60s to make your own one-of-a-kind look. Though the most iconic looks for this character may be her chosen costume for the Miss Teenage Hairspray competition, there are plenty of vintage looks to choose from throughout the film or special, so don’t limit yourself and get creative!
