Kendall Roy from Succession
Kendall Roy (played by Jeremy Strong) is the second song of CEO Logan Roy on the HBO series Succession. A former cocaine addict, Kendall is considered first in line to inherit his father’s company, but he has yet to fully earn Logan’s trust. Kendall often uses his expensive wardrobe to try and blend into his surroundings, like wearing expensive sneakers to impress people in the art world or wearing outdoors-y gear to seem less buttoned up. Don’t be afraid to choose some of your favorite of Kendall’s looks and mix different pieces.
Roman Roy from Succession
Roman Roy (played by Kieran Culkin) is one of Logan Roy‘s children on the HBO show Succession. While Roman exhibits much of his father’s bravado and charisma, Logan worries his youngest son’s immaturity prevents him from being a good fit for the job of taking over Waystar Royco. Roman’s hair is a little more unruly and unkempt than his father or brother Kendall and he can often be seen sporting a five o’clock shadow.
Luisa Madrigal from Encanto
Luisa Madrigal (voiced by Jessica Darrow) is the middle child of the Madrigal family in the Disney movie Encanto. Luisa is younger than Isabela, but older than Mirabel. Endowed with super strength, Luisa is reliable and tough, always willing to lend a helping hand, especially to her younger sister. Luisa wears a long dark skirt and matching shoes paired with a white blouse. She accessorizes with cloth bracelets and a red ribbon in her hair.
Siobhan Roy from Succession
Siobhan “Shiv” Roy (played by Sarah Snook) is the only daughter of Logan Roy on the HBO series Succession. Though she begins the series as the more free-spirited of her siblings, content to build her own career beyond the shadow of her family’s company, Shiv’s appearance in season 2 is indicative of her increasing status as a potential heir to her father’s empire over brothers Kendall and Roman. With a more coiffed hairstyle, Shiv also favors tailored, monochromatic outfits with chic turtlenecks.
Isabela Madrigal from Encanto
Isabela Madrigal (voiced by Diane Guerrero) is the eldest sister of Luisa and Mirabel in the Disney animated feature Encanto. With the power to conjure flowers and plants, Isabela is often considered the golden child of the Madrigal family. Her costuming consists of a tiered floral dress in shades of purple, long dark hair, and a floral hair clip. While plenty of recreated dresses exist for children, if you’re looking to create this costume for an adult, you’ll want to focus on soft purples and finding a dress that emulates her flowy silhouette.
Beth from Total Drama Island
In the Cartoon Network show Total Drama Island, Beth (voiced by Sarah Gadon) is a member of the Screaming Gophers along with other contestants including Trent, Gwen, Justin, among others. Beth was raised on a farm with mostly animals for company and as a result, she doesn’t have the best social skills. She wears pink pants, a green shirt tied in a knot at one hip, and a vest with pins to decorate it.
Oogie Boogie from The Nightmare Before Christmas
Oogie Boogie (voiced by Ken Page) is the antagonist of the 90s stop motion animated film The Nightmare Before Christmas. Finding himself at odds with Jack Skellington, Oogie Boogie also manages to kidnap Sally to lure the Pumpkin King to his dungeon-like lair. Oogie Boogie is a boogeyman made of a burlap sack filled with countless brightly colored bugs that he’s eaten. Under certain lighting in his lair, he glows a bright green color. If you don’t want to shell out for the prestige costume below, you can get creative with a baggy dress and shoes (though it may be worth the splurge for the vinyl mask). For a little extra flair, try a thin layer of glow-in-the-dark paint. And don’t forget to bring some gummy worms to fill out your costume (and maybe share with friends).
Eva from Total Drama Island
Eva (voiced by Julia Chantrey) is a competitive character on the animated series Total Drama Island. With her physical strength and aggressive attitude, she’s a fierce competitor on the Killer Bass team. Though Eva originally has trouble reining in her temper, she eventually enrolls in anger management classes and becomes closer with Gwen. Eva’s workout clothing leans into a blue color palette, and she wears her hair in a ponytail. Don’t forget a little eyeliner to fill in your eyebrows and draw on Eva’s signature beauty mark.
Jo from Total Drama
Jo is a character from the Cartoon Network animated series Total Drama: Revenge of the Island, the fourth season of the Total Drama franchise. At different points during the series, Jo is part of both the Mutant Maggots and the Toxic Rats. Jo has dark blonde hair and wears a brownish-gray sweatshirt and comfortable grey pants with green sneakers.
Jack Skellington from The Nightmare Before Christmas
Jack Skellington (voiced by Chris Sarandon with Danny Elfman providing his singing voice) is the main character in the stop motion animated film The Nightmare Before Christmas. The King of Halloween, Jack finds himself dissatisfied with his usual holiday shenanigans, and with the help of his fellow Halloweentown residents, including Sally, Jack takes over Christmas. His bid to spread holiday cheer doesn’t go exactly as planned, but everyone ends up with a greater appreciation for the holiday season. Jack is a tall, skinny skeleton with a pinstripe suit. If you don’t want to wear a plastic mask, you could always paint your face, though that won’t achieve his immediately recognizable round face.
