Miles Wingrave from The Haunting of Bly Manor
Miles Wingrave (played by Benjamin Evan Ainsworth) is one of the children under the care of Dani Clayton in the Netflix horror series The Haunting of Bly Manor. Miles and his sister Flora are orphans living under the care of their uncle, who spends as little time at their creepy country home as possible, relying instead on Dani and Mrs. Grose to care for the children in his absence. Miles’ style includes a penchant for cozy-looking sweaters, which makes for a comfortable costume if you choose to emulate his wealthy country chic aesthetic.
Flora Wingrave from The Haunting of Bly Manor
Flora Wingrave (played by Amelie Smith) is the precious younger sister of Miles in the Netflix series The Haunting of Bly Manor. Flora quickly befriends Dani Clayton when she arrives at Bly as the new governess. She is a sweet child, though she can at times be rather off-putting and even a bit frightening. Flora’s costumes often revolve around a sweet purple and pink palette, making for a “perfectly splendid” range of options to choose from when recreating her look.
Kimi Watanabe-Finster from Rugrats
Kimi Watanabe-Finster (voiced by Dionne Quan) is the step-sister of Chuckie Finster from the Nickelodeon show Rugrats. Originally introduced in the movie Rugrats in Paris, Kimi quickly becomes a member of the crew and joins in on their adventures. Kimi is very brave, often encouraging her step-brother to take bigger risks and step out of his comfort zone. Kimi wears a pink shirt, purple cowboy boots, and a yellow bib dress with a purple cat on it. If you want to add a cat to your own dress, you can use a purple sticker or decal, or if you want to get really crafty, you could always paint one on by hand.
Angelica Pickles from Rugrats
Angelica Pickles (voiced by Cheryl Chase) is the bossy older cousin of Tommy and Dil Pickles on the Nickelodeon show Rugrats. Angelica is a spoiled child who rarely doesn’t get what she wants, which leads to her butting heads with her cousins and their friends often. Even Susie Carmichael, who is normally an ally of Angelica, sometimes has to point out when she takes it too far. Angelica has blonde hair she styles in pigtails and she wears a purple dress layered over an orange shirt and blue tights.
Phil and Lil DeVille from Rugrats
Phil and Lil DeVille (both voiced bath Kath Soucie) are the troublemaking twins of Betty and Howard DeVille on the Nickelodeon show Rugrats. Phil and Lil are alike in almost every way, including how they dress. Their pink shirts and rubber-duck adorned shirts make for a fun and colorful costume for a couple or a pair of friends.
Hannah Grose from The Haunting of Bly Manor
Hannah Grose (played by T’Nia Miller) is a pious woman and the housekeeper of Bly Manor in the Netflix series The Haunting of Bly Manor. Hannah has a deep connection to the house and is very protective of Miles and Flora Wingrave, though she can also be stern with them when necessary. Hannah can often be seen lighting candles in the chapel on the grounds. Hannah’s style is conservative, but often punctuated by color. Look for deep reds and flattering a-line midi skirts to emulate her look.
Betty DeVille from Rugrats
Betty DeVille (voiced by Kath Soucie) is the vocally feminist mother of Phil and Lil on Nickelodeon’s classic cartoon Rugrats. Betty is a bit of a tomboy, typically seen wearing comfortable sneakers, sweatpants, and her signature purple sweater with the “female symbol” on it. To recreate her iconic look, you can use a light purple sweater and a little orange fabric paint, as finding an exact replica can be fairly tricky.
Kenta Yumiya from Beyblade: Metal Fusion
Kenta Yumiya (voiced by Emiri Katou and Lisette St. Louis) is one of the main characters of the anime series Beyblade: Metal Fusion. Kenta is a novice Blader who gains confidence after befriending Gingka Hagane and striving to become more like him. Kenta has green hair and wears a yellow short-sleeved shirt with blue pants that he rolls to mid-calf. His shoes are blue and white high-tops and he eventually adds brown fingerless gloves to his outfit.
Captain Olimar from Pikmin
Captain Olimar is the main protagonist of the Nintendo series of Pikmin games. While on vacation from his home planet of Hocotate, Olimar crash lands on a foreign planet where he finds small creatures he dubs Pikmin who help him as he learns to navigate the new terrain. Olimar’s costume is reminiscent of a astronaut with a clear helmet, bodysuit, and red gloves.
Gingka Hagane from Beyblade: Metal Fusion
Gingka Hagane (voiced by Aki Kanada and Robert Tinkler) is the Number One Blader and main protagonist in the anime series Beyblade: Metal Fusion. Gingka is one of the Bladers of the Four Seasons, representing Autumn and has saved the world on multiple occasions, gaining widespread recognition for his skills. Gingka is incredibly close with Kenta Yumiya, who he views as an older brother, and is good friends with Madoka Amano. Ginka has spiky red hair and wears an orange shirt with dark pants and a red and brown belt where he stores his blades. The short sleeve jacket Gingka wears is hard to find, but you can evoke a similar look with a short-sleeved hoodie if you cut the hood off or tuck it into your shirt.
