Cosplay at Retro Con 2025
Retro Con 2025 in Philadelphia delivered a cosplay contest that was pure nostalgia and spectacle rolled into one. Fans packed […]
Kendra from Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
In Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Kendra was a classmate of April O’Neil who became the leader of the Purple Dragons Tech Club. She is an Indonesian teen who is equal parts smart and ruthless. To complete her look, draw a mole under your left eye, paint your lips bright cyan, and wear three black hoops on your right ear.
Palentine’s Mallow EX
In Pokemon Masters EX, this is the EX version of Mallow. She is a chef from the Alolan region who partners with the dragon-type Appletun. This style of her Palentine’s Day outfit reverses her color scheme and includes a red beret and chef jacket with cream skirt and pink frilly apron.
Chappell Roan from ‘The Subway’
In the music video for “The Subway”, Chappell Roan starts off with red Rapunzel-like hair that engulfs her face and body as she’s chasing a similarly entangled woman with green hair. As time goes on, her hair is stripped away, as is her baggy business suit, until she’s left with a short bob hairdo and slim outfit. For this costume, you’ll want to find the longest and bushiest red wig you can. If you’re coordinating with a friend, add a green wig to the shopping list.
Hilo
In the Hilo graphic novel series written and illustrated by Judd Winick, the titular character is a mysterious young boy who crashes to Earth. He possesses superpowers like shooting lasers from his hands and eyes, super strength, and flight, a lot like Superman. He approaches everything with wonder and has undying loyalty to his human friends D.J. and Gina.
Maya Mason from The Studio
In The Studio, Maya Mason (Kathryn Hahn) is the Hollywood movie exec with a foul mouth and hypebeast fashion. Her streetwear covers every brand under the sun, from the browns and beiges of Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Burberry, and Coach, to the splashes of bright color from Stüssy, Kith, Adidas, and Supreme. The head of marketing is all about the bottom line, getting hella hyped over a Kool-Aid movie’s box office potential over any artsy-fartsy film from Ron Howard or Martin Scorsese.
Princess Clara from Drawn Together
In Drawn Together, Princess Clara (voiced by Tara Strong) is a fairytale princess who resembles Disney princesses like Ariel from The Little Mermaid and Aurora from Sleeping Beauty, especially with her beautiful singing voice and friendship with animals. Unlike them however, she is shown to be spoiled and pampered, with a streak of bigotry.
Jason Duval from Grand Theft Auto 6
In Grand Theft Auto VI, Jason Duval is the criminal protagonist who is affiliated with drug smugglers on the Leonida Keys. He partners with ex-con Lucia Caminos to go on a crime spree in the spirit of Bonnie and Clyde.
Drexl Spivey from True Romance
In True Romance, Drexl Spivey (Gary Oldman) is a pimp and drug dealer from Detroit. He takes in Alabama Whitman, a wayward girl from Florida, before her new husband Clarence Worley takes her away. Drexl is enraged and demands compensation. Barely recognizable in this role, Oldman’s character sports dreadlocks, gold teeth, and tribal jewelry.
