Nicki Minaj
Nicki Minaj is a songwriter and rapper known as much for her bubblegum outfits and music videos as her chart-topping singles.
Red Riding Hood
In Red Riding Hood, Valerie (Amanda Seyfried) lives in a village that’s being terrorized by a werewolf. You’d think she’d wear something more low key than a bright red cape.
Alice, Sweet Alice
In Alice, Sweet Alice, a person in a translucent mask and yellow raincoat kills Karen Spages (Brooke Shields) on her day of First Communion. All eyes turn to her older sister Alice (Paula Sheppard), who has a jealous streak and has the same yellow coat.
King of Queens
Doug Heffernan (Kevin James) is the King of Queens, a delivery driver for the International Parcel Service — absolutely no relation to the UPS. His delivery routes get him around, making cameos on Everybody Loves Raymond, Becker, and Cosby.
Shrek
Shrek (voiced by Mike Myers) is an ogre who prides himself on being big, green, and terrifying. He embarks on a quest to save Princess Fiona, and they fall in love despite their differences. For this costume, the vest will need tweaking to get the same cropped look.
Hans and Franz
On Saturday Night Live, Hans and Franz (Dana Carvey and Kevin Nealon) are a pair of Austrian bodybuilders who flex their muscles for skinny “girlie men” and teach how to “pump you up”. Any resemblance to Arnold Schwarzenegger is strictly coincidental.
Seymour Parrish
In One Hour Photo, Seymour “Sy” Parrish (Robin Williams) is a photo technician at SavMart. His has little to speak of outside of work, but works hard to do a good job. He fantasizes about the happiness and affection he sees in the photos, to the point that it starts creeping out his customers.
King Hippo
In Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out!!, King Hippo is a boxer from Hippo Island. Both his girth and face resemble a hippopotamus. He has helpfully taped an X over his belly, which gives Mac a target to aim for when trying to hit King Hippo’s weak spot.
