Princess Leia
In the Star Wars original trilogy, Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) is the princess of Alderaan who’s captured by Darth Vader, and later by Jabba the Hut. But Leia’s not your typical damsel-in-distress, and shows she’s not afraid to wield a blaster or even the chains that bind her. Complete her looks by following this Princess Leia makeup tutorial.
Party Down
Party Down is a catering company made up of wannabe Hollywood actors and writers, including Henry Pollard (Adam Scott), Casey Klein (Lizzy Caplan), Kyle Bradway (Ryan Hansen), Constance Carmell (Jane Lynch), and Roman DeBeers (Martin Starr). They’re managed by the straight-laced Ron Donald (Ken Marino), who dreams of someday opening his own Soup R’ Crackers franchise.
Victor Pulak

Where’s Waldo?
Apollo Creed
In the Rocky series, Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers) is the The Master of Disaster, The King of Sting, The Prince of Punch, and the Undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the World. He throws Rocky Balboa a bone by giving him a shot at the title. Little does he know that they’d become nemeses, and later best buds.
Maverick from Top Gun
In Top Gun, Pete “Maverick” Mitchell (Tom Cruise) is one of the top fighter pilots in the Navy. His moves catch the eye of his wingmen and work their magic when enemies are locked onto his tail and ready to shoot their missiles into him. Volleyball and suntan lotion are not included.
Mr. Peanut
Mr. Peanut, born Bartholomew Richard Fitzgerald-Smythe, has been the dapper face of the Planters snack food company since 1916. He always dresses to the nines, at least on his head, hands, and feet.
Utz Girl
The Utz Girl is the face of a snacking empire stretching from Hanover, Pennsylvania to Baltimore, Maryland. You might consider accessorizing with the crab chips, but go with the original potato chips for the classic look. And most important of all, remember that Utz are better than nuts.
