Meg March from Little Women
Meg March (played by Emma Watson) is the eldest daughter of the March family in Little Women. As such, she is the only one of the children who remembers what their family life was like before they lost their fortune, which means she has more of a taste for extravagance and indulgence than her sister Jo. Meg marries sensibly for love, but not before spending much of her time putting on plays with her sisters and attending dances and balls in the most fashionable dresses she can afford (or borrow, in the case of her luxurious pink satin ballgown).
Jo March from Little Women

“Toss a coin to your wannabe god of fortune, happiness, and war,” says nobody ever, but that doesn’t stop Yato from giving his aspiration the old college try. This Noragami protagonist’s sense of fashion is contemporary for the time – in the present day, he sports a comfortable tracksuit, practical boots, and a funky gray-blue scarf (that’s supposedly an old bath towel). We eventually learn that Yato’s scared stiff that everyone will forget him, so let’s memorialize this character by re-creating his most popular outfit.

Nico Di Angelo from Percy Jackson
Nico Di Angelo is a character in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians books written by Rick Riordan. He is a half-blood, specifically the son of Hades. Upon first appearing in The Titan’s Curse, Nico is a curious and nerdy kid who enjoys collecting Mythomagic figures. Once he regains his memories and discovers his parentage, he casts aside his childhood interests and becomes more reserved. His powers are the most fearsome of any demigod. At the end of the series, he comes out and starts dating Will Solace. Nico doesn’t appear in the movie or musical adaptation, so this costume guide is based on the book’s descriptions. Use light makeup to make yourself paler and black eyeshadow to sink in your cheeks.
