Dolores Umbridge
Dolores Umbridge (Imelda Staunton) was a Ministry of Magic bureaucrat until she is appointed as the Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor at Hogwarts. Don’t let her prim and pink appearance fool you, she’s a witch of the truest sense and will use whatever means necessary to enforce the rules.
Troll Doll
Troll dolls were originally made by a Danish woodcutter and became fads in the U.S. starting in the 1960’s. They’re known for their colorful hair and lack of clothing. Though you’re technically not naked with the nude skin suit, you may still want to consider some additional coverage.
Aladdin
Aladdin falls in love with Princess Jasmine and uses the Genie’s wishes to turn him into a real prince. However his plans are thwarted by Jafar, who’s also after the Genie’s magical powers, and he must use his street smarts to outwit his enemy.
Albus Dumbledore
Professor Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore is the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He is the most powerful wizard in the world, and has some eccentric traits, like his love of knitting patterns. By serving as a mentor to Harry Potter, Dumbledore helps in the battle against Lord Voldemort.
Mommie Dearest
Mommie Dearest, better known as Joan Crawford, was a living nightmare for her children. Compulsively clean, the actress had a bizarre morning beauty regime the involved scrubbing her face with boiling hot water. While you may not want to dunk your face in rubbing alcohol, you can still achieve the Mommie Dearest look with a peel-off cucumber mask. Of course, we know the real reason you want to copy this style is because you want another excuse to scream “NO WIRE HANGERS.”
Hannibal Lecter
Hannibal is a brilliant psychologist with a twisted psyche. He leads a double life as a cannabalistic serial killer, but he doesn’t let this interfere with his sophisticated and cultured personality. Instead, he prefers to eat his victims with fava beans and a nice Chianti.
The Man in the Yellow Hat
Curious George’s human companion, the Man in the Yellow Hat, takes his name from his attire. Little is known about this mystery guy other than his propensity to dress in yellow. Although if you’re going to hang out with a monkey it makes sense that you would want to dress like a giant banana.
Where’s Waldo?
V for Vendetta
In V for Vendetta, an activist going by the name V starts a violent campaign to bring down a totalitarian government and free the people to rule for themselves. The mask he wears of the real-life Guy Fawkes has been adopted, in turn, by the real-life Anonymous and the Occupy movements.
