Noodle from Gorillaz

Noodle (voiced currently by Haruka Abe) is the mysterious lead guitarist of the virtual band, Gorillaz. As a small child, she introduced herself with the one word that became her band stage name, and joined Gorillaz after the unceremonious departure of their prior guitarist. Since the band’s 1998 formation, Noodle has grown up and gone through several aesthetic phases. Now age 29, she sports dark bluish hair and a punky fashion sense.

For this costume, I’ve combined two outfits, one from character concept art and another from the “Saturnz Barz” music video, where she wears an unusual pair of sunglasses. We suggest buying two pairs of inexpensive sunglasses and switching out one of the lenses.

Liliruca Arde

Liliruca Arde, or “Lili” for short, is a character in the anime Is It Wrong to Try and Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? Originally, Lili was a member of the Soma Familia. However, after receiving her freedom following the War Game, she converted to the Hestia Familia. Considered the “brain” of the Familia, she is incredibly strategic and resourceful. Lili often uses her experience to gather information and complete tasks. She’s quite amazed at how often Bell gets himself into trouble.

fuka reventon from vivid strike

Fuka Reventon from ViVid Strike!

Fuka Reventon (voiced by Inori Minase) is a magical martial artist in the ViVid Strike! anime series.  Fuka is apprenticed to Einhard Stratos.  Fuka’s normal appearance is relatively straightforward, but cosplaying her Adult Mode with Barrier Jacket will take a little more patience and creativity.  To recreate the top of her look, you can layer a black crop tank with a white leather vest painted with green leather paint to match the stripes.  For the bottom portion of the outfit, layer a pair of black shorts with a white leather skirt, split open in the front if possible and painted with the same green paint as the vest.  Then, you can add a ruffled petticoat with a train, though you will need to cut some material from the front to create the v-split.  Finally, add a black leather waist harness to pull the look together.

Leni Loud from The Loud House

Leni Loud from The Loud House

Leni Loud (voice by Liliana Mumy) is the second oldest child of the titular Loud family on Nickelodeon’s The Loud House. She is a stereotypical ‘dumb blonde’ in some ways. But her kind heart and unique skill set make up for it.

She usually wears her long blonde hair down and favors the color mint green. Her taste for fashion means that she changes her costume fairly often as well. But her most common look is a short dress, flip flops, and round white sunglasses like those worn in the ’60s.

Hisoka Morow from Hunter x Hunter

Hisoka Morow from Hunter x Hunter

Hisoka may take his fashion inspiration from jesters but that doesn’t mean he’s here to play. He only spends his time on those strong enough to challenge him. Anything less is just beneath him.

It’s a little hard to pin down a specific look for Hisoka. He’s had more than a couple of looks that include changes in the way he layers his clothes as well as the coloring. But the cosplay written up here is completely Hisoka. Anything less would be a waste of time. And Hisoka wouldn’t stand for it!

There is a fair amount of DIY with this cosplay, at least in terms of painting and cutting. You’ll need to use yellow fabric paint around the arms of the crop top and decorate it with a heart a a diamond using purple fabric paint. Once that has dried you can cut the arms off the turtleneck so that it is completely hidden by the cuffs of the crop top. You’ll need to do some DIY with your wig as well and add in the purple sides using hair chalk.

With those done you just need white harem pants, gray leg wraps, and black boots. After that all you need is to paint on the heart a tear drop Hisoka has on his face and you’re ready to go!

Neon Katt from RWBY Costume

Neon Katt from RWBY

“Never miss a beat!” Neon Katt (Meg Turney) is a highly competitive Huntress in training, whom Team RWBY first encounters during the Vytal Festival competition that pits top student Huntsmen against each other. Naturally, Neon didn’t hesitate to trash talk her opponents and spin around them in rainbow circles, not unlike the Internet meme she’s named for!

eddie valiant from roger rabbit

Eddie Valiant from Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

Eddie Valiant (played by Bob Hoskins) is a hard-boiled private detective with a strong dislike for toons in Who Framed Roger Rabbit?  Eddie is hired by R.K. Maroon to investigate Jessica, the wife of Roger Rabbit, as he believes she is having an affair.  Eddie is slowly pulled into a much wider conspiracy and finds himself working closely with several toons, including Roger as they try to unravel the mystery and save Roger from the nefarious Judge Doom.  If you aren’t interested in shelling out the extra dough for the replica tie from the movie, choose one with a vintage pattern in a similar color scheme.

Batman from Harley Quinn

Batman from Harley Quinn

There are so many Batman variations that it can be a little hard to keep up with. But this version (voiced by Diedrich Bader) is unique in both his snark and the way he handles Harley Quinn. He’d have to be. This Harley isn’t your usual Harley. And when the lines between good guy and bad guy get blurred, things are bound to get interesting!

Batman’s costume in the show is pretty straightforward. He has a black cowl and a black cape that he wears over a grey body suit with the bat insignia on the chest. Because the insignia is a little different from most you can buy pre-made, you’re better off painting it on with black fabric paint. A yellow belt, black gloves, and black boots round out the look. You can add some bat-themed weapons and you’ll be ready to scour the streets of Gotham for evildoers!

pupert pesky from the buzz on maggie

Pupert Pesky from The Buzz on Maggie

Pupert Pesky (voiced by Thom Adcox-Hernandez in the series and Haley Joel Osment in the movie) is the younger brother of Maggie and Aldrin Pesky.  At eight years old, Pupert is a rambunctious kid with a sweet tooth who enjoys being included in his older siblings’ fun.  Pupert’s costume includes a teal hat, matching shoes, and a striped shirt.

Bianca Castafiore from Tintin.

Bianca Castafiore from Tintin

Bianca Castafiore is a kindhearted opera singer better known to the world as the Milanese Nightingale, although if you ask Tintin or Captain Haddock, she sounds quite awful. Herge’s heroic comic book duo seem to have a minority opinion, though, and they’ve used Bianca’s fame to their advantage while defeating globe-trotting villains. If only Señora Castafiore, who memorizes many a famous operatic piece, could get Haddock’s name right….
