Cartoons
Ember Lumen from Elemental
Ember Lumen (voiced by Leah Lewis) is the protagonist of the Disney and Pixar film Elemental. Ember is made of fire and struggles to maintain her temper. She loves her parents and helps them run their shop even though it isn’t her dream. After she meets Wade Ripple, Ember eventually learns to reel in her temper and go after what she really wants. To recreate Ember’s fiery look, you’ll need to be a little creative. Layering sheer red pieces beneath your dress and jacket will help you appear more flame-like. Use a bodysuit, pants, and heels, as well as opera gloves. Ruched or fluttery pieces will evoke more of the rippling flame appearance Ember has in the movie. You can tuck the pants into your heels to help them taper at the bottom. Ember’s dress is sleeveless and high-collared with a diamond-like pattern. You can choose a longer-sleeved version or layer a beaded dress over a plain black one. Finish the look with a flame wig, a colorful bomber jacket, and a gold belt.
Richie Rich from Harvey Girls Forever!
Richie Rich is a character in the Netflix animated series Harvey Girls Forever! He is based on the Harvey Comics counterpart. As his name suggests, he comes from a wealthy background, though Richie Rich is a good kid and remains curious despite his intelligence. Jack Quaid, who you may recognize as Hughie Campbell in The Boys, voices this character.
Human Shrek from Shrek 2
In Shrek 2, the usually unattractive ogre Shrek finds himself temporarily transformed into a handsome human. In his new form, he must thwart Fairy Godmother‘s plan to have Fiona fall in love with Prince Charming. Because his body changes size when he transforms, Shrek must steal new clothes when he becomes a human. His new look includes dark green leggings, a tunic, and a red and green vest. You may not be able to find an exact match for his vest, so choose one with a similar color palette or a silhouette. Finish your look with a great head of brown hair, and brown shoes.
Eiri Yuki from Gravitation
Yuki (voiced in Japanese by Kazuhiko Inoue and in English by Rome Elliot) is the secondary main character of the anime/manga series, Gravitation.
He is a romance novelist with a huge backlog of personal trauma, and immediately butts heads with Shuichi from the moment they meet. They do eventually mostly work things out, and move into a relationship with each other.
Yuki has bronzeish gold eyes, and loose, semi-long golden hair, partially worn over one eye. Like Shuichi, he has a few different outfits throughout the series, though mostly in the same colorscheme. For this one, he wears a deep blue button-up shirt, with a black, open casual blazer over top, and black slacks. In his left ears, he wears a small, silver hoop earring.
Sylvester the Cat from Looney Tunes
Sylvester J. Pussycat, Sr. (originally voiced by Mel Blanc) is one of the Looney Tunes. A black and white cat, Sylvester has a lisp and uses the catchphrase, “Sufferin’ succotash,” often during his skirmishes with Tweety Bird. To recreate Sylvester’s look, you have a few choices. Replica costumes do exist which include a full-head mask designed to closely resemble the cartoon character. Pair this with white animal paw gloves and slippers to complete the look. Alternately, if full-face masks aren’t your thing, you could use a black and white onesie with the same gloves and slippers, and simply add a black and white cat tail and ears to your costume. As long as you take the time to memorize Sylvester’s signature phrase, there will be no doubt which cat you’re trying to emulate.
Soul Evans from Soul Eater
Soul (voiced in Japanese by Kōki Uchiyama and in English by Micah Solusod), is the titular character of the anime/manga Soul Eater.
He generally shares the main character spot with his meister, Maka, who he cares deeply for despite the two of them nearly constantly bickering with each other. Soul is a scythe-based weapon, capable of transforming a singular limb, or his entire body, into a blade for Maka to wield.
Soul has white, spiky hair, often worn up with a patched headband, bright red eyes, and a mouthful of extremely sharp teeth. His early series outfit consists of a black and golden yellow jacket with soul emblems on it, burgundy pants, and chunky shoes in the same color and style as his jacket.
Uzi from Murder Drones
Uzi Doorman (voiced by Elsie Lovelock) is the protagonist and anti-heroine of the web series Murder Drones. Uzi is a Worker Drone who befriends Serial Designation N. They work together to stop Serial Designation J from eradicating the Worker Drones. Uzi has purple hair and wears a black striped beanie, purple striped socks, and black boots. Her primary clothing consists of a black hoodie with a battery and crossbones on it. You can recreate your own with a long hoodie and some fabric paint, or purchase a replica sweatshirt to pair with your robot bodysuit.
Xerxes Break from Pandora Hearts
Break (voiced by Akira Ishida) is one of the secondary main characters of the Pandora Hearts anime/manga series.
He’s an absolute menace of a man with a deep backstory, and is connected to the main characters by serving under Sharon‘s family, the Rainsworths. Currently, he is contracted to the Mad Hatter chain, like Reim with the March Hare, though it takes a toll on his body to use it.
Break has short, fluffy white hair, with a purple gradient over top (stylized shading), and one dull red eye, with the missing one covered by white wrap bandages. He wears an elaborate jacket and shirt combination, with his undershirt being a high, ruffled collar, long sleeved purple, with a white off-shoulder long jacket over top, and a black cravat tying it all together. This is finished off with rolled cuff black pants, and white boots with black and purple detailing.
Yukako Yamagishi
Yukako Yamagishi is a side character in Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable. She is a resident of Morioh who attends school with the main characters.
