Lewis

Lana from Dress To Impress
Lana is a character in the super popular Roblox game, Dress To Impress. Sheās a nail tech in the game and has caught the attention of players online who wonder what her back story is. The creator of the game has begun to add fun easter eggs throughout the game that hints at this as new updates come out.
To dress like Lana, wear a fitted white mock neck top, white skinny jeans, and white heels. She also has a gray belt which you can either wear a simple one, or go even further and craft the iconic āKā belt buckle. You can do this in different ways, but one is by sketching it on a white foam sheet, cut it out, and attach it to the belt with tape or magnets and E6000 glue. You may have to wear the actual belt buckle in the back so that you can have the solid belt on your front to attach it to. Paint your nails white and carry a pink nail file. Finally, either wear your own hair up or take a brunette wig and clip it up with a brown claw clip.
Steve from A Minecraft Movie Trailer
In the long-awaited trailer for 2025’s A Minecraft Movie, Steve (Jack Black) makes his entrance, declaring “I… Am Steve”.

Whether the theatrical release lives up to the legacy of Minecraft remains to be seen.
Korean Olympic Sharpshooter
In the Paris 2024 Summer Olympic Games, Korean sharpshooter Kim Ye-ji went viral for her futuristic steampunk/cyberpunk shooting glasses and ice-cold demeanor ā in sharp contrast to the cuddly Turkish sharpshooter. But she wasn’t all business ā she held her daughter’s small elephant plush in her left hand as she took home a silver medal for South Korean in the 10-meter air pistol women’s event.
Turkish Olympic Sharpshooter
In the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics, Turkish sharpshooter Yusuf DikeƧ went viral for his no frills setup and relaxed posture reminiscent of the average dad ā or perhaps a hitman in disguise. No earplugs, no high-tech goggles, just a hand in his pocket was enough to win him a silver medal at the 10-meter air pistol mixed team event. To go bare minimum on your costume, as Yusuf himself probably would do, all you need are black glasses, a white Turkiye shirt, and an air pistol. Add the salt-and-pepper wig or a green Nacar dive watch for the extra touch.
Raygun from the Paris 2024 Olympics
With breakdancing making its debut as an event at the 2024 Paris Summer Olympic Games, b-girl Raygun stole the show.
