Phoenix Buchanan
In Paddington 2, Phoenix Buchanan (Hugh Grant) is an egostical ex-actor on the West End who now resorts to dog food commercials to make ends meet.

General Leia Organa from The Last Jedi
In Star Wars: The Last Jedi, General Leia Organa (Carrie Fisher) is on the deck of her flagship Raddus when the crew is expelled into deep space. Using the Force, Leia makes her way back to the ship and suppresses Poe Dameron. With the help of her brother Luke Skywalker, who distracts Kylo Ren, she makes her escape aboard the Millennium Falcon. For this costume, the star pieces are definitely the dazzling jewelry Leia wears, which stands out even more against her simple clothing.
Jeanette Miller from Alvin and the Chipmunks
In Alvin and the Chipmunks, Jeanette Miller (voiced by Janice Karman) is the second of the Chipettes, younger than Brittany and older than Eleanor. She is the absent-minded professor type of the group, gifts with extraordinary intelligence that leaves her contemplating the universe while tripping over her own feet and knocking things over. In a sense she’s most similar to Theodore, but gets along best with Simon due to their shared interests. Jeanette has brown hair and green or blue eyes, and her signature color is purple.
Joker from Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker
In Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker, it’s the year 2040 and Bruce Wayne has retired from crime-fighting, passing on the mantle of Batman to high schooler Terry McGinnis. This is when Joker (voiced by Mark Hamill) resurfaces in Neo-Gotham City, taking over the Jokerz gang and going on a crime spree.
Roxanne from A Goofy Movie
In Disney’s A Goofy Movie, Roxanne (voiced by Kellie Martin) is Max’s high school crush. She’s the total package — beautiful, popular, and kind. Even though Max is rather unpopular, Roxanne also has a crush on him, although she’s too shy to say anything about it.
General Leia Organa from The Force Awakens
In Star Wars: The Force Awakens, it’s been 30 years since Return of the Jedis, and Leia Organa (Carrie Fisher) is now a battle weary general for the Resistance. Leia is also heartbroken, having lost Ben Solo / Kylo Ren, who she mothered with Han Solo, to the dark side. A far cry from her Princess Leia costumes, she now wears a jumpsuit that’s much more practical for battle.
Magenta from Rocky Horror Picture Show
In The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Magenta (Patricia Quinn) is a domestic who is in attendance at the Annual Transylvanian Convention, along with her brother and servant Riff Raff, the host Dr. Frank-N-Furter, and groupie Columbia.
Joe Gardner from Soul
In Pixar’s Soul, Joe Gardner (voiced by Jamie Foxx) is a middle school music teacher who has a lifelong dream of being an onstage jazz performer. It looks like he’ll finally get his big break when he impresses other jazz musicians as an opening act when he has an accident, which causes his soul to separate from his body to get transported to the You Seminar, where he must help souls develop passions before being transported to newborns. Joe’s costume is drab and not too flashy, although his stylish hat hints at the passion brimming underneath.
Barbie from Toy Story
In Toy Story 3, Barbie is a pretty blonde doll who ends up being donated to Sunnyside Daycare with Andy’s toys, including Woody. There she meets Ken, who seems to be her the boy of her dreams. Barbie’s outfit is based on an 80s look, when aerobics, leg warmers, and bright fluorescent colors were in.
