Fred Flintstone
Fred Flintstone lives in the town of Bedrock with his wife Wilma and daughter Pebbles. Although short-tempered and prone to acting immaturely, Fred is a loving caveman at heart and cares deeply for his family and friends.
Julia McCullough
In The Prestige, Julia McCullough (Piper Perabo) is the wife of famed magician, Robert Angier. She is the former assistant to Milton the Magician, whose shills were Angier and future rival, Alfred Borden. When a water tank trick goes wrong and Julia drowns, Angier blames Borden, which begins the feud between the two magicians.
Nikola Tesla
Based on the real-life inventor, Nikola Tesla (David Bowie) is commissioned by the magician, Robert Angier, to build a teleportation device. It is Angier’s hope that this illusion will help him defeat his rival, Alfred Borden.
Phoenix / Jean Grey
A telepath and telekinetic whose powers rival that of Professor X’s, Jean Grey (Famke Janssen) of X-Men: The Last Stand is no longer the kind, sweet woman of the previous two movies. After drowning while saving the rest of the team, Jean is resuscitated by a dark, evil, extremely powerful force called the Phoenix. As the Phoenix, Jean Grey joins with Magneto in his battle against humans and her true potential is unleashed in a fiery fury, resulting in tragedy. The Phoenix wears all red, reflecting her connection to fire.
Princess Jasmine in Red
While Princess Jasmine’s (Linda Larkin) classic outfit is teal blue in color, she briefly wears red after Jafar (Jonathon Freeman) takes control of the Genie (Robin Williams) and all of Agrabah. She uses her feminine wiles to distract Jafar and give Aladdin (Scott Weinger) time to trick Jafar into wishing he was a genie. In this case, the costume matches her fiery, independent personality.
Kristen McKay
From the 2008 film The Strangers, Kristen McKay (Liv Tyler) is the female protagonist of this tale of horror alongside her lover James Hoyt.
The Man in Black from the Dark Tower
An immortal, evil sorcerer who delights in causing death and devastation, The Man in Black (Matthew McConaughey) is the powerful villain in the 2017 movie adaptation of Stephen King’s novel The Dark Tower. In this first installment of the series, The Man in Black- also known as Walter Padick – goes up against protagonist and Gunslinger Roland Deschain (Idris Elba) in a battle to protect the Tower. If the Tower falls, as the Man in Black wants, all the many universes linked to it will be destroyed. As expected, the Man in Black dresses entirely in black.
Thelma the Cigarette Girl
In The Aviator, Howard Hughes has a brief flirtation with Thelma (Josie Maran), the cigarette girl in a supper club. Cigarette girls worked in speakeasies and clubs during the 1920’s, offering cigarettes, cigars, or other novelties from a tray they carried around their neck. Similar to a cocktail waitress, this tipped position was given to young, attractive women who were typically dressed similar to saloon girls, flappers, or burlesque dancers. Due to their portrayal in film, cigarette girls became a staple and grew in popularity until the end of Prohibition, when they moved to public nightclubs. Thelma’s outfit is similar to a belly dancer and can be achieved with similar clothing, though the belly dance skirt will need to be cut to the appropriate length. Cigarette trays are an expensive vintage item now, but they can be easily made with a shallow box and some ribbon.
Jake Chambers
A young boy with powerful psychic abilities, Jake Chambers (Tom Taylor) follows his visions to a portal to another dimension called Mid-World in the 2017 adaption of Stephen King’s novel the Dark Tower. In this western-style parallel universe he befriends Roland Deschain, the last Gunslinger, and comes up against the Man in Black. The Man in Black wants to use Jake’s powers to destroy the Tower that links all universes; Jake and Roland set out to stop him. Jake dresses like all other boys his age do, in a casual hoodie, jeans and plaid shirt.
Pin-Up Girl
Pin-Up Girl (Laura Margolis) is the classy looking second female killer from The Strangers franchise alongside The Man in The Mask and Dollface. She is recognized by her 40’s female mask, her orange blouse, and large knife she swings.
