Karen is a character from the new 2024 musical movie Mean Girls, and is played by Avantika Vandanapu.

Karen is a part of ‘the plastics’ which are the group of popular girls in school. She is known as the hilariously ditsy character.

Karen’s costume, like the others in this new take on the story follow current trends. One look you could recreate is this bright and trendy look that features a color-block chunky sweater and a blue crop top that ties in the front. Another is a pink look that features a pink button-front skirt, a pink tie-front sweater over a white lettuce hem top and red sunglasses.

Joe Yoo has a very simple style and a realistic one.

His style being very light, blue, and often linen fits the environment of their house by the beach well.
