Josie from Bottoms

Josie is a character from the film Bottoms, and is played by Ayo Edebiri. Bottoms follows Josie and her best friend PJ who are seniors at Rock Ridge High School. They create a fight club together at their school to get the attention of her crush Brittany.

Josie has a more quiet and calm personality compared to PJ and this reflects into her costumes. While PJ sticks to warm colors, Josie wears cool ones with lots of blue and green. One recognizable costume is her blue rugby oversized shirt that would make a great duo/matching costume with Josie in the scene that wears a red one. Her other costume is a green jacket, a velvet graphic shirt, a half-heart necklace, and an arm sling.

Murray from White Noise

Murray is a character from the film White Noise by Noah Baumbach, and is played by Don Cheadle. The film is based on the original 1985 novel by Don DeLillo. This story follows college professor Jack Gladney and his family as they’re faced with “The Airborne Toxic Event.” They’re forced to evacuate their home and ultimately face their fear of death throughout the film and we see how each of them cope with this in their own ways. Murray is professor at the same college that Jack works at. He is very passionate about his studies and enjoys discussing them with Jack. He seems to be very clear-headed in times of trouble and stands strong in what he believes in, and offers advice and new perspectives to Jack because of this.

Murray’s costumes consist of plenty of tweed pieces like blazers, vests, and dress pants. He wears this when working at the college and mixes colors and prints when it comes to shirts and ties for pops of color. When we see him in the grocery store outside of work, he has a very fun costume moment where he wears a loud, colorful 80s teal and blue windbreaker over his work clothes.

Rebecca-Diane from Theater Camp

Rebecca-Diane is a character from the film Theater Camp and is played by Molly Gordon. The film follows Rebecca-Diane and Amos who have to join forces with other teachers in an upstate New York theater camp after the founder falls into a coma. These eccentric characters have to work together to keep the place running before opening night.

Rebecca-Diane has a style that follows trends but is also slightly mis-matched. She typically wears a sweater vest over a white shirt, a floral maxi skirt, and even adds a cream cardigan at one point. She always wears a light blue ribbon in her hair and a brown necklace that is similar to the one Amos wears.

Lucy from The Hunger Games: Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes

Lucy is a character from the new Hunger Games film releasing this November: Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes and is played by Rachel Zegler. The Hunger Games series of films are based off of the original books by Suzanne Collins. This film takes place 64 years before the original Hunger Games we know. In this new film we get to see Coriolanus Snow at 18 years old who is assigned to mentor Lucy of District 12 as the 10th annual Hunger Games approaches.

Lucy’s iconic costume is one that both features trends of today, historic inspired pieces, and a fantastical flare. She wears a canvas corset top that appears to be hand-painted with images of flowers and snakes that create the e age of a bow. There are also ribbons where the shoulder straps meet the bodice. This can be re-created by wearing a canvas floral fashion corset top and adding ribbon, or taking or creating a blank one and then hand painting with fabric paints. Under that she wears a “peasant” top which is historically inspired. It’s ruffled with a square neckline and poofy sleeves. Under this she wears a maxi tulle ruffled layered skirt that can be recreated by starting with a white skirt as the base and dyeing it in layers. The skirt linked here is synthetic, so using synthetic Rit dye will be very effective for this look.

In the iconic ballet performance scene, she wears bright red ballet shoes that tie up with ribbon,  white tights, a blush or cream long tulle skirt, a leotard with appliqués and a blue bow in her hair. If you enjoy sewing and want to add the blue details to her top, sew or attach a blue ruffle/pleated trim along the edge that matches her hair bow.

PJ from Bottoms

PJ is a character from the film Bottoms, and is played by Rachel Sennott. Bottoms follows PJ and her best friend Josie who are seniors at Rock Ridge High School. They create a fight club together at their school to get the attention of her crush Brittany.

PJ has a big personality compared to Josie and this reflects into her costumes. While Josie sticks to cool colors, PJ wears warm ones with lots of red. One recognizable costume is her red rugby s oversized shirt that would make a great duo/matching costume with Josie in the scene that wears a blue one. Add a bandage to your nose and makeup to create a bruised eye to complete the look. Another look is this bold and colorful outfit with a multicolored striped shirt, black suspenders, and brown corduroy pants.

Amos from Theater Camp

Alphonse Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist (Conqueror of Shamballa)

Alphonse (voiced in Japanese by Rie Kugimiya and in English by Aaron Dismuke) is the deurotagonist of the Fullmetal Alchemist series, in tandem with his older brother, Ed.

This will be covering specifically how Al looks during the majority of the 2003 movie entry in the series, Conqueror of Shamballa, which acts as a conclusion to that iteration of the series. He is seen as a slightly younger than usual version of himself, in human form instead of the large, bulky armor form that we normally see him in.

During this movie, Al is very similar in appearance to how Ed is in the majority of the rest of the series, as he’s wearing his old jacket. His hair is like it is during the flashbacks, in the same dark golden hue, and his eyes are a gentle brown. The black underjacket he wears is a slightly different form than Ed’s, and he wears matching black pants, with brown boots. The final part of the outfit is a pair of white gloves that he wears with transmutation aids drawn onto them, so that he can use alchemy in the same way that Ed does.

Orin Scrivello, DDS from Little Shop of Horrors
