Frank is a character in the thriller/drama film Don’t Worry Darling, and is played by Chris Pine. The story follows Alice, a housewife who lives with Jack in a seemingly perfect community called Victory in the 1950s. Throughout the film, Alice begins to discover dark secrets about her life at Victory and about Frank, who is the founder and leader of the Victory Project and Jack’s boss.

Frank has a very cool and timeless style to each of his costumes. All of them are typically black and white. His suits are simple, but at one sunny gathering by the pool with his community, he wears a more casual outfit that features a simple black and white bowling-style shirt, black sunglasses, straight leg black pants, and always a brown watch.

Asbel (voiced by Yoji Matsuda and Shia LaBeouf) is a main character in the anime feature film Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind.  Asbel meets the titular princess Nausicaä after his city is attacked.  Asbel has dark brown hair and wears very muted colors.  To recreate his look from the film, you’ll need brown shoes, beige pants, and a tan shirt.  He wears a brown pilot’s cap and a brown belt.  Asbel also dons a darker jacket and brown gloves as well as cream colored scarf which he wraps around his mouth to protect himself from the toxic air.

Doctor Barbie is a character in the hit 2023 movie Barbie, directed by Greta Gerwig. She is the resident doctor in Barbie Land. Ken visits Doctor Barbie after hurting himself the beach (trying to impress Barbie, of course). She is portrayed by transgender actress Hari Nef. Her appearance in the movie sends a supportive message to the transgender community.

Harry Burns is from the 1989 movie When Harry Met Sally and is played by Billy Crystal. When Harry Met Sally is a rom-com set in New York about Harry Burns and Sally Albright who keep running into each other throughout their lives until they meet again in a bookshop. They attempt to stay platonic friends and eventually end up together.

Harry Burns is one of the two protagonists in the story. He is a carefree and opinionated character as we see in his conversations with Sally. His wardrobe is one that is still stylish today and perfect for fall and winter. He wears blue jeans, white sneakers, blazers, and comfy cable-knit sweaters. The textures of his costumes fit perfectly into the environment.

Eloise is from the film Last Night in Soho, and is played by Thomasin McKenzie. Eloise is an aspiring fashion designer and begins university in London to study fashion where she learns she is able to enter the 1960s and transforms into an aspiring singer named Sandie at night. During the day she begins to transform elements of her look to resemble Sandie’s.

Elouise arrives to London wearing fun mixed prints and layering with a dress that she designed and made on her own. She wears a sheer cheetah print shirt underneath a navy overall-style dress with black lace tights and of course her headphones. Later she wears a white coat she buys to resemble Sandie’s, and styles her hair the same. As night and day starts to blend together, she wears leftover black smudged liner from a Halloween party with a black dress under the coat.

Jane Henderson (played by Nastassja Kinski) is the wife of Travis Henderson in the film Paris, Texas.  Travis reappears after four years missing and sets out to find Jane with their young son.  They discover Jane in Houston, where she works at a peep show.  Her most iconic costume from the film is by far the hot pink sweater she dons during her first interaction with Travis.  It’s hard to find an exact match for her low-back hot pink fuzzy sweater, but there are many sweater dresses that offer similar silhouettes or textures.  Wearing a low-neck dress backward can help imitate the cut of Jane’s sweater from the film.  Complete the look with hot pink lips and shoes to match, as well as black stockings and a short blond wig.

Tyler (portrayed by C. Thomas Howell) is a friend of Elliott‘s older brother Mike in Stephen Spielberg’s 1980s classic E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.  Tyler is at first a bit dismissive of E.T. and Elliott, but eventually helps them both escape authorities so E.T. can go home.  Tyler has wavy brown hair and wears light-wash jeans, a red t-shirt, black and white shoes, and a grey bomber jacket during the bicycle chase portion of the film.
