Ladybug from Bullet Train
Ladybug (played by Brad Pitt) is the protagonist of the action comedy Bullet Train. An assassin deep in therapy, Ladybug is sent to fetch a silver case belonging to The White Death from the titular train, only for things to go wildly off the rails. Ladybug must fight a number of others including Lemon, Tangerine, and The Hornet, in pursuit of his quarry. Ladybug has shaggy blonde hair and boards the train with a beige bucket hat and dark-framed glasses. His outfit also includes charcoal pants, a green jacket, white tee, and white sneakers. The Breitling timepiece Ladybug wears in the movie can set you back a pretty penny, so opt for a more budget-friendly pilot watch instead to complete the look.
Julius and Vincent Benedict from Twins
Julius and Vincent Benedict (played by Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito, respectively) are the unlikely title characters of the ’80s comedy Twins. When Julius, the result of an experiment designed to create the perfect man, discovers he has a twin brother, he goes in search of Vincent, a petty criminal who is his exact opposite in almost every way. The characters wear multiple costumes throughout the film, but some of their best looks are those they choose to match. You can emulate their twinning style with a pal by choosing a short sleeve button-down with a busy print reminiscent of the 80s paired with a light-colored suit, brown boat shoes, and basic sunglasses.
The White Death from Bullet Train
The White Death (played by Michael Shannon) is the boogeyman bad guy who orchestrates the events of Bullet Train. The White Death is a larger-than-life force alluded to throughout the film, responsible for wiping out an entire crime syndicate but now known to live in seclusion following the death of his wife. He brings together the people he deems responsible for this loss in order to exact revenge, but is surprised when his daughter is on the train as well. The White Death is an imposing figure with long hair and a plethora of tattoos. His two main looks are a black suit with a red demon mask in flashbacks and a long yukata-like robe over a white dress shirt and slacks when he arrives on the train. Whichever you choose to recreate, you’ll start with a grey wig, dark slacks, and a white dress shirt. Then, add the pieces you need to achieve either look in full.
Bugs Bunny from Space Jam
Bugs Bunny is one of the most iconic of the Looney Tunes and has existed in many different iterations, including as a basketball player in Space Jam and Space Jam: A New Legacy. Playing opposite NBA superstars including Michael Jordan and LeBron James, Bugs must rally his friends to defend the Earth from an intergalactic threat by winning against the Goon Squad on the court. To dress like Basketball Bugs, you’ll need to start with a rabbit costume like a onesie and layer a basketball uniform over top. You can add additional details like gloves and slippers, or opt for a set of bunny ears instead of the hood. Likewise, if you want to take it to the next level, you can sew or glue a rabbit tail to the outside of your chosen uniform’s shorts.

Duke arrives for the weekend wearing pink pants, tan boots, and a jaguar-printed button-down. His gun is always close at hand, including when Duke takes a dip in the pool and arrives at dinner wearing khakis, slides, and a long-sleeved shirt printed with chains and coral.

Larry works as the night security guard at the Museum of Natural History in New York City where the exhibits, including wax statues of historical figures like Teddy Roosevelt, come to life. Larry’s security uniform is fairly standard, though you can add an iron-on patch to the left arm to get closer to his look from the movies. If an official one can’t be found, consider a fun “Night at the Museum” version as a fun nod to the franchise.
Birdie Jay from Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery
Birdie Jay (played by Kate Hudson) is a former model in Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery. Birdie isn’t the brightest of her friend group, which includes politician Claire Debella and scientist Lionel Toussaint, but she’s more than excited to abscond from quarantine life to a private Greek island for a murder mystery weekend at the bequest of Miles Bron. Her stunning metallic rainbow gown worn at dinner is custom-made for the movie, and the nearest couture inspiration is nearly impossible to track down, so don’t be afraid to stray from the film to find a fittingly colorful floor-length multicolor dress, paired with colorful eye makeup. Birdie also wears a breezy jumpsuit with an oversized hat on the boat ride to the island, if you’re feeling a little more boho than black tie.
