Bee (played by Maria Bakalova) is a main character in the horror comedy Bodies Bodies Bodies.  Bee is dragged by her girlfriend Sophie to a hurricane party at a swanky mansion owned by David‘s parents.  There, she participates in a murder mystery party game that soon turns deadly.  Bee has blonde hair and wears black shorts with a graphic printed tee layered over a black long sleeve shirt and under a blue button-down.  At one point, she changes her clothes and borrows a pink cable knit sweater from the absentee lady of the house to replace her blood-stained shirts.

Melanie Cross (Samara Weaving) is a character in Mayhem, a movie that blends horror, comedy, action, and commentary on corporate evil. She is a client of Towers and Smythe Consulting who pleads for more time on a loan. Their lawyer, Derek Cho, turns her away and calls security on her. When the ID-7 virus spreads through the office, Derek and Melanie end up locked away together as a result of resisting security. They fight, but eventually they decide to work together to hold the higher ups responsible. Melanie’s choice of weapons are a hammer, power saw, and a nail gun, as pictured here. When the virus erases her inhibitions, she uses the rejection to fuel her vengeful killing spree.

Alice (played by Rachel Sennott) is a podcaster and part of the core group of long-time friends at the heart of the film Bodies Bodies Bodies.  Alice loves a good party and spends much of the early part of the film getting high with David.  Her new boyfriend Alex becomes a prime suspect once David is found dead, however, and the night quickly spirals out of control from there.  Alice wears black pants and strappy heeled sandals, but the most fun part of her costume consists of numerous glow necklaces and bracelets, which she sports throughout the night.  Finding a crocheted crop top that exactly matches hers might be tough, so don’t be afraid to choose one that has a similar cut, color, or pattern if you can’t find something that does all three.

Sophie (played by Amandla Stenberg) is a troubled 20-something at the heart of the A24 film Bodies Bodies Bodies.  Along with her girlfriend Bee, Sophie travels to her childhood best friend David‘s house to hunker down for a hurricane party.  But once the lights go out, the bodies start dropping and it’s impossible to know who to trust.  Sophie has blonde braids and wears heavy eyeliner.  Her outfit consists of black boots, shorts, and a brightly colored tank top.

Derek Cho (Steven Yeun) is the main character in Mayhem, a movie that blends horror, comedy, action, and commentary on corporate evil. He informs the audience about the ID-7 “Red Eye” virus, which removes all inhibition and moral integrity. In his role as a lawyer at Towers and Smythe Consulting, he found a loophole that won the case of an infected murderer. As he climbed the corporate rankings, Derek began to lose his sympathy, such as turning down Melanie’s plea for loan assistance. But then when a coworker betrays him, he sees the company’s true colors. Refusing to take the blame, Derek gets escorted out by security, where he meets Melanie. Together they work to take down the top bosses through very bloody means.

David (played by Pete Davidson) is the host of a hurricane party in the A24 horror comedy Bodies Bodies Bodies.  David brings together some of his closest friends, including Sophie and Alice, and their significant others to weather the storm.  He’s combative from the start, especially with his girlfriend Emma and Alice’s boy toy Alex.  Once the group begins to play a murder mystery game, the night quickly turns deadly.  David’s death kicks off the whodunnit plot, so don’t be afraid to get creative with a little scar wax and plenty of fake blood to recreate his bloody slit throat demise.

Zed Necrodopolis (played by Milo Manheim) is a zombie and captain of the Seabrook High football team in the Disney movie series Z-O-M-B-I-E-S.  Zed is loyal and upbeat, and believes in standing up for what is right.  He is also the boyfriend of Addison Wells.  Zed has pale skin and green hair, and often dresses in punk-inspired clothing when he’s not wearing the bright pink football uniform of his team.  Because finding an exact replica of the Seabrook High jersey can be tough, you can opt to recreate his football uniform with green fabric paint on a bright pink t-shirt.  If you’d rather dress in Zed’s non-uniform clothes, focus on distressed pieces and darker colors.  You can even layer burgundy leggings under ripped jeans or rip one sleeve of a brown pullover so it’s shorter than the other.

Ken (played by Ryan Gosling) is the hunky counterpart to the titular Barbie from the upcoming live-action film. Barbie and Ken have been iconic toys for decades, and now they’re getting the full movie treatment as dolls brought to life. Ken wears several wild outfits in the movie, including a black and white cowboy ensemble and a glaringly neon outfit with plenty of funky patterns. You may have to get a little crafty to get as close as possible to Ken’s look, so don’t be afraid to attach some fringe to your cowboy shirt with a hot glue gun. Likewise, neon sneakers can stand in for roller blades if you don’t feel like skating all night.
