Gregory Montague from Romeo + Juliet (1996)
Greg Heffley
Greg Heffley is the protagonist and narrator of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books. He is a middle school student who isn’t really all that likable. Like any pre-teen, he doesn’t think before he acts. While he has some moments of caring and kindness, his paranoia often gets the better of him. His brothers are Rodrick and Manny, and his best friend is Rowley Jefferson. This costume guide shows you how to dress as Greg in the book and the live-action movie adaptation, where Zachary Gordon portrays the character.

Waymond Wang from Everything Everywhere All at Once
Waymond Wang (played by Ke Hyu Quan) is the husband of Evelyn and father of Joy in the A24 film Everything Everywhere All at Once. Waymond (or, at least, a version of him) is the person who first alerts Evelyn to the existence of multiple universes and enlists her to help put a stop to Jobu Tupaki, the great evil threatening them all. Waymond wears glasses when he is from the same universe as Evelyn, but takes them off when his other self jumps into his consciousness. He wears a green striped shirt and cargo pants and has a fanny pack that he uses as a devasting weapon.
Wayne from X
Wayne (played by Martin Henderson) is the producer behind The Farmer’s Daughters, the porn flick at the heart of Ti West’s Texas-based horror movie X. Wayne is a standard southern cowboy, with long curly hair, a twang, and a white cowboy hat. He is the older boyfriend of Maxine, who he left his previous wife for. Wayne wears a pretty generic outfit with dark jeans and a white hat, but his costume also includes a gold watch, which speaks to his larger aspirations. During the film, he also shows that he wears a pair of extremely revealing skivvies under his jeans, so if you’re going for authenticity, you may want to invest in a set of men’s white bikini underwear.
Maxine from X
Maxine (played by Mia Goth) is an up-and-coming adult film star in Ti West’s X. Maxine is a small-town girl with big dreams who follows her boyfriend to a secluded farm in Texas to shoot a porn movie with co-stars Bobby-Lynne and Jackson that is supposed to be her big break. Things don’t go quite to plan, however, and Maxine and the others find themselves fighting for their lives instead of hitting it big. Maxine has a very appropriately-70s look about her. She begins the film wearing a striped tube top and shorts, while later changing into denim shortalls and boots, both of which are part of her film costume. She also wears stark blue eye shadow and has freckles around her right eye and cheek, which you can mimic with a brown makeup pencil.
John Lennon from Yellow Submarine
John Lennon is one of the singers and guitarists of The Beatles. He writes many of the band’s songs with Paul McCartney. His other band members include George Harrison and Ringo Starr. In 1968, they starred in the animated movie, Yellow Submarine. The plot revolves around the Fab Four defeating the Blue Meanies, and of course, riding in a yellow submarine. The aesthetic is very colorful and trippy. The band released an album under the same name featuring the songs in the movie. Iron on the pink flowers to the shirt and use the fabric paint for the lines down the pants.
Jackson from X
Jackson (played by Kid Cudi) is the male lead in The Farmer’s Daughters, the porn movie at the heart of Ti West’s horror film X. Jackson is a Vietnam War veteran who heads to a secluded Texas farm to make an adult film along with fellow actors Bobby-Lynne and Maxine. Jackson served as a Marine and still wears his dog tags. When trying to recreate his look from the film, there are a few ways you can choose to go about it. By focusing more on the colors used (a pale yellow shirt and light blue suit), you may have more options available to you. You could also go for a men’s disco costume in a similar color. And if you’re really committed to portraying Jackson perfectly, and are willing to shell out to do so, you might even find a vintage leisure suit in a matching color.
Bobby-Lynne from X
Bobby-Lynne (played by Brittany Snow) is the confident blonde co-star of Maxine and Jackson in the horror film X. She is a confident, sexually liberated woman who heads to a secluded Texas farm to make an adult film called The Farmer’s Daughters. Bobby-Lynne proves she’s fashionable with her bleach-blonde hair and yellow eye shadow. Before she changes into her farmer’s daughter costume, she wears a bright-colored romper and platform sandals. Finding an exact match for the costume can be tough, so don’t be afraid to be interpretive. You can use any orange romper paired with the right accessories. Or, if you’re a fan of the draping of Bobby-Lynne’s, a halter tank layered over a pair of shorts in a matching shade can also do the trick.
Wedding Princess Tiana
Princess Tiana (Anika Noni Rose) is the protagonist of the Disney animated movie, The Princess and the Frog. She works as a waitress with big dreams of opening her own restaurant to serve her homemade beignets and gumbo. She meets Prince Naveen as a frog, and when she kisses him, she turns into a frog as well! Together they journey off to find a solution while falling in love along the way. After outsmarting Dr. Facilier, they marry and become human again, for they realize they are what each other needed to become their best selves. Tiana makes history as the first Black Disney princess, and her story will continue in an upcoming self-titled Disney+ series. Her wedding dress is inspired by the bayou with its green color palette and lilypad elements.
