Troy Bolton (Zac Efron) and Gabriella Montez (Vanessa Hudgens) are the two main characters in the Disney Channel original movie, High School Musical. Troy is the basketball prodigy at East High, whereas Gabriella is a remarkable science student. They sing a duet together for karaoke at a New Years Eve party. The pair reunites when Gabriella transfers to East High. After Gabriella gains the confidence to audition for the school musical, Troy volunteers to sing with her. When they make the callbacks, both Troy and Gabriella face a dilemma: to go forward with the musical, or stick with the status quo. This would make a great couples costume or just for pure nostalgia.

Laurie Strode is the final girl of Halloween (1978) and is arguably the most quintessential form of the archetype. Played by scream queen Jamie Lee Curtis, she has been hunted by Michael Myers for over forty years, across more than half a dozen films. She debuted in Dead by Daylight in Chapter II.

Jane Kano (played by Ella Balinska) was the youngest recruit to ever join MI-6.  Jane now serves as a member of Charlie’s Angels in the 2019 reboot and continuation of the franchise.  Jane works closely with fellow Angels Sabina and newly-recruited Elena to stop the implementation of Elena’s program Calisto.  Jane’s clothing is often utilitarian and even militaristic.  However, as is the case for every Angel, she often dons disguises and costumes in order to complete her mission, offering a lot of different options when emulating the character’s style.

The Pig is the moniker used by apprentices/successors of Jigsaw. There have been many over the years, though they do not vary much in appearance. The male ones typically don Jigsaw’s red and black robe, while the female ones wear long red leather coats, both of which help deal with the bloody affair that is kidnapping victims and setting up Jigsaw’s games. In the game Dead by Daylight, Amanda Young is a devoted pupil of Jigsaw who assumes the identity of the Pig following her own death. To recreate the Pig’s costume, you’ll need a pig mask with wig and a red leather coat layered over a pair of jeans. You can use a simple red trench coat, or if you want the full length of the costume in the game, you could layer a red moto jacket with a hood over a faux leather skirt that you cut in the middle.

In the latest entry into the Charlie’s Angels franchise, Elena Houghlin (played by Naomi Scott) is a programmer and engineer who joins forces with the Angels to stop the energy conservation device Calisto from being implemented.  Elena is smart and an MIT graduate.  Throughout the course of the film, Elena discovers an entirely new set of skills as she bonds with fellow Angels Sabina and Jane.  Elena wears a plethora of colorful and diverse outfits in the movie, leaving plenty of room for you to find an outfit that speaks to your own personal sense of style.

In Total Recall, Melina (played by Rachel Ticotin) is the woman from Quaid’s Martian dreams. She is a resistance fighter seeking to overthrow Cohaagen. Quaid finds her at her club The Last Resort where Quaid tells her he doesn’t remember who he is. Together Melina and Quaid join forces to bring justice to the people of Mars. Melina mixes black and brightly patterned clothes. She wears a creamy eyeliner and a mauve colored lip.

Jibran (played by Kumail Nanjiani) is the boyfriend of Leilani in the Netflix romantic comedy The Lovebirds.  Jibran and Leilani’s relationship seems to have run its course at the beginning of the movie, but they then find themselves on the run after a deadly encounter with a bicyclist and a mysterious man with a mustache.  Jibran wears several costumes throughout the film, but by far the most fun is the gold metallic jacket and “Professional Bead Hunter” t-shirt he dons in the middle.  While finding the exact shirt may not be possible, look for a fun Mardi Gras-themed t-shirt to fit the bill.  If you’re looking for something more sophisticated, Jibran’s colorful borrowed tux and gold mask are a great choice.
