Alice Angel (voiced in part by Alanna Linayre playing her original voice actress) is a character from Bendy and the Ink Machine.  The first female character created by her animation studio, Alice’s popularity was on par with other well-known characters including Bendy and Boris.  There are two ways to go about recreating Alice’s look, which will determine which supplies or accessories you may need.  If you choose to simply dress as her, you won’t have to worry about body paint and can choose a pair of sheer thigh-high stockings to pair with your black dress, gloves, and heels.  If you’re interested in going for the true black-and-white appearance of her original cartoon, you’ll need white body paint for your face, chest, and upper arms, and a pair of white tights.  Lastly, don’t forget your wavy black hair, white horn clips, and halo.  Use a makeup stick to add black pigment to your lips and draw on Alice’s beauty mark below her right eye.  For an extra bit of authenticity, a fabric marker can be used to add black circles to the palms of your gloves.

Helga Sinclair (voiced by Claudia Christian) is the secondary antagonist of the Disney animated feature Atlantis: The Lost Empire.  She serves as Preston Whitmore’s second-in-command on the expedition to Atlantis which assembles a crew including Milo Thatch and Audrey Ramirez to find the mythical city.  Helga has long blonde hair usually worn in a braid.  Throughout the film, she wears a few different outfits, though is mostly seen in a pair of olive green military-style pants and brown boots, as well as gloves, and wearing either a white tank top or black turtleneck.

Druig (Barry Keoghan) is a character in the Marvel film, The Eternals. He’s an Eternal, an immortal, super-powered being created to eradicate Deviants to help populate the Celestial race. Druig and nine other Eternals get sent to Earth but are forbidden to interact in human conflicts. He has the ability to use cosmic energy to control minds. He becomes frustrated with the other Eternals regarding their interaction with humanity. He retreats to the Amazon rainforest and starts a cult. He only seems to like Makkari, and they develop a trusting, intimate relationship. His non-hero look is quite simple, so this guide includes that too. Use the marker to draw the designs on the armor.

In season 2 of The White Lotus, Portia is socialite Tanya’s personal assistant, accompanying her on a ritzy vacation to Sicily. This Gen Z’s fashion, or lack thereof, has gotten plenty of notice, with actor Haley Lu Richardson explaining it reflects the character’s own lack of identity. Her colorful outfits feature plenty of knitwear, which makes sense since Haley crochets goods available on her Etsy store, HookedByHaleyLu, on the side.
