Twist (Jon Beavers) is the protagonist of the Nickelodeon series, The Fresh Beat Band. He is the DJ and rapper for the titular band. Silly and imaginative, Twist goes with the flow. His catchphrase is “Sweet!” As seen with his outfit, his favorite colors are blue and yellow. Get a pair of over the ear headphones to accessorize.
Emily Cooper from Emily in Paris
Emily Cooper (played by Lily Collins) is the protagonist of the Netflix series Emily in Paris. Initially sent to Paris to oversee a transition at her company, Emily wears an array of eye-popping couture fashion throughout the series. Some of her most memorable looks include bold colors and unique accessories. When recreating any of Emily’s looks, it’s important to remember that many of the pieces used on the show are from high-end designers, so it’s okay to find something that’s a close match instead of an exact duplicate. Focus on colors and silhouettes, like the nude booties shown here which still have the open front feel of the ones Emily wears in the show. You can also choose to focus on patterns or colors like the two skirts you could decide to pair with her yellow blazer–the tie-dyed skirt has more of that eye-catching color, but the striped skirt maintains the same visual flow as the one from the show because of its lines.
Bayonetta from Bayonetta 3
Bayonetta (voiced in Bayonetta 3 by Jennifer Hale) is the titular witch of the PlatinumGames series. Bayonetta is an Umbra Witch tasked with protecting the multiverse alongside her apprentice Viola in the third installment of the franchise. Bayonetta’s costume is complex and will require a little creativity to recreate. As a base, you’ll need black leggings with a lace cutout design and a puffy-sleeved backless shirt. Bayonetta’s belt and skirt in the game are crafted from her own hair. If you’d rather not collect your locks to weave a costume, a black obi sash and tutu will suffice. Lastly, you’ll need light purple gloves, glasses, and a long black wig plaited on either side with red cord. The gold details of her outfit, if you choose to add them, can be recreated with a glue gun, some gold glue, and applique pieces. Be strategic about which aspects of her costume are most important to you. You can add gold flowers to the tutu, floral applique to the gloves, and even some gold details to the heels of your shoes. Finding a replica gun from the game can be quite expensive, so consider using a toy foam blaster that will help evoke the same feel even if it’s not an exact match.
Clive Dove from Professor Layton and the Unwound Future
Clive (voiced in Japanese by Yuri Lowenthal and in English by Shun Oguri) is the main antagonist of the video game Professor Layton and the Unwound Future.
He pretended to be a future version of Hershel Layton’s apprentice, Luke Triton, in order to make it seem like there really were time shenanigans going on, to trick them.
Due to his appearance faking, he mostly just looks like an older Luke, with similar light brown hair, and a blue newsboy cap. He wears a white button up shirt with a grey-brown vest and blue tie over top, a light blue suit jacket, brown shorts, dark blue tube socks, and brownish-black buckled shoes.
Kojiro Nanjo (Joe) from Sk8 the Infinity
Kojiro (voiced in Japanese by Yasunori Matsumoto and in English by Jonah Scott) is one of the main cast members of the anime Sk8 the Infinity.
He is one of the founding members of ‘S’ and has been a skater since he was a teenager, preferring to use his above-average strength to perform dangerous skate tricks with ease during competitions. When he isn’t skateboarding, he’s also a professional chef with his own restaurant.
Kojiro has reddish-brown eyes (a little hard to determine due to lighting) and green messy hair that he ties back in a low ponytail while skating. He prefers to show off while he’s skating, so only wears a multicolored jacket off his shoulders and a necklace on his top half, as well as low-slung white pants with black and gold criss-crossed belts over them. He finishes off the outfit with black finger-less gloves and black/orange sneakers.
Yui Iwakiyamayukisatoshironanogojuurokushi from Kemono Jihen
Yui (voiced in Japanese by Kaito Ishikawa and in English by Ben Balmaceda) is the older brother of one of the main characters in the anime/manga Kemono Jihen.
He is Akira‘s older twin brother and due to also being a Yuki-onoko (the same species as the village the two of them are from) he has the abilities of ice creation and manipulation, which he tends to use in more dramatic ways than his brother.
Yui has blue hair like his brother, but it’s much darker and wilder. He has similar blue eyes as well. The outfit we mainly see him in is a long green snow jacket with a fur trim collar, blue jeans, and hiking boots.

Ranpo Edogawa from Bungo Stray Dogs
Ranpo (voiced in Japanese by Ryōki Nagae and in English by Landon McDonald, season 3 onwards) is one of the semi-main characters in the anime/manga Bungo Stray Dogs.
He is a valuable member of the Armed Detective Agency, and while he does not have an ability like most of his teammates do, he is still a highly intelligent detective in his own right.
Ranpo has fluffy chin length black hair and bright green eyes (this was changed from the manga), though you normally never see them unless he’s wearing the glasses that he believes ‘activates’ his ability. His usual outfit consists of a brown page-boy cap, with a matchingly colored overcloak and pants, a white button up shirt, a black vest, and a blue and black striped tie. The outfit is finished off with long white socks and black slip on loafers.
