Custard from The Save-Ums!

Custard (voiced by Jordan Francis) is a main character in the Canadian cartoon series The Save-Ums!  Custard is four years old and has a very active imagination.  To recreate this cartoon character’s look, you’ll primarily require a red facemask and purple hooded bodysuit.  You can add some additional details if you’re up for it, including purple cat ears and the design on his belly.  To do so, you can cut and glue felt pieces in place and then use purple fabric paint to add the exclamation point.

Wolf from Bullet Train

Wolf (played by Bad Bunny) is the doomed groom aboard the Bullet Train.  After his wife and wedding guests are murdered by The Hornet on the day of his nuptials, Wolf tracks the mysterious assassin who kills with snake venom to the train.  When he runs into Ladybug, who spilled wine on him at the wedding, Wolf decides to take a little extra revenge, but it doesn’t turn out quite as he hoped.  Wolf wears a few different outfits throughout the film, incorporating accessories from the people he kills along the way, but his wedding look includes a white embroidered suit, red boutonniere, and wolf bolo tie.  He also wears a square belt buckle that says “Mexico,” but any fancy buckle will do in its stead.

m3gan from m3gan

M3gan

M3gan (voiced by Jenna Davis) is the titular life-like doll at the heart of horror film M3GAN. Created by robotics engineer Gemma as a companion for a young girl named Cady, M3gan soon begins to take on a terrifying life of her own.  To recreate M3gan’s look, you’ll need to embrace the deceptively innocent children’s doll appearance with white tights, black mary janes shoes, and a collared dress.  If you want to take the toy-like aesthetic a step further, try using a doll makeup tutorial to help capture M3gan’s wide-eyed appearance.

Madame Red from Kuroshitsuji

Angelina Dalles, more commonly known as Madame Red (voiced in Japanese by Romi Park and in English by Lydia Mackay) is Ciel Phantomhive’s Aunt in the anime/manga Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler.

She has a lot of past trauma from familial death and her inability to have children, and this drove her to become (along with Grelle) Jack the Ripper, which sadly ends with Grelle using her chainsaw death scythe on her.

Her whole appearance is red themed, with bright red hair, eyes, and matching lipstick. She wears a long red ruffle flared skirt, a white button up shirt with a white cravat tie, a red vest over top, and beautifully detailed red boots. Over top of this she wears a long red coat, that Grelle eventually ends up wearing as part of her outfit, after Angelina’s death.

Frankie Stein

Frankie Stein is a character in the Monster High franchise. They are the child of Frankenstein’s monster. Comprised of the body parts of geniuses, they are extremely intelligent. With dolls, cartoons, and a live action movie, Frankie has many different styles. Therefore, our costume guide features a variety of pieces to assemble a unique outfit. Plaid fabric attests to a nerdy, yet preppy look. A studded belt adds punk flair. The color palette consists of black, white, and blue; the new generation features neon tones as well. Add neck bolts and stitches and you’ll be too ghoul for school.

Gin Akutagawa from Bungo Stray Dogs

Gin Akutagawa (voiced in Japanese by Shiina Natsukawa and in English by Allegra Clark) is part of the Port Mafia in the anime/manga Bungo Stray Dogs, as well as Ryunosuke Akutagawa‘s younger sister.

Gin is one of the battalion leaders of the Black Lizard, under the instruction of the Port Mafia. Growing up on the streets with her brother, she’s learned to be very defensive, and has become a talented and silent assassin.  She has a softer and sweeter side to herself, but it’s not usually shown around the other Mafia members, aside from Ryunosuke.

She has long black hair that she wears up in a spiked ponytail with loose bangs, and the same bright grey eyes as her brother. The outfit that she wears while on duty is a grey striped tanktop, a black choker necklace, a long and tattered black longcoat with one gartered sleeve and one ripped sleeve, long sheer gloves, black pants, black heeled boots, and a crisscross layered white facemask.

Kyouka from Bungo Stray Dogs

Kyouka (voiced in Japanese by Sumire Morohoshi and in English by Cherami Leigh) is one of the secondary main characters in the anime/manga Bungo Stray Dogs.

She was originally part of the Port Mafia and very much under their control, but defected fairly early on in the series and now works with Atsushi and the rest of the Armed Detective Agency.

Her hair color is a bit different between the anime and manga (blueish purple vs black) but she usually wears it in low pigtails regardless, and has very pretty blue eyes. The outfit she wears is a red kimono with leafy detailing, and the rest of her outfit’s accessories are highlighted in reds and yellows, such as a the red straps on her sandals. Kyouka has flowers tying off her pigtails, a white headband, and she carries around her cellphone on a string around her neck with a bunny keychain attached to it.

tangerine from bullet train

Tangerine from Bullet Train

Tangerine (played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson) is Lemon‘s brother and partner in the action comedy Bullet Train.  Known as The Twins, Lemon and Tangerine are a deadly duo tasked with retrieving The White Death‘s son from a hostage situation and returning with the silver briefcase filled with ransom money.  Things get out of hand, however, when the case goes missing and The Twins try to hunt down the person responsible to save their own limbs.  Tangerine wears a blue pinstriped three-piece suit and plenty of gold jewelry, including a St. Christopher medal which he bestows on Lemon later in the film.  His vintage Rolex is a bit steep in price, but a vintage-inspired rectangular-faced watch will do the trick.  If you aren’t prepared to grow out a ‘stache of your own, a little spirit gum and the right fake one will do the trick.
