Elizabeth “Polly” Gray (Helen McCrory) is a character in Peaky Blinders. She was the mother of Michael and Anna Gray and the aunt of Arthur, Thomas, John, Ada, and Finn Shelby. She is the matriarch of the Shelby Family and a part of The Peaky Blinders, a criminal gang and accountant of her surname’s company. While her brothers were absent during WWI, Polly managed the gang and gave business advice to her nephews. She was killed by the IRA as a result of her participation.

Jet Propulsion (voiced by Ashleigh Ball) is the main character of the PBS Kids show Ready Jet Go!  Jet is an alien from the planet Bortron 7 who relocates to Earth with his parents to study its customs. Once they settle in Washington state, Jet befriends Sydney, Sean, and Mindy.  Jet has red hair and wears a blue puffy coat with blue pants and grey boots.  To make his boots look a little more like they do on the show, you can wrap a red boot lace around them to give them their signature pop of color.

Misumi Nagisa (voiced by Lara Cody in the American dub) is a high school student and lacrosse player in the anime series Futari wa Pretty Cure.  Nagisa gains the power to turn into the Black Cure, a warrior who fights alongside Yukishiro Honoka‘s alter ego the White Cure.  The Verone Academy’s uniform is very straightforward; pair the outfit with a messy ginger wig to transform into Nagisa.  If you want to emulate her Black Cure look, you might have to decide how much effort you’re willing to put in to get closer to her appearance on the show.  To start, you can deconstruct a purple mess shirt by cutting the arms and midriff off so you can layer it under a black short-sleeved crop top.  Then, don a pink belt over a black ruffled tulip skort and pull on black arm and leg warmers.  You can hot glue a white bow to the front of your shirt and use iron-on heart patches to add details to the costume.  Lastly, if you’re up for a little extra DIY, you can cut and glue ruffled organza lace to add the finishing touch to her look.

The Once-ler (voiced by Ed Helms) is one of the key characters in the 2012 adaptation of the Lorax made by Illumination Entertainment.

Once a faceless character in the original version of the book/movie, Oncie takes place at the heart of the story this time around, and we know more about his motivations behind creating the thneed as a product.

He has short and fluffy brownish-black hair, blue eyes, and a light smattering of freckles across his face. While he does have a few outfits throughout the movie, at the start we see him in this rather monochromatic set. He wears a light grey hat, a v-collared white long sleeved shirt, a grey vest over top, two toned striped pants, pointed toed shoes, and occasionally green gardening gloves.

Santa/Aoi (voiced in Japanese by Kisho Taniyama and in English by Sean Chiplock) is one of the key characters in the first game in the Zero Escape game series, 9 Hours 9 Persons 9 Doors.

While the rest of the characters involved in the Nonary Game in this part of the series were brought along against their will, Aoi and Akane have much greater ties to the plot than the others.

Aoi has white spiked back hair tied down with black hairbands, and greyish blue eyes. He wears a tight white tanktop, black cargo pants, and black and white boots, accessorized by a long and thin black scarf, long black fingerless gloves, and a blcak ribbon wrapped around his upper right arm.

“Old Man” Marley (played by the late Roberts Blossom) is the mysterious neighbor of Kevin McCallister in the 90s Christmas comedy Home Alone.  Marley scares Kevin at first, as he’s rumored to be a serial killer, but it later becomes clear Marley is kind, if a little lonely, and he helps protect Kevin from Harry and Marv during their ill-fated home invasion.  To effectively portray Marly, you’ll need some warm layers, a pair of snow boots, and a dark peacoat.  Top off the look with a white beard and a metal snow shovel that can be used for both clearing sidewalks and thwarting bad guys.

Lucia (Simona Tabasco) is a character in HBO’s The White Lotus. She first appears in season two. Lucia is a sex worker who convinces her friend, Mia, to join the industry as well. Together the two girls hustle the rich attendants of The White Lotus resort.

Andrea Beaumont (voiced by Dana Delany) is a character in the Batman cartoon movie Batman: Mask of the Phantasm.  The one-time fiancee of Bruce Wayne, Andrea eventually becomes the villain Phantasm.  If dressing like Andi before her descent into darkness, you’ll need a coppery wig and a sophisticated appearance.  A sunhat and white gloves paired with a chic dress will easily get the job done.  If your look aligns more with Phantasm, you’ll want to start with a black body suit and pair it with grey gloves, a mask, and a hooded cloak.  You can choose to find a replica mask, or opt for a more generic skull face covering.  Likewise, finding her scythe glove might not be possible, but you can achieve a similar look by removing the top from a costume scythe and carrying it with you between your fingers.

Gilbert Nightray (voiced by Kōsuke Toriumi) is part of the main trio in the anime/manga Pandora Hearts, and Oz‘s closest childhood friend.

Gil is one of the characters that goes on through life at a usual timeline pace while Oz got trapped in the Abyss, and by that happening, he ends up going by the name ‘Raven’ for a short while, as a way to hide his true identity from his best friend and former master. The name came from the Raven chain he’s contracted with, and he has the ability to seal the B-Rabbit powers that Oz can use, to lessen the strain on his body.

He has fluffy black hair, and vibrant gold eyes. His usual outfit matches his hair, with a hat, long and elaborately decorated coat, pants, and boots, all in black. The coat details are a silvery color, and the undershirt and cravat tie he wears are white.

Makkari (Lauren Ridloff) is a character in the Marvel film, The Eternals. She’s an Eternal, an immortal, superpowered being created to eradicate Deviants to help populate the Celestial race. Makkari and nine other Eternals get sent to Earth but are forbidden to interact in human conflicts. She has the ability of super speed and is in a romantic relationship with Druig.
