Octavia from Hazbin Hotel
Octavia (voiced by Barrett Wilbert Weed) is an avian demon in the web cartoon Hazbin Hotel. Octavia is sarcastic with an interest in collecting taxidermy that suits her gothic appearance. Octavia has messy hair and long grey tail feathers. She wears a pink dress and black beanie. To recreate her look, don’t be afraid to be a little interpretive. White face paint with purple eyeshadow can evoke her unique appearance. The wings pictured, though meant to be worn over the arms, can be detached into two halves and worn on the legs if you’re feeling particularly crafty. (Safety pins can do a lot to help secure them in place by pinning them to other items of clothing.) If you are just looking for a short-term costume, gold star stickers can be added to the dress for an evening. Otherwise, you may want to get out the hot glue gun or splurge for iron-on patches in the same star shape.

To recreate this look, you can use a white hooded bodysuit as your base. Use fabric glue to attach red felt circles and then draw the smile on with a fabric marker. Then, throw on your wig, black shirt and pants, and bi-colored sunglasses overtop and you’ll be ready to terrorize Cyber World.
