To dress like Emma as she appears in viral clips from the trailer and film you may have seen online of her dancing, wear a two-piece brown pantsuit, a purple or champagne shirt, brown flip-flops, and a teal blue crossbody purse. Another look of hers is a blue windbreaker over a light yellow shirt and khaki shorts.
Wild Bill from GI Joe
In GI Joe, Wild Bill (voiced by Frank Welker) is the pilot of the Dragonfly helicopter. After service in the Vietnam War as William S.

Young Charlie from Don’t Starve Together
This article is focused on the main antagonist of Don’t Starve Together, Charlie, but in the most recent short that’s come out, Hide & Seek, where we see her as a child. If you would like to see the other article I’ve done for Charlie, please check it out here! If you would like to see her sister Winona’s child-aged matching article, please look here!
Her hair is similar to how she wears it as an adult, but with a little less volume, and she wears a small red bow, instead of her usual rose clip. Her dress is a red, prairie-style dress (it was a bit tricky to find a matching one, I would suggest trimming the sleeves to size and using the included dye to color balance it), and with it she wears a pair of black, small, heeled boots.
Jenny from Forrest Gump
Jenny is a character from the classic 1994 film Forrest Gump, and is played by Robin Wright. In this film, Jenny is the love interest of Forrest and we get to see her at many different stages throughout her life, starting at childhood when she first met him. Her costumes change along with her, and how she wants to show her personality at different stages.
In the phase covered here, these costumes are often called her “hippie” outfits. To dress like Jenny in this era, wear a fur lined faux suede coat. Another way is you could go all out with a white frock maxi dress and layer a long fringe brown vest over it and a brown wide belt at the waist. Add some buttons to one side of the vest and you have the perfect Jenny outfit for every day life or as a costume, maybe even with your significant other as Forrest Gump.
Vanitas from The Case Study of Vanitas
Vanitas (voiced in Japanese by Natsuki Hanae and in English by Zeno Robinson) is the titular protagonist of the anime/manga series The Case Study of Vanitas.
He proclaims himself as a medical specialist in regards to vampires, and uses his ‘Book of Vanitas’ to cure the Malnomen curse that said vampires have fallen under. During his journeys he is joined by Noé, a vampire who he then recruits into helping with the researching of various Malnomen cases and the following treatment of them.
Vanitas has black hair that he wears in a long, low ponytail, and very vibrant blue eyes. He wears several earrings, mostly around the shell of his ear, as well as a gold and blue dangling hourglass and gem on his left ear. His under outfit consists of a two-toned blue vest over a white button-up shirt that he wears with the collar flared up, and a giant light blue bowtie around it. Around his waist he wears a holster for his knives and the book, with an enormous bluey-white ribbon underneath for padding, and then just a simple pair of black pants with a pair of black and white spat boots. His gloves are very long to cover the markings on his hand, and the nails are extremely sharp. Over top of everything he wears a very oversized, billowing black coat with a blue lining on the inside.
Kelly from Fly Me to the Moon
Kelly is a character from the new film Fly Me to the Moon, and is played by Scarlett Johansson. The film takes place in the 1960s and is a romance/ comedy between two characters: Cole, a NASA official and Kelly, a marketing executive as they make preparations for the Apollo 11 moon landing.
To dress like Kelly, wear a sleeveless yellow bow blouse, high-waisted orange cropped trousers, a purple printed scarf in your hair, and carry a clipboard with a NASA sticker on the back.

Mr. Frog from Smiling Friends
“Hello, I’m Mr. Frog.” Mr. Frog is a recurring character in the Adult Swim cartoon Smiling Friends, now streaming on HBO Max. Once the star of his own television show, he got fired due to eating a reporter. Pim and Charlie try to help him clean up his reputation, such as appearing on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, but it isn’t much of a success. Later on, Mr. Frog runs for president against the incumbent President Jimble. Mr. Frog usually begins and ends his sentences with “hello.” Use the black fabric marker to draw the nostrils and the dark green fabric marker to draw the mouth.
Cole from Fly Me to the Moon
Cole is a character from the new film Fly Me to the Moon, and is played by Channing Tatum. The film takes place in the 1960s and is a romance/comedy between two characters: Cole, a NASA official and Kelly, a marketing executive as they make preparations for the Apollo 11 moon landing.
To dress like Cole, wear a navy blue polo with dark trousers, or a green mock neck short sleeve sweater shirt. He also wears a deep gray checked/ plaid blazer with a skinny black retro tie and a white button down shirt.
Jenna Ortega from Taste
Sabrina Carpenter continues to impress and surprise fans online with her music videos. The most recent is for her song Taste, and stars herself alongside Jenna Ortega. They both humorously target each other in bloody fashion throughout the video. This would be a perfect duo costume for two friends with a few different looks to choose from.
Starting with her funeral look, wear a long sleeve black dress, a black fascinator hat in your hair, and black heels. For the look with the chainsaw, start with a black sleeveless dress and black heels. Wear a white tank top with a sweetheart neckline under the dress, with the top peeking over the neckline. Carry a costume prop chainsaw which can be painted by first using any white paint as a base on the part you hold. Then dry brush or completely paint over it with a cool pink paint. On the saw portion, paint with red. For her nurse look, wear a short, off-the-shoulder white dress, a white nurse hat, and a white eye patch. Add the Red Cross with paint or a marker, or red felt and glue. Wear this with a matching red lipstick.
