All-Might is a main character in the hit anime, My Hero Academia. He is a famous Pro-Hero, even better known as the  Number 1 hero, who saves people with a smile. For that reason, Deku looks up to All-Might as a role model, and he wants to save people as well. His desire to do right as a hero convinces All-Might to pass along his One for All Quirk to him. He is also a teacher at U.A High School, where he must maintain his muscular form to conceal his secret. His design is meant to resemble American comic book heroes, so use the black face paint to draw the lines on his face.

Ms. Joke is a character in the hit anime, My Hero Academia. She is a Pro-Hero known as Smile Hero, or Ms. Joke, though her real name is Emi Fukukado. Her Quirk is Outburst, which forces her enemies to burst out into uncontrollable laughter and allows her to take them down. Cheerful and outgoing, Ms. Joke is always indulgent in her goofy sense of humor. She shamelessly flirts with Aizawa, who appears to be her polar opposite.

Voiced by Estelle, Garnet has been a Steven Universe staple from the show’s beginning. Now that Steven is grown in the Steven Universe series, she is still an important part of his life and the series at large.

It makes sense that cosplaying such a key character would take a little more DIY than most. In this case, getting Garnet’s specific look requires some fabric paint, a white blouse, and acrylic paint to add details to the shoes. The top requires a light pink, a bubblegum pink, a hot pink, and a bright purple for the upper portion and the sleeves. Dark blue and a darker purple are needed for the bottom of the shirt.

Dark blue pants and shoes knock out most of the rest of her outfit while dark pink acrylic paint adds the detail to the toe of the shoes. After that all you need is a black wig and a pair of Garnet glasses.

Tom (played by Robert Sheehan) is a young historian working on the city of London. He idolizes Thaddeus Valentine and wants to serve his city through his work at the museum. His life takes a wild turn, however. And for all that he starts out a London boy, it’s not long before he’s swept up into wild adventures that take him far from home.

A windswept brown wig starts off any good Tom cosplay. Unless, of course, you already have dark hair of a similar cut, in which case all you need is a little styling. From there you’ll need to layer a dark blur shirt under a silver brocade vest and add a black military-style jacket. Black pants, a black belt, and black boots finish off a look fit for anyone hanging onto their roaming city.

Mary Cooper (played by Zoe Perry) is the mother of Georgie, Sheldon, and Missy on the TV series Young Sheldon.  A young mother from East Texas, Mary is devout and no-nonsense, even as she sometimes struggles to understand her genius son.  Mary wears a variety of clothes throughout the series, and imitating her look is a great chance to dust off some vintage dresses or accessories you might have lying in the back of your closet.  Otherwise, focus on bold 80s prints with vintage-inspired silhouettes.  And of course, don’t forget to practice your southern drawl to really sell the part.

Fiona is a character in the Shrek movies. In the first movie, Fiona was introduced as a beautiful princess placed under a curse that transforms her into an ogre at night. Initially, she seeks a prince to kiss and break the curse, but she ends up meeting and falling in love with Shrek instead. However, in Shrek Forever After, she is an empowered warrior in an alternate timeline where she never meets the anti-social ogre. She leads an ogre army to take down Rumpel and the Dragon.

In Arcane, Jinx (voiced by Ella Purnell), birth name Powder, is transformed into a crazed killer after her and her older sister Vi’s parents are killed in a failed uprising. Jinx wears typical Zaunite punk street fashion, along with her trademark two long blue braids and chalk white skin tone. Jinx’s outfit in Arcane and her featured Fortnite skin is slightly different from her bikini top and fishnet stockings from League of Legends.

In Freakazoid, Lord Bravery (real name Nigel Skunkthorpe) is a British superhero loosely based on comedian John Cleese. Looks can be deceiving — he resembles a Roman gladiator, but constantly gets browbeaten by his wife and mother-in-law. Despite his red cape and blue tights, Lord Bravery hates any comparisons to Superman.

In The French Dispatch, Juliette (Lyna Khoudri) is a student revolutionary leader and girlfriend of Zeffirelli. Both are fighting for a world without borders, but lines of division soon form among the protestors. The fiery idealist Juilette stands opposite the blithe Zeffirelli and the pragmatic journalist Lucinda Krementz.

Chris Redfield (voiced by Jeff Schine) returns in Resident Evil Village, attempting to save Rosemary Winters from an evil bioweapon named Miranda.  This also puts him at odds with Ethan Winters throughout the game.  Chris’ look has been updated since his original introduction in the series.  Whether you decide to go for his more tactical or casual outfit, some of the pieces will remain the same, including the gloves, turtleneck, and boots.  For his more casual look, you’ll pair these with black jeans and a peacoat, while you’ll swap out for a pair of tactical pants and a low-profile chest rig if you decide you’d like to recreate his more military-inspired apparel.  Refill cartridges for an airsoft gun can help fill out the rig for a more complete look.
