Yen Sid is a character from the 1940 animated movie, Fantasia. He is a powerful sorcerer whose magic mainly comes from his hat. In the segment The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, his goal is to teach Mickey Mouse all he knows about magic. Later he appears in the Kingdom Hearts video games. Fun fact: If you spell his name backwards, it spells Disney. We don’t think that’s a coincidence at all.

Regina George is the main antagonist in the musical adaptation of Mean Girls. Similar to the movie, she is the queen bee of North Shore High School and leader  of the Plastics. She befriends Cady and takes advantage of her naiveté. According to her introduction in “Meet the Plastics,” she is a massive deal. However Janis warns Cady of Regina, saying she’s the “apex predator.” Regina herself several standout songs such as “Someone Gets Hurt” and “World Burn.” Taylor Louderman originated the role on Broadway. Her outfit is trendy, preppy, and of course includes lots of pink for Wednesdays.

Adiris was a young priestess at the Temple of Purgation. When a plague spread across the land and the Holy Men each fell ill, it fell to her to don the robes of her goddess and perform the rites for the disease-stricken masses. Eventually, she fell ill as well, and when she could no longer hide the infection behind crowns and incense censers, she exiled herself and prayed to god for salvation. The Entity of Dead by Daylight answered her prayers and now she serves it as a killer known as the Plague, sacrificing survivors to appease its endless appetite. The Plague is a great costume for someone who wants to take some time and get creative with their use of prosthetics, and the juxtaposition of her beautiful clothing with her disease-ridden body will certainly make for a big visual impact.

Mr. Whiskers (voiced by Charlie Adler) is a hyperactive rabbit trapped in the Amazon rainforest in the Disney Channel show Brandy & Mr. Whiskers.  Along with a pampered pooch named Brandy, Mr. Whiskers falls out of an airplane and becomes stranded in the jungle.  The pair are forced to survive together while making new friends.  Mr. Whiskers is a white rabbit in an orange jumpsuit, making this is a simple look to recreate with just a few layered pieces and some face makeup.

Ask any Tom, Dick, or Stanley, and they’ll tell you they want to be on Gaston’s team! After all, no one hits, matches wits, or spits (well, expectorates) quite like him — and his antler-decorating skills are unmatched in all of Gaston’s provincial French village! Gaston (voiced by Richard White) sure has let the praise his followers bestow upon him get to his head. He acts like he’s Walt Disney’s gift to women, much to the chagrin of one Belle.

Edgar is an Epic Brawler from the popular mobile video game Brawl Stars. Edgar has an edgy, emo-inspired look that includes a studded belt, fingerless gloves, and a pop of bright red on his shirt. Whatever you do, don’t forget his signature scarf because it’s also used in some of his attacks in the game.

Bell Cranel is the main protagonist of the anime, Is It Wrong to Try and Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? He is a human adventurer as well as the captain of the Hestia Familia. Bell is a brave yet shy boy, who wants to be a hero like the ones he read about. He cares deeply about his family and his patron goddess, Hestia. Upon reaching Level 2, his alias became Little Rookie. When he then reached Level 4, his alias changed to Rabbit Foot. He can use Magic called Firebolt. After Ais Wallenstien rescues him from a Minotaur attack, Bell abandons his original plan of picking up girls, and commits to growing stronger to fight by her side.

Frigga (played by Rene Russo) is the Queen of Asgard, wife of Odin, and mother to both Thor and Loki in the MCU. Though she largely keeps her peace she knows how to stand her ground. And she is not someone you want to make an enemy of. She is a fierce protector and even fiercer fighter, gifts she passed on to her sons.

Cosplaying as Frigga requires a little bit of DIY. Shoulder and wrist protection is hard to find in gold, as Frigga’s are. So you will have to buy them in leather and paint them with the leather paint pictured above.

Once dry these pieces are layers over a long gown. A gold corset takes the place of Frigga’s chest armor in this look because formed armor like hers always costs quite a bit. There are options available on Etsy but they cost several hundred dollars. This corset will get close to the look at a much more affordable price. Similarly the pictured boots might seem familiar to Disney fans but they work just as well for a Queen of Asgard s a princess of Arendelle if you want something with a heel low enough to fight in that won’t break the bank.

Finally add in a long curly blonde wig, a gold crown, and two short swords and you’re ready to defend Asgard. And, more importantly, your family just like Frigga!

Brandy Harrington of the Florida Harringtons (voiced by Kaley Cuoco) is a spoiled dog lost in the Amazon on the Disney Channel show Brandy & Mr. Whiskers.  Along with an easily excitable white rabbit named Mr. Whiskers, Brandy is stranded in the rainforest after a mishap on an airplane.  The pair make new friends as they work together to get themselves out of their predicament.  Brandy wears red pants, a pink cropped t-shirt, and chunky purple flip flops.

Ruth (voiced by Austin Tindle / Kōki Uchiyama) is the shapeshifting familiar of young Chise Hatori, the titular Ancient Magus’ Bride. Whether he’s in his waffle-loving human form or a big black dog, he’s so loyal and ever so kind. Prior to meeting Chise and her magic mentor, Elias, Ruth was the pet dog of a young woman named Isabelle, and known to her as Ulysse/Yurishi. Loyal to a fault, he stayed by Isabelle’s grave after she died suddenly, watching over her in hopes that she’d once again wake up. In his desperation, he became a fae spirit whose presence overcame the graveyard until Chise was able to reason with him. Now that he’s Chise’s familiar, he presents and dresses as a brooding young man close in age with his young mistress.
