Pinocchio is a recurring character in the Shrek movies. Like the Big Bad Wolf, he first appears as one of the fairy tale characters that was exiled to Shrek‘s swamp. In the sequel, Pinocchio becomes one of his best friends. He often gets into trouble by lying, which makes his nose grow. He gets turned into a real boy by Fairy Godmother‘s magic wand, but he ultimately gets turned into puppet again. Pinocchio appears in several of the Shrek video games as well. Attach three yellow felt circles down the shirt to resemble his buttons. You can sew them on or simply use hot glue. For added detail, you can also glue a leaf sprig to the fake nose.

In Danganronpa 3, Makoto Naegi looks very different from his original appearance in the series.  Danganronpa 3 takes place in two parts; in Future Chapter, Makoto is suspected of treason against the Future Foundation, and is then caught with other members of the Foundation including foremer classmates Kyoko Kirigiri, Aoi Asahina, and Yasuhiro Hagakure in a final killing game.  Showing off a much more tailored and clean cut appearance in Danganronpa 3 than in previous installments, Makoto wears a slim fitting suit, light colored tie, and dark navy blue sweater vest.

In Euphoria, Cassie Howard played by Sydney Sweeney is a nice popular girl at East Highland who shares a room with her sister Lexi.

Midas (voiced in-game by Matthew Mercer) is a Spy Boss for The Agency.  Midas’ look is crisp; a vest and tie with dress shirt and pants to match.  He is heavily tattooed, with a stylish pompadour haircut.  To really recreate this look, you’ll want to go over-the-top with gold accessories and weaponry where you can find it.  Some gold body paint and gloves can help achieve the transitional appearance seen here, without requiring you to paint your entire body in metallic gold.  Scar wax can be used to create the scar over Midas’ right eye.

In the Netflix series Ratched, Sarah Paulson plays the impeccably dressed and increasingly evil Mildred Ratched.  Nurse Ratched was first introduced to the world as the primary antagonist of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.  The Netflix series serves as a prequel to the film, charting Nurse Ratched’s origins and how she became the tyrannical battleax she is known as in pop culture.  To create Ratched’s nurse outfit, your best bet will be to find white items and dye them the appropriate shade of teal.  While this may seem intimidating, using Rit fabric dye is actually a very simple and straightforward process, and by following the directions on the bottle, you will be able to better mimic the beautiful color of Ratched’s uniform, which is difficult to find ready-made.

Haida (voiced by Shingo Kato in the original Japanese and Ben Diskin in the English dub) is a laid-back hyena with a crush on the shows title character, Retsuko. While he spends most of his time at work, he’s known to haunt record shops and punk shows in his off-hours. When he’s not kicking coffee cans and landing face-up in a puddle he’s a great calm counterpoint to the high-energy chaos that is Retsuko.

To get Haida’s off-hours look you’ll want to start with a messy brunette wig. Makeup pencils can recreate his spots as freckles too. After that all you need is a leather bike jacket, a red and black striped shirt, black jeans, and black boots.
