Benjamin Barker/Sweeney Todd is the main character of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. He first appeared in a Victorian penny dreadful serial, but his fame comes from the Stephen Sondheim musical, which was then adapted into a movie by Tim Burton. Throughout each iteration, his role remains the same: a psychopathic barber who murders his customers. Subsequently, Mrs. Lovett bakes the bodies of his victims into meat pies for her shop. He takes on the alias of Sweeney Todd to abandon the identity of Benjamin Barker, who had been falsely convicted and banished, to now take revenge on those who wronged him. He especially wants vengeance against Judge Turpin for kidnapping his daughter. This costume takes inspiration from the Tim Burton movie, where Johnny Depp stars as the title role.

Sharpay Evans (Ashley Tisdale) is a main character in Disney Channel’s High School Musical movies. Often antagonized throughout the series, she is feisty, ambitious, and in charge. Despite participating in theater at East High, she wants to pursue a career in performance, and her big dream is to become a Hollywood star. This is her outfit in the sequel, High School Musical 2, during the song “Fabulous”. With Troy Bolton working at her country club, Sharpay aims to cause a rift in his relationship with Gabriella Montez. But not all is “fabulous” when she discovers Gabriella is the new lifeguard at the pool. Add some sparkle to the coverup and bathing suit with 3 mm rhinestones, which can be applied with Hotfix or E6000.

Amethyst is a main character in Steven Universe: Future voiced by Michaela Dietz. The series takes place after the events of the movie. Before, Amethyst was underestimated because she was half the size of a Quartz soldier. This judgement used to negatively affect her self esteem. But now she’s found her confidence and purpose. Fun, playful, and always with an appetite, Amethyst helps Steven run the new school for gems. Cut a hole in the tank top for the gem, and iron one star on each leg of the shorts.

Vergil is a character in the Devil May Cry video game franchise. He is the son of the demon Sparda and human Eva, as well as the older twin brother of Dante. In contrast to his brother, Vergil rejects his humanity in favor of his demonic heritage. He is an apathetic and reserved individual, but his ambition gets the best of him, as he will do anything to usurp the power of his father. This leads him down a dark path, hence his role as the main antagonist of the fifth installment. This outfit in particular is from the third installment.

Halloween this year probably isn’t going to feature the kind of parties we’re used to from other years. But if […]

Tanith Low is a Hidden Blade magic user skilled in combat, stealth, walking on walls (and sitting on ceilings), and swordsmanship. She’s an ally of Skulduggery Pleasant and the honorary big sister of Pleasant’s apprentice, Valkyrie Cain. It is, in fact, Tanith, who first inspired Valkyrie to pick her name after casually using the phrase “raising Cain” (making trouble).

Friends, among other things, shows the evolution of Rachel Karen Greene from a runaway bride with unrealistic expectations of the world to a thriving businesswoman with questionable decision-making skills — at least, in terms of her personal life. (Joey? Really?) Career-wise, the character of Rachel served as a breakout role for actress Jennifer Aniston.

Rachel’s fashion sense can be summed up in plaid, pleated miniskirts, comfy sweaters, and dresses with Mandarin collars. All the more iconic is the hairstyle she sported at various lengths throughout Friends’ ten-season run.

Chravis is a recurring character in Cherdley’s (Chad LeBaron) sketch comedy videos on Youtube. Played by LeBaron himself, Chravis is a typical confused stoner boy. His name is pronounced Travis. He has multiple piercings and wears clothes with tags on them. He appears in the viral video, “Is It Chill If I Chill Here?”

Abigail “Abby” Archer (voiced by Krystal Meadows) is half of the crime-fighting sibling duo that stars in the show Grossology. They take on the grossest of gross and the slimiest of slimy. And when it comes to Abby, at least, they do it without batting an eye or breaking a sweat.

When she’s not in uniform to bust a bad guy Abby prefers the color purple. She wears a purple sweater and skirt with black leggings and black shoes. Of course no cosplay of Abby would be complete without her long auburn ponytail and a little bit of slime!
