Gretchen Wieners (played by Lacy Chabert) is the one non-blonde in the mean girls clique at her school. At least until Cady (played by Lindsey Lohan) starts at their school. Gretchen is largely a people-pleaser though she has her limits. And when she reaches them, watch out! Her temper can be explosive. And when it’s time to move on, Gretchen doesn’t have any problems. It turns out she’s good with people! Just don’t tell Regina that.

Gretchen has two key looks in the film. The first is her Wednesday look. After all, on Wednesday they wear pink. In Gretchen’s case this means a tight pink sweater, a gold plaid skirt, and pink heels paired with a blue purse.

Her other look is the Christmas show look. A red Santa hat, Santa babydoll dress, and black boots are all you need for that look.

In both cases you’ll want a long wavy brown wig and, if you want to carry an accessory, your very own Burn Book. Though I recommend leaving yours blank!

Lady Tamayo is a supporting character in the hit anime, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba. Although she is a demon, she is a skilled doctor.

Trucy Wright (Kira Buckland / Chieko Higuchi) is Ace Attorney Phoenix Wright‘s adoptive daughter, biologically descended from a long line of talented magicians, the Gramarye family. When she’s not making mischief, doing magic tricks, or a bit of both, she moonlights as an investigative partner for Phoenix’s law agency.

Trucy’s magician roots are evident in the way she dresses herself. This tutorial covers the basic items that make up her costume, but for a more detailed cape with a broach and the playing card-inspired trim, I recommend following this tutorial.

Kyojuro Rengoku is a character from the hit anime, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. Known as the Flame Pillar, he is one of the nine Hashiras of the Demon Slayer Corps. Regarding his duties as a Hashira, he is enthusiastic and eccentric. He’s a master swordsman, and he enjoys boasting about his technique as a result of his practice and discipline. Above all, Rengoku is an honorable warrior whose mantra comes from his mother: those who were born strong have a duty to protect the weak. At the end of the first season, Rengoku accompanies Tanjiro, Inosuke, and Zenitsu on the Magen (Infinity) Train to defeat a high ranking demon.

In Luc Besson’s The Fifth Element, Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg (played by Gary Oldman) is a weapons dealer who falls in league with Mr. Shadow, also known as the Ultimate Evil intent on destroying Earth.  Zorg attacks Leeloo while looking for the four elemental stones, though his plans are eventually thwarted by Korben Dallas and others.  Recreating Zorg’s futuristic look may take some time if you want to get the pieces just right, but you can always tone down his wet-look holographic clothes by choosing slightly more muted pieces in similar colors.  By getting crafty with some clear plastic and a small toupee, you can evoke a look that is similar to Zorg’s unique hair and futuristic head piece.

Kicks is one of the wandering merchants that show up on your island at random in the game Animal Crossing: New Horizons. He sets himself up in the town square when he arrives and stays until late that night. Kicks is a skunk, but don’t let that put you off. Because if there is one thing about him that doesn’t stink, it’s his sense of fashion! Whether it’s shoes, socks, handbags, or accessories, he’s always got the latest and greatest!

The challenge with Animal Crossing characters is deciding how much of their animal nature to include. You can copy Kicks’ look by just copying his clothes or you can use black body paint and white body paint to achieve his classic skunk markings. You will also need peach body paint to create his nose.

In both cases you will want a white wig and pomade for styling as well as a yellow driver’s cap. A cream button down shirt, tan suspenders, yellow knee pants, brown boots, and white gloves make up the rest of his outfit. If you decide to go for the animal-accurate look you will also want black ears and a skunk tail in addition to your body paint.

Ariana Grande is a pop singer who continues to stay at the top of the charts, perhaps the most popular of our generation. Her song “Positions”, which is also the title of her new album, has over 200 million listens on Spotify. The music video, which features Ariana quite literally “switching the positions” as the president and posing around the White House, garnered 108 million views on Youtube.  These are only two of her 60s-era Jackie Kennedy inspired outfits from the video. Others include a vintage houndstooth winter-coat and a yellow blazer with a matching yellow miniskirt.
