Jane Seymour is a historical figure and character in SIX the Musical. She is the third wife of Henry VIII who died giving birth to their son. Her song, “Heart of Stone” is a pop ballad about her steadfast love for her husband. This is the most positive reflection of Henry VIII in the show, for Jane claims he’s the only one he truly loved. Natalie Paris starred in the original UK tour and Abby Mueller originated the role on Broadway. Cut the neckline of the dress to match the picture, with a stripe of fabric along your collarbone. Use the white ribbon on the bust of the dress and glue studded trim, as well as along the corset and skirt. Glue the chain necklace on either side so it goes across. Want more queendom?

In Three Billboard Outside Ebbing, Missouri, Frances McDormand plays Mildred Hayes, the mother of murdered teenager Angela.  Mildred is frustrated that, seven months after her daughter’s death, there are still no leads or arrests.  Mildred rents three billboards to challenge the local police chief, Bill Willoughby, to solve the case.  Mildred is a domestic abuse survivor with a short temper; her tenacity and grit are essential to standing up to the local police and harassing locals.  Mildred’s costuming consists mostly of thermal long-sleeved shirts and coveralls.

Jasper Hale is a supporting character in the Twilight saga. He became a vampire after his time as a soldier in the Civil War. He is part of the Cullen family as the adoptive son of Carlisle and Esme Cullen. He is married to Alice Cullen. As the newest vegetarian, he sometimes struggles with suppressing his urges. He is an empath, which means he can sense other’s emotions. Jackson Rathbone portrays him in the movie adaptations. In the iconic baseball scene set to “Supermassive Black Hole” by Muse, he plays offense.

Wally West (played by Keiynan Lonsdale) is the son of Joe West and brother of Iris West-Allen. His mother left Joe and then discovered her pregnancy so Wally did not grow up knowing his father or his sister. He quickly takes a place on Team Flash and becomes Kid Flash as well as The Flash in certain timelines.

When he isn’t saving the world as a speedster he spends his time drag racing and trying to find where he fits in the wider world. He tends to prefer comfortable clothes like jeans, flannel button ups, and t-shirts as well as shoes he can easily drive in. And while his Flash costume is usually yellow, he has been known to wear the iconic red when called on to do so.

Smiles wears a mask to hide her front teeth and braces. She is a popular video star that talks about seeking fitness. One day, an incident sparks her friendship with a quiet boy named Cherry. Smile connects with Cherry the way she can’t with others in Words Bubbling Up Like Cider (Cider no You ni Kotoba ga Wakiagaru).

Chuck Shurley (played by Rob Benedict) is a pseudonym used by God.  Chuck/God at first reveals himself as the author of the Supernatural book series, which tells the story of Sam and Dean to legions of fans.  However, as time goes on, it becomes clear that Chuck is truly a power hungry villain.  Long before humans, Chuck locked his sister Amara away to protect earth, but he eventually decides to end the world himself when the Winchesters refuse to acquiesce to his wishes.

Jimmy (voiced by Keenan Christensen) is the neighborhood “soft” kid. He’s prone to tears, acts more delicate than he is, and inspires either protective instincts or the urge to tease. It all depends on who he’s talking to. Of course that’s only part of Jimmy’s personality. Under the surface is a devious and clever mind that you don’t want to get on the bad side of!

Cosplaying as Jimmy requires a little bit of DIY. For his hair you’ll either have to style your own hair using some serious pomade or you’ll want to use a blonde wig styled with something like an overdone pompadour in the front. Some heavy-gauge wire, a glue gun, and a plastic headband will recreate Jimmy’s iconic headgear. And after that all you need is a blue long sleeve shirt, cargo pants. and black shoes. After that it’s all about attitude and you’ve got the perfect Jimmy cosplay!

Mina Mongoose is a character from the Archi Comics Sonic the Hedgehog series.  Mina is one of three girls who vie for Sonic‘s affections throughout the series.  Mina is also a successful singer, and her nickname “Songoose” references that.  Finding purple and green striped clothing to match Mina’s exactly might be difficult, but if you stick with the green and purple color scheme while choosing pieces with a similar silhouette, you’ll be good to go!  If the iridescent platform boots are too high (or too highly-priced), a pair of green shoes to match your arm warmers could easily be used instead.

Kugaha was one of Bishamon’s many shinki (soul-weapons), and used his presence in the immense crowd that is her collection to take her down from the inside! Not even Bishamon’s Blessed Shinki, Kazuma, caught on until it was almost too late. Kugaha’s function in Bisha’s “family” of lost souls was that of doctor/healer; he had an arsenal of medicines and poisons to keep his mistress under his control.

Kugaha’s costume is surprisingly easy to assemble using very simple garments. The most complicated part, perhaps, is his headband; it can be recreated using the last three items on this list.
