Mickey Pearson (played by Matthew McConaughey) is the main protagonist of The Gentlemen.  Mickey has risen from poverty in his home country of the U.S. to become an exorbitantly wealthy cannabis farmer and dealer in the UK.  Mickey decides to sell his business in a bid to retire, which runs him afoul of several prominent characters including Dry Eye and his associates.  Mickey’s clothing is often a little eccentric or over-the-top in either color or print, making him a fun character to emulate.

Mariah Carey is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, actress, and television judge. She rose to fame in the 1990s after the success of her debut album. With songs like “Always Be My Baby” and “Hero,” she has won five Grammy awards. If you want a high glam diva aesthetic, opt for the wig and bodycon dress.

And  there’s always her Santa outfit from her hit holiday single, “All I Want For Christmas is You.” To fully transform into this iconic pop star, you can follow this makeup tutorial.

Siouxsie Sioux (real name Susan Janet Ballion) is best known as the lead singer of British post-punk band Siouxsie and the Banshees as well as The Creatures. 77UK punk style is a lot about layering and excess. Including the materials that are listed here, if you have extra chain jewelry at home, feel free to add to the costume. Another important detail for this outfit is hair and make-up. For the hair, apply the coloring pomade and brush it through so there are no clumps. Use the crimper in a few random spots to add texture. and tease from the back until it feels right to you! The pomade should hold everything in place so you wont need hairspray. Look up tutorials for hair teasing so you can be confident you are doing it right. There are also great tutorials online for mimicking Siouxsie’s iconic eyemake up! This look will be an ideal choice for Halloween night.

While Kyoko (voiced by Kira Buckland) is in detention with her best friend their boyfriends are kidnapped by local criminals. With nobody else to help, the girls take matter in their own hands in the beat-em-up brawler game River City Girls.

Kyoko’s costume is a great choice for closet cosplay. A long ginger wig and red headband with a bow starts off the costume. A blue and white Letterman’s jacket, a white button up shirt, red tie, and grey pleated skirt create her uniform. Her black and white knee-high socks and blue sneakers probably aren’t dress code though!

Valkyrie Cain is Skulduggery Pleasant‘s young protege in elemental magic.

Her costume is specially made by a magical tailor who designed it to be highly durable and protective — a necessity in Valkyrie’s field.

Billie Preston (Brigette Lundy Payne) is the daughter of legendary rockstar-in-the-making, Ted “Theodore” Logan, one of the two Great Ones regarded by future music listeners as the creators of the greatest song of all time. Rewind to the present: Billie’s father still hasn’t mastered his musical craft, but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t passed down some semblance of talent (combined with an eclectic fashion sense) to his daughter.
