Ariana recently came out with a brand-new song and music video called “We Can’t Be Friends”, and fans have been raving about all the references in it, including her costumes. Part of the video references the 2004 film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Throughout the video she is erasing her memories of a previous relationship from her mind. One of the coats she wears, a denim long jacket with fur lining, is the same one worn in the original film by Kate Winslet who plays Clementine.

To dress like Ariana in this video, wear a denim jacket with fur lining, denim pleated skirt, and gray shirt with a cut-out neckline. This can be created by wearing a v-neck gray top, or taking a scoop neck gray shirt and cutting a triangle right under the neckline. For the V-Neck shirt, you also could cut a strip from the bottom of the shirt and sew/ attach it back at the neckline. She also has a pink streak in her hair and white eye makeup which can be done with a white eye-pencil or liner.

Chappell Roan is a rising singer-songwriter that has a unique style when it comes to her stage costumes. She is inspired by drag and isn’t afraid to go all out glam in her performances. Her fans have taken a love to her style and share their concert-going costumes and outfits online where they show off their creativity by recreating her looks and making their own.

One look that would be great to recreate is from her music video for one of her breakout songs Pink Pony Club. To create this look, wear an embellished denim jacket and either glue or sew on more metallic fringe and trims. Under that wear a white bodysuit or leotard like the one here with fringe, and add more trim to the piece and the hem at the legs. Pair this with silver fringe cowboy boots and a white cowboy hat.

Tsuyu (voiced in Japanese by Aoi Yūki and in English by Monica Rial) is one of the partial main characters in the anime/manga series My Hero Academia.

She is a student in class 1-A at UA High School, along with Izuku and the others, and is in training to become a pro-hero named Froppy. Her Quirk, Frog, lets her recreate frog-like behaviors, including sticky climbing, extending her tongue to extreme lengths, and camouflage, among many others. During the internships part of the series, she trained under Selkie, with the Oki Mariner Crew, who she also ended up teaming up with again while doing a work study under Ryukyu.

Tsuyu has very long dark green hair, that she generally ends up wearing tied in some sort of bow-type style, and huge eyes with black centers. Her outfit is the standard UA uniform, with the white button up shirt tied with a red tie, worn with a grey blazer with green and gold detailing, and the same tealy-green for the skirt. The rest of it is finished off with black, knee-high socks, and brown loafers. If you would like to see how to make her pro-hero outfit, please see this article here!

Following her last tour for her Renaissance album, fans have already started creating looks for a possible new tour that have a western flare. One of the things fans love to do and share online are their recreations of Beyonce’s looks. In this I’ll be covering how to recreate one of the first all-western outfits she wore around promoting the new album at the 2024 Grammy Awards.

To create this look, wear a white cowboy hat, blonde wig, white button-down shirt, a black western bow tie at the collar, a black leather jacket or blazer, black leather shorts, and black pointed heels. To make this look even more identical take rhinestones and add them to the bow tie and jacket and shorts to replicate the checkered pattern. Rhinestones can be placed with black E6000 glue for the cleanest results.
