Mars has her usual hair cut and style for her princess look, but has a red mars symbol on her forehead, instead of the tiara.

She wears a red ribbon around her neck and a red teardrop necklace to accompany it. Her dress in this form is a two toned, v-neck sleeveless red dress, with a capelet on the back, and a pleated light red front piece.

Jean is a character played by Carey Mulligan from the film Inside Llewyn Davis, by Joel and Ethan Coen. Inside Llewyn Davis is set in 1960s New York City and follows a folk singer named Llewyn Davis who struggles to find success again in the music world. Jean is someone in Llewyn’s life that accuses him of being the father to her child, and he often goes to her and her husband for a place to stay or to borrow money. She is married to Jim, who she sings with at the Gaslight Cafe along with Troy Nelson. This trio is inspired by the group Peter, Paul, and Mary.

Jean along with the other characters, fit into their environment perfectly with the colors and textures of their costumes with lots of jackets and textured sweaters. The film is very bleak and muted, so you won’t find many brightly colored costumes. Jean sticks to sweaters in her wardrobe, like the two ribbed texture gray and orange ones, both with a turtleneck. The other sweater she wears in her apartment is a muted blue one, with a very brushed texture and not as thick as the two when she goes out. She also has an army-green coat with a plaid lining, which you can emphasize even more by layering a flannel shirt underneath it.

Seven (voiced by He Xiaofeng in the original and Ronny Chieng and Saito Shinji in the American and Japanese dubs) is the amnesiac main character of the animated series Scissor Seven.  Seven is rather goofy and a bit of a pushover, but it’s eventually revealed that he was a deadly assassin prior to losing his memory.  Seven has dark, bushy eyebrows, and wears his hair in a spiky ponytail on top of his head; you can style a black wig to look similar.  His usual outfits consist of comfortable black shoes, black shorts, and a white hoodie with symbols for the numbers 6 and 7 on it.  To recreate his noticeable undereye bags, you can use a bruise makeup wheel typically used for Halloween makeup effects.

Gentle (voiced in Japanese by Kōichi Yamadera and in English by Josh Gremillion) is one of the secondary antagonists in the My Hero Academia/Boku no Hero Academia series.

He is very polite, despite being a wanted criminal, as well as theatrical, and often records the criminal acts he commits in order to gain fame and recognition online. He cares very deeply about La Brava though, and tries to keep her safe as best she can, even when she’s accompanying him in dangerous situations to film.

Gentle has white, slicked back hair, with an accompanying mustache, eyebrows, and beard (despite being only 32) and vibrant blue eyes. He wears a white pair of pants that compliment La Brava’s, a white top with a cravat piece, two belts, brown loafers with detailing, a purple scarf with matching studded gloves, and a long black tailcoat with a very, very high collar.

Scarlett Beauregarde is a character from the film Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Tim Burton, and is played by Missi Pyle. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is the 2005 version of the story that follows Charlie, a young boy that wins a tour of Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory. Scarlett is the mother of Violet who also goes on the tour.

Scarlett’s look is always nearly identical to her daughter’s and they always match outfits. One of these is a bright pink track suit that she pairs with a pink blouse.

Nellie LaRoy is played by Margot Robbie in the film Babylon, directed by Damien Chazelle. Babylon is a epic period drama set in 1920s Hollywood and how it went from silent pictures to having sound. In the film we follow Nellie LaRoy as she follows her dream of becoming a famous actress and once successful, learns about the dark side of the industry.

Nellie LaRoy’s Wardrobe is one that changes throughout the film as she becomes successful. We first see her in this iconic red outfit that looks like she could’ve put together herself. Recreate this with the full costume or put it together yourself with red light-weight scarves, red shorts, and fashion tape. Another costume that matches her wild personality are the overalls she wears after a party scene- just a dark wash denim pair of overalls with a wide leg. Finally, another great costume to recreate is the costume she wears on set during her first picture with sound. She wears a green and white preppy outfit with suspenders and a tie.

Marianne is a character from the series Normal People and is played by Daisy Edgar-Jones. The show is based off of the original book by Sally Rooney and is about Marianne and Connell who both live in a small Ireland town. They come from different backgrounds and are in and out of each others lives as they grow up and mature throughout the series.

Marianne has a style that changes a lot throughout the series as she gets older and finds herself. We start by seeing her in high school with a uniform, but as she goes to college and beyond that, we see her explore different styles as she is trying to find her own identity. As she gets older her costumes seem to fit her and her personality better, while other times we can see that she is trying new things that don’t really seem like herself. In college she dresses in vintage, colorful pieces that fits in with the cool crowd around her. When she visits Italy, she wears pieces that seem to fit her best and are much more simple like her black maxi dress.

Rika (voiced in Japanese by Kana Hanazawa and in English by Anairis Quiñones) is one of the key characters in the movie Jujutsu Kaisen 0, from the anime/manga series of the same name.

She was Yuta’s childhood friend, but tragically died in a car accident, which turned her into a cursed spirit. This lead to her haunting him for many years, striking at others she didn’t approve of being around him (most people). He still wears her mother’s ring that she gave him when they were little.

Rika has mid-back length brown hair and similarly colored eyes, and her outfit is the same one she wore in life, with a deep blue sleeveless dress, topped with a white collar decorated with hearts and red ribbon, and blue slip on shoes.

Lucky Jackson is a character from the 1964 film Viva Las Vegas and is played by Elvis Presley. Viva Las Vegas is a musical film following Lucky as he prepares for the first Las Vegas Grand Prix and needs an engine, but he loses his money after meeting a girl named Rusty Martin and has to earn it back to make the race on time. This colorful film reflects the charm of both Vegas and Hollywood tropes in both the sets and costumes.

Lucky’s costume are bright and colorful like his yellow blazer he wears dancing and the red waiter uniform he wears when he gets a job with Rusty. She also wears yellow in the film, like her full yellow poolside outfit in “The Lady Loves Me” number, where Lucky wears a gray suit to compliment her and the rest of the environment.
