Rotty (the small spotty one in the image) is a minor character in the video game Alice’s Warped Wonderland/Alice in Distortionworld.

He plays a very small part, as he only appears in one area, but he is a child-like character that is made of rotten bread, hence the name. There are other bread-men characters within that section of the game, but he is the only one that looks like that, the others are alarmingly buff.

Rotty has dark eyes (in game, though his chibi form looks a bit different) and his entire body is comprised of bread with several mold spots, and he doesn’t wear clothes (Ken doll-esque). The main prop-type piece he’s seen with, in the brief part of the game he shows up in, is a large fork.

Umbrellas of Cherbourg is a French musical film from 1964, and is directed by Jacques Demy. This colorful film follows Genevieve who works at a local boutique that sells umbrellas as she meets Guy, a mechanic who later becomes drafted and their relationship is tested.

Guy has a classic menswear style but is unique in that his outfits include bright pops of color. One look that can be easily recreated includes a khaki raincoat worn over a blue pinstriped blazer, and underneath that a pink button down shirt with a navy printed tie. Another is a brown blazer with a bright blue teal shirt.

Faith Mitchell (played by Iantha Richardson) is a main character in the TV series Will Trent, based on the Karin Slaughter book series of the same name.  Faith is paired with GBI agent Will Trent, who once investigated her mother and forced her into retirement.  She also has a very close relationship with GBI Deputy Director Amanda Wagner.  Faith is a smart and determined investigator with an excellent sense of style that often relies on unique shoes and sweater vests. There are lots of looks from the show to choose from, including a red and white striped button down with a white and black vest, or a color block vest and grey blazer with retro sneakers.

Haruhi (voiced in Japanese by Maaya Sakamoto and in English by Caitlin Glass) is the main character of the anime/manga Ouran High School Host Club.

The story starts off with Haruhi knocking over a very expensive vase in the club’s room and breaking it, leading to a very large debt that needs to be paid back. This ends up with Haruhi working in the club to cover the expenses, dealing with the other members eccentricities along the way.

Haruhi has short cut brown hair, which had to be cut after getting gum stuck in it prior to the start of the story, and soft brown eyes. Like the rest of the club members, Haruhi wears the school’s uniform, in the boy’s variation. The jacket is a mid-toned light blue with the school’s emblem on it as an applique, and is worn over a white button up shirt, with a black tie detailed with purple stripes. The lower half of the uniform consists of black slacks and matching shoes.

Gregory is a character in the school comedy series Abbott Elementary, and is played by Tyler James Williams. Gregory is a first grade teacher at the elementary school in the series. He is a newer teacher at the school and we follow him as he begins teaching there and grows and learns from it.

Gregory has a very simple but distinct style that is very fitting for a school teacher. To dress like him, wear a red polo long sleeve shirt with a plaid-printed dress pant. Another is a navy dotted shirt with a matching navy tie, and he always wears a blue lanyard to hold his ID just like the other teachers at Abbott.

David is the main character from the A24 film The Lobster, and is played by Colin Farrel. The Lobster is set in a dystopian society where people have to get into a relationship within 45 days or they are transformed into an animal of their choice. We follow David throughout the film as he struggles to find someone to be with despite his quiet personality.

To dress like David, wear a black poncho with a green raincoat or a navy blue blazer, blue shirt, and navy striped tie.

The role of Richard Simmons has been given to Pauly Shore, who stars as the spirited aerobics personality in the short film The Court Jester, as well as a feature-length biopic under development with The Wolper Organization.

Saint Brigid (played by Dawn Bradfield) is the wish-granting fairy who transforms Maddie Kelly‘s life in the Netflix romcom Irish Wish.  The character is loosely based on one of the three national saints of Ireland.  In the film, Saint Brigid wears a green and maroon outfit with her hair wrapped in a silk scarf.  A green kurta will provide a similar silhouette and you can add details with maroon fabric paint.  Finish your look with a floral scarf and maroon flats.

Duncan Wedderburn is one of the main characters from the film Poor Things, and is played by Mark Ruffalo. Poor Things is a truly unique film directed by Yorgos Lanthimos and follows Bella Baxter, a woman who is reanimated and goes again through stages of childhood to adulthood throughout the film. She goes on an adventure to see the world with lawyer Duncan Wedderburn.

To dress like Duncan, wear a three-piece gray suit with a white shirt, black bow tie, black leather gloves, a straw boater hat with black wig on, and a black cane with a gold handle.

Kars is a primary antagonist in Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure Part 2: Battle Tendency. He is one of the Pillar Men, four immortal  beings who designed the Stone Mask (which turned Dio into a vampire). Joseph Joestar and Caesar Zeppeli must defeat them using Hamon. Kars seeks the Red Stone of Aja, which will grant him the ability to endure sunlight and reach his ultimate form. Aside from his superior strength and speed, he wields razor sharp blades from his gauntlets. A notable Kars moment is when he uses Lisa Lisa’s leg as a guitar.
