Edith is best known from the 1975 documentary Grey Gardens. The documentary captures the odd everyday life of Edith and her daughter Little Edie, former wealthy socialites who live in their decaying Long Island estate together, where they never leave the house. We see their very eccentric and hilarious personalities as they reminisce on their younger years with the occasional singing and dancing.

Edith in most of this documentary is sitting in bed and covered in blankets, but she does have some key outfit moments. She is an older woman, so she sticks with comfortable clothing like sweaters, robes, slippers, sometimes just a towel, and a variety of fun sun hats-even inside the house!

For her Princes dress, Chibiusa (Chibimoon) wears her hair styled up in the same way as she does for the rest of her outfits, but has added on pearl hairpins worn in triple on either side of her bangs, and has a vibrant pink moon on her forehead, mirroring her mother’s.

Her princess dress is a very voluminous and ruffled light pink dress with a high waist trimmed by pearls, a scalloped bodice, and short, ruffled, sleeves. Like the other scouts, she also wears a teardrop necklace, with hers being a pink stone.

Olivia Rodrigo is a pop singer/songwriter whose music continues to skyrocket on the charts. Following the smash success of Sour, her first full length album, Olivia released her new single, “Vampire” just last week. Its promo photo featured two band-aids on her neck, and the aesthetics in the music video certainly allude to Twilight. The music video currently boasts 22 million views plus just over 50 million streams on Spotify. Good 4 u, Olivia!

Stein (voiced in Japanese by Yaya Uchida and in English by Chuck Huber) is one of the main characters in the anime/manga Soul Eater.

A mad scientist/doctor turned teacher, Stein is one of the more concerning characters in Soul Eater (which honestly says a lot), and is the former meister that worked with Maka’s dad, Spirit.

Stein has shaggy light grey hair, and darker-shaded golden eyes (it’s a tricky color to match, I’m sorry), that he wears glasses over. In his head in a large clicking screw, and he has large stitches on his body (in reference to his name). He wears a multi-toned grey shirt held together with large stitches, black pants, a stitched together white labcoat, and greyish-white shoes with similar detailing.

Rusty Martin is a character from the 1964 film Viva Las Vegas and is played by Ann-Margret. Viva Las Vegas is a musical film following Lucky Jackson as he prepares for the first Las Vegas Grand Prix and needs an engine, but he loses his money after meeting Rusty 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.

Rusty’s costumes are very bright and summery with with lots of red and yellow pieces. In her iconic dance class scene, she wears tights and a red shirt, which you can re-create by wearing a red mock neck top with sheer black tights and black spandex shorts over them. She has two different swimsuits, one being the bright all-yellow outfit with a yellow one piece, yellow cover-up and white pointed kitten heels. Another is a red one piece with buttons down the top. And finally when she goes out dancing with Lucky, she matches his yellow blazer by wearing a yellow sleeveless scoop neck dress.

Foo Fighters, often referred to as F.F, is a character in JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. She appears in part 6, which is called Stone Ocean. Eccentric and curious, she is a mix of both a Stand and Stand User – namely a colony of plankton. The body belongs to the deceased Atroe, which F.F takes over as its new host. In the beginning, F.F serves Enrico Pucci, but she becomes allies with Jolyne and Ermes out of thanks for being spared. F.F quickly learns to care about her new friends, though don’t get near her cup of water!

Toadette is a recurring Toad character from the Super Mario Bros. franchise.  She is one of the playable characters in Super Mario Bros. Wonder alongside Mario, Luigi, and others.  Unlike other Toads, Toadette’s color scheme is almost entirely pink.  Her outfit consists of brown shoes, white pants, and a pink dress layered beneath a red and gold vest.  When deciding how to create your Toadette hat, you may want to purchase a pre-made crochet version.  Otherwise, you can use a pink mushroom beret and then add your own pom-poms by running a string of thread from the brim of your hat and through the pom-poms before tying it off at the end.

If you’ve ever wanted to date some of your horror favorites, then Hooked on You: A Dead by Daylight Dating Sim is the game you’ve been waiting for.  It allows players to romance creepy killers including the Huntress, the Trapper, the Wraith, and the Spirit.  Dwight Fairfield and other survivors also make cameo appearances.  Dwight’s look in the dating sim spin-off is quite different from his original costume.  He still has his messy brown hair and square glasses, but he trades out blood stains for a green and white hibiscus shirt, tan shorts, and a yellow neckerchief.  Finish the beachy look with outdoor-friendly shoes and a grey watch.

Parasoul Renoir (voiced by Rie Tanaka and Erin Fitzgerald) is one of the original playable characters in the fighting game Skullgirls.  The princess of the Renoir family, Parasoul is also Umbrella‘s older sister.  Parasoul has red hair with bangs that she sweeps over her right eye.  She wears a black outfit with a high neck, long sleeves, and a mini skirt.  She pairs her clothes with black flats and a silver necklace with the cross of St. Peter, the same worn by her mother.  For her weaponry, Parasoul favors a Luger pistol and the Living Weapon Krieg, which looks like a large, black umbrella.

Sylvia (played by Rose Byrne) is a married mother of three who reconnects with her friend Will following his divorce to kick off the Apple TV series Platonic.  Though she is typically level-headed and responsible, she and Will often find themselves in somewhat ridiculous situations, which can cause tension in her other relationships.  Sylvia wears a number of different outfits throughout the show, including a mustard-colored sweater that makes more than one appearance, and a practical brown leather purse.  After a trip to a Johnny 66, she wears a trucker hat, black crop top, and black high-waisted shorts.  When she meets the owner of the franchise later, she wears a blue and white dotted dress with her mustard sweater layered over top.  She tends to favor gold earrings to accessorize her outfits.
