Frances “Baby” Houseman (Jennifer Grey) develops a crush on dance instructor Johnny Castle after seeing his “dirty dancing” moves. She becomes his dance partner and at first their personalities clash, but they eventually have the time of their lives.

In Red Riding Hood, Valerie (Amanda Seyfried) lives in a village that’s being terrorized by a werewolf. You’d think she’d wear something more low key than a bright red cape.

MacGruber (Will Forte) is the son of the famed MacGyver. Like his father, he often finds himself trapped in a control room with a ticking time bomb. Unlike his father, he brings his troubled home life with him to work.

Helllooo, it’s Mrs. Doubtfire! Daniel Hillard (Robin Williams) creates the alias Mrs. Doubtfire to spend time with his kids after he and his wife separate. At one point he desperately tries to hide his real face by smooshing it into a cake – you could also recreate this look by the same method.

…actually, we usually just call him Clint Eastwood, but either way – Sergio Leonne’s gunslinging, poncho-wearing anti-hero from the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly is one stylish m’f-er.

In Alice, Sweet Alice, a person in a translucent mask and yellow raincoat kills Karen Spages (Brooke Shields) on her day of First Communion. All eyes turn to her older sister Alice (Paula Sheppard), who has a jealous streak and has the same yellow coat.

In Ugly Betty, Betty Suarez (America Ferrera) lands a secretarial job at a high fashion magazine despite her quirky sense of style. When it comes to her clothing, she’s not at all afraid to be bold with colors or patterns.

Mimi Bobeck (Kathy Kinney) made Drew Carey’s work life hell. If she wasn’t calling him names like Doughboy then she was coming up with pranks, like sending him to China while unconscious. You’ll have to have the same self-confidence that she does if you want to pull off her flamboyant look.

In Sucker Punch, Sweet Pea (Abbie Cornish) is Rocket’s older sister and the star of the dance show. Her unique costume has been described as a something of a cross between a nun and an avenging angel.

Johnny Castle (Patrick Swayze) is a dance instructor who pairs up with Baby in Dirty Dancing. He teaches her how to dance and how to have confidence in herself because like he says, “nobody puts Baby in the corner.”
