Adelina Fortnight (voiced by Zoe Saldana) is a character in the stop motion animated film Missing Link.  At the beginning of the movie, the widowed Adelina is angry at Sir Lionel Frost for missing her late husband’s funeral.  Eventually, the two set aside their differences to travel to the Himalayas with the Sasquatch Susan Link to visit his Yeti cousins.  Adelina dresses in Victorian garb to adhere to the timeframe of the movie.  She wears her dark hair in a bun with a few tendrils framing her face and has a beauty mark on her chin which you can recreate with an eyeliner pencil.  When choosing a dress, you can choose to look for one with a pattern similar to Adelina’s or one with a higher collar, though you may not find an exact match.  Complete your look with heels and lace gloves.

Mettaton is a robot with a soul who appears in Undertale.  Spamton includes several references to Mettaton in Deltarune.  Mettaton’s original appearance is a box with rectangular lights, but he is eventually transformed into a more humanoid body created by Alphys.  To create your Mettaton costume, you’ll want to start with a metallic shirt and gloves, black pants, and pink boots.  Then, don a set of black shoulder pads and layer a black tank top with pink skull and crossbones over top.  Add a pink heart sticker to a metallic silver belt and don’t forget your emo wig to complete the look.

Henry Sugar is a character from the new short film by Wes Anderson: The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar, and is played by Benedict Cumberbatch. Wes Anderson has released a series of four short films on Netflix that are based on the stories of Roald Dahl. This film follows Henry Sugar, a rich man who attempts to have the ability to see with his eyes closed, so that he can use the skill in gambling.

Henry Sugar wears a variety of costumes in this film, but one that stands out are his bright red pajamas with white piping detail, as seen on the cover. Another he wears is a light all cream, white, and gray costume. This costume consists of a gray blazer, cream sweater, light gray tie, and a white button down shirt.

Spot (voiced by Jason Schwartzman) is the primary antagonist of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.  Once a scientist at Alchemax named Dr. Johnathan Ohnn, Spot’s mutated appearance is the result of Spider-Man destroying Kingpin‘s Super-Collider in the first film of the series.  Spot begins as a comedic villain, but eventually, his determination to destroy Miles’ life turns him into something much more sinister.  To recreate Spot’s villainous appearance, you’ll need to start with a full white bodysuit and matching shoes.  Then, add splotches of black to the costume using fabric paint.  You can paint them on with brushes and/or add them with a dimensional paint using the plastic tip, depending on your preference.  Make sure you leave plenty of time for the paint to dry before you intend to wear your costume.

Posey is from the first run of Living Dead Dolls, and is labeled as a ‘buried alive’ character.

She has extremely long golden-auburn hair worn in a mid-part, fully whited out eyes with blue ringing them and matching lipstick, and a wound over her eye. Her outfit is similar to an old styled nightgown, but weathered in a way that looks like it was saturated in mud. Her doll accessory is a single white rose.

Riza (voiced in Japanese by Michiko Neya [2003] and Fumiko Orikasa [2009], and in English by Colleen Clinkenbeard [Funimation Dub] and Muriel Hofmann [Animax Dub]) is a major character in the Fullmetal Alchemist series.

She is Roy Mustang’s closest confidant and personal bodyguard, as well as the military’s best sharpshooter specialist, in addition to her rank as Lieutenant. She also has a pet dog named Black Hayate that she acquired after he was brought in by Fuery, being the only one suitable in the crew for taking care of him.

Riza has long, golden hair, usually worn up in the back with a flat brown clip, and her eyes are a deep chocolatey brown. She also wears silver stud earrings. The main outfit we see her in is a rank-specific Amestrian military uniform, all in that shade of medium blue, with silver detailing everywhere. She also wears black, shin-high boots, and is generally seen carrying some sort of firearm (she has a few, up to you which one would work best for your cosplay purposes, please keep in mind that cons generally have peace-bonding restrictions on prop guns!).

Homura (voiced in Japanese by Chiwa Saito and in English by Cristina Valenzuela) is one of the major main characters in the anime/manga series Puella Magi Madoka Magica.

She is a very diversely written character, treading a fine line between being the protagonist and technically being the villain, due to the constant wearing down on her mental state from every new time iteration she goes through to keep Madoka safe. For this one, I’ve chosen to do her main magical girl outfit.

Homura has very long black hair, that she wears a dark headband on, and greyish purple eyes. Her magical girl outfit consists of a white, grey, and black top with a purple ribbon on the neck, a grey and white skirt, and black tights with purple diamonds down the sides, which lead into a sort of high-heel end (I included some flats if you want it to blend in better with the tights, but high heels of choice are also an option). She also carries her reality warping shield while in combat.

Reimi Sugimoto is a character in Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure. She appears in the fourth part, Diamond is Unbreakable. She roams the hidden streets of Moiroh as a friendly ghost, seeking help to bring her killer, Yoshikage Kira, to justice. She later meets Rohan Kishibe and Koichi Hirose, who vow to catch Kira. Reimi recognizes Rohan, for she saved him from Kira when he was a baby. Although trapped in the alleyways, Reimi is a friendly, playful girl. You can usually find Reimi accompanied by her dog, Arnold, who was also Kira’s victim.

Olivier (voiced in Japanese by Yōko Sōmi and in English by Stephanie Young) is an important character in the later half of the Fullmetal Alchemist series, only seen in the manga and Brotherhood.

Like her younger brother Alex, she is part of the army that the majority of the rest of the cast report under, and is a high ranking Major General, stationed at Fort Briggs of Amestris. While known for her steady and unrelenting leadership, leading to her having the nickname of ‘Ice Queen’, she also cares very deeply for her subordinates, giving them unexpectedly leeway while still maintaining a front of control.

Olivier has the same light golden hair as the rest of her family, worn long and down over one eye, with her other visible one a very pretty blue. Her lips are also very full and glossy. The uniform she wears is a slightly different version to the regular Amestris army one that we see, as she’s stationed in a much colder place. The base uniform is still the same, in those specific shade of blues and silvers, but she wears a thick black coat with a white fur trim over top, with white gloves, and shin-high black boots. Her weapon of choice is a sword that she keeps on her person.

Josie is a character from the film Bottoms, and is played by Ayo Edebiri. Bottoms follows Josie and her best friend PJ who are seniors at Rock Ridge High School. They create a fight club together at their school to get the attention of her crush Brittany.

Josie has a more quiet and calm personality compared to PJ and this reflects into her costumes. While PJ sticks to warm colors, Josie wears cool ones with lots of blue and green. One recognizable costume is her blue rugby oversized shirt that would make a great duo/matching costume with Josie in the scene that wears a red one. Her other costume is a green jacket, a velvet graphic shirt, a half-heart necklace, and an arm sling.
