Men
Beat from Jet Set Radio
Beat (ビート, Biito) is the game’s mascot and the main playable character in the Sega series Jet Set Radio. He’s a teenager who, together with his gang GG, enjoys skating around Tokyo, marking his territory with graffiti, and causing mischief that sets off the police captain and SWAT team.
Baron Helmut Zemo from Captain America: Civil War
Baron Helmut Zemo is a classic Marvel villain. He was brought to life in Captain America: Civil War by Daniel Bruhl. And though his character is not quite so evil in the movie as in the comics, his impact is just as strong. After all, who can’t relate to the desire to stop those we blame for our family’s deaths?
Zemo’s costume in the movie is much simpler than in the comics. He wants to blend in and so he wears clothes that are easy to ignore. A grey sports coat and matching dress pants. A black button down, black leather belt, and black leather shoes. He has a little bit of stubble growing in but nothing noteworthy. And his brown hair is styled with a simple side-sweep.
His only visible accessory is a brown leather shoulder bag. But the bag isn’t as important as what’s inside. To really complete a Zemo costume you need the red notebook that contains the code words that give you control of the Winter Soldier. You can also get a copy of Mission Report: December 16th 1991 if you want to add a bit more to the bag.
Of course this costume also makes it easy to pay Zemo’s comic origins a little homage. A purple ski mask and a golden circlet crown is an easy – if a bit cheeky – addition to the costume.
Oz from Monster Prom
Oz is the yellow playable character in the visual novel game Monster Prom. Oz is established as non-binary with masculine pronouns by default (though these pronouns can be changed in-game). Oz is made entirely of fear, which accounts for his appearance as being made of dark matter. His school clothes include a golden yellow cardigan and dark grey pants, with a gold watch. To create Oz’s look, you can use a black body suit and add his white eyes and eyebrows with fabric pens. If you’re feeling particularly creative, you could craft the small black creatures (who represent individual phobias) that attach to him by using black felt, a little stuffing, and the same white fabric pens.
Lucifer Morningstar from Lucifer
Lucifer (Tom Ellis) is the eponymous protagonist of the hit show Lucifer. Getting bored with ruling Hell, he defies his father and flees to Earth. He spends his time drinking, partying, and flirting as the owner of LA’s hottest nightclub, LUX. When he becomes involved in a murder, he meets Detective Chloe Decker. After helping her solve the murder, he agrees to be her consultant for the LAPD. Despite his charismatic and indulgent personality, Lucifer realizes he’s changing, but his stubbornness and selfishness keep him from revealing the truth. Other celestial characters such as Amenadiel and Eve try to get him to return to Hell, yet as events unfold, Lucifer and Chloe allow their love for each other to prevail through the hellish darkness. Use a stipple sponge and black eyeshadow to achieve his stubble.

Above all, Rengoku is an honorable warrior whose mantra comes from his mother: those who were born strong have a duty to protect the weak.

Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg from The Fifth Element
In Luc Besson’s The Fifth Element, Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg (played by Gary Oldman) is a weapons dealer who falls in league with Mr. Shadow, also known as the Ultimate Evil intent on destroying Earth. Zorg attacks Leeloo while looking for the four elemental stones, though his plans are eventually thwarted by Korben Dallas and others. Recreating Zorg’s futuristic look may take some time if you want to get the pieces just right, but you can always tone down his wet-look holographic clothes by choosing slightly more muted pieces in similar colors. By getting crafty with some clear plastic and a small toupee, you can evoke a look that is similar to Zorg’s unique hair and futuristic head piece.
Kicks from Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Kicks is one of the wandering merchants that show up on your island at random in the game Animal Crossing: New Horizons. He sets himself up in the town square when he arrives and stays until late that night. Kicks is a skunk, but don’t let that put you off. Because if there is one thing about him that doesn’t stink, it’s his sense of fashion! Whether it’s shoes, socks, handbags, or accessories, he’s always got the latest and greatest!
The challenge with Animal Crossing characters is deciding how much of their animal nature to include. You can copy Kicks’ look by just copying his clothes or you can use black body paint and white body paint to achieve his classic skunk markings. You will also need peach body paint to create his nose.
In both cases you will want a white wig and pomade for styling as well as a yellow driver’s cap. A cream button down shirt, tan suspenders, yellow knee pants, brown boots, and white gloves make up the rest of his outfit. If you decide to go for the animal-accurate look you will also want black ears and a skunk tail in addition to your body paint.
