Marie is a character in the Disney film, The Aristocats. She is the only female kitten of Duchess, and a sister to Berlioz and Toulouse. She is very feminine and makes an effort to appear ladylike. While this attitude makes her quite prissy and spoiled, she has fun playing with her brothers. A hopeless romantic and daydreamer, Marie frequently gets lost in her thoughts, sighing deeply. Pair this inspired look with a pair of white knee socks and shoes, and you’ll be ready to see Paris! For an added feline touch, draw whiskers on with black liquid liner and apply pink blush to your nose.

Jeff Johansen is a metalhead and artist who got his start designing a mural for the Legion in Dead by Daylight.  Jeff’s intimidating look is capped off with a scar over his left eye which he sustained during a fight at a music show.  Despite his stature, Jeff’s personality is far more caring and helps him and his fellow survivors stay alive.  While Jeff’s specific shirt is available for purchase, you could use any shirt depicting a heavy metal group, especially if you are a fan of a specific band.

Red Rush is a character in the animated and comic-book series, Invincible. His real name is Josef, a Russian speedster and a member of the original Guardians of the Globe. His name comes from the color of his suit and his superpower. He is betrayed and murdered by Omni-Man, who he previously considered an ally. His wife, Olga, mourns him. Michael Cudlitz voices Red Rush on the series now streaming on Amazon Prime.

Osana Najimi (voiced by Brittany Lauda) is the first rival the player meets when they start the game Yandere Simulator. She serves as the game’s tutorial and a prickly one at that. Not that you’d know by looking at her style, however. She has a sweet sense of fashion that makes for an excellent cosplay.

Since the game takes place at school, most of Osana’s outfit is a standard school uniform. A white blouse with a blue sailor collar and red necktie, a blue pleated skirt, and black slip on shoes. Her personal style comes in with her long red hair pulled back in pigtails by red scrunches and decorated with a red ribbon bow, and with her pink polka dot socks.

Flora Wingrave (played by Amelie Smith) is the precious younger sister of Miles in the Netflix series The Haunting of Bly Manor.  Flora quickly befriends Dani Clayton when she arrives at Bly as the new governess.  She is a sweet child, though she can at times be rather off-putting and even a bit frightening.  Flora’s costumes often revolve around a sweet purple and pink palette, making for a “perfectly splendid” range of options to choose from when recreating her look.

Uncle Sam first came into use an a recruitment tool in the early 1900s and has been around ever since. His most well-known image circulated during World War II when could be found staring steely-eyed from recruitment posters all over the country. He’s now a staple of Halloween parties and even makes for a great Fourth of July costume if you’re looking to add a new tradition to the holiday!

There have been a few versions of Uncle Sam over the years. A pre-made costume set is the easiest way to get the most well-known version of him but you can trade out a few pieces for a more traditional look. The top hat is the easiest since a white top hat, blue fabric, and white applique stars can recreate the look from the WWII posters.

Finish off the look with a white wig and decorate buckle bands over your favorite pair of black dress shoes!

Peppermint Fizz is a character in the Strawberry Shortcake television series. At first, she is an antiheroine, as her determination and stubbornness drives her to cheat to get her way.

She is also friends with the girls in year four. Her pet is a chameleon named Cola. The animation featured in this costume guide is from the 2007 version. Tie the wig back into a ponytail with a red scrunchie. To finish the look, apply pink blush to the apples of your cheeks.
