Ashildr
Originally a Viking child encountered by the 12th Doctor on the BBC series Doctor Who, Ashildr (Maisie Williams) became immortal after the Doctor resurrected her from death. She took advantage of her immortality, traveling the world and assuming many aliases – so many that she eventually took the simple name “Me”. She lives to the end of time and then, due to the wonderfully pliable time laws of Doctor Who, encounters the Doctor once again. This is for her outfit in the episode ‘Face the Raven’, when she is mayor of a London town inhabited by aliens. For the tattoos, use body paint or a handy eyeliner pencil.
Chang Wufei
A descendant of Chinese warriors, Chang Wufei pilots gundam Shenlong in the anime TV series Gundam WIng. He is a fierce, conflicted, emotionally volatile pilot, often triggered into impassioned outbursts and refusing to fight against those he deems weak. Before he piloted Shenlong, he was married to a woman named Meiran as per his clan’s customs. When she died in an Alliance attack on their colony, he took up his fight for justice in her name. He wears high-waisted baggy white pants over a blue tank top and sports a short ponytail.
Noah Dietrich
In The Aviator, Noah Dietrich (John C. Reilly) is Howard Hughes‘ chief executive officer for his business empire. He served Hughes from 1925 to 1957, before they had a falling out over Dietrich’s capital gains income. Though the portrayal is accurate in terms of style, personality, and mannerisms, one criticism is that the film downplayed his role in Hughes’ success.
Branch Connally
The handsome and physically fit Branch Connally (Bailey Chase) serves as a deputy in the Absaroka county Sheriff’s Department on the TV series Longmire. His family has ancestral roots in the Wyoming county and was one of the first families to build it into a bustling city. His family also has a history of violence and blind force of will; both characteristics cause conflict and tragedy for Branch. This guide covers his official Sheriff Department’s uniform.

As the main female lead of the series, she grows from a somewhat timid, reluctant participant to a determined, driven young woman. She is often seen in her trademark school uniform.

How Do You Do, Fellow Kids?
The “How Do You Do, Fellow Kids?” meme came from an episode of 30 Rock, where 55-year-old private investigator named Lenny Wosniak (Steve Buscemi) goes undercover as a high school student. Make sure to get two skateboards for this costume, one to casually hold under your arm and another to sling over your shoulder like a cool kid.
