Fluttershy from My Little Pony: Equestria Girls
Fluttershy (voiced by Andrea Libman) is part of the main group of characters in the TV series, My Little Pony: Friendship is magic. This article will be covering her human variation from Equestria Girls.
Her hair is similar to how she wears it as a pony, with it being long and light pink, and her eyes are a dark turquoise, which she wears a dusty pink eyeshadow over, on her lids. She wears a thick strap white tank-top with a yellow-green highwaisted skirt over top, detailed with various pink-colored butterfly designs, and a combination of white and pink underskirts. The outfit is finished off with a white and green butterfly hairclip, deep pink knee-high socks with white polka-dots on them, and knee-high boots that match the color of her skirt, with white details and innards.
The Fates from Hadestown
The Fates (originally played by Jewell Blackman, Kay Trinidad, and Yvette Gonzalez-Nacer on Broadway) are mischievous characters in the musical Hadestown. Often found interfering with Eurydice and making her life more difficult, the Fates are three characters dressed in shades of black, white, and grey who work together throughout the show. None of their costumes are exactly alike, but they use similar pieces to create a cohesive group costume. Start with a flowy white and black patterned dress, and add a black waist belt. Tuck your hair beneath a black and white turban and clip on a black fascinator. Finish with black tights and heels, and a dab of black lipstick.
Mrs. Doyle from Father Ted
Mrs. Doyle (portrayed by Pauline McLynn) is the dowdy housekeeper from the comedy series Father Ted. She works for the titular Father Ted Crilly, Father Jack Hackett, and Father Dougal McGuire. Mrs. Doyle has messy hair and wears modest clothing. To create your costume, you’ll need dark pantyhose, oxford shoes, and a brown midi-length skirt. Pair this with a floral blouse that includes a tie feature at the collar. Mrs. Doyle also wears smocks over her clothes as part of her houskeeping attire, so choose one in a neutral color and complete your costume with a cozy oversized cardigan.
Mackenzie Carpenter from Drive Thru
Mackenzie Carpenter (played by Leighton Meester) is the protagonist of the horror movie Drive Thru. Mackenzie and her friends are targeted by a demonic mascot, Horny the Clown. Her style is true to the time the film was made, relying on the punk/emo aesthetic of the early 2000s. Mackenzie wears several different outfits throughout the movie, but two of the most memorable are worn while she’s chased by the killer mascot. To create your costume, start with eyeliner, black nail polish, and a thick black leather cuff watch. Then, choose which outfit to recreate. Earlier in the film, Mackenzie wears low rise grey jeans, a skull print tee, and a black zip up hoodie with white graphics. Later, she wears black combat boots, wide leg camo pants, and a burgundy tank top.
Ms. Frizzle from The Magic School Bus
Ms. Valerie Frizzle (voiced by Lily Tomlin) is the eccentric teacher at the heart of the PBS animated series The Magic School Bus. Ms. Frizzle is loved by her students and known to often take them on incredible field trips with the help of the titular bus. Ms. Frizzle has frizzle ginger hair she wears in a messy bun and often dons boldly batterned dresses with matching shoes and accessories that tie in with her lesson plan. To create your costume, focus on bold funky prints that such as space or dinosaurs and pair them with thematic earrings and shoes. If you can’t find a collared dress, remember that you can layer a simpler dress over a blouse to achieve a similar look and that you can add pins or other accessories to simple shoes to make them look more appropriate. Complete your look with a wig and Liz Ard purse so you can take your trusty chameleon sidekick with you on your next field trip!
Cassandra from KAOS
Cassandra is a character from the new Netflix series KAOS, and is played by Billie Piper. KAOS is a modern dark comedy series that is inspired by the characters and stories of Greek mythology.
To dress like Cassandra, start with an oversized denim jacket. Distress with things like sandpaper and acrylic or fabric paint focused at the seams. Wear a maroon tank top, flannel layered between the jacket and tank, and any pants or jeans and shoes. Use black eyeliner and eyeshadow to smudge around the eyes and create a line down the nose. You can also use the black eyeshadow to smudge on the neck, face, and top of the chest to create the dirty look. Tease your hair to create the messy style and put it half up in a ponytail.
Dark Princess Animatronic by Spirit Halloween
Dark Princess is an animatronic that was released with the ‘Carnevil’ set of themeing from Spirit Halloween for the 2024 season. A tiny powerhouse of a jumpscare, she pops up from her base and screams to startle passersby.
Her lore tells us that she was curious about the goings-on down on Earth and decided to start hunting reapers, until she came across Lucifer and was captivated by his beauty. He convinced her to join him and start tempting humans into darkness, and now she works at his side causing chaos and destruction.
Dark Princess’ design is fairly simple for an animatronic, with her color scheme being very monochromatic. Her hair is shoulder length and styled in a hime type cut, her face is heavily distorted with her eyes and mouth being black stretched out voids, and she has fabric draped black wings. She has a black underskirt, and a white dress with a peter pan collar and the hems of her skirt and sleeves dip-dyed in a blackish-grey that’s seemingly consuming the white.
Persephone from Hadestown
Persephone (originated on Broadway by Amber Grey) is the wife of Hades in the musical Hadestown. Persephone is meant to spend half the year in the human realm, and half in the underworld with her husband. During the musical, this balance is thrown off and Persephone spends less and less time above ground with Hermes, Orpheus, and Eurydice, which results in harsher and harsher weather. Persephone’s costume is meant to evoke the hopeful green of springtime. It’s difficult to find an exact replica of her bright green dress, so don’t be afraid to play with layers and textures to build your silhouette. Try layering a lace long top beneath a buff sleeve blouse and then pairing them with a green asymmetrical skirt. You’ll need a flower crown for your hair, black tights and booties, and a floral detailed tote bag. Finish the look with a luxuious faux fur coat.
Rachel “Ray” Gardner from Angels of Death
Rachel (voiced in Japanese by Haruka Chisuga and in English by Meg McClain) is the main character in the Angels of Death franchise.
She is an amnesiac teenage girl that wakes up in an unfamiliar place, and then gets thrown unwittingly into a death game as the sacrifice for all the floor masters. She ends up getting chased around by Zack, a serial killer, who violates the rules of the floor and gets wrapped up into the same predicament as her. They form a truce of sorts, where he agrees to kill her when they get out, as long as she helps him escape.
Rachel has long blonde hair and her eyes are a dull blue (though this changes slightly throughout the series). She wears a black and white striped baggy shirt, with an oversized white cardigan over it, and short black shorts. Her outfit is finished off with a solid black choker necklace, a black shoulder bag, and black ankle boots with side buckles.
Ichiko Ohya from Persona 5/Royal
Ohya (voiced in Japanese by Yumi Uchiyama and in English by Amanada Winn-Lee) is a secondary character in the Persona 5 series.
She is a paparazza and is determined to be the first one on the scene when it comes to finding out information about the Phantom Thieves. You end up making a deal with her, and she becomes a part of your Confidants roster, with her assigned arcana card being that of ‘The Devil’.
Ohya has a short black bob cut, and light brown eyes. She wears red lipstick, and a pair of orange tinted sunglasses on top of her head, in addition to her camera around her neck. Her main outfit consists of a white long sleeved undershirt with a black t-shirt with the worlds ‘low life fight the power’ on it in bright pinks and blues, light blue jeans, and black converse-type shoes. She finishes this off with a light pink fannypack worn backwards around her waist through her belt loops, and a water bottle attached to a carrying harness.
