Women

Enola Holmes

Enola Holmes is the main character of the Netflix movie, Enola Holmes. Alongside being the eponymous protagonist, she is the movie’s narrator. Based on the YA books written by Nancy Springer, Enola is the teenage sister of the famous detective Sherlock Holmes. Like her brother, she possesses incredible intelligence and observational skills, defying the gender norms for the era. Clever and well-read, her mother taught her everything from chess to jujitsu. Following her mother’s disappearance, she travels to London. Pretending to be a traditional Victorian woman, she deciphers and deduces the clues. Millie Bobby Brown, who you may recognize as Eleven from Stranger Things, plays the title role. This costume guide features her notable red gown, her casual blue dress (not pictured), and outfit for archery in the living room. While we can’t see the bottom half of Enola for that last look, we suggest matching white pants or a long white skirt.

Leslie Knope from Parks and Recreation

Leslie Knope (played by Amy Poehler) is the perpetually optimistic and highly-driven civil servant who anchors her co-workers and friends on Parks and Recreation.  Leslie’s dedication to her job inspires others, even her Libertarian co-worker and friend Ron Swanson, to do their best for their community.  Leslie aspires to be President one day and typically wears sensible pants suits while working at the parks department in Pawnee, IN.  For a true Leslie Knope look, you’ll also need a relentlessly positive go-getter attitude and a binder full of ideas (or maybe just Leslie’s thoroughly researched book “Pawnee: The Greatest Town in America”).

lilapitts-umbrellaacademy-character

Lila Pitts from the Umbrella Academy

Lila Pitts (Ritu Arya) is a character in season two of Netflix’s The Umbrella Academy. First introduced as Diego’s fellow psychiatric patient, Lila has a secret behind her witty comebacks and street smarts. She is actually the adopted daughter of The Handler — peep the red boots — and possesses the power of mimicry. She helps carry out her plan to track down Number Five, who supposedly killed her parents. She uses her powers to maim the Hargreeves siblings, but her love for Diego prompts her to turn on her adoptive mother. Emulate her spunky sixties style with choppy hair and smudged eyeshadow.

oz from monster prom

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.

white witch from the chronicles of narnia

Jadis the White Witch from The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe

Jadis, also known as the White Witch (played by Tilda Swinton) is the primary antagonist of The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.  She is the person responsible for freezing Narnia in its one Hundred Years Winter.  Jadis’ clothing is typically white and grey, and she wears a crown of ice with a long wand.  It can be difficult to find an exact replica of her more specialized accessories, but a similar look can be achieved with smaller and more understated crystals.

Ring Fit Trainee from Ring Fit Adventure

Ring Fit Trainee

Ring Fit Trainee is the main character in Ring Fit Adventure, a young woman with workout clothes and orange hair that resembles a flame. Along with Ring, a fiery golden ring, the trainer is on a mission to take down Dragaux.

Gretchen Weiner from Mean Girls

Gretchen Wieners from Mean Girls

Gretchen Wieners (played by Lacy Chabert) is the one non-blonde in the mean girls clique at her school. At least until Cady (played by Lindsey Lohan) starts at their school. Gretchen is largely a people-pleaser though she has her limits. And when she reaches them, watch out! Her temper can be explosive. And when it’s time to move on, Gretchen doesn’t have any problems. It turns out she’s good with people! Just don’t tell Regina that.

Gretchen has two key looks in the film. The first is her Wednesday look. After all, on Wednesday they wear pink. In Gretchen’s case this means a tight pink sweater, a gold plaid skirt, and pink heels paired with a blue purse.

Her other look is the Christmas show look. A red Santa hat, Santa babydoll dress, and black boots are all you need for that look.

In both cases you’ll want a long wavy brown wig and, if you want to carry an accessory, your very own Burn Book. Though I recommend leaving yours blank!

Eru from Hyouka

Eru Chitanda attends Kamiyama High School, and is the president of the Classic Literature Club. She has an enormous amount of curiosity. She tends to get the club members involved in her curiosities, especially her classmate Houtarou. Eru and her friends solve her curiosities and mysteries in Hyouka.

Trucy Wright from Ace Attorney

Trucy Wright from Ace Attorney

Trucy Wright (Kira Buckland / Chieko Higuchi) is Ace Attorney Phoenix Wright‘s adoptive daughter, biologically descended from a long line of talented magicians, the Gramarye family. When she’s not making mischief, doing magic tricks, or a bit of both, she moonlights as an investigative partner for Phoenix’s law agency.

Trucy’s magician roots are evident in the way she dresses herself. This tutorial covers the basic items that make up her costume, but for a more detailed cape with a broach and the playing card-inspired trim, I recommend following this tutorial.
