Florence Henderson is best known for portraying one of television’s most beloved mothers, Carol Brady. The matriarch of a large blended family that has more than its fair share of adventures, Carol is the cool and compassionate leader when things go astray. When, that is, her kids let her in on the mischief. After all it’s not easy keeping up with six kids with appetites for adventure like the Brady kids have!

Carol’s look straddles the split between the ’60s and the ’70s. She wears her hair short and usually opts for dresses over pants, though she can be found in pants when she’s got business to take care of. For a look close to period-accurate, go for a plaid dress with a Pater Pan collar and long sleeves. Accessorize with a white patent leather belt and matching boots over nylons as well as a headband over a wig that matches Carol’s bob. Finish the look off with Mrs. Brady’s wedding ring for the ultimate TV mom look.

In the anime series Fairy Tail, Mavis Vermillion (voiced by Mamiko Noto and Leah Clark) is one of the founders of the Fairy Tail Guild and the first Guild Master.  Mavis has long blonde hair with a small ahoge.  She wears a long pink robe with a bow around the neck and wing-like adornments in her hair.  While Mavis prefers to go barefoot, a bare of nude-colored ballet flats can help you imitate her look while keeping your feet protected from the elements.

Rosalie Hale is a character in the Twilight saga. She is the adoptive daughter of Carlisle and Esme Cullen, and is married to Emmett Cullen. In Forks, she is “twins” with  Jasper Hale. With her stunning beauty comes a vainglorious personality, thus explaining her jealousy towards Bella Swan. She disapproves of Edward’s romance, as she never thought he’d find a human more attractive than her. Rosalie is also jealous of her humanity, and when the Cullens vote on whether to turn Bella into a vampire, she votes no because she never had a choice. But eventually she accepts Bella as part of the family and treats Reneessme like her own daughter. Nikki Reed portrays Rosalie in the movie adaptations. In the iconic baseball scene set to “Supermassive Black Hole” by Muse, she plays offense, and notably gets angry when Bella declares she’s out.
