“Oh snap!” Raven Baxter (Raven Symone) is the protagonist of the Disney Channel show That’s So Raven. She is a confident, fun-loving teenager who struggles to hide the fact that she can see the future. Her psychic visions only show a small segment of what will happen, so she tends to read it the wrong way. Hilarity ensues as she scrambles to change the event, blowing the whole thing out of proportion. Usually she recruits her two best friends, Chelsea and Eddie, to help. Aside from her powers, Raven adores fashion, with a love for making and designing outfits. An all grown up Raven stars in the sequel/spin-off, Raven’s Home, where her son inherits her psychic abilities.

K.C. Cooper (Zendaya) is the main character of the Disney Channel series, K.C. Undercover. The plot follows K.C. Cooper, who seems like a normal tomboyish high schooler, but she’s actually an undercover spy. Both of her parents are spies and she aspires to follow in their footsteps. After successfully completing her first mission, she joins the spy network called The Organization. Smart and sharp-witted, her talents range from mathematics to basketball.

Frita is one of several sisterly villagers that might take up residence on your island in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. With a love for good food and K.K.’s Rockabilly music, she’s lively and fun. Don’t push it, though! She’s tough under all that wool!

One option with a character like Frita is to go all-in to get the same sheep-like look. In this case, however, we’re going for a version that blends human features with Frita’s most memorable traits. This includes her horns, her hotdog-style shirt, and a yellow ruffle skirt to imitate the wool ruff under her shirt.

You’ll have to do a little DIY and paint the hot dog design onto a shirt using soft touch fabric paint. And also have to paint the red and yellow bands on a set of horns, then cover the black base with green ribbon to mimic the green in Frita’s fur.

Aside from that, however, all you’ll need to complete the look is a pair of brown leggings, yellow ballet flats, yellow nail polish, and a yellow ruffled scarf to finish off the costume!

The Blue Fairy is a major character in the classic Disney movie Pinocchio. Kind and selfless, the Blue Fairy is a magical being who rewards good behavior by granting their wishes.

Queen Elinor (Emma Thompson) is a main character in the 2012 Disney Pixar animated movie, Brave. She shares the throne with her husband, King Fergus, as the monarchs of DunBroch, a Scottish kingdom. Whereas her daughter Merida is independent and free-spirited, her mother is the epitome of sternness, poise, and tradition. So when her daughter wants to shoot for her own hand, Elinor is outraged, as she believes it’s her duty as a princess to continue the royal line. She throws the bow into the fireplace out of anger, and Merida runs off crying. When she returns, she gives her mother a cake as a peace offering, but it accidentally turns her into a giant black bear! Together they try to break the curse, and ultimately  Elinor softens towards her daughter, becoming more thoughtful and understanding.

Penny is an employee at Papa’s Freezeria in the mobile game Papa Louie.  She first appears in When Pizza Attacks!  Penny’s outfit is purple and white, with a purple flower hairclip and a white tunic with purple flowers along the bottom hem.  To recreate her look, you can simply look for a tank top with similar color scheme, or make your own by using a white flowy tank top and adding your own flowers to it.

Most people know Robin Wright as Princess Buttercup from the movie The Princess Bride. In 2017’s Wonder Woman audiences discovered that Buttercup had transformed into the mighty Antiope. Sister to Queen Hippolyta and aunt to the fearsome Diana, Antiope is the beloved general of the Amazonian warriors. Her own sister calls her the greatest warrior their people have ever known. And without her Wonder Woman would never have become the hero she is today.

Unfortunately it’s hard to get Antiope’s armor without spending a large chunk of change. Leather armor is pricy and there are many distinct and custom pieces to this costume. There are, however, a few pieces you can use to get close and recreate her look pretty closely without making a huge investment. This will let you upgrade your costume over time if you find yourself reaching for your Antiope costume pretty regularly.

One piece – Antiope’s helm or crown – comes from Etsy and is custom made. It is fairly pricy for a single piece. But it is one of her most iconic pieces and well worth the investment.

You’ll want a long blonde wig to wear as well, given that Robin Wright wore her signature blonde hair long for the role. A Roman base costume gives you the general look of Amazon body armor which you can then add leather wrist bracers, a leather shoulder guard, and dark brown leather boots too. Wielding an Amazon sword and a couple of costume daggers, you’re ready to lead your sister Amazons into battle!
