The Beldam (Coraline’s “Other Mother”)
In the creepiest kid’s movie you’ll ever see, the Beldam (Teri Hatcher) is a creature that exists in an alternate world discovered by Coraline’s titular character. Posing as a more fun version of Coraline’s (Dakota Fanning) mother, the Beldam in its true form is a tall and willowy spider-like creature who kidnaps children and loves them obsessively until they die. The main physical difference between Coraline’s true mother and the Beldam in her mother’s form are the two shiny black buttons that cover her eyes.

While doing so, she works as an underground transporter and lives with her love interest, Shinra Kishitani (Jun Fukuyama / Yuri Lowenthal). She is almost always seen in her black catsuit and yellow motorcycle helmet, as she’s self-conscious about the fact that she lacks a head.
Zoe Washburne
The devoted first officer and right-hand-man of captain Malcolm Reynolds, Zoe Washburne (Gina Torres) serves up a military attitude, wry wisecracks and crack shots in the first and only season of the fan-favorite TV show Firefly. Dressed like a Brown Coat (the rebel faction she and Mal served under) in a leather vest, gun holster and weathered boots, she looks as tough as she acts.
Bombshell Mera

Her next post lands her on the USS Discovery, a science vessel with a mysterious mission and a captain willing to do anything to achieve his goal. As a child she was raised by Sarek, the father of Spock from the original Star Trek series, and her demeanor and posture reflect her Vulcan upbringing.
Julie Winters from The Maxx
Julie Winters is the freelance social worker in the comic book and MTV animated series: The Maxx. Julie’s style evolves around seduction and attitude. Sultry, but with a military-like aesthetic. She is a troubled woman with a dark past trying to find her way in the world. When she’s not being a jungle queen within her and the Maxx’s sub consciousness, she’s working but dreading her profession in the city listening to people’s problems while shutting out her own.
To achieve her look, you’ll need: a cut off ‘cropped’ white tank top, black fishnet shorts, distressed/cut blue jeans, a classic brown leather belt, a burgundy colored scrunchie, a green army jacket, (black doc martins are optional), and of course, blonde hair pulled into a grungy pigtail.
Molly Hooper
Miss Molly Hooper (Louise Brealey), a specialist registrar who works in the morgue of St. Bartholomew’s Hospital, is a close friend of one Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch) in the BBC series Sherlock. Under her work-appropriate lab coat, Molly is often seen wearing clothing that could perhaps by described as a little frumpy and comfortable. She is a generally unassuming woman, only flaring up at Sherlock when the situation calls for it.
Bombshell Zatanna
DC Bombshells is an alternate reality where the female superheroes guard the homefront during WWII. In this reality, Zatanna is a magician modeled after the classic pinups of the 1940’s.
