Velma is one of the main characters from the 2002 film Scooby-Doo, and is played by Linda Cardellini. This movie is a live-action take on the original Scooby-Doo cartoons. It follows the classic group as they travel to Spooky Island to investigate paranormal incidents at a spring break spot.

Velma’s look follows the original cartoon very closely and brings it to life in a realistic way. To dress like Velma, wear an orange turtleneck sweater, a red skirt, tall orange socks, red wedge shoes, a brown bob wig and black framed glasses.

Maestro is a film directed by Bradley Cooper who also stars as the protagonist, Leonard Bernstein. The film is a biopic of Leonard Bernstein’s life and rise to fame as a successful conductor. Carey Mulligan in the film plays Felicia Montealegre, an actress and wife of Bernstein. We get to see her life alongside him as they grow old and face different struggles.

Earlier in the film, when Felicia is younger at a party, we see her wear an elegant outfit that features a light blue dress paired with 3 strands of pearls. Later she wears a recognizable look of a tweed blazer and skirt with a pink bow blouse.

The new trailer for the second Beetlejuice film released recently and is called Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, planned to release this fall of 2024. The film takes place in the future after the previous one we all know from 1988. Most of the cast is the same as the original, playing their original characters.

One of the characters returning is Lydia Deetz, played again by Winona Ryder. To dress like Lydia as we can see her in the trailer, wear a black coat over a maxi black skirt, black boots, and oversized black sunglasses. Add a black wig with bangs to create her iconic style with choppy bangs.

Alice is the main antagonist of The Penguins of Madagascar series, a Nickelodeon spinoff of the Dreamworks movie. She is a zookeeper, though she doesn’t seem to enjoy her job. Instead she relies on a voice automated robot to avoid annoying tour group questions. Alice and the penguins have a mutual dislike for each other, and she believes they’re always scheming.

Yodana (voiced by Lisa Ng), more commonly referred to as Dana, is a character in the Wayside cartoon movie and TV series.  Dana is a strict rule follower, easily excitable, and a diligent student who wants the approval of her teacher Mrs. Jewls.  She is friends with Todd, Myron, and Maurecia.  Dana has purple hair parted in the middle and wears round-frame glasses.  She wears green and white sneakers with tall white socks and tan cargo shorts.  Her shirt is green striped and may be difficult to find an exact match for, so look for shirts with horizontal stripes in shades of green whose sleeves you can wear above your elbow.

Ochaco (voiced in Japanese by Ayane Sakura and in English by Luci Christian) is one of the main characters in the anime/manga series, My Hero Academia.

She is a student in the 1-A class at U.A High School, and is training to be a Pro-Hero under the title ‘Uravity’, with a specialty in martial arts. Her Quirk, Zero Gravity, enables her to float both herself and other people/items around her, aiding in rescue efforts when necessary. She is empathetic towards villains, and tries her best to reach out to Toga, offering herself up as someone to really listen to her.

There was a prior article done on her Uravity hero outfit, so if you are interested in that one as well, here’s where you can find the information on it! For her school uniform, her eyes and hair are unchanged (though she is sometimes seen with a ponytail in official artworks), and she wears the standard grey UA jacket, over a white button up shirt, and red tie, with the very dark tealy-green pleated skirt. The look is finished off with opaque black tights, and brown standard-looking loafers.

The new trailer for the second Beetlejuice film released recently and is called Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, planned to release this fall of 2024. The film takes place in the future after the previous one we all know from 1988. Most of the cast is the same as the original, playing their original characters we all know and love. Although, there is one main character that is joining the bunch, played by Jenna Ortega. Her character is named Astrid Deetz. Although we aren’t exactly sure what her story is yet, we know Ortega will bring something new and exciting to the film based on her past performance as Wednesday. Both that series and this film have been directed by Tim Burton.

Astrid’s looks, based on what we can see in the trailer, fit the dark theme of the film and match the rest of the cast while maintaining her own personality. We see her riding a bike through the iconic town we recognize and she wears a striped sweater dress that has been distressed and has a gothic edge to it. When we see her in promo picks along with the rest of the cast who seem to be dressed for what looks to be a funeral, she wears a deep purple coat rather than a black one. In another scene she dresses even lighter, wearing a blue denim jacket with a floral dress. I can’t wait to see the transformation her wardrobe takes throughout the film.

Susie is a character from the Netflix series The Gentlemen, and is played by Kaya Scodelario. The series follows a man named Eddie who inherits his family’s estate, only to discover that it’s home to a drug empire. Susie is the woman behind the drug operation and leads Eddie into her world.

To dress like Susie in her bold, all-red velvet outfit, wear a red velvet blazer, red velvet shirt, a red waist belt, and red pants. Another look is a brown wool coat with a fur collar layered over a denim shirt with a navy sweater vest over that.
