A new TV series has been going viral online for its spot-on live action adaptation of the video game franchise Fallout that takes place in a post-apocalyptic world. This series depicts the aftermath of The Great War of 2077, where survivors take refuge in fallout shelters or Vaults, which are actually all created as different experiments on the people who live in them. It follows a woman named Lucy who leaves Vault 33 to find her father in the dangerous wasteland of what is left of Los Angeles.

To dress like Lucy, wear a yellow and blue jumpsuit made after the one in the show, a white tank top underneath, a brown utility belt, harness, and lace-up brown boots.

Andy is a character from the 2006 film The Devil Wears Prada, and is played by Anne Hathaway. The film follows Andy as she moves to New York to pursue a career in the fashion industry and learns what it takes to fit in with her demanding boss, Miranda.

To dress like Andy in an earlier look, wear a blue cable knit sweater over a white button down shirt and pair it with a tan printed midi skirt. Another look that is more fashion-forward is a green peacoat, white gloves, gold flats, black oversized sunglasses, and a fur scarf/collar piece that has an animal print.

Dolores is a member of the McDoodle family in the indie survival game 60 Seconds! She is the mother of Mary Jane and Timmy and the wife of Ted.  The McDoodle family must gather as many supplies as they can in the titular sixty seconds in order to survive a nuclear explosion in their home’s fallout shelter.  Dolores wears a beige collared dress, an apron, and red heels.  She has ginger hair and wears red lipstick and a gold wedding band.

Over the past weekend, Sabrina Carpenter was once again trending online for her bright and fun Coachella performance. Sabrina has gained popularity over the last year in the pop music space, and she has created a signature look and style for herself that she carries to this daytime performance of her most popular songs.

To dress like Sabrina in her Coachella 2024 performance, wear a cream or snakeskin pattern motorcycle jacket, a silver glitter top, khaki pleated mini skirt, and knee-high or mid-calf brown boots.

Nepeta Leijon is a troll from Homestuck, the MS Paint Adventure webcomic and game.  Jade Harley is her favorite human.  Nepeta is naive and enjoys friendly roleplay.  She hunts animals for food and lives in a cave.  Nepeta has grey skin and black hair.  Her outfit includes a black t-shirt with a dark green symbol, a green jacket, and grey pants.  She wears a blue cat-shaped hat, blue shoes, and has a long blue tail.  You can purchase a blue cat costume set to use the tail and add a pair of fangs to better emulate Nepeta’s troll-like appearance.

Totoko (voiced in Japanese by Aya Endo and in English by Cassandra Lee Morris) is one of the main female characters in the 2015 adaptation of the anime Osomatsu-San.

She is a recurring character that originally appeared in Osomatsu-Kun, the previous iteration of this series, and has carried on into the newer version. She is the daughter of fish merchants, and uses that part of her upbringing in her prospective idol career, being a fish themed idol (which never quite goes well for her). Towards the latter part of the series, she’s formed an unsteady friendship with another idol in the scene, Hashimoto Nyaa, despite how much they initially hated each other.

Totoko has mid-toned brown hair, worn slightly up in a bun topped with a pink headband, and with two small low pigtails that are tied with light yellow ribbons. Her eyes are a similar soft brown shade, and are very big and sparkly. Her usual outfit she’s seen in consists of a deep pink turtleneck sweater, a yellowy-green pleated skirt with yellow plaid details, and a pair of strapped closed-toed pumps in the same color pink as her sweater.

Melissa is a character in the school comedy series Abbott Elementary, and is played by Lisa Ann Walter. Melissa is a second grade teacher at the elementary school in the series. She is an established teacher at the school who is very confident and sure of herself.

Melissa has a unique style compared to her coworkers at the school. She has an edgier style, often wearing a leather jacket or faux leather leggings that are paired with a black blouse with a zipper detail. Pair the leather jacket with a ribbed green sweater for a fun pop of color and don’t forget a blue lanyard.

Kirimi (voiced in Japanese by Kurumi Mamiya and in English by Cherami Leigh) is a side character in the anime/manga series Ouran High School Host Club.

She is Umehito Nekozawa’s five year old little sister, and isn’t seen very much over the course of the story, as he is also somewhat of a side character. She’s got a rather intense phobia of cats, and a fondness for shojo mangas, so it takes her a bit to get used to the fact that her brother is the exact opposite, as well him being very into the occult. We do see a small glimpse of them a bit later in the series, where she has embraced the exact same passions as him, and is seen wearing a matching black cloak.

Kirimi has very big, vibrant blue eyes, and long blonde hair worn up in twin pigtails, topped with little pink hair bows. She is most often seen wearing what is presumably her school uniform, with a white sailor top with pink and peach accents, and a matching peach skirt. Her socks are rolled white ruffled short ones, and then dark peach Mary Janes to match the rest of the uniform.
