Rosita (voiced by Reese Witherspoon) is part of the ensemble cast of Sing, an animated film that takes place in a world inhabited by anthropomorphic animals.  A weary mother of many children, Rosita decides to try out for a singing competition organized by koala Buster Moon.  She is chosen for the event, but Buster thinks her act needs a little more pizzazz, so he teams her up with enthusiastic performer Gunter.  Though hesitant at first, Rosita learns to enjoy the spotlight and shines during her performance of Taylor Swift‘s Shake It Off.  To recreate Rosita’s stage look, you’ll need to love all things black and glittery.  Start with a long-sleeved bodysuit and black pumps, then layer a fluffy skirt over top.  You’ll also need a balaclava and you can choose to add a pig nose and glittery cat ears to imitate her animal appearance in the film.  Use a pair of scissors to cut the balaclava and skirt to more closely match her costume from the movie.
