Parasoul Renoir (voiced by Rie Tanaka and Erin Fitzgerald) is one of the original playable characters in the fighting game Skullgirls.  The princess of the Renoir family, Parasoul is also Umbrella‘s older sister.  Parasoul has red hair with bangs that she sweeps over her right eye.  She wears a black outfit with a high neck, long sleeves, and a mini skirt.  She pairs her clothes with black flats and a silver necklace with the cross of St. Peter, the same worn by her mother.  For her weaponry, Parasoul favors a Luger pistol and the Living Weapon Krieg, which looks like a large, black umbrella.

Sylvia (played by Rose Byrne) is a married mother of three who reconnects with her friend Will following his divorce to kick off the Apple TV series Platonic.  Though she is typically level-headed and responsible, she and Will often find themselves in somewhat ridiculous situations, which can cause tension in her other relationships.  Sylvia wears a number of different outfits throughout the show, including a mustard-colored sweater that makes more than one appearance, and a practical brown leather purse.  After a trip to a Johnny 66, she wears a trucker hat, black crop top, and black high-waisted shorts.  When she meets the owner of the franchise later, she wears a blue and white dotted dress with her mustard sweater layered over top.  She tends to favor gold earrings to accessorize her outfits.

Maria (voiced by Amy O’Grady) is a character from the Silent Hill franchise who appears in Dead by Daylight as well.  In her original game, Maria looks nearly identical to James Sunderland‘s late wife. Maria has short blonde hair with pink tips and wears a pink animal print mini skirt, cropped sweater, and brown boots.  She also has a pink butterfly tattoo on her abdomen and accessorizes with a pink choker necklace, blue belt, and waist chain with gold medallions.  You can add pink highlights to a blonde wig with a chalk hair comb and use a temporary tattoo to emulate her look.  While you might not be able to find an exact match for her skirt or choker necklace, similar options exist, so choose whichever you like best.

Ember Lumen (voiced by Leah Lewis) is the protagonist of the Disney and Pixar film Elemental.  Ember is made of fire and struggles to maintain her temper.  She loves her parents and helps them run their shop even though it isn’t her dream.  After she meets Wade Ripple, Ember eventually learns to reel in her temper and go after what she really wants.  To recreate Ember’s fiery look, you’ll need to be a little creative.  Layering sheer red pieces beneath your dress and jacket will help you appear more flame-like.  Use a bodysuit, pants, and heels, as well as opera gloves. Ruched or fluttery pieces will evoke more of the rippling flame appearance Ember has in the movie.  You can tuck the pants into your heels to help them taper at the bottom.  Ember’s dress is sleeveless and high-collared with a diamond-like pattern.  You can choose a longer-sleeved version or layer a beaded dress over a plain black one.  Finish the look with a flame wig, a colorful bomber jacket, and a gold belt.

Doralee Rhodes is a character from the 1980 comedy film 9 to 5, and is played by Dolly Parton. The film follows three women who are secretaries at the same office who decide to get revenge on their rude and sexist boss and begin to run the business themselves, in their own way.

Doralee has a style that really really reflects Dolly’s personal style, with western and southern influence like her western-style blue dress and lace detailed sweaters and dresses. Complete the look with her iconic hairstyle or wig.

Sandra is a character from the 2003 Tim Burton film Big Fish, and is played by Alison Lohman. The film Big Fish is based off of the original book by Daniel Wallace. It follows Edward Bloom who has grown old and fallen ill. His son travels to visit him and hears magical stories about his life, and finds the truth behind them. In this, he also tells the story of how he met Sandra, his love interest in the story and how he won her over.

Sandra wears lots of airy and southern style dresses and skirts, that are in bright and pastel colors. The iconic ruched light blue dress is probably the most recognizable of her costumes in the film that stands out beautifully against the field of yellow daffodils that Edward created for her. All of the lace detailing over layers of tulle adds to the southern look, as this takes place in Alabama. Add a bouquet of yellow daffodils to tie together the costume.

Helen Park (voiced by Lily Cowles) is a character in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War.  She is an MI6 agent eventually recruited to join Russel Adler‘s team.  To recreate her costume, you’ll need a short black wig, brown shoes, and straight leg jeans to start.  Then, layer a bomber jacket over a chunky knit sweater and black turtleneck.  Helen also wears an army green utility belt, which you can customize with as many compartments as you need.

Little Edie is best known from the 1975 documentary Grey Gardens. The documentary captures the odd everyday life of Little Edie and her mother Edith, former wealthy socialites who live in their decaying Long Island estate together, where they never leave the house. We see their hilarious and very eccentric personalities as they reminisce on their younger years with the occasional singing and dancing.

Little Edie throughout the documentary changes into many different outfits and is essentially playing dress up for the camera. She shows off and tells the crew how she puts her outfits together like her signature scarf she wears around her head with a large gold pin, which she sometimes creates with different pieces of clothing, like a sweater. She used to be a dancer and has a dance leotard in the iconic dancing scene with the American flag.
