June Osborne (Elisabeth Moss) is the protagonist of The Handmaid’s Tale, a 2017 live action series on Hulu. The show was an adaptation of the novel written by Margaret Atwood. In the futuristic dystopia of Gilead, June is forced to serve as a Handmaid because she is still capable of bearing children.

Lettuce (voiced in Japanese by Kumi Sakuma and in English by Erica Shroeder) is one of the main characters of the anime/manga Tokyo Mew Mew (2002 anime).

She is the third person to join the Mew Mews and has the DNA of a finless porpoise. Before meeting the others, she was often only in the company of girls from her school that would bully her and make her run errands. After meeting Ichigo and the others, she comes more out of her shell.

Lettuce has green eyes and long bright green hair worn tied back in a long ponytail, and two white ribbon-like pieces sticking out of her bangs. The rest of her outfit is also green themed, with a swimsuit looking outfit with tails emulating tailfins, puffy green sleeve cuffs, a matching green and white choker and garter set, and green boots.

Meryl Stryfe (voiced most recently by Sakura Andou and Sarah Roach) is a supporting character in the anime and manga series Trigun.  In the 2023 reboot Trigun Stampede, Meryl is a rookie reporter investigating Vash the Stampede alongside her seasoned partner Roberto De Niro.  In addition to an update to her vocation, Meryl’s wardrobe underwent an overhaul for the new series.  In Trigun Stampede, she wears a white blouse with blue frog button detailing, black tights, and blue shorts with a rolled hem.  Her accessories include gold earrings, a blue beret, black fingerless gloves, a black belt with gold buckle, a cream-colored jacket, and white high-top sneakers.  If you really want to get as close to her look from the show as possible, take a little light blue fabric paint to the buttons on a white blouse to make them pop.

Goldilocks (voiced by Florence Pugh) is all grown up in the Dreamworks animated feature Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.  The leader of a criminal gang which includes the Three Bears from her well-known fairy tale, Goldilocks allies herself with Big Jack Horner in a bid to secure the Last Wish so she can be reunited with her biological family.  Goldilocks wears her hair into two enormous curly buns with two locks trailing down her back.  Her costume includes a puff sleeve blouse under a blue corset top, a multicolored skirt, and brown boots.  To recreate her look, you can layer multiple skirts together, and even use a pair of scissors to give them a more shredded look.  Use a blonde wig with pigtail clip-ins styled as two buns and secured with teal hair ties (in the film, her hair is held in place with beaded ties, but any texture will do).  Finally, wind a leather strap around your right wrist, and accessorize with pearls, a multicolored necklace, and mismatched earrings.  Her staff, which has a v-shaped top, also has pearl strands wound around it.

If you want to dress as Yoru, wear the hair down and draw scars across your face.
