Initially, Wednesday didn’t plan to attend the Rave’N, Nevermore’s version of the school dance. However, when Xavier caught her snooping around his art studio, she had to make an excuse. Both Enid and Thing agree that she needs a new outfit! This vintage dress is perfect for a choreographed dance to The Cramps. While this dress is one of a kind, you can embrace the style with ruffles and tulle — all black, of course.

Birdie Jay (played by Kate Hudson) is a former model in Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.  Birdie isn’t the brightest of her friend group, which includes politician Claire Debella and scientist Lionel Toussaint, but she’s more than excited to abscond from quarantine life to a private Greek island for a murder mystery weekend at the bequest of Miles Bron.  Her stunning metallic rainbow gown worn at dinner is custom-made for the movie, and the nearest couture inspiration is nearly impossible to track down, so don’t be afraid to stray from the film to find a fittingly colorful floor-length multicolor dress, paired with colorful eye makeup.  Birdie also wears a breezy jumpsuit with an oversized hat on the boat ride to the island, if you’re feeling a little more boho than black tie.

Bibi is a supporting character in Poko, a children’s stop-motion television series. She is a young girl who appears in the second season. She is Poko’s friend and occasionally visits him for play dates. Like Poko, Bibi has a magic ability. Her magic sticker book can turn the sticker of an object into that real object.

Rem is a character that’s found in the anime/manga Death Note, and for this version the focus will be on the live action stage adaptation of the series, where she’s portrayed as a lot more human-like in appearance than her regular shinigami (death god) form. For this specific design I’ve gone with what I believe is Megumi Hamada’s portrayal of her, as there are variations of the character between each version of the musical.

Rem is the shinigami that Misa Amane has ties to, by way of her Death Note, and throughout the series came to care very deeply for her, despite the fact that Misa was human. This comes out even more strongly through the musical soundtrack, with much more love showing through how she sings about and with her.

In this particular version, Rem has pale, pearlescent skin with grey and blue highlighting tones, blue makeup, and long silver-white hair with blue strands trailed throughout it. The outfit she wears is a long, torn and draped robe/dress-like piece with a cloak over top, simple white pants underneath, and white shoes. One standout piece of this design that ties in nicely to the original shinigami form that she has is the extra-long fingernails, mimicking her long pointed fingers.

Elizabeth “Polly” Gray (Helen McCrory) is a character in Peaky Blinders. She was the mother of Michael and Anna Gray and the aunt of Arthur, Thomas, John, Ada, and Finn Shelby. She is the matriarch of the Shelby Family and a part of The Peaky Blinders, a criminal gang and accountant of her surname’s company. While her brothers were absent during WWI, Polly managed the gang and gave business advice to her nephews. She was killed by the IRA as a result of her participation.

Misumi Nagisa (voiced by Lara Cody in the American dub) is a high school student and lacrosse player in the anime series Futari wa Pretty Cure.  Nagisa gains the power to turn into the Black Cure, a warrior who fights alongside Yukishiro Honoka‘s alter ego the White Cure.  The Verone Academy’s uniform is very straightforward; pair the outfit with a messy ginger wig to transform into Nagisa.  If you want to emulate her Black Cure look, you might have to decide how much effort you’re willing to put in to get closer to her appearance on the show.  To start, you can deconstruct a purple mess shirt by cutting the arms and midriff off so you can layer it under a black short-sleeved crop top.  Then, don a pink belt over a black ruffled tulip skort and pull on black arm and leg warmers.  You can hot glue a white bow to the front of your shirt and use iron-on heart patches to add details to the costume.  Lastly, if you’re up for a little extra DIY, you can cut and glue ruffled organza lace to add the finishing touch to her look.

Lucia (Simona Tabasco) is a character in HBO’s The White Lotus. She first appears in season two. Lucia is a sex worker who convinces her friend, Mia, to join the industry as well. Together the two girls hustle the rich attendants of The White Lotus resort.
