Mayor Regina Mills from Once Upon a Time
Regina Mills (played by Lana Parilla) is the Mayor of Storybrooke in the TV series Once Upon a Time. Regina, who is later revealed to be the Evil Queen, has trapped fairy tale characters in this real-life town with no memory of who they truly are. She is also the adoptive mother of Emma Swan‘s son Henry, and the half-sister of Zelena. As Mayor, Regina dresses in professional-looking dresses and suits, often layered under smart-looking coats, likely due to the fact that Storybrooke is located in Maine. To recreate Regina’s look, focus on flattering silhouettes and well-coifed hair, and don’t be afraid to pair it with a dark lip color.
Rebecca from Cyberpunk: Edgerunners
Rebecca (voiced by Alex Cazares in English) is a character from Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. Rebecca is a petite and sharp-tongued mercenary with a soft spot for David. Rebecca has white skin adorned with pink tattoos. Her clothing is minimal, including a black bra and underwear as well as an oversized jacket with matching boots and headband. Plenty of cosplay sets exist for Rebecca, though you can also go the more interpretive route by wearing a black bikini with high tops and a bomber jacket. Either way, you’ll want a mint-colored wig as well as pink body paint and a steady hand to recreate Rebecca’s body art and complete your look.
Nema from Slumberland
In Slumberland, Nema (Marlow Barkley) is the young daughter of Nemo. She has dreams of Slumberland and works with an outlaw named Flip to see her late father once more.
Blockbuster
Blockbuster is a workplace comedy that follows the workers of the last remaining Blockbuster Videos store location, including Timmy Yoon (Randall Park), Eliza Walker (Melissa Fumero), Carlos Herrera (Tyler Alvarez), Hannah Hadman (Madeleine Arthur), and Connie Serrano (Olga Merediz). Fittingly, Blockbuster streams on Netflix.
Atsushi Nakajima from Bungo Stray Dogs
Atsushi (voiced in Japanese by Yūto Uemura and in English by Max Mittelman) is the main character of the anime/manga series Bungo Stray Dogs.
Coming from a difficult and painful past in an orphanage, Atsushi is now a member of the Armed Detective Agency, able to use the power that he used to fear, when he was unaware of it. He is able to fully form-shift into a white tiger, which comes with superhuman healing, as well as the ability to semi-morph parts of his body, such as his limbs into clawed tiger paws while attacking.
He is one half of the Shin Soukoku (New Double Black) duo, assigned as such by Dazai, and works (reluctantly on both parts) in tandem with Akutagawa.
When he arrived from the orphanage, Atsushi was practically in rags, so the agency cobbled together an outfit for him. It consists of a white button up shirt, black mid-length pants, loose boots, and black suspenders, a tie, a belt with an extra long end to mimic a tail, and fingerless gloves. He has choppy greyish blonde hair with an occasionally visible black streak along the longer side, and purple-gold eyes.
Maddie Fitzpatrick
Maddie Fitzpatrick is a character in the Disney Channel series, The Suite Life of Zack and Cody. She works at the candy counter at the Tipton Hotel. While sarcastic at times, Maddie acts mostly nice and cares about others. As London’s friend, she often has to be the voice of reason. She is portrayed by Ashley Tisdale, who went on to portray Sharpay in the High School Musical movies.
Cecilia the Murder Machine
Cecilia the Murder Machine (voiced by Emirichu) is a doll with sharp metallic claws for hands who has a penchant for killing characters for children’s shows like Peppa the Pig. Also known as the Doll from Hell or the Nightmare with Claws, Cecilia is the main mascot of MOONSHINE ANIMATIONS, a stop-motion animation YouTube channel run by Kim Mun Ki.
Zoe Baker from Resident Evil 7: Biohazard
Zoe Baker (voiced by Giselle Gilbert) is a character in Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. Zoe’s parents and brother are victims of Eveline’s mind control, which Zoe manages to evade by reading a letter from Mia Winters. She helps Mia’s husband Ethan escape her family’s clutches, which eventually results in punishment in the form of crystallization by Eveline. To recreate Zoe’s look, you can either choose to dress as she does herself, or emulate her crystallized form. The first is fairly simple, requiring loose-fitting jeans, a tank top, and loafers. If you’re up for the challenge of being crystallized, a rhinestone-studded bodysuit with a white wig and makeup to match can help replicate the creepy and ethereal appearance from the game.
Juli Kidman from The Evil Within/Psycho Break
Juli Kidman (voiced in Japanese by Yūko Kaida and in English by Jennifer Carpenter, in the first game) is part of the main group of characters in the horror game The Evil Within/Psycho Break.
While on paper assigned to the same unit in the KCPD as Sebastian and Joseph, Kidman’s allegiances aren’t so clear, as we spend part of the game and the DLC getting into her backstory, who she’s really working for, and what Leslie has to do with her part of the plot.
Kidman wears a standard white button-up shirt with dark-wash jeans, and has a shoulder holster, as well as a thigh one, slightly different from the other two. She has thicker soled stiletto heeled boots, which at first glance seem a bit impractical as an on-mission detective, but when we finally get a chance to play as her, she uses them to kick in monster’s heads. Effective footwear.
Gabby from Gabby’s Dollhouse
In Gabby’s Dollhouse, Gabby (Laila Lockhart Kraner) is a 12-year old girl with a stuffed animal pal, Pandy Paws, and a magical cat headband that let’s her shrink down to toy size. She unboxes new surprises, does cooking and crafts, and goes on animated adventures where she meets friends like Cakey Cat and MerCat.
