Palutena from Kid Icarus
Palutena (voiced by Ali Hillis in the English version of Kid Icarus) is the goddess worshipped by Pit. Also a playable character in Super Smash Bros., Palutena is the Goddess of Light and the true ruler of Angel Land. She supports Pit on his quest. Palutena has long green hair and is depicted in her most recent form wearing a flowing, strapless white dress. In order to achieve a similar look, you can wear a white dress as your base (you may even want to take a pair of scissors to add the leg slit on the left side) and wrap a red and cream patterned shawl around your hip, fastened with a red brooch. You’ll also want to pay careful attention to your gold accessories, including a crown worn over your green wig, plenty of gold cuffs on your arms, and a brown double-wrapped belt. Lastly, a white sock on your left leg and a pair of tall gladiator sandals can complete your look.
Madison Paige from Heavy Rain
Madison Paige (voiced by Judi Beecher) is one of the four playable characters in the video game Heavy Rain. A journalist, Madison meets Ethan Mars while he is searching for his son, the latest victim of the Origami Killer. Along with the other characters, her fate is determined by the player’s choices throughout the course of the game. Madison wears several outfits in Heavy Rain, but her most memorable is probably the tight black skirt, red blouse, and black heels she wears to the Blue Lagoon. Otherwise, she also dons dark jeans and a few different jackets. So if short skirts aren’t you’re thing, pair a moto-style jacket with bootcut jeans and a short black wig and you’re ready to go.
Meredith Baxter-Dimly from Bratz (2007)
Meredith Baxter-Dimly (Chelsea Kane) is the antagonist of the 2007 live-action Bratz movie. She is the daughter of Principal Dimly and student body president of Carry Nation High School. As the archetype of queen bee, Meredith is narcissistic and mean, especially towards the Bratz.
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.
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.
