C.W. Longbottom from Mythic Quest
C.W. Longbottom (played by F. Murray Abraham) is a Nebula Award-winning writer thrust into the world of game development in the Apple TV+ series Mythic Quest. C.W. is a master of his craft and sets out to imbue each game release with a a richly detailed backstory, sometimes to the detriment of the production process, much to the chagrin of both Poppy Li and Ian Grimm. C.W.’s wardrobe harkens back to the bygone era in which he still feels rooted, favoring turtlenecks, blazers, and scarves over his co-w0rkers’ much more casual attire.
Emily Dickinson from Dickinson
Emily Dickinson’s life is the stuff of literary class lessons and book foreword fodder. But in the hands of Alena Smith and Hailee Steinfeld, Dickinson’s life takes on new glamour, pain, and style. The new approach brings Dickinson to life in a way few class syllabi could hope to. And it does it with a style all its own.
Given the show’s unique style, there are a range of looks to choose from. To get the look featured here, however, you’ll need to start with a red ballgown. After that, match red lipstick and flats to the gown, then style a brunette wig into the loose strands and updo Dickinson wears. Round out the look with a stunning leather journal for writing down all of your own brilliant ideas!
J.R.R. Tolkien
People all over the world have fallen in love with Frodo and Bilbo Baggins, the elves of Lothlorien and Rivendell, and the fierce Dwarves of Middle Earth. And if it weren’t for J.R.R. Tolkien, none of those beings would exist at all.
Born January 03, 1892 Tolkien lived through the most tumultuous times of the 20th century. It was not an easy period and Tolkien used every bit of it to inspire his books. They, in turn, have gone on to inspire millions.
This year on his birthday – or for Tolkien Reading Day on March 25th – you can honor Tolkien by dressing up as him or one of his many characters and enjoying a Lord of the Rings-themed party!
If you choose to dress as Tolkien your costume will be pretty straight-forward. You’ll need a three-piece tweed suit and white shirt, a ties, and some Oxford shoes. Slick your hair back with a little pomade and grab some round glasses, then find your favorite writing pen and a nice book of blank paper.
