Carmelita Spats from A Series of Unfortunate Events
Carmelita Spats (played by Kitana Turnbull) is a spoiled bully at the Austere Academy in Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events. Carmelita bullies the Baudelaires, including Klaus, for being orphans. Carmelita has red hair worn in ringlets with pink bows. Her wardrobe tends toward pink dresses with white tights and short heels. To recreate her look, you’ll want to find a pink dress to build your costume around. Any pink dress can work, though something that is frilly and high-collared will be best, since it will also give you a place to wear her signature brooch, which she eventually gives to Count Olaf.
Kitty from Battle Kitty

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.

The Corinthian from The Sandman
The Corinthian (played by Boyd Holbrook) is a character from Neil Gaiman’s graphic novel The Sandman. The Corinthian is a nightmare created by Dream, who makes his way into the waking world where he indulges in murder and influences others to give in to their darker tendencies. In the Netflix adaptation, the Corinthian wears a long light grey trench coat and round-lens sunglasses to hide his “eyes,” which unlike humans are actually rows of teeth. He dresses well otherwise, so lean into your preppier side when recreating his look for a costume. He also favors a dagger as a weapon when not using his supernatural powers.
