Ladybug (played by Brad Pitt) is the protagonist of the action comedy Bullet Train.  An assassin deep in therapy, Ladybug is sent to fetch a silver case belonging to The White Death from the titular train, only for things to go wildly off the rails.  Ladybug must fight a number of others including Lemon, Tangerine, and The Hornet, in pursuit of his quarry.  Ladybug has shaggy blonde hair and boards the train with a beige bucket hat and dark-framed glasses.  His outfit also includes charcoal pants, a green jacket, white tee, and white sneakers.  The Breitling timepiece Ladybug wears in the movie can set you back a pretty penny, so opt for a more budget-friendly pilot watch instead to complete the look.

The White Death (played by Michael Shannon) is the boogeyman bad guy who orchestrates the events of Bullet Train.  The White Death is a larger-than-life force alluded to throughout the film, responsible for wiping out an entire crime syndicate but now known to live in seclusion following the death of his wife.  He brings together the people he deems responsible for this loss in order to exact revenge, but is surprised when his daughter is on the train as well.  The White Death is an imposing figure with long hair and a plethora of tattoos.  His two main looks are a black suit with a red demon mask in flashbacks and a long yukata-like robe over a white dress shirt and slacks when he arrives on the train.  Whichever you choose to recreate, you’ll start with a grey wig, dark slacks, and a white dress shirt.  Then, add the pieces you need to achieve either look in full.

Throughout the series, she befriends and supports Wednesday, helping her investigate the murders. Following the instructions on the bottle, use the indigo Rit dye on the blazer. Then affix the embroidered patch.

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.

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.
