Lionel Toussaint (played by Leslie Odom, Jr.) is a high-ranking employee of Miles Bron‘s successful company in the film Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.  Lionel has reservations about Miles’ latest green energy initiative, which he shares with Claire Debella.  On the trek to Miles’ private island, Lionel wears brightly colored paints and a muted tunic with wooden beads.  For dinner, he wears a snazzy green suit with a wishbone brooch and black hat.

Peg (played by Jessica Henwick) is Birdie Jay‘s assistant in the murder mystery film Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery. Peg has the unenviable job of not only adhering to Birdie’s whims, but also keeping her off social media so she can’t do further damage to her image.  Peg seems to be the least enthralled by Miles Bron, disliking the way he intends to make Birdie take the fall for their joint business.  She is rather enamored of Andi Brand for this reason, given Andi stands up to Miles.  Peg is dressed down throughout the film, arriving in a pair of sweat shorts and a bucket hat.  She wears the same strapped sandals throughout, including to dinner where she wears a white tee under a green pleated dress.  Despite everyone else receiving a custom glass with their drink of choice, Miles serves Peg in a red Solo cup.

Whiskey (played by Madelyn Cline) is the girlfriend of Duke Cody working to build her brand by any means necessary in Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.  Whiskey quickly strikes up a rapport with Andi Brand once they are on the island, and is caught having an affair with Miles Bron by Detective Benoit Blanc.  Whiskey arrives for the trip wearing white cut-offs and a white tie-front crop top with tasseled boots.  For dinner, she dons a rust-colored dress with side cut-outs.  She always wears a gold necklace with her astrology sign, Taurus.

Cassandra “Andi” Brand (played by Janelle Monae) is the former business partner of billionaire Miles Bron in Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.  Scorned by her former friends, Andi unexpectedly arrives at a private island murder mystery party to stir things up as Detective Benoit Blanc investigates.  Andi’s dinner party attire consists of a crisp white suit, studded gladiator sandals, and gold open hoop earrings.  Andi also wears two one-shoulder dresses.

Duke Cody (played by Dave Bautista) is a streamer and influencer in Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.  Duke shoes up guns literally blazing with his girlfriend Whiskey in tow to join Miles Bron‘s murder mystery weekend on a private Greek island where what is meant to be a game turns deadly, and Detective Benoit Blanc‘s deductive abilities are once again put to the test.  Duke arrives for the weekend wearing pink pants, tan boots, and a jaguar-printed button-down.  His gun is always close at hand, including when Duke takes a dip in the pool and arrives at dinner wearing khakis, slides, and a long-sleeved shirt printed with chains and coral.  Duke is also covered head to toe in tattoos, and a sheer tattoo-print shirt can help you get closer if you plan to wear your shirt open.

Birdie Jay (played by Kate Hudson) is a former model in Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.  Birdie isn’t the brightest of her friend group, which includes politician Claire Debella and scientist Lionel Toussaint, but she’s more than excited to abscond from quarantine life to a private Greek island for a murder mystery weekend at the bequest of Miles Bron.  Her stunning metallic rainbow gown worn at dinner is custom-made for the movie, and the nearest couture inspiration is nearly impossible to track down, so don’t be afraid to stray from the film to find a fittingly colorful floor-length multicolor dress, paired with colorful eye makeup.  Birdie also wears a breezy jumpsuit with an oversized hat on the boat ride to the island, if you’re feeling a little more boho than black tie.

Detective Benoit Blanc (played by Daniel Craig) returns in Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.  Hired by Andi Brand‘s sister to take on a case involving Miles Bron and a group of influential friends including Claire Debella, Duke Cody, Birdie Jay, and Lionel Toussaint, Detective Blanc travels to a private island to attend a murder mystery dinner.  Of course, the mystery that truly unfolds is altogether more deadly than the game is meant to be.  Detective Blanc wears a host of vacation-worthy outfits, leaning toward lighter colors and fabrics.  His looks include a light pink shirt with tan pants, white sneakers, and a blue handkerchief for the boat ride to the island, a tan suit with a blue shirt and pink handkerchief for dinner, and a blue and white striped swimming ensemble that appears to be straight out of an old-timey film.

Walt Thrombey (played by Michael Shannon) is the youngest of Harlan Thrombey’s children, and is the head of his prolific father’s publishing company, responsible for distributing the mystery writer’s books. Walt and his father argue constantly over selling the rights to Harlan’s work for use on other platforms. Walt’s clothing is relatively plain, relying on a drab color palette. Throughout the film, he uses a cane because his left foot is in a walking boot.
