Alice Angel from Bendy and the Ink Machine
Alice Angel (voiced in part by Alanna Linayre playing her original voice actress) is a character from Bendy and the Ink Machine. The first female character created by her animation studio, Alice’s popularity was on par with other well-known characters including Bendy and Boris. There are two ways to go about recreating Alice’s look, which will determine which supplies or accessories you may need. If you choose to simply dress as her, you won’t have to worry about body paint and can choose a pair of sheer thigh-high stockings to pair with your black dress, gloves, and heels. If you’re interested in going for the true black-and-white appearance of her original cartoon, you’ll need white body paint for your face, chest, and upper arms, and a pair of white tights. Lastly, don’t forget your wavy black hair, white horn clips, and halo. Use a makeup stick to add black pigment to your lips and draw on Alice’s beauty mark below her right eye. For an extra bit of authenticity, a fabric marker can be used to add black circles to the palms of your gloves.
Cuphead
Cuphead is the protagonist of a run-and-gun video game that’s heavily inspired by cartoons from the 1930s. Cuphead and his brother Mugman, who look like a hybrid between Mickey Mouse and drinkware, must collect on debts to repay the devil. Use the straw as a hair accessory, or better yet make your own, and a mask while you’re at it.
Betty Boop
Betty Boop made her debut in the 1930’s and is considered to be one of the first sex symbols on the animated screen. She is representative of the Jazz Age flappers and a symbol of the Depression era. She even made a cameo appearance in Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
