Zed Necrodopolis (played by Milo Manheim) is a zombie and captain of the Seabrook High football team in the Disney movie series Z-O-M-B-I-E-S.  Zed is loyal and upbeat, and believes in standing up for what is right.  He is also the boyfriend of Addison Wells.  Zed has pale skin and green hair, and often dresses in punk-inspired clothing when he’s not wearing the bright pink football uniform of his team.  Because finding an exact replica of the Seabrook High jersey can be tough, you can opt to recreate his football uniform with green fabric paint on a bright pink t-shirt.  If you’d rather dress in Zed’s non-uniform clothes, focus on distressed pieces and darker colors.  You can even layer burgundy leggings under ripped jeans or rip one sleeve of a brown pullover so it’s shorter than the other.

Lady Alcina Dimitrescu has already taken the internet by storm. A beautiful vampire standing over nine feet tall with a killer smile, it’s easy to see why she caused a splash when she appeared in January’s Maiden. Her history is still largely unknown and will have to stay that way until Resident Evil: Village comes out this May. That hasn’t stopped fans from putting together cosplays in the Lady’s honor, our own among them!

While it is possible to use stilts to mimic the Lady’s height, it’s not recommended. Instead this cosplay focuses on Lady Dimitrescu’s style. A wide brimmed black hat, black leather gloves, black boots, and black flower pin all stand in sharp contrast to her flowing white empire waist gown. Her skin is also ghostly white which can be recreated using body paint. If you’d prefer to skip the body paint you can use a face painting kit to recreate the sharp lines and slightly undead look that gives away Lady Dimitrescu’s vampiric nature.

Finish the look with a dark brown wig. Lady Dimitrescu wears her hair pinned up in tight curls from the 1950s which you will have to recreate yourself. There are several tutorials on YouTube both on curling synthetic wigs and on recreating Dimitrescu’s look.

Be sure and put on your favorite red lipstick and you’re ready to rule a castle of your own.
