Claire Randall Fraser from Outlander Season 2
Claire Randall (played by Caitriona Balfe) is the main protagonist of the Starz series Outlander. Claire travels through time to 1700s Scotland where she meets Jamie Fraser, whom she eventually marries. In Season 2 of the acclaimed series, Claire finds herself in the French Court, where she dons a beautiful red dress and matching earrings and shoes. To truly embody the fashion of the time, the undergarments are nearly as important as the dress itself, so you’ll need to be comfortable in a hoop skirt and crinoline to make sure your gown has enough volume in the silhouette. It will be nearly impossible to find Claire’s intricate period shoes, so look for heels with a low profile and straps to evoke a similar feel.

When Joel escapes the Satellite of Love, the mad scientists knock Mike unconscious and send him up to continue the experiment. Fortunately the original robots keep him company as he’s tormented with cheesy movies. He’s more gullible and cynical than Joel.

Kid Cosmic
What do you do when you’re nine years old and trying to make sense of the world after you lose your parents? You turn to stories. And what do you do when the chance to be like the heroes in your stories literally lands in your small town? You take up the challenge with your friends joining you along the way.
In Kid Cosmic, the Kid has an active imagination and a great sense of justice. He also, as it turns out, knows how to turn everyday clothes into a uniform fit for heroes. A shoulder length blonde wig give you the lanky locks Kid sports while yellow-tinted sunglasses and headphones with an antenna make up most of his accessories. A black cape and white baseball shirt with yellow sleeves pairs with black athletic shorts striped with white and blue sneakers to round out his uniform while a yellow leather holster and, of course, the green power stone are the final keys to the perfect Kid Cosmic cosplay.
Numbuh 86 from Kids Next Door
Fanny Fulbright, also known as Numbuh 86 (voiced by Jennifer Hale) is one of the main characters of Code Name: Kids Next Door. As the Head of Decommissioning and Global Tactical Officer, Numbuh 86 is an important member of Kids Next Door Moonbase. Numbuh 86 wears a colander styled like a samurai hat, a green sweater, and orange skirt with brown boots. If you don’t have the skills make the full samurai helmet, a turned over colander will still get the point across pretty well (and a plastic one will be a lot more comfortable than a metal one).
