Elle Fanning plays Catherine the Great in the Hulu miniseries, The Great. The plot follows the longest ruling Russian empress from her youth to her rise to power with satire and comedy galore. While drawing from Russian history, this drama is fictionalized by adding Catherine’s plan to murder her idiotic husband, Emperor Peter II.

On the show Dave, Ally (played by Taylor Misiak) plays the titular character’s girlfriend.  An elementary school teacher, Ally is supportive of Dave‘s career aspirations while also working to help him address the insecurities he faces about his body, so they can enjoy a healthy relationship and sex life.  Ally is roommates with Emma, who eventually helps Dave by providing him with digital artwork to use for his live shows.  While the exact cropped sweater and ringer t-shirt Ally wears are both out of stock online, similar items can be used to evoke the same feel, and a fabric marker can even add the “lover” detail to her t-shirt if you are feeling crafty!

Reginald Hargreeves is a character in the Darkhorse comic series, The Umbrella Academy. In the Netflix adaptation of the same name, he is portrayed by Colm Feore. Known as “The Monocle,” Reginald is an eccentric billionaire who adopted seven children with superhuman abilities. Dubbed the Umbrella Academy, he trained the seven to become superheroes. Due to his selfish yet mysterious motives, he was a less than stellar father figure. He can be downright abusive, such as locking Klaus in mausoleums and suppressing Vanya‘s powers. In the first episode, breaking news announces his death, and the Hargreeves siblings reunite to investigate. They meet him again in the second season when Five teleports them to the 1960s. Diego believes Reginald is involved with JFK assassination. Spoilers: Reginald is revealed as an alien (which never gets explained) and in the next timeline, starts the Sparrow Academy.

Orla McCool (played by Louisa Harland) is the cousin and friend of Erin Quinn on the Netflix show Derry Girls.  Orla is a bit strange, and often misses obvious social cues.  She is not at all concerned with popularity and even brought her grandfather as her date to the prom.  While sarcastic, Orla loves her friends deeply and is quite loyal to them.  Orla also has quite the sweet tooth and can often be seen eating candy while wearing some quintessentially ’90s outfits, including loud prints and bold colors, which make some of her looks a lot of fun to sport.

In Danganronpa 3, Makoto Naegi looks very different from his original appearance in the series.  Danganronpa 3 takes place in two parts; in Future Chapter, Makoto is suspected of treason against the Future Foundation, and is then caught with other members of the Foundation including foremer classmates Kyoko Kirigiri, Aoi Asahina, and Yasuhiro Hagakure in a final killing game.  Showing off a much more tailored and clean cut appearance in Danganronpa 3 than in previous installments, Makoto wears a slim fitting suit, light colored tie, and dark navy blue sweater vest.

In Euphoria, Cassie Howard played by Sydney Sweeney is a nice popular girl at East Highland who shares a room with her sister Lexi. Cassie has a lot of trouble dating due to rumors of her sexual history. She hasn’t done anything wrong but constantly finds herself getting hurt. You can find Cassie in cute light colored crop tops and light wash denim. She wears mostly light make up unless going out and often puts her hair in braids.

In the Netflix series Ratched, Sarah Paulson plays the impeccably dressed and increasingly evil Mildred Ratched.  Nurse Ratched was first introduced to the world as the primary antagonist of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.  The Netflix series serves as a prequel to the film, charting Nurse Ratched’s origins and how she became the tyrannical battleax she is known as in pop culture.  To create Ratched’s nurse outfit, your best bet will be to find white items and dye them the appropriate shade of teal.  While this may seem intimidating, using Rit fabric dye is actually a very simple and straightforward process, and by following the directions on the bottle, you will be able to better mimic the beautiful color of Ratched’s uniform, which is difficult to find ready-made.

Haida (voiced by Shingo Kato in the original Japanese and Ben Diskin in the English dub) is a laid-back hyena with a crush on the shows title character, Retsuko. While he spends most of his time at work, he’s known to haunt record shops and punk shows in his off-hours. When he’s not kicking coffee cans and landing face-up in a puddle he’s a great calm counterpoint to the high-energy chaos that is Retsuko.

To get Haida’s off-hours look you’ll want to start with a messy brunette wig. Makeup pencils can recreate his spots as freckles too. After that all you need is a leather bike jacket, a red and black striped shirt, black jeans, and black boots.
