Princess Celestia from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

Princess Celestia (voiced by Nicole Oliver) is the princess who rules over all of Equestria. Although the land has many princesses, Celestia rules over them all. She is calm and self-assured but intelligent enough to admit when she is uncertain or afraid. She is a fair and balanced leader who tends to walk on the lighter, more open side of things. Her cutie mark is the sun, as she raises it every morning and sets it to rest at night. And, as an Alicorn, she has both wings and a horn as well as the same ever-flowing mane as her sister, Princess Luna.

America from Hetalia

“I’m the hero!” Alfred F. Jones, also known as America or U.S, is a main character in Hetalia: Axis Powers. He is the personification of America: patriotic, heroic, and a natural born leader. Yet his confidence can come off as cockiness, and seems to poke his nose into everyone’s business. England had once seen him like a younger brother, but their separation has caused a rift in their relationship. America is often seen with a hamburger and soda pop, flashing a thumbs up. The “50” on the back of his bomber jacket represents the 50 states.

Italy Hetalia

Italy from Hetalia

Italia Veneziano, also known as North Italy, is a main character in Hetalia: Axis Powers. Everyone thought he was a girl because of his high voice, but they realized otherwise when his voice dropped mid-song. He is cheerful and energetic, yet quite ditzy and sensitive. This annoys Germany because he prefers to wander off rather than listen to his commands. North Italy loves food, namely pasta. He carries a white flag because he often surrenders to other countries. Pair this costume with black shoes and you’re set!

Tuco Salamanca from Breaking Bad

Tuco Salamanca from Breaking Bad

Tuco Salamanca (played by Raymond Cruz) is the quite possibly the most dangerous of all the drug dealers on Breaking Bad. Unless a person owns his absolute trust and loyalty – usually a feat reserved for older members of his family – Tuco has no objections to killing people. Even his near and dear are not safe if they disrespect him or someone he cares about.

For all the danger he presents, Tuco is a very savvy businessman and and ever savvier dresser. He prefers stone washed jeans and dark dress shoes that pair well with patterned shirts and a pair of silver boxing gloves on a chain around his neck. A buzz cut and a fake cigarette complete the cosplay for this volatile criminal!

sara howard from the alienist

Sara Howard from The Alienist

On TNT’s The Alienist, Sara Howard (portrayed by Dakota Fanning) is the first female employed by the New York Police Department.  Sara is ambitious, hoping to use her position as Commissioner Theodore Roosevelt’s assistant as a stepping stone to one day becoming the first female police detective.  She joins Dr. Kreizler and John Moore in their investigation of the murders of young male prostitutes and later becomes a private investigator.  Sara comes from an affluent family and dresses as such in elaborate Victorian style.  Recreating 19th century fashion can be difficult, so it’s important to get creative by mixing and matching historical costume pieces with contemporary items.

Sharona Fleming from Monk

For former San Francisco Police Detective Adrian Monk, the world is a jungle of germs, compulsions, and amazing water. Fortunately for him (and perhaps a bit unfortunately for her), his practical nurse, Bitty Schram’s Sharona Fleming is there to help him navigate it. At least, she was for the first two and a half seasons. Despite her uptight title, Sharona’s sense of style — a mix of punk and sixties retro — evokes a whimsical, “devil may care” vibe, perhaps to compensate for her daily stressors as the single mother of a rambunctious son, and careworn assistant to a man struggling with extreme OCD. Here, we’ve put together an approximation of various outfits Sharona’s worn throughout her time on Monk – she generally favors V-necks, miniskirts, numerous necklaces and chokers, and the color blue.

Dave from Dave

Rapper and comedian Lil’ Dicky (born and credited as Dave Burd) plays a fictionalized version of himself on the new FX show Dave.  On the show, Dave is a semi-neurotic millennial working to achieve his dreams of becoming the next big rapper with the help of his producer Elz, girlfriend Ally, and hype man GaTa.  Dave’s style is eclectic and bold, with plenty of pattern mixing and vintage-looking sweaters and jackets, as well as a pastel colored suit to help him look fresh when meeting with record execs.

Haiji from Run with the Wind

Haiji Kiyose is the captain of the track team he created at Kansei University. With extreme dedication, Haiji sets his eyes on the Hakone Ekiden competition. He is outgoing, friendly, a great leader, and even cooks for his teammates. He does everything, which could cause him more harm than good. Haiji balances his leadership duties in Run With The Wind (Kaze ga Tsuyoku Fuiteiru).

madara uchiha from naruto

Madara Uchiha from Naruto Shippuden

Madara Uchiha was one of the founders of Konohagakure. Madara saved and trained Obito Uchiha, and entrusted the latter with his plans and his name upon his eventual death, leading to Obito using the name Madara throughout much of his life. Madara wears a cowl neck robe and shinobi pants, with red samurai armor over top. Finding red armor can be difficult, so using red paint over light colored armor can help you achieve the same look.

Lena Luthor from Supergirl

Lena Luthor from Supergirl

Did someone say #bosslady? Lena Luthor (Katie McGrath) is the CEO of L-Corp, a company she took over from her brother Lex, the self-proclaimed greatest criminal mind. When their agendas align, Lena is a staunch ally of Supergirl and her friends; independently, she considers Kara Danvers (Supergirl’s alter ego) a dear friend.

Lena’s outfits on The CW’s Supergirl reflect her businesslike attitude, revolving around dressy blouses, pencil skirts, and blazers. This tutorial shows you how to recreate two of her more formal outfits: one consisting of a blazer set, buttoned-down blouse, and vest; and one that incorporates a more adventurous sheer lace top that reminds me of one of Katie McGrath’s more medieval roles.
