Triss Merigold from Netflix’s The Witcher
Triss Merigold (played by Anna Shaffer) is a Temerian sorceress who asks Geralt for help curing a striga who is also the rightful heir to the throne of Temeria. Triss wears jewel-toned solid color dresses, and has a warm fur coat. Her chandelier earrings are gold with white beads.
Strawberry Shortcake from Berry Bitty Adventures
Strawberry Shortcake has been a childhood staple since her introduction in the 1980s. Her Berry Bitty line was part of the 2009 relaunch and led not only to new toys and movies but to a whole new look for Strawberry Shortcake and her friends. In this version, Strawberry Shortcake has traded her bonnet for a cap and her dress for a skirt, top, and striped tights.
Most of the costume is easy to put together, but the line was short-lived and finding the hate premade is next to impossible. Thankfully, it is fairly easy to recreate. All you need is a pink newsboy cap, some green paint for the bill, and pink felt dots to cut into ovals for the strawberry seeds. A white ribbon just above the bill of the hat completes the look. As long as you have a glue gun and some extra time you can make your own cap to finish off this look!
Kasie Hines from NCIS
When Pauley Perrette’s Abby Sciuto departed from the cast of NCIS, Kasie Hines (played by Diona Reasonover) took over as the new forensic scientist. Kasie’s outfits tend to have bright, eye-catching, but coordinating colors, combining preppiness with a touch of whimsy. She may have some big boots to fill (although she seems to be going for comfy Vans sneakers, personally), but she lends her own spin on a quirky demeanor and fashion sense that is all too familiar yet refreshingly different at once.
Professor Hershel Layton from the Professor Layton Series
Professor Hershel Layton’s past is shrouded in plenty of mystery, but what we know for sure about him is that he personifies true gentlemanliness – a trait he tries to reinforce in his young apprentice and assistant, Luke Triton. Whether he’s solving puzzles (“A true gentleman leaves no puzzle unsolved!”) or exploring unusual locales across Europe, Professor Layton can rarely be found without his signature top hat and suit. You, too, can now dress like a true gentleman!
Lady Trieu from HBO’s Watchmen
Lady Trieu (played by Hong Chau) is the smartest woman in the world when she is introduced in HBO’s Watchmen series. However, much like her father, she can also be narcissistic and cruel. Lady Trieu’s signature look consists of cream and white colored fabrics with long sleeves, high necklines, and gloves.

Blue Zircon from Steven Universe
Blue Zircon is a minor character in the popular Cartoon Network show, Steven Universe. The function of a Zircon is to act as legal counsel. In the presence of the Diamonds, Zircons abandon logical thinking and grow anxious, but they still try to provide sound advice for their clients. Blue Zircon in particular serves as Steven’s defense attorney during his trial on Homeworld. You can use a teasing comb and hair gel to style the wig to resemble the character. Remove the gold gem on the jabot and hot glue a blue rhinestone in its place.
Haruko Haruhara from FLCL
Haruko Haruhara is an unpredictable investigator for the Galactic Space Brotherhood. She finds herself on Earth on her quest to find the “Pirate King” Atomsk.
