The 13th Doctor
The titular character on the BBC hit TV series Doctor Who is the last of the Time Lords, a race capable of time travel and regeneration. The Doctor has regenerated its body 13 times, and for the first time it its history it regenerates as a woman (Jodie Whittaker) for its 13th life. She travels the space-time continuum with her companions Graham, Yasmin and Ryan. This guide covers the 13th Doctor’s first iconic – and eccentric – look of suspenders, cropped pants, rainbow shirt and coat.
Cady Longmire
The daughter of titular character Walt Longmire on the TV series Longmire, Cady Longmire (Cassidy Freeman) is a lawyer searching for her place in the world. She is a kind, intelligent, strong woman who worries about her father, helps those around her and has a strong sense of justice. Eventually she decides to quit her job and work for a much lower salary helping those on the Cheyenne Indian Reservation. She favors layers with blue jeans, simple jewelry and a Western-style belt.
Kitty Riley
An investigative journalist looking for her first big break on the BBC drama Sherlock, Kitty Riley (Katherine Parkinson) tries to interview Sherlock Holmes in a bathroom with fantastically terrible results. Her adorable red pigtails, mock Sherlock hat and perky personality did little to melt the frigid detective. Undeterred, she reaches out to his nemesis James Moriarty, who uses her in a spectacular set-up for Sherlock that almost ruins him. To play the part of an adoring fan in hopes to win over Sherlock, Kitty dresses in his signature hat with an eclectic suit.
Patti Mayonnaise
Patricia “Patti” Mayonnaise is the secret love of Doug Funnie and a recurring character in the Disney/Nickelodeon cartoon Doug. This guide will focus on her Nickelodeon design.
Mary Morstan
A sweet, bright, witty woman, Mary Morstan (Amanda Abbington) falls hard for John Watson on the BBC show Sherlock, eventually marrying and having a child with him. She also has an unusually easy relationship with Sherlock Holmes, enjoying his notoriously scathing behavior. In later seasons she is revealed to have a dark, dangerous past that comes to threaten her relationships with John and Sherlock. As a modern British woman, she dresses in loose-fitting, trendy clothing in bright colors.
Heero Yuy from Mobile Suit Gundam Wing
The man we know as Heero Yuy is the main protagonist in Mobile Suit Gundam Wing, despite not being the leader of the G Team. Having been disciplined since childhood, and with a little genetic manipulation, Heero is the most skilled of the five Gundam pilots. In combat he has no compassion for his enemies and is often described as the perfect soldier, although he normally has no trouble displaying emotion outside of a battle.
James Moriarty
The infamous nemesis of Sherlock Holmes on the hit BBC show Sherlock, James Moriarty (Andrew Scott) matches Sherlock Holmes in wits, intelligence and cunning. Unlike Sherlock, Moriarty uses his talents for criminal purposes, establishing a wide underworld network. He enjoys setting elaborate traps that can take years to complete, toying with people and generally being cruel and ruthless. He dresses with the same care and attention to detail as he does when planning a heist or manipulating Sherlock.
Mrs. Hudson (BBC)
The kind elderly lady who rents the upstairs apartment to Sherlock Holmes on the BBC drama Sherlock, Mrs. Hudson (Una Stubbs) hides a stiff upper lip behind cups of tea and an aversion to Sherlock’s ‘experiments’. Quick to point out she isn’t Sherlock’s housekeeper, she leaves well enough alone when it comes to the strange goings-on in 221B Baker Street, but is always there with a bowl of soup when they need it. She dresses in elegant, conservative clothing.
Henry Standing Bear
Henry Standing Bear (Lou Diamond Phillips) is a member of the Cheyenne reservation in Wyoming and the best friend of Sheriff Longmire in the TV show Longmire. Standing Bear owns the popular bar The Red Pony and often helps Walt out on his cases. This leads to trouble down the road, especially when Standing Bear winds up in the middle of the sheriff’s office and the Cheyenne Reservation police unit. He dresses simply in a red plaid shirt and jeans. For an extra touch, carry around a glass jar filled with the names of people others want you to kill.
Commander William Riker
The First Officer of the USS Enterprise under Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Commander William Riker (Jonathan Frakes) performs his duties with confidence, courage and a heap of charm. Although he has the experience and skill to captain his own ship, he chooses to stay with the Enterprise as First Officer. The rakish Riker proceeds to tour the galaxy, saving lives and sweeping women off their feet – with the occasional trombone solo. As a Starfleet officer, he wears the Command Red uniform.
