Wednesday Addams from Wednesday

Everyone is watching Netflix’s Wednesday, a supernatural coming-of-age comedy featuring the iconic daughter of the Addams family. Portrayed by Jenna Ortega, Wednesday is sixteen with a sharp mind and sarcastic remarks. When she gets expelled from school, Gomez and Morticia send her to Nevermore Academy, where they met and fell in love. Wednesday finds herself investigating a murder spree alongside new friends — and foes. Whether you cosplay her collared dress or school uniform, black is a must. And don’t smile, unless Uncle Fester decides to surprise you with a visit.

Carmelita Spats from A Series of Unfortunate Events

Carmelita Spats (played by Kitana Turnbull) is a spoiled bully at the Austere Academy in Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events.  Carmelita bullies the Baudelaires, including Klaus, for being orphans.  Carmelita has red hair worn in ringlets with pink bows.  Her wardrobe tends toward pink dresses with white tights and short heels.  To recreate her look, you’ll want to find a pink dress to build your costume around.  Any pink dress can work, though something that is frilly and high-collared will be best, since it will also give you a place to wear her signature brooch, which she eventually gives to Count Olaf.

Portia from The White Lotus

Portia from The White Lotus

In season 2 of The White Lotus, Portia is socialite Tanya’s personal assistant, accompanying her on a ritzy vacation to Sicily. This Gen Z’s fashion, or lack thereof, has gotten plenty of notice, with actor Haley Lu Richardson explaining it reflects the character’s own lack of identity. Her colorful outfits feature plenty of knitwear, which makes sense since Haley crochets goods available on her Etsy store, HookedByHaleyLu, on the side.

Emma from The Promised Neverland

el tigre from the adventures of manny rivera

El Tigre from El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera

El Tigre (voiced by Alanna Ubach) is the super alter ego of Manny Rivera on the Nickelodeon animated series El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera.  Manny’s transformation into El Tigre includes some pretty stark changes, including the addition of a tiger tail, ears, and sharpened claws.  To dress as El Tigre, you can layer boots, a belt, and a red bandana over a black bodysuit.  For some extra authenticity, you can also use scar wax to add the scar Manny has over his left eye.

Zack from Carmen Sandiego

Zack (voiced by Michael Hawley) is part of Carmen’s main team in the 2019 Netflix adaptation of Carmen Sandiego.

He’s part of the team with his sister Ivy, and tends to be a bit less attentive when it comes to missions as he’s a bit distracted, but when it really comes to it he tries his best to actually contribute. Zack is very good at bluffing his way out of bad situations, which he tends to end up in very often, usually of his own making.

Like Ivy, he has reddish orange hair and greenish-blue eyes, with prominent freckles on his face. He wears a long sleeve shirt with a red and white jersey-type t-shirt over top, casual blue jeans, black socks, and black high-top converse shoes.

Hacker from Akudama Drive

Hacker, or The Hacker, (voiced in Japanese by Shun Horie and in English by Y. Chang) is part of the main cast of the anime Akudama Drive, and one of the group of criminals or ‘Akudama’ that are key to the story.

None of the characters have much of an explained backstory, or a known name, so he simply just goes by Hacker. He’s true to his name in that aspect, as he takes great joy in interesting technological struggles that he’s able to force past, and gets bored easily when he can’t find something that interests him.

He has very messy blondish brown hair and one visible blue eye, while the other is covered by a glowing eyepatch. The outfit he wears is almost entirely body covering, with a long greyish white turtleneck shirt and a tailcoated blue jacket that he wears nearly open over it. His hair is partially covered by a hat that glows like his eyepatch and is the same color as his coat. Hacker also has a pair of black pants with a blue end piece covering them, and odd looking almost spat-like blue and black boots.

Wrath from Fullmetal Alchemist

Wrath (voiced in Japanese by Nana Mizuki and in English by Luci Christian) is a variation of the character that is exclusive to the 2003 adaptation of Fullmetal Alchemist, and is not found in the manga or in Brotherhood.

He is a being that came to be after Izumi Curtis tried to use alchemy to revive her baby, much in the same way the Elric brothers did, and it went just about as well. As a part of the group of Homunculi, he’s well suited to his name, becoming more and more like the title after consuming the stones.

Wrath has long, shaggy, blackish-brown hair and slitted violet eyes. He wears a similar outfit to Envy’s in style, once fully becoming a homunculus. It’s formed of a black crop turtleneck with a short, partial sleeve crop top over it, small matching shorts, and one foot cover/wrist cover respectively. There are red circular markings that start at mid-thigh and continue up past the bottom of the shirt, much like the ones the others have.

Ivy from Carmen Sandiego

Ivy (voiced by Abby Trott) is part of Carmen’s main team (be it thieves or in league with A.C.M.E) in the 2019 Netflix adaptation of Carmen Sandiego.

She and her brother Zack work in a team to aid Carmen in her retrieval and recovery thieving, doing everything from being a getaway driver to disguising herself as Carmen when necessary for the other to make a quick escape.

Ivy has short wavy reddish orange hair, very light greenish-blue eyes, and prominent freckles. She wears a very easy to move around in outfit due to the nature of her job. It consists of a pair of greyish white capris, a black t-shirt with blue sleeves, and red high-top converse shoes.
