Louise from Max & Ruby
Louise is a frequently recurring character in the children’s series Max & Ruby. She is best friends with Ruby, while her younger cousin Morris is best friends with Max. I included brown shoes here as a nod to Louise’s brown fur, and you could easily also wear brown tights to take that nod a smidge further. Layering a long sleeve brown tee under a yellow short sleeve tee underneath a dress may be a bit uncomfortable, but that’s an additional option as well!
Cookie Monster
C is for cookie, that’s good enough for me! Cookie Monster is a character in the beloved children’s show Sesame Street. A cuddly, endearing and determined monster, he has insatiable appetite for food – specifically cookies. Despite his struggle to control his impulses, Cookie Monster will always share his snacks with friends like Elmo and Abby. Make an easy cookie prop by cutting a circle from cardboard and drawing dark brown dots as chocolate chips.
Sis Swing from LOL Surprise!
LOL Surprise!‘s Sis Swing is a sweet, sock-hop-ready character with her striped shirt and pink poodle skirt. Thankfully, this makes her look pretty darn easy to emulate. If you wanted to make slightly more reference to her character specifically, you could carry a plush toy of a beagle, as Sis has a little beagle pup named Pup Swing. A little bit of pink lipstick really ties everything together.

Princess Bubblegum, voiced by Hyden Watch, is a character from the Adventure Time franchise. She is the ruler of the Candy Kingdom.

Mallow from Pokemon Sun & Moon
Pokemon‘s Mallow is a young trainer and chef from the Alola region (featured in the Hawaii-inspired Sun & Moon games and portion of the anime). Her design’s color palette is somewhat reminiscent of her companion Pokemon, Tsareena. This cosplay is perfect for cons and events in hot places or during the summer months when a more layered or heavy cosplay can get quite uncomfortable. An extra item to include could be a plush, pin, or some kind of accessory that makes reference to Tsareena! You could even swap her ladle for a Tsareena reference, if you wanted.
Captain Bula from The Zula Patrol
Captain Bula is the steady, sometimes frazzled captain of the animated PBS series The Zula Patrol, voiced by Cam Clarke. His purple flight suit suits a leader who keeps a space science crew on mission, while his green skin, small red tuft, and antennae make the look easy to recognize. Start with a purple zip front jumpsuit, then build the antennae onto a plain headband and paint your face bright green.
