The goal, ultimately, is to create costumes that not only make sense for the character but also get a response from the audience. All you’ll need is a blonde wig, a pink dress, and a few key accessories. Let’s get started on creating the perfect Gretchen Wieners costume! And what of the Plastics? Their costumes exude money in their detail and fabrics, which makes sense given that Barnes believes Regina George and Gretchen Wieners are likely the richest families at North Shore High. The naive protagonist, Cady Heron, is the one who undergoes a transformation which is revealed through her inconsistent style throughout the film. Everything at Once And what about these patches? All of them were found online by Barnes' team and needed to be focused not just on Africa, but animals too. "The family would have traveled around the country and observed different kinds of animals and cultures and how do local communities interact with animals," said Barnes. "In the way that old ladies go to Europe and collect spoons, Cady is a kid who collects these patches."

For example, a skirt worn by Gretchen in a mall scene is actually a piece created by Missoni for children. "We got the biggest one we could find and we thought that was kind of funny, that it was a kids thing." The know-it-all of the group, Gretchen Wieners has been the symbol of inclusivity for all us curlies out there. More so, she is known for her class and wild feminine attires (think her Halloween costume). The actors' input really helped drive the success of the costumes, Barnes admitted, adding with a laugh, "I mean, they should get co-design credits." Whether you want to semi-cosplay as one of the mean girls characters or simply want some inspiration to experiment with, here are the key tips to take away on fashion from this movie. Let us all be a Little Bit Dramatic, and wear Pink on Wednesdays! Regina George If you are the kind to go ultra feminien with your outfits, then this outfit is the one to start creating.

Dress up as Gretchen Wieners (Lacey Chabert)

Beyond the world of costumes and festivities, Doc Cotton finds solace and joy in van life and outdoor adventures. Whether he's hitting the open road, camping beneath the stars, or exploring the great outdoors, he cherishes every moment of his outdoor escapades. Costume designer Gregg Barnes rarely looked to the film for inspiration for his looks, instead collaborating with the actors to find the right outfits for their characters. Mean Girls is an iconic movie with a cult-like following that never seems to wane. The high-school comedy is a classic full of funny and famous quotes (including the popular saying: "On Wednesdays we wear pink") and has a stereotypical yet semi-realistic viewpoint on what teenagers go through during their young adult life. Not to mention the characters have colorful outfits perfect for group outfits and couples Halloween costumes. And if you want to dress up as one of The Plastic squad members (or other characters from the movie) we're sharing DIY Mean Girls Halloween costumes, that are incredibly pink and "fetch." Doc Cotton is a man of simple pleasures and diverse interests. His heart belongs to the world of cosplay, costumes and fancy dress, with a special fondness for Halloween, where his creative spirit truly shines. Over the years he has been hired by people across the country to make custom halloween costumes and other fancy dress for specific events.

Her kitten heels and slim wristwatch are the only things white which complements the outfit. To make this outfit your own, add darker or lighter hues of pink, or a complementary colour such as blue or pastel greens. Cady Heron Here we will look at two version of this fancy dress including her halloween costume as seen in the Mean Girls movie Gretchen Wieners Costume – Original Pink Sweater While Barnes tried to stay away from recreating any looks in the movie, he did let one iconic look slip in: Damian’s sweatshirt and sunglasses costume from the gym scene, right down to the same color blue. Costume Designer Mary Jane Fort sums up her work, “We sort of allowed ourselves to go into the version of a candy store. Everything bright and shiny and sweet and delightful is what we chose to illustrate plastics with.” The costumes in Mean Girlsrun the gamut from high-end boutique to hand-me-down plaid, animal feather chic to quotable tees.

One of the outfits which show her as a perfect part of the group is the montage of Cady wearing an ensemble which has species inspired from each of the plastics. The pastels in pink and blue are reminiscent of innocent Karen, while the plaid skirt and jewellery styles are similar to that of Gretchen and Regina respectively. When he's not busy crafting imaginative costumes, Doc Cotton loves nothing more than a good party. He's the one who knows how to turn any gathering into a memorable event, infusing it with fun and excitement. Throughout the film, Gretchen seems to be belittled by Regina. Although Gretchen may not like this, she knows she'd rather be in the Plastics, hating life than not being in the Plastics at all.

Although she fits in the rules of wearing pink on Wednesdays, she has the least amount of pink, suggesting how she can get away with not following her own rules thanks to her power. Kitten heels in a sandal design were the trend of the 2000s, which today can be worn as a closed toe heel to add your own thought in the look. Along with the heels, she has a Louis Vuitton purse, which can be switched to a budgeted saddle bag of your choice. Gretchen Wieners I thought, 'Well, we can be bold here," Barnes said. "'We can choose things without the fear that they're going to become ostracized or bullied, because the two of them obviously stand up for themselves' and I thought [the T-shirt] helped tell that story."She can be quite mean if needed, but it seems to be only an influence of Regina, since Gretchen shows to be a lot nicer than her. It is also mentioned that she's Jewish, as she said that her parents got her white-gold hoop earrings for Hanukkah.
