How to Dress Like President Alma Coin from The Hunger Games

A scene from the Lionsgate movie The Hunger Games: Mockingjay 2

Panem was not based on North America for nothing, with pop stars like Katy Perry coming in full Hunger Games regalia to the presidential inauguration in 2021. 

The fashion of The Hunger Games has really moved from fiction to life since the end of the tetralogy in 2015. From celebrities to models and the die-hard fandom itself, many have volunteered themselves as Tributes to cosplaying the characters. 

Politicians could soon be styling themselves after President Alma Coin, whose costumes in the movie left no crumbs for mockingjays. 

Costume 

President Coin is a true figure of authority in her costumes. Her severe, buttoned-up look is meant to be a point of contrast against Miss Everdeen's outfit, said costumer Bart Mueller. "Katniss is never exactly buttoned up. Her collar is open, or her sleeves are rolled up. She’s always a bit against the norm ... To see them in the same clothes actually accentuates their differences."

Alma's show-stopping finale look is a futuristic take on the capelet. Up for a sewing challenge? You might want to check this out.   

Hair

Getting gray hair like Madame President Coin can be a somewhat painful, itchy task. If you haven't had your tresses bleached before, the entire process could take up to eight hours. “You have to strip the hair of all its colour and then tone it," said celebrity hairdresser Danny Moon. "You have to make the person a platinum and then once they’re that light, you put the temporary colour—like a toner or glow—over it and it rinses out over four to five weeks.”

If you're not ready for all that, might as well go for a silver wig with a bob cut and middle part. 

Make-up

The Hunger Games movies have a range of makeup products officially licensed by Lionsgate. These include liquid lipsticks and glitter liners with names like Girl on Fire, Cinna and, perhaps Ms. Coin's favorite, Primrose. They even have faux mink lashes inspired by Octavia and Flavius. 

It might comfort you to know that everything in the makeup collection is cruelty-free, unlike Alma. Nothing left to say at this point except: May your (makeup brush) aim be as true as your heart is pure.

How to Dress as Queen Grimhilde from Snow White

Maleficent may have shockingly strong powers, but at the end of the day, you've got to ask: Who's got the crown? Snow White's stepmother is queen bee among Disney villains in more ways than one. She's First Evil in Disney's full-length animations and the highest-ranking animated character in AFI's list of greatest villains . And sorry, ye ageist Mirror: In the beauty department, she can more than hold her own in an apples-to-apples comparison with Snow White. Now, now, we all know Grimhilde (the character was only named after the fact) is a two-in-one bargain among Disney villains. You could either a.) dress up as the 1930s screen goddess or b.) the cackling crone. This guide will skew younger for now. Without further ado, here's how you can be fairest of them all on Halloween night: Costume To shroud my clothes, the black of night   Short of an evil spell, just print out a full-body pic of the Queen and let your tailor or seamstress do the mag...

How to Dress as Morticia Addams

All Hallow's Eve is fast approaching. From now until the macabre occasion, Cautionary Women will give you tips and tricks on what is Halloween all about: dressing up! To start, let's try to get the look of Morticia Addams, one of the reigning queens of Halloween. Anjelica Huston as Morticia Addams Now Morticia, the iconic matriarch of the Addams Family, is scarcely the evil woman pictured here at Cautionary Women. She is rather something of a paradox: scary-looking but kind (in the way she knows how), intimidating but approachable (again, in the way she knows how). She is just eerie, not evil. Carolyn Jones as Morticia Yet Morticia can give any superbly nefarious queen a run for her money. Whether on TV, film, or anywhere The Addams Family franchise is splayed, Morticia commands attention with her spine-tingling style. Sure she may be fundamentally good and all, but try running into her on a solitary road at night. Here's how to be Morticia Addams for...

How to Dress Like Narcissa Malfoy from Harry Potter

So many wicked witches populate the Harry Potter universe, chief among them Bellatrix Lestrange , but there's one who brings a touch of class to her witchery: Narcissa 'Cissy' Black Malfoy. Married into money, Narcissa is as pureblood as they come. She takes pride in her stock a little too much, the complete antithesis of her humble sister Andromeda. While she's not as cuckoo for cocoa puffs or overtly murderous as her other sister Bellatrix, she can be very classist and racist, not afraid to thumb her nose down at Muggles. At least you won't ever catch Mrs. Lucius Malfoy in raggedy clothes.  Narcissa Malfoy cosplay Narcissa Malfoy with big sis Bellatrix Lestrange  Draco Malfoy's mother is always well put together, as seen on the few scenes she has on the Harry Potter films. The classic Narcissa Malfoy costume is one in which the late actress Helen McCrory wears a fabulous green variation of a blazer dress with long sleeves, rounded shoulders and cinched waist....
