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.

With the closing of the Harry Potter movie series in July, Bellatrix Lestrange has emerged as the woman to be for Halloween 2011. Who wouldn't want to be her? Witches are the empresses of Halloween. Wickedest of wicked witches, Bellatrix is not above placing Cruciatus hexes on you. Here's how to dress up as Bellatrix for Halloween: 1. Wand Get into character with a Harry Potter wand. Your Bellatrix getup is incomplete without it. Like its owner, Bellatrix's wand can be described as "unyielding."

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 as Madam Mim

Photo via Heider Carlos Eat your heart out, Mystique. The magnificent, marvelous, mad Madam Mim from The Sword in the Stone has the shapeshifting business down pat. With powers of transfiguration rivalled only by Merlin and Maleficent, Madam Mim is a one-size-fits-all Disney villain. This is the sorceress with the ability to turn herself from this: To this: Madam Mim can reverse ageing and shed weight for the fraction of time it takes Ursula to morph into Vanessa. In hindsight, Mother Gothel should have just asked Mim for tips instead of committing all those crimes in pursuit of rejuvenation. Hair via New Republic Be beautiful, lovely and fair, have some silvery voice, but never forget the long purple hair! The lavender wig is essential if you intend to channel the scourge of Camelot. If you want to be skinny Madam Mim, go for the longest wig . The older, plumper Mim would opt for a shoulder-length one . Either way, give the wig a little tousle for that truly ...
