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.

How to Dress Like Maria Paula from Lazos de Amor

Qué personaje te gustaría ser? Ask any viewer of the classic telenovela Lazos de Amor this question, and you'll probably get the same answer: Señorita María Paula Rivas Iturbe .

You've been bamboozled by Agnes, and now you want to be another magical girl in town.   Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe got off to a bewitchingly good start with Wandavision and its totally unexpected big bad: Agatha Harkness.  This is not the Agatha you know from the Marvel comic books: She's no doting nanny to Franklin Richards or selfless mentor to Wanda Maximoff here. It's true that Fantastic Four and Hellcat supervillain Nicholas Scratch takes a bit after Agatha in the comics—she's his mom, which explains her fondness for Señor Scratchy perhaps—but the Disney+ version of her is just outright vile. (To be fair to Agatha, Wanda does share some co-villainess duties with her.) Don't just be any wicked witch this Halloween. Be the insidious, perfidious Agatha Harkness!
