How to Dress Like Jobu Tupaki from Everything Everywhere All at Once

To see dozens of Jobu Tupakis, you need not jump around the multiverse. Just go to your local Halloween party this year.

It's the "Everything Everywhere All at Once" effect. The movie has really secured its legacy by becoming the highest-grossing movie for A24, the company behind "Moonlight" and "Hereditary."

But for a movie predicated on so much world-building through fashion, the Michelle Yeoh starrer surprisingly spent less than you think on costumes. As the movie's rock-star costume designer Shirley Kurata told Soho House, the budget for the movie was "probably the cost of one Marvel costume."

The multiplicity of the multiverse really comes alive in the person of Jobu Tupaki, played by Stephanie Hsu who felt at home in the Gotham-like fashion sensibilities of the villainess. Hsu flits from alter ego to alter ego in wardrobe changes that include a white Elvis-like jumpsuit; a teddy-bear-sleeved Jeremy Scott jacket; a full-body tartan outfit; a luchador costume; a pink golfer number; a Harajuku-inspired goth anime ensemble; and more attires, some left in the cutting room.

But Kurata's favorite? The all-white apotheotic look in the bagel universe: Goddess Jobu.

Here's how you can verse-jump to this look:

Kurata is especially proud of this "surreal futuristic look." Goddess Jobu's skirt was courtesy of designer Claudia Li but everything else was Kurata's handiwork.

For this look, you need to find an Elizabethan collar to pair with a long white gown.

This look is not complete without its signature hairpiece: a bagel-shaped bun. Hairstylist Anissa Salazar actually used glue to secure the braids that go around the bun and across Hsu's head.

Jobu Tupaki makeup

Head makeup artist Michelle Chung is just as much to thank for the film's multiversal appeal. Chung's mood boards were mined from K-beauty looks and what-not.

Picasso even inspired one of her most standout works: a makeup creation that looked as if Hsu's eye was open, the other closed. "For everything to be on her face at once—the culmination of all of her characters,” Chung told Vogue.

In Stephanie's words:

So there. Be Jobu Tupaki for a day and live your best you.

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...

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....
