To create a look for the Video Game Character theme for Dress to Impress, your goal is to create an outfit that reflects a specific character from a video game. it’s entirely up to you what game and character you choose, but if you want to win, I recommend choosing a fairly well-known character.

If you choose to create someone who not everyone knows, you might not get many votes even if your look is spot on. Because of this, it’s best to choose an iconic character that the vast majority of players are likely to know or recognize.

The vast majority of Dress to Impress themes work best with specific colors, patterns, and items, as is the case for challenges like Eldritch Horror, Frutiger Aero Nostalgia, Swan Lake, and Divine Being. For this one, though, all items, patterns, and colors are viable since you’re just focused on recreating a specific character’s look.

To create a perfect look for this challenge, focus on key character details. The little details on the characters you know and love are what’s going to help you get on the winner’s podium. If you’re creating Lara Croft, she should have her signature necklace, and Mario can’t be Mario without a red hat, so make sure you’re incorporating all of the essential components while also taking creative liberties to help your design stand out.

1) Klee from Genshin Impact

This Klee design is one of the best looks I’ve seen for this theme. They perfectly recreated her signature look even down to her ponytails. Genshin characters have pretty complex designs, but if you can successfully recreate one, they always look amazing and are quite recognizable.

2) Shadow from Sonic the Hedgehog

This player made an outfit based on Shadow and it’s a perfect example of how to take creative liberties while still ensuring it’s clear which character you are. The use of patterns and layering is especially strong in this design.

3) Bonnie from Five Nights at Freddy’s

If you’re up for a challenge, trying to recreate Five Nights at Freddy’s characters like Bonnie can be quite tough but very rewarding when done right. This player did an amazing job replicating this character using a very blue color palette with perfectly placed red accents throughout. Make sure you grab the bunny ears if you design this character since they’re the perfect finishing touch.

4) Alex and Steve from Minecraft

Minecraft is a very longstanding game, which means the characters from it are recognizable to most players, so creating Alex or Steve for this challenge is a great option. It’s an especially good choice if you can get someone to duo with you since the otherwise simple outfits stand out a lot more when presented together.

5) Bella Goth from The Sims

Bella Goth might be the most iconic The Sims character of all time, and her signature red dress look is a perfect design to recreate in this challenge. It’s a pretty simple design to replicate, but it’s bound to help you stand out as most players usually opt to replicate other characters. This player created a great example of this design.
