In the realms of fiction, certain characters are known for their extensive and opulent wardrobes that capture the imaginations of fans. From the iconic Padmé Amidala and Daenerys Targaryen to more whimsical characters like Kinomoto Sakura, these figures stand out due to their distinct and elaborate fashion choices. Let's explore a few more examples of characters who showcase a staggering array of costumes.

Examples of Fictional Characters with Lavish Wardrobes

Kinomoto Sakura, Card Captor Sakura

Unlike many magical girls, the protagonist Kinomoto Sakura of the anime Card Captor Sakura does not possess the ability to magically transform. Instead, her wardrobe is designed and tailored by her loyal friend, a talented and creative fashion designer named Tomoyo. This is achieved through carefully crafted outfits, each more elaborate than the last, reflecting Sakura's growth and the changing seasons. Picture: I doubt anybody would wear Tomoyo’s costumes voluntarily.

Ginger Grant from Gilligan's Island

In the classic TV show Gilligan's Island, Ginger Grant was the embodiment of glamour. Despite being stranded on a desert island, Ginger continued to wear stunning and fashionable new dresses in almost every episode, flaunting her glamorous wardrobe and maintaining a touch of elegance in her dire circumstances.

Scarlett O'Hara from Gone with the Wind

The character of Scarlett O'Hara from the original 1939 film Gone with the Wind and its 1994 TV mini-series sequel is a quintessential example of a character with an extensive wardrobe. Her fashion choices are central to her character and help to define her, even in the midst of tragedy and hardship.

Janet Van Dyne from Marvel Comics

In the world of comics, Janet Van Dyne, known as the Wasp, takes the cake for characters with an extensive wardrobe. As a fashion designer, model, and superhero, her outfits change constantly, reflecting her multifaceted role. This constant flux in her attire is not just a fun element but also supports her changing personas and roles. During George Perez's run on (soundtrack) The Avengers (video), he designed a new outfit for Janet in every single issue, showcasing her versatility and appeal.
