For Belly, put on the floral sundress and pair it with simple white sneakers or flat sandals.

Style Belly's hair in loose, natural beach waves or a casual half-up, half-down look.
- 3
Have the Belly cosplayer carry the plush polar bear (Junior Mint) as a key prop.
- 4
For Conrad, layer the grey t-shirt under the open navy blue hoodie.
- 5
Pair Conrad's tops with the khaki chino shorts and casual canvas sneakers or boat shoes.

Keep Conrad's hair slightly messy and windblown to capture the coastal vibe.
Makeup & hair
Keep makeup minimal, fresh-faced, and dewy with a touch of pink lip balm and light bronzer for a sun-kissed look. Hair should look natural, air-dried, and beachy.
