Miss Bellum Costume
The brilliant, stylish, and mysterious deputy mayor of Townsville.
Miss Sara Bellum from The Powerpuff Girls is famous for her sharp intellect, towering red hair, and a face that is almost always obscured. This costume is a favorite for nostalgic 90s kids and cosplayers who love a classic, sophisticated cartoon look. The outfit centers around a sharp red skirt suit, a massive black waist belt, and voluminous orange curls.
