Nina Flores wears an outfit defined by bold color blocking—bright leaf green up top, deep teal joggers below, and hot pink boots. It is a vibrant, upbeat animated design that translates cleanly into real-world clothing because every component exists as regular casualwear.
The real identity of the costume comes from the hair styling and character props. Without the high pigtails, oversized pink bows, yellow star clip, and her companion Star, the clothes look like everyday playwear. When those accessories come together, the character becomes unmistakable.
The Base Outfit: Shirt and Joggers
The upper half is a short-sleeved polo shirt in bright leaf green with a clean knit collar. Standard cotton pique works fine here, though a smooth cotton-poly blend will keep the collar sitting crisp without wrinkling after hours of wear. Nina wears the shirt tucked loosely or sitting just past the waistband of her pants.
Her pants are deep blue-green joggers with elastic cuffs at the ankles. You want a distinct teal or dark petrol blue rather than navy or true green, providing enough contrast against the bright polo shirt. The cuffs should gather neatly above the ankle so they do not bunch inside or spill over the boots.
Footwear
Nina wears chunky, bright hot pink ankle boots that sit right below the calf. Suede-finish or faux-shearling winter boots match the rounded, slightly exaggerated cartoon silhouette of her feet. Since the joggers taper with elastic cuffs, tuck the hems directly into the boots to maintain that clean break between the dark teal fabric and the vivid pink footwear.
Styling the Hair and Bows
Nina’s hairstyle consists of two high pigtails placed high on the crown of the head, framing the face. If you are styling your own hair or a synthetic wig, create a crisp center part from forehead to nape. Gathering the hair high enough to match the animated silhouette can cause tension on natural hair, so setting the base with mint green hair ties and lightly backcombing the base gives the ponytails volume without drooping.
Each pigtail is accented with a wide hot pink grosgrain ribbon bow fastened directly over the green hair ties. The distinctive accessory is the yellow star hair pin, which clips on Nina’s right side, nestled just beneath or beside the front of the pigtail. A sturdy alligator clip back keeps the star facing forward throughout the day without twisting sideways into the hair.
Props and Accessories
Her woven Mexican falsa tote bag is essential to how Nina carries herself through the neighborhood. A striped woven tote featuring vibrant accent threads and fringe tassels along the edges matches her screen appearance while giving you an authentic way to stash convention essentials. The shoulder strap should hang comfortably at hip level for hands-free walking.
Tucked right inside the tote—or held in hand—is Star, Nina’s plush companion. A five-pointed yellow plush with embroidered or printed facial features completes the pairing. If you plan to carry Star around a crowded convention floor, adding a small wrist lanyard or a hidden safety pin tether inside the bag prevents dropping the plush during photo shoots.
