I feel like this is either a high brow history reference I'm too dumb to get or a zoomer reference I'm too old to recognise.

The little guy looks like Lord Farquad from Shrek

Not sure who the girl’s supposed to be tho

It's instantly recognizable lol. Might depend on the year of your birth, though

The girl’s not a redhead, the dress is too dark, the sash is not triangle shaped and the tiara is not golden

And somehow, I picture Fiona with green skin but that might be the later movies that throw me off

Genuinely couldn’t figure who she was going for

I agree with you, but I can't be the only one who didn't recognize her until he stepped in.

Let's say, the other couples must have had awful costumes.

I guess we're spoiled by good cosplay.
