Who Falls into the Fame & Facades Category?

• Pop Star – Always “on,” dripping with glitter, and suspiciously calm under scandal.

• Award-Winning Actor – Serious method vibes. Possibly took a murder role a little too seriously.

• Reality TV Celebrity – Loud, chaotic, and filming everything "for the brand."

• Faded 90s Icon – Still wears sunglasses inside. Might think they’re still famous. Might be right.

• Social Media Influencer – Lip gloss, fake followers, real ambition.

• Celebrity Chef – Fancy apron with a sharper tongue than a knife.

• Fashion Model – Stilettos and shade. 

• Comedian or Talk Show Host – Never stops joking. Even when someone drops dead.

• Teen Idol Turned Disaster – The smile says, “I'm fine.” The sunglasses say otherwise.

• Red Carpet Correspondent – Obsessed with drama. Conveniently always near the body.

THE COSTUME: Closet Staples You Might Already Have

For the Diva / Pop Star Look:

• Sequin dress, rhinestone bodysuit, or flashy two-piece set

• Faux fur, feather boa, or oversized sunglasses

• Heeled boots or sparkly heels

• Dramatic cape, shawl, or stage coat (bonus if it swishes)

For the Washed-Up Icon / Actor Look:

• Silk robe over a wrinkled designer shirt

• Loafers with no socks, and big statement sunglasses (worn at night)

• Vintage band tee with leather pants or faded jeans

• Wireless mic or fake cue cards

• All-white teeth (real or… suspicious)

• Constantly checking for camera angles, even without a camera

 

HAIR & MAKEUP:

• Hair: Big, bold, or intentionally messy. Think red carpet waves, a power ponytail, frosted tips, or a messy bun with “I’m too famous to care” energy.

• Makeup:

  • Pop stars: glitter, highlighter, dramatic lashes.

  • Washed-up celebs: smeared eyeliner and regret.

  • Influencers: perfect contour and unnaturally smooth skin.

  • Hosts/reporters: matte, polished, “TV-ready.”
    Optional: a visible makeup smudge or lipstick on your teeth for comic relief.

 

ACCESSORIES: 

• Sunglasses (worn indoors = instant fame)

• A trophy, award, or fake Emmy/Oscar

• VIP lanyard or badge that says “TALENT”

• Phone glued to hand, constantly livestreaming

• A tiny dog in a purse, or at least a purse that looks like a tiny dog

• A printed tabloid headline like “Starlet Snaps Again!”

• Autograph pen and headshots

• A ridiculous rider (“NO GREEN M&Ms”) that you hand to the host

• Bodyguard prop (inflatable/stuffed/printed and placed on cardboard) trailing behind you with a water bottle and sunglasses

CHARACTER & ROLEPLAYING TIPS

Voice & Speech

• Confident, dramatic, and occasionally fake humble. Speak like there’s always a camera on. Use phrases like:

• “I’m not here to make friends, I’m here to win.”

• “Is this angle good for lighting?”

• “I wasn’t in the room when it happened, but if I was… I would’ve nailed the scene.”

• “This murder is so off-brand.”

• “I don’t do death scenes anymore—not since Cannes.”

Behavioral Quirks

• Pose dramatically even in tense moments

• Constantly reapply lipstick or fix your hair

• Pretend to get phone calls—“What? Vogue again? Ugh.”

• Autograph weird things (napkins, murder weapons, suspects)

• Refer to people by what they were in, like “Hey, weren’t you that guy from Toaster Crimes?”

 Bonus Touches

• Refuse to sit in bad lighting

• Introduce yourself with your follower count

• Leave a signed headshot at the murder scene

• Drop scandalous lines like,
  “I had dinner with the victim once… they sent back the caviar. Coincidence?”

• Blame the murder on a publicity stunt gone wrong

• Fake-cry under a ring light, then ask, “Did you get that?”
