mm... not too bad. Kate's hair is only very slightly curly (enough to tuck in a bit at the bottom and wave slightly), and she doesn't really look much like Gwynn, but you could do worse as a base for a mental image.

Kate would wear that outfit:

1) On a dare from any one of a very select group of people.
2) For Halloween.
3) For specific private and personal uses. :)

Utena would wear that outfit:

1) If she were nailed with a phaser on stun, then chained to a Hutt. And then she'd kill him, and anybody else who got close enough.

:)

Weirdly, I don't actually think she'd look good in that outfit. It's too... wrong for her.
