Wearing the same playful outfit she wears in Turning Red, Mei Mei rocks a pleated skirt, a pink button-down Fair Isle sweater, purple leggings, and some cute and comfy kicks. Her bright turquoise barette and trademark round glasses complete the look.
But the BEST thing about Mei Mei just might be her panda ears and tell-tale tail poking out from beneath her skirt!
