Cat Valentine is the character Ariana Grande portrays in Nickelodeon’s Sam & Cat, continuing the role she began in Victorious. For this guide, we’re sticking to one specific outfit from the Sam & Cat episode #GoomerSitting: a pale pink floral dress, a light pink cardigan, and Cat’s long, deep-red curls. It’s a sweet, instantly recognizable look with enough pink to make a cotton-candy shop feel underdressed.
Start with a pale pink, small-floral fit-and-flare dress, then layer the light pink cardigan over it. Add a long auburn-red curly wig and sweep the bangs to the side for Cat’s signature hair shape. Bright pink low-top sneakers make a comfy, coordinated finishing touch, though the episode stills don’t show her shoes, so treat them as a practical styling choice. Want a matching character? Check out the guide to Sam Puckett, Cat’s co-lead and roommate. And if you’re curious where Cat first appeared, browse Victorious.
Cat Valentine — Victorious / Sam & Cat Cosplay Ideas
For Cat Valentine’s #GoomerSitting outfit, begin with the pale pink floral fit-and-flare dress. Its skirt falls longer than Cat’s above-knee skirt in the episode still, so shorten and hem it above the knee to recreate her silhouette. Try the dress on with the shoes you plan to wear, mark an even length, and leave a small hem allowance before trimming. Sew a basic hem for the cleanest finish; fabric-compatible iron-on hemming tape is another option when the dress care label allows the heat. Layer the light pink long-sleeved cardigan over it. Keeping those two pieces together is the key to this particular outfit, so skip the different pink bustier look and other episode styles.
Next, add the long auburn-red curly wig. Cat’s deep-red curls are a defining part of the look, so fluff them out for plenty of volume and sweep the bangs to one side to suggest her side-parted front. Finish with bright pink low-top canvas sneakers for a comfortable, color-coordinated choice. The stills crop above Cat’s shoes, so the sneakers are practical styling, not verified screen footwear. If you’re dressing up with a friend, Sam Puckett makes a natural companion character. Keep the outfit simple, let the curls do their thing, and you’ll have the right Cat without accidentally wandering into another episode’s wardrobe.

About Cat Valentine — Victorious / Sam & Cat
Cat Valentine is portrayed by Ariana Grande in Nickelodeon’s Sam & Cat, a series that continues the character from Victorious. The #GoomerSitting episode is part of Sam & Cat’s first season. Cat’s look in the episode stills is easy to recognize: a pale pink floral dress with an above-knee flared skirt, a light pink cardigan, and long, deep-red curls. Shorten the dress hem above the knee to match the reference.
This guide focuses on that specific outfit rather than mixing in clothes from other episodes or promotional photos. Bright pink sneakers are included as a practical costume choice, but the available stills crop above the shoes, so they don’t confirm what Cat wore on her feet.
