Does anybody know where I can find some pictures on ancient Ethiopian, Egyptian, and Persian wardrobe? I'm currently reading The Aethiopica written by Heliodorus.

This site has sections for each civilization, with pictures on all of the pages. There is also an additional material section with pictures of them in their normal attire.
For the Egyptians, there is also pictures of their jewelry and furniture. In the Persian section, there are pictures from Apadana of almost all of the ancient people.
You might also want to look at the Roman mummy portrait section, some of the pictures are beautiful, and very informative as to what the people looked like, and what clothing they wore.

Those pictures look similar to the way the ancient Egyptians drew themselves.

^ Yes, the similarities are no doubt due to influence from the Egyptians, but can you spot out the differences or rather what features are native to the Kushites?

^ I don't know about the hairstyle being Ethiopian, but I do know that it is Egyptian where Egyptologists have dubbed it "Nubian" style.

ALOT of the clothing look exactly the same to a certain point in the napatan period but there are some difference if you look at more of the art. later there were more difference in the meroe period and more so later.in other words there were clothing that were more closer to each other and there were other clothing that egyptians did not have.
