Carbon Costume

Duncan Wedderburn is one of the main characters from the film Poor Things, and is played by Mark Ruffalo. Poor Things is a truly unique film directed by Yorgos Lanthimos and follows Bella Baxter, a woman who is reanimated and goes again through stages of childhood to adulthood throughout the film.

To dress like Duncan, wear a three-piece gray suit with a white shirt, black bow tie, black leather gloves, a straw boater hat with black wig on, and a black cane with a gold handle.

Maestro is a film directed by Bradley Cooper who also stars as the protagonist, Leonard Bernstein. The film is a biopic of Leonard Bernstein’s life and rise to fame as a successful conductor. Carey Mulligan in the film plays Felicia Montealegre, an actress and wife of Bernstein. We get to see her life alongside him as they grow old and face different struggles.

Earlier in the film, when Felicia is younger at a party, we see her wear an elegant outfit that features a light blue dress paired with 3 strands of pearls. Later she wears a recognizable look of a tweed blazer and skirt with a pink bow blouse.

Saltburn is a new film by Emerald Fennel that follows Oliver Quick as he stays in his rich classmate Felix’s estate, and a series of horrifying events occur. Elspeth Catton is Felix’s mother and is played by Rosamund Pike. She’s Saltburn’s Matriarch and although is careless, becomes a somewhat likable character.

To dress like Elspeth, wear light and flowy pieces that have a bohemian style, like a blue and white printed robe/ cover-up, a navy floral long-sleeve dress, or a red velvet embroidered vest paired with a white button down shirt and blue jeans.

Lucky Flickerman is a character from the new Hunger Games film: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes and is played by Jason Schwartzman. The Hunger Games series of films are based off of the original books by Suzanne Collins. This film takes place 64 years before the original Hunger Games we know. In this new film, we get to see Coriolanus Snow at 18 years old who is assigned to mentor Lucy of District 12 as the 10th annual Hunger Games approaches. Lucky Flickerman is the charismatic announcer and very first host of the games.

Lucky Flickerman dresses for the occasion wearing a red velvet blazer with black details, white shirt, velvet black bow tie, black pleated pants and shiny black dress shoes. To add even more to the costume, add a fun prop mic and stick-on curled mustache.

Lorraine is a character from the Ti West Horror Film X, and is played by Jenna Ortega. X follows a group of actors that go to a house in rural Texas to make an adult film, when their elderly hosts turn on them. Lorraine in this film is the boom mic operator for the film.

Saltburn is a new film by Emerald Fennel that follows Oliver Quick as he stays in his rich classmate Felix’s estate, and a series of horrifying events occur. Venetia Catton is Felix’s sister and has a fling with Oliver at, and is played by Alison Oliver. She’s a character with lots of personality and at first seems shallow until we get to know her character more.

To create Venetia’s iconic pink look for yourself, wear a glittery purple dress or jumpsuit, pink cat-eye sunglasses, and layer over it a pink fun and party-ready tinsel jacket.

Karen is a character from the new 2024 musical movie Mean Girls, and is played by Avantika Vandanapu. This new film is based on the Mean Girls musical, a live broadway show that follows the story of the 2004 film Mean Girls, that we all know starring Lindsay Lohan and Rachel McAdams. Karen is a part of ‘the plastics’ which are the group of popular girls in school. She is known as the hilariously ditsy character.

Karen’s costume, like the others in this new take on the story follow current trends. One look you could recreate is this bright and trendy look that features a color-block chunky sweater and a blue crop top that ties in the front. Another is a pink look that features a pink button-front skirt, a pink tie-front sweater over a white lettuce hem top and red sunglasses.

Nathan is a character in the film A Good Person by Zach Braff, and is played by Chinaza Uche. A Good Person is a charming but emotional film that tackles topics like addiction and grief.

Nathan has a very sleek but simple style that sticks with mostly a color palette of blues. He wears a light blue denim shirt, or a light blue dress shirt, a navy puffer jacket with a contrasting fabric sleeve, brown dress shoes, and a black peacoat.
