Carbon Costume

Jacob is a character in the school comedy series Abbott Elementary, and is played by Chris Perfetti. Jacob is a history grade teacher at the elementary school in the series. He is an awkward but genuine and supportive character, as well as good friends with Janine.

Jacob’s wardrobe consists of lots of brown tones and flannels. He often pairs a flannel printed or plaid dress shirt with a blazer. Another look of his is a green teal bomber jacket with a cream turtleneck and brown pants, and always a blue lanyard for his school ID along with the other teachers at Abbott.

Ada is a character from the A24 film called Lamb. Lamb is a fantasy/horror film that takes place in rural Iceland. A couple there discovers an unnatural newborn lamb in their sheep barn that is a human and sheep hybrid, and decide to take in the lamb as their own.

This character would make for a hilarious and clever costume for movie fans, especially those who enjoy horror and A24. For the past few years we have seen A24 themed costume parties pop up in viral videos around Halloween every year, especially when people get super creative, so this would be a great one for that. To dress like Ada, wear a lamb/sheep mask or hat with ears, a wildflower crown, a navy raincoat and blue cable-knit sweater to create this recognizable look from the film.

Umbrellas of Cherbourg is a French musical film from 1964, and is directed by Jacques Demy. This colorful film follows Genevieve who works at a local boutique that sells umbrellas as she meets Guy, a mechanic who later becomes drafted and their relationship is tested.

Guy has a classic menswear style but is unique in that his outfits include bright pops of color. One look that can be easily recreated includes a khaki raincoat worn over a blue pinstriped blazer, and underneath that a pink button down shirt with a navy printed tie. Another is a brown blazer with a bright blue teal shirt.

Gregory is a character in the school comedy series Abbott Elementary, and is played by Tyler James Williams. Gregory is a first grade teacher at the elementary school in the series. He is a newer teacher at the school and we follow him as he begins teaching there and grows and learns from it.

Gregory has a very simple but distinct style that is very fitting for a school teacher. To dress like him, wear a red polo long sleeve shirt with a plaid-printed dress pant. Another is a navy dotted shirt with a matching navy tie, and he always wears a blue lanyard to hold his ID just like the other teachers at Abbott.

David is the main character from the A24 film The Lobster, and is played by Colin Farrel. The Lobster is set in a dystopian society where people have to get into a relationship within 45 days or they are transformed into an animal of their choice. We follow David throughout the film as he struggles to find someone to be with despite his quiet personality.

To dress like David, wear a black poncho with a green raincoat or a navy blue blazer, blue shirt, and navy striped tie.

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. She goes on an adventure to see the world with lawyer Duncan Wedderburn.

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.

Velma is one of the main characters from the 2002 film Scooby-Doo, and is played by Linda Cardellini. This movie is a live-action take on the original Scooby-Doo cartoons. It follows the classic group as they travel to Spooky Island to investigate paranormal incidents at a spring break spot.

Velma’s look follows the original cartoon very closely and brings it to life in a realistic way. To dress like Velma, wear an orange turtleneck sweater, a red skirt, tall orange socks, red wedge shoes, a brown bob wig and black framed glasses.

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.
