Carbon Costume

Hayden Christensen appears in behind-the-scenes footage in the Darth Vader costume during the filming of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. Revenge of the Sith is Episode III and takes place three years into the Clone Wars, and we follow Anakin as he embraces the Dark Side. This look in particular would make such a fun and niche costume or cosplay that others may not think of, and dedicated fans might recognize.

The costume features the iconic Darth Vader costume, but without the helmet. Instead of the helmet, Hayden wears a black Nike sweatband on his head.

Lizzy is the protagonist in the film Showing Up, and is played by Michelle Williams. Lizzy is an introverted art student and a sculptor who is preparing for her exhibition as she struggles with finding balance with her creative work and everyday struggles, and the unexpected friend she finds in a pigeon she nurses back to health.

Lizzy’s costumes match her personality perfectly and are just like those of an art student. They feature very soft and muted colors, like her look with her canvas apron, blue shirt and khaki skirt. For her exhibition she dresses up more with a brown skirt and printed blouse. If you’re wearing this as a costume, taking a pigeon stuffed animal or prop and carrying it in a box could be a fun addition.

Anna Alcott wears a number of looks, all of which are sleek and put together with lots of comfortable pieces and coats, paired with dressier pieces. For one look we see on the cover wear a gray sweater maxi dress and pair it with a black dress/ waist belt. Another is one of her suit looks, this one consisting of modern and trendy shapes with the oversized brown blazer and loose-fitting brown pants. Lastly, a look with a pop of color is this one with a bright pink beanie, gray coat that ties at the waist, and black platform boots.

Angus, as well as the other characters, sticks to a pretty neutral color palette in his wardrobe. The textures and colors are very cozy and warm with lots of layers that gives us the feel of the cold season they’re in. Angus wears a brown puffer jacket with bootcut blue jeans, gray/ muted brown socks, and brown ankle boots. Another is a burnt orange wool sweater layered over a blue button down shirt.

Paul, as well as the other characters, sticks to a pretty neutral color palette in his wardrobe.

Hank dresses in the way you might expect a writer would, with a slightly 90s style. He wears lots of blazers and blue tones that he makes more casual with a pair of jeans or a t-shirt. To dress like Hank Moody, layer a brown or blue blazer with a blue shirt and a pair of narrow sunglasses.

He is the father of Harry Potter and marries to Lily Potter before they were murdered by Lord Voldemort.
