Carbon Costume

The new trailer for the second Beetlejuice film released recently and is called Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, planned to release this fall of 2024. The film takes place in the future after the previous one we all know from 1988. Most of the cast is the same as the original, playing their original characters we all know and love. Although, there is one main character that is joining the bunch, played by Jenna Ortega. Her character is named Astrid Deetz. Although we aren’t exactly sure what her story is yet, we know Ortega will bring something new and exciting to the film based on her past performance as Wednesday. Both that series and this film have been directed by Tim Burton.

Astrid’s looks, based on what we can see in the trailer, fit the dark theme of the film and match the rest of the cast while maintaining her own personality. We see her riding a bike through the iconic town we recognize and she wears a striped sweater dress that has been distressed and has a gothic edge to it. When we see her in promo picks along with the rest of the cast who seem to be dressed for what looks to be a funeral, she wears a deep purple coat rather than a black one. In another scene she dresses even lighter, wearing a blue denim jacket with a floral dress. I can’t wait to see the transformation her wardrobe takes throughout the film.

Susie is a character from the Netflix series The Gentlemen, and is played by Kaya Scodelario. The series follows a man named Eddie who inherits his family’s estate, only to discover that it’s home to a drug empire. Susie is the woman behind the drug operation and leads Eddie into her world.

To dress like Susie in her bold, all-red velvet outfit, wear a red velvet blazer, red velvet shirt, a red waist belt, and red pants. Another look is a brown wool coat with a fur collar layered over a denim shirt with a navy sweater vest over that.

Rizzo is one of the iconic characters from the 1978 musical film Grease, and is played by Stockard Channing. Grease follows the life of high school students in the 1950s, specifically the story of Sandy and Danny who had a romance over the summer before the school year. Rizzo is the fierce leader of the Pink Ladies: a group of girls in matching pink jackets that adopt Sandy into the team.

To dress like Rizzo, wear a black blouse, black pants, a black waist belt and a Pink Ladies jacket. Another is a purple polo blouse with a black pencil skirt.

Maddie is a character from the new rom-com film Irish Wish, and is played by Lindsay Lohan. Maddie finds herself in Ireland as she travels to attend her friend’s wedding. She makes a wish and wakes up as the bride-to-be.

Maddie’s wardrobe is a very fun and colorful one with lots of spring colors. To dress like Maddie wear a yellow knit sweater, a tweed dress with a green waist belt, or a multicolored plaid dress layered with a lighter wash blue denim jacket, cropped at the waist.

Phoebe Bridgers is a popular singer-songwriter that is best known for her indie albums like Stranger in the Alps and Punisher. She is also known in her recently successful supergroup called Boygenius who just released their new album, The Record.

Motion Sickness is a song from her successful debut album Stranger in the Alps, released in 2017. In the video we follow her as she sings and rides a scooter through the street. This outfit is a great one to re-create and would be very recognizable to fans. To do so, wear a black blazer, black pants, a white button down shirt, a skinny black tie, black sunglasses, and a black skating helmet with fun puffy stickers added to it.

In the new comedy/horror film Dream Scenario directed by Kristoffer Borgli, Nicolas Cage plays a character named Paul Matthews. Paul’s life is suddenly changed when he begins to appear in millions of strangers dreams. He has to cope and navigate life with his newfound fame and recognition.

Paul Matthews is an average family man. He wears layers like his green puffer jacket with a fur hood, a brown half-zip sweater, and a blue shirt. He pairs this with his glasses, blue denim jeans, and brown boots, creating a layered and recognizable silhouette.

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.

The new 2023 biopic film Priscilla follows Priscilla Presley’s life and her relationship with Elvis Presley. The film is directed by Sofia Coppola and is an adaptation of Priscilla’s book Elvis and Me. In this film, Priscilla is played by Cailee Spaeny along side Jacob Elordi who plays Elvis Presley.

Elvis in this film has costume that are of course inspired by original ones that Elvis Presley wore at different points in his life. One costume features a mostly brown look with a brown tweed blazer, a brown knit sweater, and black wool pants. Another is his summer pool-side look with a black and white vertical striped shirt with navy shorts and a pair of classic orange tinted sunglasses with gold detail.
