Carbon Costume

Elmer Fudd is an accident-prone hunter from the original Looney Tunes show.  He is an enemy of Bugs Bunny, determined to track down the rascally rodent during rabbit season, but ultimately, Bugs outsmarts him every time.  Elmer’s outfit has had some tweaks over the years, but his overall aesthetic remains the same:  a brown hunting outfit including a hat with red detailing, brown shoes, and a rifle perfect for taking down pesky rabbits.  To recreate his look, you can use some red fabric paint on the inside of your hat’s earflaps.

Belle Bottom (voiced by Taraji P. Henson) is the disco-themed supervillain in Minions: Rise of Gru.  Belle is a member of the Vicious 6, which a young Gru desperately wishes to be part of.  However, she dashes his dreams when she tells him that villainy is for adults and not children, which leads him to steal the Zodiac Stone from her.  Belle’s costume is a throwback to the ’70s, with a purple jumpsuit and platform shoes, a big afro hairstyle, and gold jewelry.  Finding her long purple leopard print coat with bright pink trim is almost impossible, so don’t be afraid to find a robe or coat that evokes a similar feel even if it isn’t a perfect match.

Henry (played by Lamar Johnson) is the older brother of Sam in HBO’s video game adaptation The Last of Us.  Henry informed on Kathleen‘s brother, the leader of the resistance, to Fedra in exchange for medicine for Sam.  When the brothers stumble on Joel and Ellie, the four make their way out of Kansas City together.  They don’t get far, though, before tragedy strikes.  Henry’s most distinctive piece of clothing is his red coat, which he wears over another darker-colored puffer jacket.  He also carries a brown rucksack with a clip-on flashlight and a silver pistol.

Veronica (played by Winona Ryder) is the main character of the high school-set dark comedy Heathers.  Veronica and JD were wreaking havoc on Westerburg High Schoo long before the film received the musical treatment.  Veronica wears a number of 80s-inspired outfits throughout the film.  Some of her most iconic include the tiered skirt and black crop top she wears in the woods before she realizes how dark JD’s plans truly are, the sweater and dress she dons at a convenience store, and her soot-stained outfit from the end of the film, which includes the same grey sweater she wears in the woods, a blue shirt, and checkered skirt.  No matter what outfit Veronica’s wearing, a pair of dark tights finish the look in true 80s fashion.

Miles Bron (played by Edward Norton) is the enigmatic billionaire at the heart of Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery. Miles invites all his closest friends to a remote island for a murder mystery game, only for things to get a little too real. Despite his affluent status, Miles is depicted as mostly wearing relatively simple clothing. He greets his guests, including estranged business partner Andi Brand and incredible sleuth Benoit Blanc, barefoot and wearing striped pajamas. At dinner, he dons a pair of khakis with a grey v-neck sweater and a pendant necklace which ties in to the murder mystery he’s devised for his guests.

Ally Dawson (played by Laura Marano) is one of the titular characters of the Disney Channel series Austin & Ally.  Ally is originally a very shy songwriter, but eventually, she gains the confidence to become a performer with some help from Austin Moon.  Ally sports many different outfits throughout the series, but you can’t go wrong with a short skirt, cute booties or wedges, and a flowy top.  To recreate the first of Ally’s looks, you’ll need a leather skirt with zipper detailing, grey peep toe booties, a black and white tank, and silver bracelets.  Her original appearance is more colorful, with a white denim vest, a pink cropped tank layered over a mint green camisole, and a blue tube skirt.  Mint green strappy shoes complete the look.

Claire Debella (played by Kathryn Hahn) is a liberal politician whose biggest donor is Miles Bron in Glass Onion:  A Knives Out Mystery. Claire has known Miles and the rest of the crew for many years, and remains loyal to Miles because of his immense contributions to her political campaign, even going so far as to lie about the beginnings of the company Miles founded with Andi Brand at the latter’s expense despite having concerns about some of his projects.  Claire wears hardly any color throughout the film, continuously opting for shades of beige and tan in her wardrobe, so much so that Miles even comments on it at one point.  To recreate her look from dinner, you’ll need a beige dress, blazer, and espadrille sandals.  Finding a sheath dress that matches may cost a bit more, since her chic look does come with a price tag.  But if you plan to leave the blazer on, you may be able to get away with a casual dress to wear underneath that’s a bit more budget friendly.

Lionel Toussaint (played by Leslie Odom, Jr.) is a high-ranking employee of Miles Bron‘s successful company in the film Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.  Lionel has reservations about Miles’ latest green energy initiative, which he shares with Claire Debella.  On the trek to Miles’ private island, Lionel wears brightly colored paints and a muted tunic with wooden beads.  For dinner, he wears a snazzy green suit with a wishbone brooch and black hat.
