Carbon Costume

Asbel (voiced by Yoji Matsuda and Shia LaBeouf) is a main character in the anime feature film Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind.  Asbel meets the titular princess Nausicaä after his city is attacked.  Asbel has dark brown hair and wears very muted colors.  To recreate his look from the film, you’ll need brown shoes, beige pants, and a tan shirt.  He wears a brown pilot’s cap and a brown belt.  Asbel also dons a darker jacket and brown gloves as well as cream colored scarf which he wraps around his mouth to protect himself from the toxic air.

Jane Henderson (played by Nastassja Kinski) is the wife of Travis Henderson in the film Paris, Texas.  Travis reappears after four years missing and sets out to find Jane with their young son.  They discover Jane in Houston, where she works at a peep show.  Her most iconic costume from the film is by far the hot pink sweater she dons during her first interaction with Travis.  It’s hard to find an exact match for her low-back hot pink fuzzy sweater, but there are many sweater dresses that offer similar silhouettes or textures.  Wearing a low-neck dress backward can help imitate the cut of Jane’s sweater from the film.  Complete the look with hot pink lips and shoes to match, as well as black stockings and a short blond wig.

Vanny (voiced by Heather Masters) is the primary antagonist of the video game Five Nights at Freddy’s: Security Breach.  She is a follower of Glitchtrap and it is heavily implied that she is Vanessa under Glitchtrap’s control.  Vanny has two appearances in the game.  Primarily, Vanny wears a stitched-together rabbit costume with a tartan patch on her left hip and a blue bow at her throat.  Her rabbit mask has menacing red eyes.  You can recreate this look with a replica mask and bodysuit and add bunny foot-shaped slippers if you want.  Alternately, you can embellish a plain white bodysuit with fabric markers to get a little closer to her look in the game, just don’t forget to purchase a bow tie, too.  Vanny also appears in a sidescrolling game called Security Breach: Fury’s Rage where her appearance is a bit different.  For this look, you’ll need grey leggings, white bike shorts, and a grey tank top layered beneath a black belt worn low on your hips and a furry vest.  Finish your costume with white knee-high boots, black arm bands, white fingerless gloves, and a creepy rabbit mask.

Sandy Cheeks (voiced by Carolyn Lawrence) is a squirrel who lives underwater in the cartoon series SpongeBob SquarePants.  Sandy is a scientist who created her underwater suit and air dome so she can survive in Bikini Bottom.  She is close friends with both SpongeBob and Patrick Star.  In order to survive underwater, Sandy must wear a special suit so she can breathe.  The suit is white with grey boots and includes a domed helmet.  To recreate her look, you can dress mostly as an astronaut and then add a pair of animal ears and a squirrel tail.  Put a pink flower decal on your helmet to finish the costume.  If you’re looking for something a little easier to move in, you could also dress the way Sandy does in her air dome.  Just add a purple ruffle skirt and strapless top over a squirrel onesie for a fun twist on her appearance from the show.

Tyler (portrayed by C. Thomas Howell) is a friend of Elliott‘s older brother Mike in Stephen Spielberg’s 1980s classic E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.  Tyler is at first a bit dismissive of E.T. and Elliott, but eventually helps them both escape authorities so E.T. can go home.  Tyler has wavy brown hair and wears light-wash jeans, a red t-shirt, black and white shoes, and a grey bomber jacket during the bicycle chase portion of the film.

Nausicaä (voiced by Sumi Shimamoto and Alison Lohman) is the titular protagonist of the Studio Ghibli film Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind.  Nausicaä is a princess who finds herself embroiled in war in a world of ecological disaster alongside Asbel.  Nausicaä has short red hair and wears primarily blue.  To recreate her look, you’ll need beige pants, brown shoes, blue leg warmers and gloves, and red teardrop earrings.  You can purchase a cosplay set that includes a hat, jacket, and belt, or assemble your own with pieces that look similar.  Her filtration mask can be difficult to find unless you are willing to pay a lot or make your own from scratch.  However, you can craft a reasonable facsimile with a respirator mask, dog ear headband, paint, and glue.  Cut the ears from the headband and glue them to the sides of the mask, using the wire inside to shape them accordingly.  Then, spray paint the entire thing brown.  Just make sure you leave yourself enough time for it to dry!

Momoko Akatsutsumi (voiced by Emiri Katou and Nicole Bouma) is the self-proclaimed leader of PowerPuff Girls Z in the anime series Demashita! Powerpuff Girls Z.  Momoko’s alter ego is Hyper Blossom.  She has bangs and long hair that she wears in a high ponytail with a pink bow.  Her Hyper Blossom costume is mostly pink.  You can recreate her look with a pink dress or a skirt and blouse if you can’t find a dress that fits your needs.  If you’d like to add the navy details to the neck and hemline, use duct tape.  You’ll need to remove the sleeves from a pale pink and white letterman jacket; you can add the “P” by using iron-on letters.  Accessorize your costume with fingerless gloves, pink and white wristbands, a choker necklace, and earrings.  Lastly, don a pair of pink and white high tops and a white belt slung low on your hips.

Petey Piranha (voiced by Toru Minegishi in his original appearance) is a boss from the Super Mario Bros. video game franchise.  Originally appearing in Super Mario Sunshine, Petey is a carnivorous plant who is set apart from the other piranha plants in the games by his sheer size and additional abilities.  He is a frequent nemesis of Mario and Luigi.  To recreate this funky plant costume, you’ll want to start with a green full-coverage bodysuit.  Then, don a pair of a pair of polka-dot briefs and a piranha plant mask.  For an extra touch, consider adding a floral headband to your costume to finish the look.
