Carbon Costume

Wendy Mauri (voiced by Anaïs Delva) is one of the titular sisters from the French cartoon Les Sisters.  In her early teens, Wendy is more mature than her sister Marine and often looks out for her.  Wendy has long dark hair and wears a red shirt with a star graphic paired with a pair of light pink pants.  She finishes her look with a white belt cinched at her waist and a pair of red and white sneakers.  If you can’t find an exact match for her shirt, you can layer a similar red tee over a long-sleeved shirt instead, or add an iron-on decal if you’re up for a little DIY.

Rose DeWitt Bukater (played by Kate Winslet) is the aristocratic woman who falls in love with Jack Dawson and eventually takes his name in James Cameron’s film Titanic.  Rose comes from a wealthy family who falls on hard times after her father’s death, and is pressured to marry a wealthy man by her mother so they can maintain their lavish lifestyle.  Rose wears many incredible costumes throughout the film.  When she first boards the ill-fated titular ship, she dons a stylish pinstriped outfit with rich purple accents.  A replica dress is your best way to pull off this signature look.  You can add your own details to the base to achieve the full ensemble.  This includes a dark purple hat with a striped taffeta ribbon, which you can replicate yourself by adding a bow to a wool hat.  You’ll also need a white collared shirt, dark necktie, and gold pin.  Rose’s accessories include white leather gloves, purple drop earrings, and a purple parasol she uses as a cane.  A golf umbrella can do the trick for the latter, or you can forgo the accessory entirely.

Aubrey is a member of the friend group at the heart of the indie game OMORI.  Aubrey is cheerful but anxious, and has a falling out with Basil, Kel, Sunny, and Hero.  She eventually joins the delinquent gang known as the Hooligans, though she eventually reconciles with her friends.  In the real world, Aubrey has long pink hair she ties back with a teal scarf.  She wears a blue denim mini skirt, black crop top, and colorful shoes paired with a white and yellow jacket.  She also carries a bat with nails driven through it.  In Sunny’s dream world, Aubrey has long blue-purple hair with a bow hair clip and wears a light-colored nightgown.  She also carries a stuffed eggplant called Mr. Plantegg.

Kevin Levin (voiced by Charlie Schlatter) is a character in the Cartoon Network series Ben 10.  He is an Osmosian who is at first an enemy of Ben Tennyson, though the two eventually become allies. Kevin has several different looks throughout the series.  His Omniverse appearance is a little grungier and more tattered than others.  To make your costume, you’ll need to be willing to distress a black t-shirt and a green striped long-sleeved shirt to wear beneath it.  Use a brown eyeliner pencil to recreate the scar on Kevin’s chin and a black one to smudge around your eyes.  Finish the look with a black wig, distressed jeans, black and white shoes, a blue shoulder harness, and a padlock necklace.

Ms. Tarantula (voiced by Awkwafina) is a hacker who teams up with Mr. Wolf and the rest of his crew in The Bad Guys.  Ms. Tarantula is a spider with orange and darker, purple-ish colors along her body.  To make your own Ms. Tarantula costume, start with an orange bodysuit and wig.  You can add purple temporary hair color to the tips of the wig to get closer to her coloring from the movie.  Lastly, you’ll need a pullover hoodie and a pair of headphones.  Finding an exact match for her sweatshirt is tough, so you can either go with a hoodie that has similar colors, or make your own by purchasing a plain black pullover and adding the arm stripes and square 8-bit details to the front yourself with fabric paint.  For your legs, don a spider backpack in similar colors to match the rest of your costume.

Kel is Hero‘s younger brother in the indie RPG OMORI.  Competitive by nature, Kel can sometimes seem a little bratty.  He and Aubrey often bicker over small things, but he cares about her and his other friends deeply.  In the real world, Kel has brown hair and is very into sports.  You can add the design found on the front of his orange jersey with some white fabric paint, then add a pair of basketball shorts and sneakers, both in orange and white, to complete the look.  Kel’s dreamy outfit in HEADSPACE is a little more difficult to replicate because the multicolored checkered tank top is unique.  If you can’t find an exact match, look for tank tops with a soft ombre or pastel colors instead.  Pair it with a purple wig, dark shorts, and a beach ball to finish your costume.

Johnny Cade (played by Ralph Macchio) is a member of the greaser gang at the heart of The Outsiders.  Johnny is close with Ponyboy, the main character of the film and the narrator of the book upon which it is based.  They are the two youngest members of the gang.  Johnny has a slight build and dark hair, which he styles to fall over one side of his face.  Johnny has a scar on his left cheek from an altercation with the Socs.  To create your costume, you’ll need blue jeans, black and white sneakers, and a black wig.  Use a denim jacket to complete the look.  To replicate Johnny’s scar, you can use a wax scar kit and some foundation that matches your skin tone.  Lastly, Johnny begins carrying a switchblade after he’s attacked by the Socs, and a trick knife can play the part for you.

Rio Morales (voiced by Luna Lauren Velez) is the mother of Miles Morales in the animated film Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.  Rio works as a nurse and often plays the role of mediator between her husband Jefferson and their son.  Rio has curly brown hair that she prefers to wear in a loose side ponytail.  She also favors wearing gold hoop earrings, which can be seen in several of her outfits in the film.  When working, Rio wears a white long-sleeved shirt under a scrub shirt with burgundy scrub pants and white shoes.  She also wears a red flutter sleeve blouse, wide leg pants, and red wedge shoes that tie around her ankle.  At another point, she dons a green floral print shirt with a blue jacket.
