Carbon Costume

Alice Angel (voiced in part by Alanna Linayre playing her original voice actress) is a character from Bendy and the Ink Machine.  The first female character created by her animation studio, Alice’s popularity was on par with other well-known characters including Bendy and Boris.  There are two ways to go about recreating Alice’s look, which will determine which supplies or accessories you may need.  If you choose to simply dress as her, you won’t have to worry about body paint and can choose a pair of sheer thigh-high stockings to pair with your black dress, gloves, and heels.  If you’re interested in going for the true black-and-white appearance of her original cartoon, you’ll need white body paint for your face, chest, and upper arms, and a pair of white tights.  Lastly, don’t forget your wavy black hair, white horn clips, and halo.  Use a makeup stick to add black pigment to your lips and draw on Alice’s beauty mark below her right eye.  For an extra bit of authenticity, a fabric marker can be used to add black circles to the palms of your gloves.

Helga Sinclair (voiced by Claudia Christian) is the secondary antagonist of the Disney animated feature Atlantis: The Lost Empire.  She serves as Preston Whitmore’s second-in-command on the expedition to Atlantis which assembles a crew including Milo Thatch and Audrey Ramirez to find the mythical city.  Helga has long blonde hair usually worn in a braid.  Throughout the film, she wears a few different outfits, though is mostly seen in a pair of olive green military-style pants and brown boots, as well as gloves, and wearing either a white tank top or black turtleneck.

Mia Winters (voiced by Katie O’Hagan) is a character in Resident Evil Village and Resident Evil 7: Biohazard.  The wife of Ethan and mother of Rosemary, Mia is a covert operative and caretaker for Eveline.  In Resident Evil 7, Mia wears a grey tank top with wide straps, dark jeans, and white sneakers.  Her hair is worn loose, parted to one side.

Carmelita Spats (played by Kitana Turnbull) is a spoiled bully at the Austere Academy in Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events.  Carmelita bullies the Baudelaires, including Klaus, for being orphans.  Carmelita has red hair worn in ringlets with pink bows.  Her wardrobe tends toward pink dresses with white tights and short heels.  To recreate her look, you’ll want to find a pink dress to build your costume around.  Any pink dress can work, though something that is frilly and high-collared will be best, since it will also give you a place to wear her signature brooch, which she eventually gives to Count Olaf.

Roxanne Ritchi (voiced by Tina Fey) is a Metro City reporter in the animated film Megamind.  Roxanne is the one-time rumored girlfriend of superhero Metro Man, and has been kidnapped by Megamind so often she is no longer afraid of him.  Roxanne has short brown hair and wears a white button-down blouse with a grey pencil skirt and black heels.  When it’s revealed her cameraman Hal Stewart has gone bad, Roxanne does all she can to stop him and protect Metro City.

El Tigre (voiced by Alanna Ubach) is the super alter ego of Manny Rivera on the Nickelodeon animated series El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera.  Manny’s transformation into El Tigre includes some pretty stark changes, including the addition of a tiger tail, ears, and sharpened claws.  To dress as El Tigre, you can layer boots, a belt, and a red bandana over a black bodysuit.  For some extra authenticity, you can also use scar wax to add the scar Manny has over his left eye.

The Empress of Light is a Hardmode boss from the Terraria video game.  She is encountered in the Hallow.  The Empress of Light has a beautiful, prismatic appearance, despite her vicious attack style.  To recreate her look, use golden yellow body paint on your face and neck to match the color of your bodysuit.  Then, you’ll pair it with a blue monokini or cut-out leotard, gloves, boots, and ruffles worn around your upper arms, as well as a pink wig and matching pink open-front skirt.  Finally, you’ll need a pair of elf ears (which you can make appear more yellow with the same body paint used on your face), a blue unicorn horn, and gold crown.  Finally, don’t forget your impressive multicolored wings.

Palutena (voiced by Ali Hillis in the English version of Kid Icarus) is the goddess worshipped by Pit.  Also a playable character in Super Smash Bros., Palutena is the Goddess of Light and the true ruler of Angel Land.  She supports Pit on his quest.  Palutena has long green hair and is depicted in her most recent form wearing a flowing, strapless white dress.  In order to achieve a similar look, you can wear a white dress as your base (you may even want to take a pair of scissors to add the leg slit on the left side) and wrap a red and cream patterned shawl around your hip, fastened with a red brooch.  You’ll also want to pay careful attention to your gold accessories, including a crown worn over your green wig, plenty of gold cuffs on your arms, and a brown double-wrapped belt.  Lastly, a white sock on your left leg and a pair of tall gladiator sandals can complete your look.
