Carbon Costume

Lily Colson (played by Odessa Young) is a main character in the satire film Assassination Nation.  Lily and her three best friends, Bex, Em, and Sarah are all high school seniors.  When a hacker begins leaking private information about Lily and others in her hometown of Salem, the residents descend into violence.  Lily is a pretty teenager with a rebellious side.  She is often seen wearing her pink Vans Sk8-Hi shoes.  However, it can be almost impossible to find an exact match, so go for a pair of high-tops in a similar shade of pink.  Likewise, the red jackets the girls wear after the hack takes place can be expensive to track down, but a plain red trench coat can get the point across just as well.

Wilson Fisk, better known by his villain moniker Kingpin, has gone through many different iterations on both page and screen.  In the Marvel Puzzle Quest video game, Kingpin is the premier crime lord in New York City.  He has been the leader of both the Maggia and the Hand, and he has no qualms about sacrificing his subordinates if it means gaining the upper hand in a fight.  This version of Kingpin has him wearing a dapper-looking suit with a purple cravat and grey trench coat with matching purple lining.  His cane includes a diamond-like gem on the top.  When choosing a coat, you’ll likely want to focus on either the correct shade of light grey or the lining, as finding both in tandem can be difficult.  Either way, make sure if you aren’t ready to bic your head you take time to get your bald cap right to really pull off the look.

Old Coot (voiced by Ryan Miller) is the main character in The Old Coot Show, a YouTube show that follows Old Coot and his son on a series of brief wacky adventures.  To recreate this simple look, you’ll want to flesh-colored zentai suit to evoke the eyeless design of the character, as well as a grey beard to wear over that.  You can forgo the cross and rope accessories that come with the brown monk’s robe, leaving you with just the hooded cloak necessary for the costume.

Makoto Kino (voiced by Emi Shinohara and Amanda Céline Miller) is a Sailor Guardian in the anime and manga series Sailor Moon.  Known as Sailor Jupiter when in her Sailor form, Makoto is an orphan, having lost her parents in a plane crash.  She is tomboyish and loves cooking.  Makoto has long brown hair that she wears in a ponytail.  Her school uniform consists of a khaki skirt and matching blouse.  Finding an exact match can be tough, but you can recreate the look with a similarly colored sailor sweatshirt (though you may want to pin the rabbit ears on the hood out of sight).  When fighting evil by moonlight with Sailor Moon and the rest of the Guardians, Sailor Jupiter’s costume is dark green with matching boots.  In both her civilian and Sailor forms, she wears pink rosebud earrings and a green hair tie in her hair.

V (voiced by Cherami Li when female) is the main character in the RPG game Cyberpunk 2077.  V is a fully customizable character and the decisions you make about V’s appearance and other attributes can all impact the story.  The female V has an asymmetrical haircut and wears a bomber jacket with moto-inspired pants.  If you don’t want to shell out for a replica jacket, you can recreate the look with a brown bomber jacket by adding light strips to the inside of the collar.

Colonel Adrian Shephard is the main protagonist of the video game Half-Life: Opposing Force.  Colonel Shephard is a member of the United States Marine Corps sent to Black Mesa Research Facility to help eliminate alien invaders.  Shephard wears white camo with a green tactical vest, camouflage helmet, and a gas mask.  To recreate his mask, you can use some window tint film to update a cosplay mask with clear lenses, which is much easier to find.

Weird Girl (voiced by Catherine O’Hara) is a character in Tim Burton’s stop-animation film Frankenweenie.  Weird Girl is a classmate of Victor Frankenstein.  Weird Girl has long hair with bangs and wears a floral-printed dress.  To recreate her costume, you can use either a white or grey dress, depending on your preference, and add the black flowers with fabric paint.  Some light grey body paint can help give you a ghoulish appearance to match.

Rachel T. McKenzie (voiced by Rachael MacFarlane), better known as Numbuh 362 is a recurring character on the Cartoon Network series Codename: Kids Next Door.  As the Supreme Leader of the KND organization, Numbuh 362 is serious but fair, always concerned for the well-being of the operatives under her command before she retires and Numbuh 5 takes over at Supreme Leader.  Numbuh 362 has blonde hair and wears a colander with two blue sabers and an orange decal with her designated number on it as a hat.  Her uniform consists of a teal jumpsuit and orange sweater, with grey sandals.  To recreate Numbuh 362’s hat, cut craft foam pieces to look like her number plate and sabers before gluing them to a grey colander.  A tiger stripe sweatshirt or plain orange pullover can help evoke her costume look depending on your preference.
