Carbon Costume

Tyler Nguyen-Baker (voiced by Tristan Allerick Chen) is a supporting character in the animated Disney film Turning Red.  Tyler begins as a bit of a bully to Mei, Miriam, Abby, and Priya, but as a fellow fan of 4*Town, he eventually becomes a member of their friend group.  Tyler’s costume is very basketball-inspired, including a jersey layered over a white t-shirt, sweatband, and high-top sneakers.  His clothes revolve around a purple, pink, and grey color scheme, but finding clothing in all these colors at once may not be possible, so don’t be afraid to focus on one or two and build a look that is close in appearance, even if it’s not a perfect recreation.

Yasmina Fadoula (voiced by Kausar Mohammed) is a main character in the Netflix animated series Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous.  Along with fellow campers like Brooklynn, Yasmina must navigate the island of Isla Nubar after the escape of several dinosaur species from their containment.  Yasmina is a dedicated track athlete with multiple medals who was sponsored by the Jurassic World theme park.  She has long brown hair worn in a ponytail and dresses in athletic wear in a purple and grey palette, including a track jacket and sneakers.  To create the look of her multi-colored shorts, you can layer a light purple tank top under your jacket and then wear light grey shorts with a longer inseam under a darker pair.

Priya Mangal is a main character in the Pixar movie Turning Red.  Priya is the most mellow of her group of friends, which includes Mei Lee, Abby Park, and Miriam Mendelsohn.  Priya is a big fan of the macabre, first introduced reading a vampire romance novel.  Priya has round glasses and a nose piercing and is depicted in a yellow striped shirt and brown pants.

Flint is the lead protagonist in Mother 3.  The father of Lucas and Claus, Flint sets off on a mission to seek revenge for his wife’s death.  Flint’s costume is inspired by stereotypical cowboy attire, including a brown cowboy hat and red bandana.  To really take it to the next level, you can either grow an impressive mustache and mutton chops or purchase prosthetic ones.

Sam Manson (voiced by Grey DeLisle) is the best friend and eventual girlfriend of Danny Fenton on the Nickelodeon animated show Danny Phantom.  Sam is a self-proclaimed goth and ultra-recyclo-vegetarian obsessed with the macabre.  As such, her usual attire is very edgy.  When she attends a school dance, however, she manages to look the part without giving up her signature goth look.  To recreate her dance outfit, you’ll need to get a little creative with layering different pieces.  Start with a tube top in a purple hue and then add a fishnet long-sleeved shirt over it before putting on your black corset. You may have to be willing to sacrifice parts of the mesh in order to cut the fishnet shirt to fit under your corset so it doesn’t stick out.  You’ll finish the look with a purple skirt, which you can add glitter to if you’d like, a black wig, and purple makeup.

Miriam Mendelsohn (voiced by Ava Morse) is one of Mei Lee’s best friends in the film Turning Red.  Miriam is a caring and loyal friend with a laidback attitude.  Along with Abby Park and Priya Mangal, Miriam helps Mei navigate her newly upturned life after she begins transforming into a red panda.  Miriam is a bit of a tomboy and wears clothes that would make any skater feel comfortable. She dons shades of green in nearly every aspect of her clothing, from her beanie to her flannel and accessories.

Dr. Arthur Watts (voiced by Christopher Sabat in English) is an antagonist introduced during Volume 4 of the animated series RWBY.  Dr. Watts is a disgraced former scientist who initially faked his own death before reappearing.  His colleagues include Cinder Fall, the current Fall Maiden, and Tyrian Callows.  Dr. Watts is middle-aged, with the greying hair to prove it.  He sports a full mustache and wears a grey suit with burgundy accessories and a golden-yellow shirt.  Finding an exact match for his tailcoat is tricky, so don’t be afraid to be interpretive; a plain grey suit with the right accessories will do just fine, or you could opt for a stand collar blazer instead to get a little closer to his look on the show.

Huang Lee is the main protagonist of Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars.  The spoiled son of a Triad leader, Huang finds himself embroiled in a mystery as he tries to recover a stolen family heirloom and unearth the person responsible for his father’s murder.  Huang has short-cropped hair and some scattered facial hair including a soul patch, which you can mimic with a little eyebrow pencil if you aren’t interested in growing your own.  He wears blue jeans, green sneakers, and a white t-shirt.  Though the red button-down he wears unbuttoned is sometimes mistaken for the lining of his jacket, it’s actually a separate piece.
