Carbon Costume

Pepa Madrigal (voiced by Carolina Gaitán) is a member of the magical Madrigal family in the Disney animated film Encanto.  The aunt of Mirabel, Isabela, and Luisa, Pepa possesses a magical power that allows her to control the weather.  Her husband, Félix, has no magical ability of his own, but his fun-loving attitude helps balance out his wife’s moods so her powers don’t get out of control.  It’s pretty easy to find Pepa’s dress made for a children’s costume, but if you’re looking to create her outfit as an adult, focus on finding dresses with similar colors and silhouettes like yellows and oranges with ruffles.

Clarence Francis “Kick” Buttowski (voiced by Charlie Schlatter) is the protagonist of the Disney Channel series Kick Buttowski: Suburban Daredevil.  Kick is a stubborn ten-year-old obsessed with becoming the world’s greatest daredevil stuntman.  Kick’s costume consists of a white jumpsuit and helmet with yellow booties and gloves.  If you’d like to add the red stripe to your jumpsuit, a little red fabric paint and a steady hand can get the job done, as long as you leave your costume enough time to dry.

John Booker Routledge, more often called John B (played by Chase Stokes), is the main protagonist of the Netflix series Outer Banks.  John is obsessed with discovering the secrets surrounding his father’s disappearance and is the charismatic leader of the Pogues, a close-knit group of friends from the south side of the Outer Banks.  You can certainly find several of John’s exact costume pieces, as long as you’re willing to pay for some of them.  But to recreate his vibe, you’ll want to focus on breathable fabrics perfect for a day at the beach.

Jevil is a portly imp and an antagonist in the game Deltarune.  In chapter 1 of the game, Jevil serves at the first bonus boss.  He is a Darkner and one of the holders of the Shadow Crystal.  Jevil has grey skin and wears a black and purple jester’s costume with a lime green collar and matching shoes.  With a purple tail and yellow teeth, he’s a truly peculiar-looking character.

Rookie (also known as the Junior Deputy) is the main character of the video game Far Cry 5.  A new recruit at the Hope County Sherriff’s department, Rookie is the first fully customizable character of the Far Cry series.  The general costume for Rookie consists of their Deputy uniform, with rugged jeans and a green work shirt paired with a stury belt.

Logan Roy (played by Brian Cox) is the overbearing patriarch at the heart of HBO’s Succession.  The CEO and founder of Waystar Royco, three of Logan’s children, Kendall, Roman, and Siobhan all vie for power within the family’s company.  Logan grew up in poverty in Scotland, but the clothing he wears now befits his status as a rich and powerful businessman.  Logan also often favors cozy sweaters, sometimes layering them with a blazer.

Captain Charlie is one of the three playable characters in Pikmin 3, alongside Brittany and Alph.  Captain Charlie has a brown mohawk and thin mustache, and wears a white suit with green details and matching gloves.  Taking a little time with a pair of white coveralls and shoe covers can really help personalize the look.  Use some green paint to create the green panel at the front of his suit, and even add green to the soles of the shoe covers.  Don’t forget to add his yellow star badge.  If you don’t want to grow a mustache like Captain Charlie’s, a brown eyebrow pencil can achieve a similar effect.

Holly Hale (played by Carmel Electra) is a character in the parody film Scary Movie 4.  Holly is blind, a parody of Ivy Elizabeth Walker from the M. Night Shyamalan film The Village.  Holly’s Amish-inspired costuming is much more overtly sexy than the real thing, so it might be difficult to find an exact match for her blue prairie dress.  But you can focus on matching the print, silhouette, or neckline if you can’t find one that meets all the requirements at once.  Pairing your dress with a wooden walking stick, short red wig, and a good sense of humor will top off the look.  If you’re more interested in recreating the sexy lingerie costuming Holly reveals in the film, a lace bodysuit can add a little extra coverage than the original.
