Carbon Costume

Nicki Minaj is a songwriter and rapper known as much for her bubblegum outfits and music videos as her chart-topping singles.

In Red Riding Hood, Valerie (Amanda Seyfried) lives in a village that’s being terrorized by a werewolf. You’d think she’d wear something more low key than a bright red cape.

MacGruber (Will Forte) is the son of the famed MacGyver. Like his father, he often finds himself trapped in a control room with a ticking time bomb. Unlike his father, he brings his troubled home life with him to work.

In Alice, Sweet Alice, a person in a translucent mask and yellow raincoat kills Karen Spages (Brooke Shields) on her day of First Communion. All eyes turn to her older sister Alice (Paula Sheppard), who has a jealous streak and has the same yellow coat.

In Sucker Punch, Sweet Pea (Abbie Cornish) is Rocket’s older sister and the star of the dance show. Her unique costume has been described as a something of a cross between a nun and an avenging angel.

Doug Heffernan (Kevin James) is the King of Queens, a delivery driver for the International Parcel Service — absolutely no relation to the UPS. His delivery routes get him around, making cameos on Everybody Loves Raymond, Becker, and Cosby.

Shrek (voiced by Mike Myers) is an ogre who prides himself on being big, green, and terrifying. He embarks on a quest to save Princess Fiona, and they fall in love despite their differences. For this costume, the vest will need tweaking to get the same cropped look.

On Saturday Night Live, Hans and Franz (Dana Carvey and Kevin Nealon) are a pair of Austrian bodybuilders who flex their muscles for skinny “girlie men” and teach how to “pump you up”. Any resemblance to Arnold Schwarzenegger is strictly coincidental.
