Carbon Costume Movies
Nancy Callahan from Sin City
Nancy Callahan played by Jessica Alba was abducted as an 11 year old girl and miraculously saved by John Hartigan. That night John was framed for the abduction of Nancy and for years she wrote him letters in jail. Years have passed and Nancy has grown up. She is now a Stripper at Kadie’s Club. This Nancy costume is a bit of a casual rendition. You can take parts and pieces from the lingerie set. Use the bra, cuffs, and use the garter as a belt over the leggings. The bullet belt can be wrapped lower on the hips. Nancy has basic makeup on with glossy lips.
Peter Whitman from The Darjeeling Limited
Peter Whitman, played by Adrien Brody, is the middle child of the three brothers in Darjeeling Limited. Peter likes to hoard their deceased father’s belongings claiming to be their father’s favorite son as opposed to Jack and Francis. He doesn’t want his brothers meddling in his life and isolates from both of them for over a year since their father’s funeral. He even hides that his wife is pregnant from them. Jack wears a light gray suit and brown accessories. The vintage sunglasses were his father’s.
Wanda Maximoff in Avengers: Infinity War
Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) evolved so much over her arc within the MCU. She went from a jaded villain to a hero struggling to do what was right while trying to find herself at the same time. Her most iconic battlefield look was in Avengers: Infinity War when she faced off against Thanos’ forces and held her own against impossible odds. You can add your own mix of unique silver rings to the costume, but the red leather coat and corset paired with the tight black pants and heeled boots truly make this look.
Steve Rogers in Captain America: Civil War
Steve Rogers is best known as Captain America (Chris Evans), the first Avenger. But in Civil War, he breaks away from the rest of the team and takes a few allies with him. He spends much of the movie out of his uniform and in this casual but iconic look. A little hair gel keeps his hair in place while all the brown leather makes it clear he’s nobody to mess with, even without his shield.
Bucky Barnes in Captain America: Civil War
In Captain America: Civil War, Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan) was abducted and brainwashed by Hydra. For the last 70 years, he has been their mindless killing machine as the Winter Soldier, but now he’s free and finding himself again. While on the run, he stops in Romania and tries to make a normal life for himself. This includes wearing gloves to hide his prosthetic left hand and shopping for plums at the local farmer’s market. He wears layers in case he has to take off again, though the red Henley in this costume is his most iconic look from the movie. Grab your own bag of plums and stock your backpack with notebooks and candy bars for even more in-character costume details!
Graverobber from Repo! The Genetic Opera
Graverobber (Terrance Zdunich) is the resident Zydrate peddler and smirking narrator of Repo! The Genetic Opera. The world he lives in is a rough one, so the V in the neck of his overshirt will have to be cut a little lower. And he wears a thin blue scarf around his neck made from the torn hem of his undershirt. He also has pale skin and long hair streaked with a few different colors. He usually has Zydrate on him, but those little blue vials are awfully hard to come by.
Hans Gruber from Die Hard
In the classic action movie Die Hard, Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman) is a German terrorist who takes over Nakatomi Tower in Los Angeles with his crew in order to steal hundreds of millions of dollars in bearer bonds. Gruber’s plans are foiled by NYPD detective John McClane who is attending a holiday party in an attempt to repair his relationship with his estranged wife. Hans wears a dark suit, shows off an impressive American accent, and communicates with his team (and McClane) with walkie talkies thorughout the film.
Agatha from The Grand Budapest Hotel

She and Zero help Gustave escape from prison by hiding tools in the baked goods that she makes for him. Agatha wears a khaki colored dress with light blue apron while she creates her delicate confections.
Carol Danvers from Captain Marvel
Carol Danvers (Brie Larson) is the human-Kree hybrid superhero known as Captain Marvel. She was a US Air Force test pilot before exposure to alien technology changed her DNA. Now she is a powerful superhero with a strong will, a confident personality, and a great sense of fashion. This movie-inspired look taps into ’90s grunge with a white Nine Inch Nails t-shirt, high waited jeans, and some great leather accessories.
John Ambrose McClaren from To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before 2
John Ambrose McClaren (played by Jordan Fisher) is Lara Jean Covey’s newest love interest in To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before: P.S. I Still Love You.
