Carbon Costume

Poppy Starfield (voiced by Joey King) is a supporting character in Despicable Me 4.  An aspiring supervillain and fan of Gru‘s work, Poppy finds herself able to team up with her idol after they become neighbors.  Poppy has long, wild, red hair which she wears loose under an aviator cap with goggles.  Her outfit comprises a black and pink top and skirt over bike shorts.  She also wears a white belt, white fingerless gloves, and bright pink high tops.  If you can’t find an exact match for her jacket, look for one with similar colors and a full zip front.

Velma is one of the main characters from the 2002 film Scooby-Doo, and is played by Linda Cardellini. This movie is a live-action take on the original Scooby-Doo cartoons. It follows the classic group as they travel to Spooky Island to investigate paranormal incidents at a spring break spot.

Velma’s look follows the original cartoon very closely and brings it to life in a realistic way. To dress like Velma, wear an orange turtleneck sweater, a red skirt, tall orange socks, red wedge shoes, a brown bob wig and black framed glasses.

Maestro is a film directed by Bradley Cooper who also stars as the protagonist, Leonard Bernstein. The film is a biopic of Leonard Bernstein’s life and rise to fame as a successful conductor. Carey Mulligan in the film plays Felicia Montealegre, an actress and wife of Bernstein. We get to see her life alongside him as they grow old and face different struggles.

Earlier in the film, when Felicia is younger at a party, we see her wear an elegant outfit that features a light blue dress paired with 3 strands of pearls. Later she wears a recognizable look of a tweed blazer and skirt with a pink bow blouse.

The new trailer for the second Beetlejuice film released recently and is called Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, planned to release this fall of 2024. The film takes place in the future after the previous one we all know from 1988. Most of the cast is the same as the original, playing their original characters.

One of the characters returning is Lydia Deetz, played again by Winona Ryder. To dress like Lydia as we can see her in the trailer, wear a black coat over a maxi black skirt, black boots, and oversized black sunglasses. Add a black wig with bangs to create her iconic style with choppy bangs.

Yodana (voiced by Lisa Ng), more commonly referred to as Dana, is a character in the Wayside cartoon movie and TV series.  Dana is a strict rule follower, easily excitable, and a diligent student who wants the approval of her teacher Mrs. Jewls.  She is friends with Todd, Myron, and Maurecia.  Dana has purple hair parted in the middle and wears round-frame glasses.  She wears green and white sneakers with tall white socks and tan cargo shorts.  Her shirt is green striped and may be difficult to find an exact match for, so look for shirts with horizontal stripes in shades of green whose sleeves you can wear above your elbow.

The new trailer for the second Beetlejuice film released recently and is called Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, planned to release this fall of 2024. The film takes place in the future after the previous one we all know from 1988. Most of the cast is the same as the original, playing their original characters we all know and love. Although, there is one main character that is joining the bunch, played by Jenna Ortega. Her character is named Astrid Deetz. Although we aren’t exactly sure what her story is yet, we know Ortega will bring something new and exciting to the film based on her past performance as Wednesday. Both that series and this film have been directed by Tim Burton.

Astrid’s looks, based on what we can see in the trailer, fit the dark theme of the film and match the rest of the cast while maintaining her own personality. We see her riding a bike through the iconic town we recognize and she wears a striped sweater dress that has been distressed and has a gothic edge to it. When we see her in promo picks along with the rest of the cast who seem to be dressed for what looks to be a funeral, she wears a deep purple coat rather than a black one. In another scene she dresses even lighter, wearing a blue denim jacket with a floral dress. I can’t wait to see the transformation her wardrobe takes throughout the film.

Rizzo is one of the iconic characters from the 1978 musical film Grease, and is played by Stockard Channing. Grease follows the life of high school students in the 1950s, specifically the story of Sandy and Danny who had a romance over the summer before the school year. Rizzo is the fierce leader of the Pink Ladies: a group of girls in matching pink jackets that adopt Sandy into the team.

To dress like Rizzo, wear a black blouse, black pants, a black waist belt and a Pink Ladies jacket. Another is a purple polo blouse with a black pencil skirt.

Maddie is a character from the new rom-com film Irish Wish, and is played by Lindsay Lohan. Maddie finds herself in Ireland as she travels to attend her friend’s wedding. She makes a wish and wakes up as the bride-to-be.

Maddie’s wardrobe is a very fun and colorful one with lots of spring colors. To dress like Maddie wear a yellow knit sweater, a tweed dress with a green waist belt, or a multicolored plaid dress layered with a lighter wash blue denim jacket, cropped at the waist.
