Carbon Costume

…actually, we usually just call him Clint Eastwood, but either way – Sergio Leonne’s gunslinging, poncho-wearing anti-hero from the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly is one stylish m’f-er.

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.

Johnny Castle (Patrick Swayze) is a dance instructor who pairs up with Baby in Dirty Dancing. He teaches her how to dance and how to have confidence in herself because like he says, “nobody puts Baby in the corner.”

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.

In Flashdance, Alex Owens (Jennifer Beals) is a steel welder by day and an exotic dancer by night, who aspires to become a professional dancer. Her outfit is easy enough to copy with a pair of scissors and an oversized sweatshirt but her dance moves will take a bit more effort to duplicate.

In One Hour Photo, Seymour “Sy” Parrish (Robin Williams) is a photo technician at SavMart. His has little to speak of outside of work, but works hard to do a good job. He fantasizes about the happiness and affection he sees in the photos, to the point that it starts creeping out his customers.

In The Matrix, Neo (Keanu Reeves) is a computer programmer by day and a hacker by night. After he encounters another hacker named Trinity, he soon goes down the rabbit hole, with Agent Smith in hot pursuit.
