Carbon Costume

Cal Naughton Jr is a character from the comedy film Talladega Nights and is played by John C Reilly. Talladega Nights follows NASCAR star Ricky Bobby at the height of his success, until another champion Jean Girard is in the picture and causes Ricky to lose it all.

Ricky Bobby’s iconic costume is his racing uniform that features the Old Spice logo as the sponsor on the hat and shirt. Wear the jacket, pants, and hat as the main costume. To go even further, add black racing shoes, a fake mustache, and black sunglasses.

Lisa Frankenstein (Kathryn Newton) is a new 80s style horror/comedy film by Zelda Williams. Set in 1989, the film follows a teenager named Lisa in high school who has a new crush that turns out to be an reanimated corpse.

Lisa’s style is one that has lots of layers and is oh-so-80s. To dress like Lisa, wear a black sheer dotted shirt with a corset style tank top layered on top, and layered over that is a bolero sleeve top. Pair with a black tulle skirt with a wide black waist belt. Under that wear black tights, black fishnet tights or layer both with black combat boots. She also wears a headband that features a large black bow, black sunglasses, small silver hoop earrings, and finally a red lipstick and nail polish.

Janis is a character from the new 2024 musical movie Mean Girls, and is played by Auli’i Cravalho. This new film is based on the Mean Girls musical, a live broadway show that follows the story of the 2004 film Mean Girls, that we all know starring Lindsay Lohan and Rachel McAdams. Janis is friends with Cady and Damian. She’s known for her alternative and edgy style.

Janis’ costume, like the others in this new take on the story follow current trends. The way to recreate her look is wearing a green graphic tee, a sheer black shirt layered underneath, a black and white checkered belt, jean/ belt loop chain accessories, and blue eyeshadow. A black loose knitted top is also another layering piece that really brings together her punk style.

Julie is the main character in the film The Worst Person in the World, and is played by Renate Reinsve. The film follows Julie for four years as she navigates life and love. She has a very simple, realistic but flattering wardrobe that can be easily recreated.

One look is a white jumpsuit that is short sleeved, and wraps in the front. Another is a simple and timeless black satin dress that has a straight neck that drapes at the front and spaghetti straps. And finally, the one we see on the cover in the impressive running scene is a navy blue button down shirt, khaki shorts, and white sneakers with red and blue detail.

Lily Potter is a character from the Harry Potter book and movie series, where she is played by Geraldine Somerville. She is the mother of Harry Potter and marries to James Potter before they were murdered by Lord Voldemort. Lily was also a student at Hogwarts and was a Muggle-Born Witch.Lily Potter appears rarely in the film series but we do get to see her very young and then as a mother.

To dress like Lily as we see her appear in the films, wear a black peacoat that ties at the waist, a black cap, gray fingerless gloves, a gray scarf, and black lace-up boots.

Allison is the main character in the film A Good Person by Zach Braff, and is played by Florence Pugh. A Good Person is a charming but emotional film that tackles topics like addiction and grief.

Allison has a unique and bright style in the film. The costumes in this are not those of a typical movie about a struggling or depressed person. Her wardrobe is bright with fun patterns because they are what she owned previous to beginning her journey through addition and recovery, which is a much more realistic take. Although, the way she styles them is what shows her decline and state of mind. Some looks and pieces you can replicate in your own wardrobe is one like this bright gold and floral satin robe paired with navy and white printed leggings, a cozy oversized sweater with a diamond/ argyle type print paired with green leggings, and earlier in the film she wears this fun dusty rose-pink corduroy cap.

Saltburn is a new film by Emerald Fennel that follows Oliver Quick as he stays in his rich classmate Felix’s estate, and a series of horrifying events occur. Pamela is a friend of Felix’s mother Elspeth and is at Saltburn in the beginning of the film when Oliver arrives, and is played by Carey Mulligan.

Although we only see a short glimpse of Pamela’s style, it’s one that leaves a strong and memorable impression. She has blunt bangs, heavy makeup, lots of pearls and English-inspired jewelry pieces. To recreate some of her looks, wear a black knitted sleeve top over a black dress. Another is a black dress on which you can sew on small pearls to resemble buttons down the front, wear a ruffled Dickey collar underneath, lots of pearl bracelets and a ginger wig that could be styled like Pamela’s with short cut bangs.

King Magnifico (voiced by Chris Pine) is the selfish ruler of the Kingdom of Rosas in the Disney animated film Wish.  King Magnifico siphons magic from the wishes of his people, though he only grants those wishes that benefit his rule.  When Asha makes a wish that brings a star down from the sky, King Magnifico declares her a traitor to the Kingdom.  King Magnifico wears a cream-colored regal outfit with a white tunic, a white cape with blue lining, and a pale blue sash.  You can purchase a costume set or build your own by layering two capes together over a vintage coat held closed with a blue sash.  Whether you make your own costume or buy a set, you’ll also need white leggings, shoes, and a costume facial hair set that includes a grey mustache and pointed goatee.
