Carbon Costume Movies
Robbie Hart
Robbie Hart wanted to be a rock star but life decided otherwise. Instead of ripped jeans and a leather jacket, he wound up donning a suit and tie as a professional wedding singer. Failed career or not, he was still able to get the girl and impress Billy Idol.
Holly Golightly
Audrey Hepburn plays one of her most iconic roles as Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Holly transforms herself from a country girl into a Manhattan socialite, who’s goal is to marry rich. You can complete her look by having breakfast in front of a Tiffany & Co. storefront.
The Girl in The Seven Year Itch
Marilyn Monroe plays The Girl in The Seven Year Itch, in which she’s the object of her neighbor’s fantasies. It’s in this movie that one of the most iconic images in film takes place – she stands over a subway grate which causes her dress to billow in the breeze.
Julie Grigio
In Warm Bodies, Julie Grigio (Teresa Palmer) is sent out from the zombie fort to find medical supplies. She’s promptly surrounded by zombies, but one of them named R rescues her. They gradually develop a love for each other, which makes R transform from the undead to the living. It’s just like in the old fairy tales.
R
In Warm Bodies, R (Nicholas Hoult) is not your typical zombie. He is able to communicate, granted with grunts and moans. He gets enjoyment from eating food, granted by devouring human brains and experiencing their memories. And he falls in love with the non-zombie Julie Grigio, granted after consuming her boyfriend.
Dr. Ian Malcolm
Dr. Ian Malcolm didn’t skimp on style when he arrived at Jurassic Park. Dressed in all black, the sarcastic mathematician could have easily gone from dinosaur safari to night club in seconds. A black leather jacket is an attractive part of this costume but if you really want to impress the ladies make sure you can explain chaos theory.
Michael Moore
Michael Moore is an American activist and filmmaker, most notable for making the documentaries Bowling for Columbine, Fahrenheit 9/11, and Sicko. While his films are certainly attention getting, you couldn’t say the same for his outfit, bullhorn notwithstanding.
L.B. “Jeff” Jeffries
In Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window, L.B. “Jeff” Jeffries (James Stewart) is a photographer who breaks his leg and is confined to his Greenwich Village apartment. To pass the time, he spies on his neighbors using his telephoto camera. It’s all in good fun until he glimpses what he believes to be a murder. For this costume, you’ll need to make your own a fake leg cast.
Madeleine Elster
In Vertigo, Madeleine Elster (played by Kim Novak) fears that she’s been possessed by her great grandmother who committed suicide. A retired detective is hired to secretly tail her and make sure she stays safe, but he doesn’t do such a great job when his fear of heights comes into play.
