Carbon Costume

Rita Malone (voiced by Kate Winslet) is an adventurous rat in the Dreamworks film Flushed Away.  The polar opposite of Roddy St. James, Rita is adventurous and brave, not afraid to take risks or speak her mind.  Rita has long red hair and wears a green sweater paired with pants printed with the UK flag.  To recreate the appearance of a rat, you may have to mix and match pieces from different accessory sets.  The most realistic way to get the look is to use a prosthetic nose with a little spirit gum to hold it in place.

Kronk (voiced by Patrick Warburton) is a supporting character in the Disney animated movie, Emperor’s New Groove, and the main character in its sequel, Kronk’s New Groove. He is Yzma’s bumbling yet loveable henchman. What Kronk lacks in brains, he makes up for in brawn — and culinary skills, as indicated by his homemade spinach puffs. Despite working for Yzma, he is a genuinely kind person. While this is an easy DIY costume, we provided a ready made option as well.

In Encanto, Félix (voiced by Mauro Castillo) is the fun-loving husband of Pepa Madrigal, which makes him the tío or uncle to Mirabel. Although he doesn’t have any magical gifts, Félix has a special ability to keep his wife’s emotions in check, which in turn keeps the weather of Colombia in check. You can use red satin ribbon to embellish down the shirt.

Bex Warren (played by Hari Nef) is one of the main characters in the satire film Assassination Nation.  Bex is best friends with Lily, Em, and Sarah.  As a transgender teen, Bex faces discrimination from some of her fellow students, which turns deadly after a hacker leaks important secrets about the residents of her hometown Salem.  One of Bex’s best looks from the film is the one she wears after the town descends into violence, which includes a red leather jacket that matches her friends’.  She also dons cropped black jeans and a multicolor striped crop top.  Finding an exact match for the top might not be possible, so don’t be afraid to focus on either similar colors or vertical stripes if you can’t get both in the same piece.  Similarly, a plain red trench coat can be substituted for an exact match, which might be kinder to your costume budget.

In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Dudley Dursley (Harry Melling) and his gang torment his cousin Harry Potter on the playground.

Draco Malfoy (Tom Felton) is the antagonist of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. He is the son of pureblood wizards Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy, and a first-year student at Hogwarts. The Sorting Hat places him in Slytherin. Draco bullies Ron and Hermione, thinking himself better than them. He extends friendship to Harry Potter, who declines, for he doesn’t like his pompous arrogance. This begins their well-known rivalry. In contrast to his power-hungry cruelty, Draco is actually quite a coward, as he’s known to whine: “Wait until my father hears about this!” Use hair gel to slick the wig or your own back.
