Carbon Costume

Joy Wang (played by Stephanie Hsu) is the daughter of Evelyn and Waymond in the A24 film Everything Everywhere All at Once.  Joy has a fairly strained relationship with her mother Evelyn; the two often butt heads over a variety of things, including Joy’s desire to introduce her girlfriend to her grandfather.  As originally introduced, Joy favors baggy clothes and has a penchant for comfortable flannel shirts.  Her costuming gets pretty wild, though, when she becomes Jobu Tupaki, an interdimensional villain Evelyn must stop from destroying every universe that exists.  As Jobu, Joy wears a multitude of colorful and unique ensembles.  It might not be possible to completely recreate any one of them in full, so don’t be afraid to go a little wild and interpret one of her looks to make your own.

Gregory Montague (Zak Orth) is a minor character in the 1996 Romeo and Juliet, directed by Baz Luhrmann. He is Romeo’s cousin, and a close friend of Sampson. As with the rest of the characters in this modernized retelling of Shakespeare, Gregory dresses in casual, beachy clothes with bright colors.

Greg Heffley is the protagonist and narrator of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books. He is a middle school student who isn’t really all that likable. Like any pre-teen, he doesn’t think before he acts. While he has some moments of caring and kindness, his paranoia often gets the better of him. His brothers are Rodrick and Manny, and his best friend is Rowley Jefferson. This costume guide shows you how to dress as Greg in the book and the live-action movie adaptation, where Zachary Gordon portrays the character.

Johnny Thunder is the main protagonist of LEGO Adventurers. Known also as Sam Grant or Joe Freeman, he is an Australian adventurer and passionate archeologist who travels with Dr. Kilroy and Pippin Reed. The three go around discovering treasures while outwitting bad guys. After finding these treasures, Johnny donates them to museums. His archenemy is Sam Sinister, steals instead. Johnny appears in multiple LEGO video games, Studios sets, and even the LEGO movie. This is his outfit in his appearances in the Egypt, Jungle, and Dino Island themes.

Waymond Wang (played by Ke Hyu Quan) is the husband of Evelyn and father of Joy in the A24 film Everything Everywhere All at Once.  Waymond (or, at least, a version of him) is the person who first alerts Evelyn to the existence of multiple universes and enlists her to help put a stop to Jobu Tupaki, the great evil threatening them all.  Waymond wears glasses when he is from the same universe as Evelyn, but takes them off when his other self jumps into his consciousness.  He wears a green striped shirt and cargo pants and has a fanny pack that he uses as a devasting weapon.

Wayne (played by Martin Henderson) is the producer behind The Farmer’s Daughters, the porn flick at the heart of Ti West’s Texas-based horror movie X.  Wayne is a standard southern cowboy, with long curly hair, a twang, and a white cowboy hat.  He is the older boyfriend of Maxine, who he left his previous wife for.  Wayne wears a pretty generic outfit with dark jeans and a white hat, but his costume also includes a gold watch, which speaks to his larger aspirations.  During the film, he also shows that he wears a pair of extremely revealing skivvies under his jeans, so if you’re going for authenticity, you may want to invest in a set of men’s white bikini underwear.

Maxine (played by Mia Goth) is an up-and-coming adult film star in Ti West’s X.  Maxine is a small-town girl with big dreams who follows her boyfriend to a secluded farm in Texas to shoot a porn movie with co-stars Bobby-Lynne and Jackson that is supposed to be her big break.  Things don’t go quite to plan, however, and Maxine and the others find themselves fighting for their lives instead of hitting it big.  Maxine has a very appropriately-70s look about her.  She begins the film wearing a striped tube top and shorts, while later changing into denim shortalls and boots, both of which are part of her film costume.  She also wears stark blue eye shadow and has freckles around her right eye and cheek, which you can mimic with a brown makeup pencil.

John Lennon is one of the singers and guitarists of The Beatles. He writes many of the band’s songs with Paul McCartney. His other band members include George Harrison and Ringo Starr. In 1968, they starred in the animated movie, Yellow Submarine. The plot revolves around the Fab Four defeating the Blue Meanies, and of course, riding in a yellow submarine. The aesthetic is very colorful and trippy. The band released an album under the same name featuring the songs in the movie. Iron on the pink flowers to the shirt and use the fabric paint for the lines down the pants.
