Carbon Costume Movies
Jackson from X
Jackson (played by Kid Cudi) is the male lead in The Farmer’s Daughters, the porn movie at the heart of Ti West’s horror film X. Jackson is a Vietnam War veteran who heads to a secluded Texas farm to make an adult film along with fellow actors Bobby-Lynne and Maxine. Jackson served as a Marine and still wears his dog tags. When trying to recreate his look from the film, there are a few ways you can choose to go about it. By focusing more on the colors used (a pale yellow shirt and light blue suit), you may have more options available to you. You could also go for a men’s disco costume in a similar color. And if you’re really committed to portraying Jackson perfectly, and are willing to shell out to do so, you might even find a vintage leisure suit in a matching color.
Bobby-Lynne from X
Bobby-Lynne (played by Brittany Snow) is the confident blonde co-star of Maxine and Jackson in the horror film X. She is a confident, sexually liberated woman who heads to a secluded Texas farm to make an adult film called The Farmer’s Daughters. Bobby-Lynne proves she’s fashionable with her bleach-blonde hair and yellow eye shadow. Before she changes into her farmer’s daughter costume, she wears a bright-colored romper and platform sandals. Finding an exact match for the costume can be tough, so don’t be afraid to be interpretive. You can use any orange romper paired with the right accessories. Or, if you’re a fan of the draping of Bobby-Lynne’s, a halter tank layered over a pair of shorts in a matching shade can also do the trick.
Wedding Princess Tiana
Princess Tiana (Anika Noni Rose) is the protagonist of the Disney animated movie, The Princess and the Frog. She works as a waitress with big dreams of opening her own restaurant to serve her homemade beignets and gumbo.

After outsmarting Dr. Facilier, they marry and become human again, for they realize they are what each other needed to become their best selves. Tiana makes history as the first Black Disney princess, and her story will continue in an upcoming self-titled Disney+ series. Her wedding dress is inspired by the bayou with its green color palette and lilypad elements.
Ringo Starr from Yellow Submarine
Ringo Starr is the drummer of The Beatles. His real name is Richard Starkey, though he’s called Ringo for the many rings he wears on his fingers. His band members include Paul, John, and George.

The aesthetic is very colorful and trippy. The band released an album under the same name featuring the songs in the movie. Use the fabric paint for the lines down the pants.
