Carbon Costume

The Blissfield Butcher (played by Vince Vaughn) is the terrifying serial killer behind the supernatural body swap film Freaky.  When Barney Garris attempts to murder high school student Millie Kessler with an ancient dagger known as La Dola, he inadvertently trades their personalities and they wake up in one another’s bodies.  The Blissfield Butcher’s costuming is simple, but it can be hard to track down a similar mask, since no official merch has been released for the film, yet.  You can use a generic-looking oval mask and paint it if you’re feeling especially crafty.

Wilbur Robinson (voiced by Wesley Singerman) is one of the main characters of the Disney animated film Meet the Robinsons.  Wilbur travels through time alongside Lewis as they embark on the adventure of a lifetime.  Wilbur wears dark jeans and a blue t-shirt with a yellow design on the front.  If you can’t style your hair to emulate his, a wig can always do the trick for you.

In The Big Lebowski, Philip Seymour Hoffman plays Brandt, Jeffrey Lebowski’s personal assistant.  Brandt is often tasked with delivering important messages for Lebowski and is the go-between for him and the Dude as they attempt to smooth out the misunderstanding that propels the film forward.  Brandt wears classic grey suits and geometric-patterned ties that were extremely popular in the 1990s.

In 10 Cloverfield Lane, Emmett DeWitt (played by John Gallagher, Jr.) was hired prior to the events of the film by Howard to help him build an underground bunker on his property.  When Emmett witnesses a dangerous otherworldly event, he goes immediately to the one place he will be safe and Howard reluctantly allows him to remain in the bunker after Emmett forces his way in, resulting in his broken arm.  However, when Emmett and Michelle become closer and begin to question Howard’s motives and mindset, things take a dark turn for everyone in the bunker.  Emmett wears relaxed jeans, a grey tank top, and plaid overshirt throughout most of the movie.

In 10 Cloverfield Lane, Howard Stambler (played by John Goodman) is a paranoid ex-Navy officer who is living with Michelle and Emmett in an underground bunker.  He is estranged from his ex-wife Denise and beloved daughter Megan, whom he still attempts to contact against Denise’s wishes.  During the events of the film, Howard’s motivations for bringing Michelle down to the bunker come into question.  Howard is extremely paranoid and could be described as a stereotypical doomsday prepper in many ways.  His clothing is utilitarian, typically consisting of a white t-shirt and a flannel worn over top and left unbuttoned.

Namaari (voiced by Gemma Chan) is the primary antagonist of the Disney animated feature film Raya and the Last Dragon.  She is the princess of Fang, one of the five lands of Kumandra, just as Raya is a princess of Heart.  Namaari is fiercely protective of her people and will do whatever it takes to help them prosper.  She wears her hair short and shorn on one side where she wears a long gold tassel earring.  If you aren’t quite ready for an undercut, a deep side part and some gel to slick back the hair on the left side of your head can help you achieve a similar look.  She also wears gold arm bands and a gold belt over a red sash, harem pants, and a beige tank top.

Mr Saito (played by Ken Watanabe) is the head of Proclus Global in the film Inception.  A rich and powerful man, Saito is originally targeted by Cobb and Arthur.  However, once Saito realizes he is in a dream, he seeks to recruit them for a job of his own.  In the opening dream sequence, Saito wears a tuxedo that combines traditional Japanese garments with more Western silhouettes.  A similar look can be achieved by using the top portion of a nagajuban or a hanjuban undergarment.  Either way, it is best to choose one with pleats or grey details to best exemplify Saito’s costuming.

Ali Mills (played by Elisabeth Shue) is a main character in the 1984 movie The Karate Kid.  Ali befriends Daniel LaRusso as he trains for the All-Valley Karate Championships under Mr. Miyagi.  A popular and stylish girl, Ali wears a number of 80s-inspired outfits throughout the film.  If you can’t find the exact pieces to match her costuming, be sure to focus on the colors and silhouettes; she often wears bold colors but in more pastel shades than many might associate with the decade’s fashions.
