Carbon Costume

Jenny is a character from the classic 1994 film Forrest Gump, and is played by Robin Wright. In this film, Jenny is the love interest of Forrest and we get to see her at many different stages throughout her life, starting at childhood when she first met him. Her costumes change along with her, and how she wants to show her personality at different stages.

In the phase covered here, these costumes are often called her “hippie” outfits. To dress like Jenny in this era, wear a fur lined faux suede coat. Another way is you could go all out with a white frock maxi dress and layer a long fringe brown vest over it and a brown wide belt at the waist. Add some buttons to one side of the vest and you have the perfect Jenny outfit for every day life or as a costume, maybe even with your significant other as Forrest Gump.

Kelly is a character from the new film Fly Me to the Moon, and is played by Scarlett Johansson. The film takes place in the 1960s and is a romance/ comedy between two characters: Cole, a NASA official and Kelly, a marketing executive as they make preparations for the Apollo 11 moon landing.

To dress like Kelly, wear a sleeveless yellow bow blouse, high-waisted orange cropped trousers, a purple printed scarf in your hair, and carry a clipboard with a NASA sticker on the back.

Kinds of Kindness is a new film by Yorgos Lanthimos and is a triptych fable that follows three unique characters and their stories. Willem Dafoe plays the character(s) of Raymond/George/Omi.

To dress like Dafoe, wear a bright pink windbreaker or rain jacket over a burnt orange turtleneck sweater, purple-grey joggers, dusty blue knitted socks, and outdoor or hiking sandals.

Cole is a character from the new film Fly Me to the Moon, and is played by Channing Tatum. The film takes place in the 1960s and is a romance/comedy between two characters: Cole, a NASA official and Kelly, a marketing executive as they make preparations for the Apollo 11 moon landing.

To dress like Cole, wear a navy blue polo with dark trousers, or a green mock neck short sleeve sweater shirt. He also wears a deep gray checked/ plaid blazer with a skinny black retro tie and a white button down shirt.

MaXXXine is the new third installment of the Ti West’s X series starring Mia Goth. In this new film, we follow an adult film star Maxine Minx in 1980s Hollywood as she finally gets her big break as an actress. She eventually faces a killer who stalks the stars of Los Angeles.

To dress like Maxine in her denim-on-denim costume, wear a light-wash denim vest top, fitted light-wash denim jeans, gold hoops, oversized purple and black sunglasses, white heels, and a white chunky acrylic bracelet. Another one of her looks features the same gold hoops, a green bomber jacket, black sparkly tank top, and a black sparkly mini skirt.

Michelle Jones-Watson, better known as MJ, is a character played by Zendaya from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, in the Spider-Man films. She is a recurring love interest of Spider-Man.

To dress like MJ, you could go for a couple different looks. One is a black animal print dress with a black denim coat. Another, which would make a great duo/ couples costume, is a white long-sleeve shirt with an image of Joan of Arc printed on the front, a black contrast-stitch denim jacket, black jeans, and black converse sneakers.

Satine is one of the main characters from the iconic Baz Lurhmann musical film Moulin Rogue, and is played by Nicole Kidman. Moulin Rogue is a flashy and over-the-top musical film (in the best way) and features its own takes on popular songs, including those of the early 2000s while following the love story between Satine and Christian.

To dress like Satine in her diamond costume, take a silver corset as the base for the top. Overlay a scalloped silver lace and mesh fabric over it entirely. Create the collar and half skirt, use faux black velvet fabric and silver trims and appliqués, or even rhinestones (silver and/ or AB). Attach fringe silver trim to the bottom front of the corset. Pair this with long black opera gloves, black fishnet tights, black vintage dance heels, and a black top hat that you can also add silver trim to. For her red gown, take a red gown with a corset waist and wear with the long black opera gloves.

Melody is a character from the new Ghostbsuters film, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire and is played by Emily Alyn Lind. The film follows The Spengler family as they return to New York City, specifically the iconic firehouse we know from the original Ghostbusters. An ancient artifact is found and releases an evil force that brings on a second ice age, but both the new and old Ghostbusters are there to stop it together.

To dress like Melody, wear a blue lace dress, blue lace sleeveless cardigan, black tights, blue knit socks, and black loafers.
