Maude Lebowski from The Big Lebowski

In the Coen Brothers’ film The Big Lebowski, Maude Lebowski (played by Julianne Moore) is a provocative avant-garde artist and the daughter of Jeffrey Lebowski.  She is highly critical of her father’s relationship with Bunny, and is the person responsible for the Dude losing his rug.  During their initial real life interaction, Maude is seen wearing a long olive green robe, and later, she dons a gold Viking valkyrie costume in one of the Dude’s dreams.  When crafting your Maude costume, you will need to decide whether the silhouette or the color of her robe are more important to you, as it can be very difficult to find one that does both.  Adding additional props and touches to a fabricated Maude Viking costume can help bring your costume to the next level.

King Candy from Wreck-It Ralph

King Candy (voiced by Alan Tudyk) might look like a sweetheart but he’s the biggest villain on the track in Sugar Rush. And his villainy doesn’t stop when the flag drops. When Ralph threatens the sweet setup the King has going, he lets the big guy see the full force of his royal anger.

As the King it makes sense that King Candy’s outfit is one of the most lavish in the game. His crown is narrow but tall, sitting high on the bald dome of his head. It might be hard to find an exact match for the crown but a bald cape and some fake eyebrows repurposed for the wings on the side of his head will at least give you the royal ‘do. A purple coat with tails, a red bow tie, gold pantaloons, gold tights, and purple shoes are the most eye-catching parts of his outfit.

There is a little bit of DIY with this costumes, however. Gold harem pants can be shortened into the King’s pantaloons since finding a pair ready-made is very hard to do and expensive. And the white shirt under the coat can be accented with white paper doilies to recreate the large ruff of the King’s coat. Use a red sharpie to color in the peppermint swirls at the top of the doilies and find yourself a costume cane and you’re ready to go!

Candlehead from Wreck-It Ralph

In Wreck-It Ralph, Candlehead (Voiced by Katie Lowes) is the space case among the racers of Sugar Rush.

Candhead, however, is sweet inside and out. She’s the comedian of the group and loves to have a good laugh.

Dressing up as Candlehead takes a little bit of handiwork. A brown beanie, pink felt, and an LED candle can be combined to recreate her hat. After that you just need a pink track jacket, brown shirt, pink skirt, brown leggings, black boots, and pink laces for her outfit. Don’t forget a green wig styled into pigtails to round out the costume!
