Carbon Costume

Jane Kano (played by Ella Balinska) was the youngest recruit to ever join MI-6.  Jane now serves as a member of Charlie’s Angels in the 2019 reboot and continuation of the franchise.  Jane works closely with fellow Angels Sabina and newly-recruited Elena to stop the implementation of Elena’s program Calisto.  Jane’s clothing is often utilitarian and even militaristic.  However, as is the case for every Angel, she often dons disguises and costumes in order to complete her mission, offering a lot of different options when emulating the character’s style.

The Pig is the moniker used by apprentices/successors of Jigsaw. There have been many over the years, though they do not vary much in appearance. The male ones typically don Jigsaw’s red and black robe, while the female ones wear long red leather coats, both of which help deal with the bloody affair that is kidnapping victims and setting up Jigsaw’s games. In the game Dead by Daylight, Amanda Young is a devoted pupil of Jigsaw who assumes the identity of the Pig following her own death. To recreate the Pig’s costume, you’ll need a pig mask with wig and a red leather coat layered over a pair of jeans. You can use a simple red trench coat, or if you want the full length of the costume in the game, you could layer a red moto jacket with a hood over a faux leather skirt that you cut in the middle.

In the latest entry into the Charlie’s Angels franchise, Elena Houghlin (played by Naomi Scott) is a programmer and engineer who joins forces with the Angels to stop the energy conservation device Calisto from being implemented.  Elena is smart and an MIT graduate.  Throughout the course of the film, Elena discovers an entirely new set of skills as she bonds with fellow Angels Sabina and Jane.  Elena wears a plethora of colorful and diverse outfits in the movie, leaving plenty of room for you to find an outfit that speaks to your own personal sense of style.

In Total Recall, Melina (played by Rachel Ticotin) is the woman from Quaid’s Martian dreams. She is a resistance fighter seeking to overthrow Cohaagen. Quaid finds her at her club The Last Resort where Quaid tells her he doesn’t remember who he is. Together Melina and Quaid join forces to bring justice to the people of Mars. Melina mixes black and brightly patterned clothes. She wears a creamy eyeliner and a mauve colored lip.

Jibran (played by Kumail Nanjiani) is the boyfriend of Leilani in the Netflix romantic comedy The Lovebirds.  Jibran and Leilani’s relationship seems to have run its course at the beginning of the movie, but they then find themselves on the run after a deadly encounter with a bicyclist and a mysterious man with a mustache.  Jibran wears several costumes throughout the film, but by far the most fun is the gold metallic jacket and “Professional Bead Hunter” t-shirt he dons in the middle.  While finding the exact shirt may not be possible, look for a fun Mardi Gras-themed t-shirt to fit the bill.  If you’re looking for something more sophisticated, Jibran’s colorful borrowed tux and gold mask are a great choice.

William “Billy” Lee is the main antagonist in the movie Bad Times at the El Royale. He is played by Chris Hemsworth and largely inspired by real-life cult leader Charles Manson.

The movie is set in the 1970s and this sets the tone for Lee’s costume. He has long feathered hair and a goatee that is an iconic part of his costume. Billy Lee is also know for wearing an open chambray shirt with nothing underneath. If you’re not comfortable with this look you can wear a skin-tone t-shirt beneath. Or, if you’re feeling cheeky, you can buy a shirt printed with abs like Hemsworth’s and wear that beneath the overshirt.

A long chain necklace, dark jeans, a brown leather belt with a sheathed knife, and flip flops round out the look. If you can talk people into just about anything you’ll be fully in character. A little scary… but fully in character!

Kristoff (voiced by Jonathan Groff, who you may know as King George III from Hamilton) is a character in Frozen 2. Rugged and broad shouldered, he works as an ice harvester with his reindeer companion, Sven. In the second movie, Kristoff accompanies the two sisters to the Enchanted Forest. While there, he struggles to propose to Princess Anna. His song, “Lost in the Woods,” express these frustrations. Kristoff helps Anna destroy the dam and save Northuldra. When they reunite with Elsa, he finally proposes, and Anna says yes. This outfit is similar to the first movie, just with a change of color palette to fit the autumn theme. Use hot glue to add fur to the collar, sleeves, and bottom of the t-shirt. You might also want to trim the sash as it looks very long.

In How to Train Your Dragon, Astrid Hofferson (America Ferrera) is a young Viking woman from the Hooligan Tribe, and the eventual girlfriend of Hiccup. She’s blunt in her speech but loyal to her friends, and excelled in the training of/with her dragon. Brown fur and armor, inspired by her Viking heritage, are fixtures in her outfit.
