Carbon Costume

Sadao Maou (voiced by Ryota Osaka in Japanese and Josh Grelle in English) is the main protagonist of the anime and manga series The Devil is a Part-Timer!  Satan Jacob is the Devil King before he is forced to retreat to Earth where he dons the more human appearance of Sadao Maou.  Sadao works at MgRonald’s as a part-time employee.  There are cosplay sets of Sadao’s work uniform which you can purchase and pair with shoes, a cape, shoulder armor, and a dark green wig to complete the look.  If you’re particularly brave, you might also like to use a pair of red contact lenses to alter the color of your eyes.  If you’d rather make your own costume, a red polo, red visor, and black pants will get the job done.  You can use yellow fabric paint to add the signature MgRonald’s stripe across the front of the shirt.

Ferid (voiced in Japanese by Takahiro Sakurai and in English by Eric Vale) is one of the main vampire antagonists in the anime/manga Owari no Seraph/Seraph of the End.

He kicked off a good majority of the plot by murdering the rest of the children that Yu and Mika considered family, sending Yu on a revenge quest. He loves to annoy the people he spends time with, much to Krul‘s frustration.

Ferid has long lavender-grey hair that he wears tied back with a large black bow, red eyes, vampire fangs, and pointed ears. He wears a waist-length white shirt with diamond detailing and ruffled cuffs, that trails off into longer coattails, with a ribboned capelet over top and a cravat. The rest of his outfit is white pants, extremely tall thigh high black boots, and white gloves.

Quiet up and listen down! There’s a new Willy Wonka in town, played by Timothee Chalamet in the new movie-musical Wonka. The original story is from the 1964 novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl. This new story follows a younger Wonka before he becomes who we know today from the two film adaptations where he is played by Gene Wilder and then Johnny Depp. In this new whimsical film we follow his journey into becoming a chocolatier.

Wonka’ s costume has elements that are reminiscent of both Roald Dahl’s original art and previous films. He still wears iconic pieces like the purple velvet coat, brown top hat, and walking stick. In this new costume we also see the designer playing with layering and unique patterns like the brown vest layered on top of a white pinstriped shirt, over that another blue and yellow vest, and then the coat. He also wears high waisted trousers and a patterned scarf tucked into the vest.

The Will of the Abyss (voiced in Japanese by Ayako Kawasumi) is one of the key plot characters in the anime/manga Pandora Hearts.

She has control over the Abyss, and is in charge of all the Chains, which has lead to her powers being in high demand by the government organization, Pandora.

Much like Alice, she has very long hair with fluffed out side-pieces and thin braids, but hers is white instead, and her eyes are a pale lavender. She wears a short skirted, intricately detailed white dress with a big outer-belled half skirt, decorated with blue roses and black ribbons. She wears a matching black ribbon with the roses around her neck, and a thicker white ribbon tied around her leg.

Doctor Fate refers to a number of heroes who have done the gold help and cape of a DC Comics staple.  No matter which Doctor Fate is your fave, a few things remain the same; the hero has supernatural powers and the costume also includes a blue bodysuit with yellow gold accessories.  To create your Doctor Fate, start with a blue full-body suit.  Then, you’ll need a golden cape, gold gloves, and gold boots of your choosing.  Finish the book with a gold utility belt.  Replica Doctor Fate masks can be a bit pricey, but you can get creative with yours by using a gold hood beneath a polarized face shield or a plastic full-face mask instead.

Marine Mauri (voiced by Kelly Marot) is one half of the titular siblings in the French cartoon Les Sisters.  Though Marine often needles her older sister Wendy, she also looks up to her, and the two share a lot of love for each other.  Unlike her sister, Marine has honey blonde hair and wears mostly green.  Her outfit includes a green long-sleeved shirt with a heart design, dark green pants, and light green sneakers.  You can recreate her look by purchasing a similar shirt, even if it isn’t an exact match, or opt to use an iron-on decal to spruce up a plain green shirt instead.

Kimizuki (voiced in Japanese by Kaito Ishikawa and in English by Ian Sinclair) is one of the secondary main characters in the anime/manga series Owari no Seraph/Seraph of the End.

He works with Yu and the others in Shinoa’s squad under the Japanese Imperial Demon Army, and is proficient in dual sword wielding. He often butts heads with Yu, but still cares about his friends and teammates.

Kimizuki has very short reddish pink hair, pinkish eyes, black rectangle frame glasses, and has two gold piercings in one ear. He wears the typical Moon Demon Army uniform in black and green detailing, with white gloves, and gold and white tipped knee high boots.

Jack is a character in the thriller/drama film Don’t Worry Darling, and is played by the well known singer Harry Styles. The story follows Alice who lives with Jack in a seemingly perfect community called victory in the 1950s. Throughout the film, Alice begins to discover dark secrets about her life at Victory and questions Jack’s intentions.

Jack typically wears suits, and the occasional 50s casual bowling-style shirts. Every day Jack heads off to work along with all of the men in the community. While we aren’t sure initially where he goes off to, we can see that he always has on a nice stylish suit like his brown one with a matching tie.

Mermaid Barbie is a character in the hit 2023 movie Barbie, directed by Greta Gerwig. She’s one of the many Barbies in Barbie Land, with blue, purple, and pink variants – making this the perfect trio cosplay. She’s portrayed by pop artist Dua Lipa – who sings the movie’s bespoke discopop song “Dance the Night Away”. The tail isn’t entirely accurate – we never see Mermaid Barbie’s full tail in the movie – but the color palette is so Barbie!

Chelsea Van Der Zee (voiced by Annie Murphy) is the primary antagonist of the Dreamworks animated film Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken.  Chelsea is a popular girl at Ruby‘s school and is also a mermaid, though she blends in very well with humans.  To recreate her school-going look from the film, you’ll need a long red wig, blue crop top, and sparkling pants.  Accessorize with a blue choker necklace, green beaded hoop earrings, and white sneakers.  Lastly, add a dab of light blue fingernail polish.
