Carbon Costume

Weird Barbie, played by Kate McKinnon is from the new Barbie movie, by Greta Gerwig. Weird Barbie is based off of those Barbies that you may have had when you were a kid that you played with too hard, like cutting their hair and drawing on them with markers. Gerwig revealed that in the movie she is an all-knowing kind of character like The Giver and lives separately from the other Barbies in her own wacky house.

To dress like this hilarious character, use bright fabric paint on a pink puffy dress, a short blonde wig to cut up unevenly and add blue and pink hair chalk, face paint crayons, and pair with tall patterned boots.

Greg Hirsch, played by Nicholas Braun, is from the series Succession. Greg is the cousin of the Roy siblings and works his way up in the huge family company that is Waystar Royco. He has the most endearing personality in the show because of his nervousness and least corrupt behavior in the family. Tom Wambsgans becomes his mentor and friend that is a joy to watch in the show, and a hilarious duo.

Greg’s style changes throughout the season as he makes his way up the company. He started at the very bottom- fired from a theme park where he would dress pretty sloppy but as he gains wealth and finds a place at Waystar, his haircuts become cleaner and he begins wearing sharp suits. There are in-between stages where layering is used where you can really see this transition and growth with a combination of some old pieces that he is still holding onto, and new pieces as he begins to get paid more and more.

Tom Wambsgans played by Matthew MacFadyen, is from the series Succession. Tom is married to one of Logan Roy’s children, Siobhan “Shiv” Roy. He works for Waystar Royco and is ambitious in the way he is always working to grow in the company and becomes very successful in that. He becomes a mentor, friend, and ‘Disgusting Brother’ to Greg Hirsch, which creates a hilarious duo to watch.

Tom’s style is a classic and simple one. He doesn’t stand out from the crowd and the rest of the company, but is always dressed appropriately in every occasion. He wears lots of navy blue suits, and ties in certain instances. For more casual events he tends to wear a simple nice vest over a dress shirt, and in both cases, always a watch. His style throughout the series really shows that he is a true underdog and quietly works his way up to the top.

Jacuzzi (voiced in Japanese by Daisuke Sakaguchi and in English by Joel McDonald) is one of the secondary main characters in the anime/light novel series Baccano!

He leads a gang along with his girlfriend, Nice, and despite being a very big crybaby, he is a fantastic leader.

He has short light brown hair with flopped bangs, and similarly colored eyes, with a sword shaped mark wrapped around his right one, all the way across his face. Jacuzzi wears a light grey button up shirt, with a brown, yellow-lined striped vest over top, khaki pants, and loafers.

Vincent (voiced in Japanese by Jun Fukuyama) is one of the secondary main characters in the anime/manga Pandora Hearts.

He is Gilbert Nightray’s younger brother, and is contracted to the Dormouse Chain. He has an easily switched on enthusiasm for violence, including slicing things up with scissors.

Vincent has long, fluffy golden hair, and two toned eyes, one red, one gold. The teardrop earrings he wears accentuates the red one. He wears a black robe-like outfit, with a white underpiece, and a black capelet-like top. This is finished off with black boots with golden toe tips, and white gloves.

Kevin Levin (voiced by Charlie Schlatter) is a character in the Cartoon Network series Ben 10.  He is an Osmosian who is at first an enemy of Ben Tennyson, though the two eventually become allies. Kevin has several different looks throughout the series.  His Omniverse appearance is a little grungier and more tattered than others.  To make your costume, you’ll need to be willing to distress a black t-shirt and a green striped long-sleeved shirt to wear beneath it.  Use a brown eyeliner pencil to recreate the scar on Kevin’s chin and a black one to smudge around your eyes.  Finish the look with a black wig, distressed jeans, black and white shoes, a blue shoulder harness, and a padlock necklace.

Ms. Tarantula (voiced by Awkwafina) is a hacker who teams up with Mr. Wolf and the rest of his crew in The Bad Guys.  Ms. Tarantula is a spider with orange and darker, purple-ish colors along her body.  To make your own Ms. Tarantula costume, start with an orange bodysuit and wig.  You can add purple temporary hair color to the tips of the wig to get closer to her coloring from the movie.  Lastly, you’ll need a pullover hoodie and a pair of headphones.  Finding an exact match for her sweatshirt is tough, so you can either go with a hoodie that has similar colors, or make your own by purchasing a plain black pullover and adding the arm stripes and square 8-bit details to the front yourself with fabric paint.  For your legs, don a spider backpack in similar colors to match the rest of your costume.

Kel is Hero‘s younger brother in the indie RPG OMORI.  Competitive by nature, Kel can sometimes seem a little bratty.  He and Aubrey often bicker over small things, but he cares about her and his other friends deeply.  In the real world, Kel has brown hair and is very into sports.  You can add the design found on the front of his orange jersey with some white fabric paint, then add a pair of basketball shorts and sneakers, both in orange and white, to complete the look.  Kel’s dreamy outfit in HEADSPACE is a little more difficult to replicate because the multicolored checkered tank top is unique.  If you can’t find an exact match, look for tank tops with a soft ombre or pastel colors instead.  Pair it with a purple wig, dark shorts, and a beach ball to finish your costume.

Kyoya (voiced in Japanese by Masaya Matsukaze and in English by J. Michael Tatum) is one of the secondary main characters in the anime/manga Ouran High School Host Club.

He is the vice president of the aforementioned host club, that he runs with Tamaki Suoh, his best friend. Kyoya is in charge of the finances and keeping the club running, while Tamaki is more showy and in charge of the visual appeal.

Kyoya has short black hair and greyish brown eyes. He has a pair of silvery oval framed glasses, and then wears a white button up, a black tie with purple lined details, the periwinkle Ouran school jacket, black slacks, and black formal shoes.

Johnny Cade (played by Ralph Macchio) is a member of the greaser gang at the heart of The Outsiders.  Johnny is close with Ponyboy, the main character of the film and the narrator of the book upon which it is based.  They are the two youngest members of the gang.  Johnny has a slight build and dark hair, which he styles to fall over one side of his face.  Johnny has a scar on his left cheek from an altercation with the Socs.  To create your costume, you’ll need blue jeans, black and white sneakers, and a black wig.  Use a denim jacket to complete the look.  To replicate Johnny’s scar, you can use a wax scar kit and some foundation that matches your skin tone.  Lastly, Johnny begins carrying a switchblade after he’s attacked by the Socs, and a trick knife can play the part for you.
