Carbon Costume

Chrollo (voiced in Japanese by Mamoru Miyano and in English by Robbie Daymond) is the founder and current leader of the Phantom Troupe is the anime/manga Hunter x Hunter.

The outfit I’ve chosen for this article is the disguise that he wears in the York New arc when he’s infiltrating to steal Neon Nostrade’s nen ability, though he does have several other outfits that will be featured in another article later on.

Chrollo has soft grey eyes, and while he usually wears his hair slicked back, for this outfit he wears it loose and down, with a greenish grey ribbon covering the cross tattoo he has on his forehead. He wears the bauble earrings that he usually has on for this, but the rest of it is a pretty standard suit jacket and pants over a white shirt, black tie, and black oxfords finishing off the look.

Spencer Wright (voiced by Rasmus Hardiker) is one of the two main protagonists in the Disney cartoon series, Dude, That’s My Ghost! along with Billy Joe Cobra.

Spencer has a huge passion for filmmaking, and a fascination with creating and watching horror movies. He is one of the few people that can see Billy, as he and his friends have an item that Billy owned when he was alive that allows them to interact with him.

He has light brown loosely spiked hair, and cartoon typical black eyes. The shirt he wears is a baseball style tee, white with red sleeves and a ghost iron-on image on the front. He has standard blue jeans, green and orange sneakers, and carries around his camcorder that he uses for his movies pretty much everywhere he goes.

Larry Daley (played by Ben Stiller) is the protagonist of the Night at the Museum film series.  Larry works as the night security guard at the Museum of Natural History in New York City where the exhibits, including wax statues of historical figures like Teddy Roosevelt, come to life.  Larry’s security uniform is fairly standard, though you can add an iron-on patch to the left arm to get closer to his look from the movies.  If an official one can’t be found, consider a fun “Night at the Museum” version as a fun nod to the franchise.

Birdie Jay (played by Kate Hudson) is a former model in Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.  Birdie isn’t the brightest of her friend group, which includes politician Claire Debella and scientist Lionel Toussaint, but she’s more than excited to abscond from quarantine life to a private Greek island for a murder mystery weekend at the bequest of Miles Bron.  Her stunning metallic rainbow gown worn at dinner is custom-made for the movie, and the nearest couture inspiration is nearly impossible to track down, so don’t be afraid to stray from the film to find a fittingly colorful floor-length multicolor dress, paired with colorful eye makeup.  Birdie also wears a breezy jumpsuit with an oversized hat on the boat ride to the island, if you’re feeling a little more boho than black tie.

Bibi is a supporting character in Poko, a children’s stop-motion television series. She is a young girl who appears in the second season. She is Poko’s friend and occasionally visits him for play dates. Like Poko, Bibi has a magic ability. Her magic sticker book can turn the sticker of an object into that real object.

Detective Benoit Blanc (played by Daniel Craig) returns in Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.  Hired by Andi Brand‘s sister to take on a case involving Miles Bron and a group of influential friends including Claire Debella, Duke Cody, Birdie Jay, and Lionel Toussaint, Detective Blanc travels to a private island to attend a murder mystery dinner.  Of course, the mystery that truly unfolds is altogether more deadly than the game is meant to be.  Detective Blanc wears a host of vacation-worthy outfits, leaning toward lighter colors and fabrics.  His looks include a light pink shirt with tan pants, white sneakers, and a blue handkerchief for the boat ride to the island, a tan suit with a blue shirt and pink handkerchief for dinner, and a blue and white striped swimming ensemble that appears to be straight out of an old-timey film.

Rem is a character that’s found in the anime/manga Death Note, and for this version the focus will be on the live action stage adaptation of the series, where she’s portrayed as a lot more human-like in appearance than her regular shinigami (death god) form. For this specific design I’ve gone with what I believe is Megumi Hamada’s portrayal of her, as there are variations of the character between each version of the musical.

Rem is the shinigami that Misa Amane has ties to, by way of her Death Note, and throughout the series came to care very deeply for her, despite the fact that Misa was human. This comes out even more strongly through the musical soundtrack, with much more love showing through how she sings about and with her.

In this particular version, Rem has pale, pearlescent skin with grey and blue highlighting tones, blue makeup, and long silver-white hair with blue strands trailed throughout it. The outfit she wears is a long, torn and draped robe/dress-like piece with a cloak over top, simple white pants underneath, and white shoes. One standout piece of this design that ties in nicely to the original shinigami form that she has is the extra-long fingernails, mimicking her long pointed fingers.

Gilgamesh (Don Lee) is a character in the Marvel film, The Eternals. He’s an Eternal, an immortal, super-powered being created to eradicate Deviants to help populate the Celestial race. Gilgamesh and nine other Eternals get sent to Earth but are forbidden to interact in human conflicts. Although he possesses great strength and fighting ability, he doesn’t look so intimidating when dressed as a big baby! Sprite casted this illusion which made for a funny moment. Affix the rainbow stickers all over the onesie, and use the fabric markers to make the drawings on the bib. Don’t forget to write “Gilga-Mess” in blue!

Elizabeth “Polly” Gray (Helen McCrory) is a character in Peaky Blinders. She was the mother of Michael and Anna Gray and the aunt of Arthur, Thomas, John, Ada, and Finn Shelby. She is the matriarch of the Shelby Family and a part of The Peaky Blinders, a criminal gang and accountant of her surname’s company. While her brothers were absent during WWI, Polly managed the gang and gave business advice to her nephews. She was killed by the IRA as a result of her participation.

Jet Propulsion (voiced by Ashleigh Ball) is the main character of the PBS Kids show Ready Jet Go!  Jet is an alien from the planet Bortron 7 who relocates to Earth with his parents to study its customs. Once they settle in Washington state, Jet befriends Sydney, Sean, and Mindy.  Jet has red hair and wears a blue puffy coat with blue pants and grey boots.  To make his boots look a little more like they do on the show, you can wrap a red boot lace around them to give them their signature pop of color.
