Carbon Costume

October means Halloween, pumpkin spice, and New York Comic Con! Over the weekend, pop culture fans swarmed the Jacob K. […]

In Miraculous Ladybug, Hawk Moth is the supervillain alter-ego of fashion designer Gabriel Agreste. He’s also the father of Adrien Agreste and arch-nemesis of both Adrien’s alter-ego, Cat Noir, and Ladybug. Whenever he controls someone with an Akuma, a bright pink butterfly shape appears on his face, which you can fabricate using the battery-powered pink neon rope.

Cameron Poe (played by Nicolas Cage) is the former Army Ranger imprisoned for murder at the heart of 1997’s Con Air. Poe is paroled at the beginning of the film and hitches a ride to be reunited with his wife and the daughter he’s never met on an airplane filled with violent offenders.  When the inmates take over the plane, Poe must outsmart them to help law enforcement, all while protecting the precious stuffed rabbit he’s brought as his first gift to his young daughter.  Poe’s hair is long by the time he is paroled, and once he sheds his prison shirt, he spends most of the film in jeans and a white tank top.  To sell the look at the end of the film, you’ll need some gauze for your arm as well as a little fake blood.  And don’t forget the bunny.

Sharon McGee (voiced by Sumalee Montano) is the mother of the titular Molly on the Disney Channel show The Ghost and Molly McGee.  Also the mother of Darryl and wife of Pete, Sharon is an artist who formerly attended law school.  She is hardworking and dedicated to her family, as well as careful with money.  Sharon wears dark blue jeans and mauve sneakers with a pale green cardigan.  Her gold necklace may be hard to find an exact match for, but a similarly geometric pendant necklace can do the trick.

Ciel Phantomhive (voiced in Japanese by Maaya Sakamoto and in English by Brina Palencia) is the main character in the anime Kuroshitsuji (Black Butler).

Despite being barely a teenager, Ciel is ruthless in getting what he wants, including going down illegal paths or enlisting the help of his battle trained staff, as well as his demon butler, Sebastian. He works as a watchdog for the Queen and heads the Funtom Corporation that he inherited after the murder of his family, which he is still seeking revenge for (though if you’re reading the manga, that’s become a bit tricky lately).

While the color changes a bit between different seasons and OVAs, his hair is usually a blueish grey in color, and he has one vibrant blue eye, with the other one hidden behind his usual eyepatch being a deep royal purple, the Faustian contract he shares with Sebastian overlaid on it.

Ciel has several outfits throughout the series, but this one in particular is one we see a bit more than others. Starting with the accessories, these don’t tend to change, he has blue stud earrings, a black eyepatch, and two family-associated rings. The outfit itself starts with a white button up shirt, a black bow at the front, a long blue coat with matching blue shorts, black socks held up with black sock garters, and then black and white heeled oxford saddle shoes.

Johnny Cage (voiced by Andrew Bowen in Mortal Kombat 11) is an action movie star and martial artist.  He is one of the seven original characters from the Mortal Kombat game series.  Johnny is a bit of a showboat and an airhead, but that does not detract from his fighting prowess.  In Mortal Kombat 11, Johnny’s look is more military-like than in previous iterations.  He wears a tactical vest and pants, with a black long-sleeved shirt, combat boots, and sunglasses.  Unless you can DIY Johnny’s “CAGE” belt, it might be hard to find, so look for a large silver buckle to use as a stand-in.

Lady Delilah Briarwood is a character from Critical Role, a DnD campaign on Youtube. She is also a character in Legend of Vox Machina, the animated adaptation on Amazon Prime. She is a powerful human wizard and zealot of Vecna. Cunning and ruthless, Delilah is the mastermind behind the Briarwoods’ plans in Whitestone. Despite her cold nature, she genuinely loves her husband, Sylas, and remains devoted to him. As an NPC, this character is played by the dungeon master Matthew Mercer.

Dr. Carla Radames (voiced by Courtenay Taylor) is the person responsible for the creation of the C-Virus in the Resident Evil video game franchise.  In Resident Evil 6, Dr. Radames undergoes a transformation as part of Derek Simmons’ Ada Project, which turns her into a doppelganger of Ada Wong.  In her new appearance, Dr. Radames has short black hair and wears a blue dress with red scarf and belt.  She also uses Ada’s signature Hookshot weapon.  When seeking a gun to replicate the one she uses in the game, look for something futuristic-looking and mostly silver in color.

Sylas Briarwood is a character from Critical Role, a DnD campaign on Youtube. He is also a character in Legend of Vox Machina, the animated adaptation on Amazon Prime. He is a vampire who rules Whitestone alongside his wife, Delilah. Cruel and sinister, he will do anything to stay in power and serve Vecna. Despite his supernatural charm, Sylas has little empathy for others aside from his wife. As an NPC, this character is played by the dungeon master Matthew Mercer.
