Carbon Costume

In One Piece, Uta is a world famous diva singer and the adopted daughter of the Red-Haired Shanks. She has long white hair on her left side and long red hair on the right, arranged as ponytails with circle braids at the ends. She wears a short white frilly dress, a light blue sleeve on her left arm, and always golden headphones over her ears. She and Luffy are longtime friends and rivals. Uta is the star of One Piece Film: Red.

In Resident Evil Village, Lord Karl Heisenberg is the patriarch of the Heisenberg family. He’s a genius engineer who runs the Heisenberg factory and serves Mother Miranda in the Eastern European mountains. He first encounters Ethan Winters in Castle Dimitrescu, where he entombs him in scrap metal and brings him to Lady Dimitrescu and the other lords.

In Andor, Cassian Jeron Andor (Diego Luna) is a thief whose planet was destroyed by the Galactic Empire’s mining project. He starts out as a cynic only looking out for himself, and gradually transforms into a reluctant revolutionary and then together with Jyn Erso and others, a hero of the Rebellion.

In Shrek 2 and Shrek the Third, Doris (voiced by Larry King!) is one of Cinderella’s step-sisters, who works as a bartender. She puts forth Puss in Boots to King Harold for the task of assassinating Shrek. Eventually she ends up as part of Princess Fiona’s inner circle. Whether she’s ugly is subjective — Simon Cowell certainly thinks so — but her makeup with gaudy eyeshadow, pencil-thin eyebrows, and prominent mole, is ultimately what makes or breaks this cosplay.

Agent Norman Jayden (voiced by Leon Ockenden) is one of the four playable characters in the gritty adventure game Heavy Rain.  Agent Jayden is tasked with investigating the Origami Killer who abducted Ethan Mars‘ son.  He also struggles with drug addiction and subsequent withdrawal symptoms.  Agent Jayden’s costume is pretty straightforward; a dark-colored suit and tie that befits the seriousness of his position.  To replicate the futuristic Added Reality Interface (ARI) device he uses during the game, you can snag a pair of dark sunglasses and a single compression glove for your write hand.

In Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, Penny is a student in the same grade at the Academy as the Pokemon trainers. She’s rather shy and always wears her big fluffy Eevee bag on her back.

Milky Way and the Galaxy Girls is a cartoon concept that was pitched to Hasbro by Lauren Faust. Although Hasbro passed on it, it eventually morphed into the highly successful My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. MWGG is inspired by the 90’s Strawberry Shortcake series, with a dash of the anime Sailor Moon, with the girls as the personification of different planets. Mercury’s winged sneaker-skates propel her through the cosmos in a shimmery silver flash at the speed of light.

Benatar (voiced by Ray William Johnson with Jesse Cale providing his singing voice) is a supporting character in the web series Your Favorite Martian.  A member of the titular band, Benatar suffers some rougher treatment from bandmates Puff Puff and Axel, but it doesn’t seem to bother him much.  To recreate Benatar’s look, you’ll need black pants and a blue suit jacket with a red tie.  He also has blonde hair that sweeps over his eyes, so you might need to take a little time to style your hair or a wig.  Lastly, if you don’t already have a keytar, they can be quite expensive, so don’t shy away from a toy or inflatable version instead of the real thing to complete the look.

The Beatles performed at Shea Stadium in 1965 in matching khaki jackets. It set records for attendance as one of the most famous concert events of the 60s. From left to right, Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. If you want to specifically dress as Paul, add a sheriff’s badge. Grab three friends to make a fab four!

Geppetto (played by Tom Hanks) is the kindly old clockmaker who makes a puppet and wishes him to life in the Disney live-action remake of Pinocchio.  When Geppetto wishes on a star for his puppet to come to life, the Blue Fairy grants his wish, which starts Pinocchio on his quest to become a real boy.  In the live-action version of the movie, Geppetto is depicted as an old man with grey hair and a mustache who wears glasses.  His costuming includes an oversized shirt, vest, and green pants, with long wool socks and buckle shoes.
