Carbon Costume

“Pull yourself together!” Edna Mode is a supporting character in Disney Pixar’s The Incredibles. She is an eccentric and accomplished fashion designer for superheroes. When Mr. Incredible and Elastigirl plan to fight crime again, they call upon Edna to come out of retirement and design their new costumes. Edna is confident in her sense of self and line of work  She calls everyone “darling” and has a disdain for capes. Her charisma has made her a favorite character in the series, known for providing comic relief.

Thea Preston (Samara Weaving) is the daughter of Wyld Stallyns rocker Bill S. Preston, cowriter-to-be of the greatest song of all time. Although her father and his best friend Ted Logan have yet to actually accomplish this feat, this hasn’t stopped Thea from inheriting her father’s musical talent (and then some, probably from her mother’s side) and penchant for unusual fashion.
With a friend, you can pair this costume with our Billie Logan costume!

In the anime series Hunter x Hunter, Kurapika (voiced by Miyuki Sawashiro and Erika Harlacher in the 2011 series) is the lone survivor of the Kurta clan and a Blacklist Hunter.  While Kurapika’s blue and yellow outfit is easily found pre-made, there are several options available from both the 1999 and 2011 series, depending on how creative and crafty you want to be.

Mr. Incredible is a main protagonist in Disney Pixar’s The Incredibles. His civilian identity is Bob Parr, the husband of Helen Parr, aka Elastigirl. Their children are Violet Parr, Dash Parr, and Jack Jack. The family are actually heroes, belonging to a superhuman race called the Supers. His best friend is a fellow Super named Frozone. Mr. Incredible’s abilities include super strength and invincibility. He commits to always do what’s right, but his anger and ego can sometimes get in the way.

Bridget Von Hammersmark played by Diane Kruger is a famous Nazi Germany film star who is also an important spy for the Allies. She is an incredible actress and wins the nazis over with her charm which makes her a key asset for Operation Kino’s success. What makes this outfit complete is definitely the blank playing cards. Make sure to grab one and inscribe G.W. Pabst on it before placing it on the brim of your hat. Maybe get some friends to play ‘Who Am I?’ while you are at it.

Karen Paige (played by Deborah Ann Woll in both Daredevil and The Punisher) is a secretary-turned-sleuth that works with Matt Murdock and Foggy Nelson. After nearly being convicted of a murder she didn’t commit she goes to work with the two men and ends up embroiled in a whole new Battle for New York that lands her in the direct path of the most dangerous people in the city. Not least of which are Daredevil and The Punisher. Smart and determined, though, Karen makes it through and does her best to keep her friends alive and together in the process.

Although Karen often ends up in dangerous situations she dresses professionally. She wears her long blonde wig down and prefers blouses with pencil skirts and stilettos. Though she usually wears little to no makeup she will dress up as the occasion calls for. And of course she is never without paper, pen, and her phone so she can keep track of the news and clues that come her way.

Carl Showalter played by Steve Buscemi is one of the two antagonists in the 1996 film Fargo. Carl and his partner Gaear Grimsrud are hired by Jerry Lundegaard to kidnap his wife so he can use the ransom money to hide that he has been embezzling money from his car dealership. Carl is very talkative with a short temper and hates smoking. This outfit is perfect for fall and should be very comfortable for going out.

Tauriel (played by Evangeline Lily) is a career soldier. She is loyal to her people and the Middle Earth as a whole. Her loyalty to good is so strong that it lands her at odds with her own leader but she still has to do what’s right.

Cosplaying Tauriel is much the same as cosplaying any Tolkien. A green tunic, brown braces, brown quiver, brown leather vest, and brown boots make up her clothing. An elven bow and blade are her weapons of choice. And of course no Tauriel costume would be complete without her long ginger hair and pointy ears. The ears featured above are blue as a base color so that ever cosplayer can customize them to their specific skin tone.

Topher is a recurring character in both Trevor Wallace and Cherdley’s sketch comedy videos on Youtube. Trevor Wallace takes on the persona of a frat boy who just wants to hang and play beer pong with his bros. Often times, Topher is on lawn duty. He has a rivalry with another frat boy named Chet, in such videos as “Lemme See That Hall Pass.” For added detail, use the blue fabric paint to write on the shirt.

Mickey Pearson (played by Matthew McConaughey) is the main protagonist of The Gentlemen.  Mickey has risen from poverty in his home country of the U.S. to become an exorbitantly wealthy cannabis farmer and dealer in the UK.  Mickey decides to sell his business in a bid to retire, which runs him afoul of several prominent characters including Dry Eye and his associates.  Mickey’s clothing is often a little eccentric or over-the-top in either color or print, making him a fun character to emulate.
