Carbon Costume

Stolas (voiced by Brock Baker in the pilot on YouTube) is a demon prince of hell in the web series Hazbin Hotel. He dotes on those he loves and is, generally, less cruel than other demons. But he is still a demon. Just one whose interests lie in the sexual rather than the generally violent. At least with other demons. With humans, however, it’s quite a different story.

You can’t quite mimic Stolas’ bird-like appearance. But you can get close! Start with a top hat and add back feathers around the rim. Add a golden crown on the brim and your hat is all set. Gray face paint and an owl mask lend you Stolas’ facial appearance. And the rest of the costume is all down to his regal sense of style.

Stolas favors an ermine-trimmed cape with a tattered hem. The cape pictured above is close but you will have to tatter the edges yourself. Under that Stolas wears a red military-style coat, grey skintight pants that are best mimicked with gray leggings, and tall black boots. Next you’ll need long black gloves with white feathers added around the top. And finally you will need a long feathered owl tail. You can either make one or use the feathered boa pictured above to mimic Stolas’ tail.

Now you’re ready to strut your stuff as a prince of Hell!

Agent Six (voiced by Wally Kurth) is the sixth most dangerous man in the world, the top agent at Providence, and the person assigned to protect Rex Salazar.  Six is a stoic man who wears a green suit and sunglasses.  While he wields a number of different weapons, his preferred choice are a pair of magna blades that fold up for storage.  He keeps these in his sleeves so they are readily available when he needs them.  Unless you can build a set of your own, you may have to settle for a pair of standard short swords instead.

Bridget Jones (played by Renée Zellweger) is the every-woman heroine of Bridget Jones’s Diary and its two sequels. Bridget is an unlucky in love woman who chronicles her personal and professional life in a diary as she navigates her thirties in London. Bridget is well-known for often wearing clothing that may seem inappropriate by others’ standards, making her outfits fun to recreate. It would be difficult to find Bridget’s exact Christmas party look from the first movie, but you can evoke the same feeling by finding a vintage skirt and vest set in holiday colors. Likewise, if you’d like to replicate her look from the “absent skirt” incident from Bridget’s office, only a black mini with matching tights will do.

Kenneth Chase was an athletic young man whose fascination for birds led to him drugging and killing them for their feathers. Once his obsession carried over to humans and after fleeing the police in his hometown, he joined the circus under the alias Jeffrey Hawk, using the cover of a friendly clown to hide his dark nature. This allowed him to kill many victims, keeping a finger from each. The Clown now drugs and sacrifices countless survivors as one of the killers in the game Dead by Daylight. The Clown’s costume can be recreated a few ways, depending on your personal tastes. You can use a latex mask, or recreate his clown makeup by hand, and a colorful clown costume could be made to look dingy, or a more subtly colored one could be substituted in its stead.

Gosalyn Mallard (voiced by Christine Cavanaugh) is the rough-and-tumble adopted daughter of Drake Mallard (AKA Darkwing Duck). She is wily and clever with a good heart but a short temper. Like her father she’s the kind of person to rush into trouble for the good of others. And that readiness to dive head-first into the fray shows in her costume.

Dressing as Gosalyn is both simple and comfortable. A red wig with pigtails takes care of her hair while a puple t-shirt and some fabric paint creates her signature top. You can also add the “1” with a vinyl decal but white paint might be easier. Layer the t-shirt over a long-sleeve pink shirt, then roll up the undershirt’s sleeves and you’ve got the majority of Gosalyn’s look.

Yellow skinny jeans, thick cuffed white socks, and purple high tops round out the rest of the look. Now you’re ready to five into action alongside Darkwing Duck!

Obanai Iguro is a character from the hit anime Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba. Known as the Snake or Serpent Pillar, he is one of the nine Hashiras of the Demon Slayer Corps. He has heterochromia — one yellow eye and one blue eye — and is partially blind in the right eye. His bandaged mask hides the scars by his mouth and ears that make him appear more snake-like. Obanai is never seen without his pet snake, Kaburamaru, coiled around his shoulders. In spite of his merciless personality, he is devoted. He exhibits such loyalty his service to Oyakata-sama and as a romantic partner to Mitsuri Kanroji.

Aldrin Pesky (voiced by David Kaufman) is the elder brother of Maggie and Pupert Pesky.  Aldrin is a popular and athletic student at Buzzdale Academy, and he often picks on his younger siblings, sometimes using Pupert in his schemes against Maggie.  Aldrin proudly wears his letterman jacket, with matching blue shoes and comfortable jeans.

Alan Scott was the first Green Lantern in the DC Universe and Comics. Unlike other Green Lanterns, his powers don’t come from the Guardians of the Universe, but from a magical entity called the Starheart. A founding member of the Justice Society of America, Alan was instrumental in numerous wartime battles. Use the yellow paint for the lines on the boots.

Trish Walker (played by Rachael Taylor) is a secondary protagonist in the television show Jessica Jones. She is driven and ambitious woman whose distaste for injustice has led her into dangerous situations over and over again. Her need to see justice served nearly pushes her into the antagonist role more than a few times and causes a lot of tension with Jessica and the other people in Trish’s life. But that’s a fine line to walk when Jessica is just as reckless and Marvel’s New York is a very dangerous place!

The key to cosplaying as Trish is to tap into her style. She favors blazers and silk blouses. She pairs these with leather pants and stilettos. She wears her long blonde hair either down or in a ponytail. And no matter what she wears she carries herself with an attitude just as fierce as her best friend’s.

Yushiro is a minor character in the hit anime Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba. When human, he stayed under the care of Lady Tamayo. Due to his illness, she gave him the choice to succumb or live longer as a Demon. He agreed to become a Demon, and has since been a loyal companion to Tamayo. He acts as an assistant and a bodyguard, which often becomes too aggressive. Yushiro is rude and arrogant towards others, with only admiration for Tamayo. He even calls Nezuko an eyesore! When Tanjiro comes to Tamayo for help, Yushiro eventually takes back his mean comments, given Tamayo exhibits kindness and hospitality towards them.
