Carbon Costume

Kirimi (voiced in Japanese by Kurumi Mamiya and in English by Cherami Leigh) is a side character in the anime/manga series Ouran High School Host Club.

She is Umehito Nekozawa’s five year old little sister, and isn’t seen very much over the course of the story, as he is also somewhat of a side character. She’s got a rather intense phobia of cats, and a fondness for shojo mangas, so it takes her a bit to get used to the fact that her brother is the exact opposite, as well him being very into the occult. We do see a small glimpse of them a bit later in the series, where she has embraced the exact same passions as him, and is seen wearing a matching black cloak.

Kirimi has very big, vibrant blue eyes, and long blonde hair worn up in twin pigtails, topped with little pink hair bows. She is most often seen wearing what is presumably her school uniform, with a white sailor top with pink and peach accents, and a matching peach skirt. Her socks are rolled white ruffled short ones, and then dark peach Mary Janes to match the rest of the uniform.

Chappell Roan is a rising singer-songwriter that has a unique style when it comes to her stage costumes. She is inspired by drag and isn’t afraid to go all out glam in her performances. Her fans have taken a love to her style and share their concert-going costumes and outfits online where they show off their creativity by recreating her looks and making their own.

One recent look of hers is from her NPR Tiny Desk performance. To create this, wear a pink short dress, pink gloves, a pink and silver butterfly necklace, silver tiara, and red teased-up wig. In the wig, wear various silver butterfly clips throughout. For makeup wear a white foundation, blue eyeshadows, light pink and peach blush, pink lipstick, and purple lip liner.

Maurecia (voiced by Denise Oliver) is a character from the animated movie and TV series Wayside.  She is a student in Mrs. Jewls‘ class, is friends with Myron and Dana, and has a huge crush on Todd.  Maurecia is a bit of a tomboy and prefers rollerblading as her primary mode of transportation.  Maurecia has long indigo hair she often wears in a ponytail beneath her pink helmet with purple flames.  Her clothing consists of a fuchsia shirt and a blue pleated skirt.  A pair of pink high-top sneakers will do the trick if you aren’t ready to commit to blading everywhere.  Add purple flame decals to your helmet to put the finishing touches on your costume.

Mikhail [Misha] (voice in Japanese by Mikako Komatsu and in English by Bryson Baugus) is one of the main partial antagonists in the latter part of the anime/manga series, The Case Study of Vanitas by Jun Mochizuki.

He is Vanitas’ younger brother, despite not being blood related, and the two of them were test subjects for artificial vampirism at the same time, before being rescued by the Vampire of the Blue Moon.

Misha has short, shaggy white hair, and very light blue eyes. He wears a peacoat styled military-like jacket in blues and blacks, with a black, off-shoulder, capelet worn to one side to slightly hide his metal hand. The jacket is worn over very small black shorts, and he wears diamond patterned gartered socks, over top of fancy detailed grey and blue shoes.

Argylle is a new spy movie by Matthew Vaughn and follows Elly Conway, an author who’s novels begin to mirror the actions of a real spy organization, and she has to try and get ahead to stop it. Someone that turns up to save Elly is a spy named Aidan, played by Sam Rockwell.

To dress like Aidan, wear a brown faux leather jacket, or a brown corduroy jacket, with a white tee, relaxed fit blue jeans, and a brown messenger bag.

Ariana recently came out with a brand-new song and music video called “We Can’t Be Friends”, and fans have been raving about all the references in it, including her costumes. Part of the video references the 2004 film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Throughout the video she is erasing her memories of a previous relationship from her mind. One of the coats she wears, a denim long jacket with fur lining, is the same one worn in the original film by Kate Winslet who plays Clementine.

To dress like Ariana in this video, wear a denim jacket with fur lining, denim pleated skirt, and gray shirt with a cut-out neckline. This can be created by wearing a v-neck gray top, or taking a scoop neck gray shirt and cutting a triangle right under the neckline. For the V-Neck shirt, you also could cut a strip from the bottom of the shirt and sew/ attach it back at the neckline. She also has a pink streak in her hair and white eye makeup which can be done with a white eye-pencil or liner.

Chappell Roan is a rising singer-songwriter that has a unique style when it comes to her stage costumes. She is inspired by drag and isn’t afraid to go all out glam in her performances. Her fans have taken a love to her style and share their concert-going costumes and outfits online where they show off their creativity by recreating her looks and making their own.

One look that would be great to recreate is from her music video for one of her breakout songs Pink Pony Club. To create this look, wear an embellished denim jacket and either glue or sew on more metallic fringe and trims. Under that wear a white bodysuit or leotard like the one here with fringe, and add more trim to the piece and the hem at the legs. Pair this with silver fringe cowboy boots and a white cowboy hat.

Tsuyu (voiced in Japanese by Aoi Yūki and in English by Monica Rial) is one of the partial main characters in the anime/manga series My Hero Academia.

She is a student in class 1-A at UA High School, along with Izuku and the others, and is in training to become a pro-hero named Froppy. Her Quirk, Frog, lets her recreate frog-like behaviors, including sticky climbing, extending her tongue to extreme lengths, and camouflage, among many others. During the internships part of the series, she trained under Selkie, with the Oki Mariner Crew, who she also ended up teaming up with again while doing a work study under Ryukyu.

Tsuyu has very long dark green hair, that she generally ends up wearing tied in some sort of bow-type style, and huge eyes with black centers. Her outfit is the standard UA uniform, with the white button up shirt tied with a red tie, worn with a grey blazer with green and gold detailing, and the same tealy-green for the skirt. The rest of it is finished off with black, knee-high socks, and brown loafers. If you would like to see how to make her pro-hero outfit, please see this article here!

Beyonce recently released a new album called Cowboy Carter that is inspired by country music and the south that has of course been very successful online. Following her last tour for her Renaissance album, fans have already started creating looks for a possible new tour that have a western flare. One of the things fans love to do and share online are their recreations of Beyonce’s looks. In this I’ll be covering how to recreate one of the first all-western outfits she wore around promoting the new album at the 2024 Grammy Awards.

To create this look, wear a white cowboy hat, blonde wig, white button-down shirt, a black western bow tie at the collar, a black leather jacket or blazer, black leather shorts, and black pointed heels. To make this look even more identical take rhinestones and add them to the bow tie and jacket and shorts to replicate the checkered pattern. Rhinestones can be placed with black E6000 glue for the cleanest results.
