Carbon Costume

In Fullmetal Alchemist, Shou Tucker is the Sewing-Life Alchemist. Edward Elric and Colonel Roy Mustang pay a visit to his estate, where they meet him and his young daughter Nina. The clothes and shoes are self-explanatory, but if you haven’t figured it out, we’ll leave the dog and wig to your imagination.

In the 2017 adaptation of Murder on the Orient Express, Mrs. Hubbard (Michelle Pfeiffer) is an educated, outspoken American widow on a tour of Europe. Her clothing is eclectic and reflects her loud, ostentatious personality.

A favorite henchman among James Bond fans, Jaws (Richard Kiel) is a brute of a man, tall and strong, with signature metal teeth that can cut through steel. He appears in two films: The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker, working for different villains in each one. In The Spy who Loved Me he never sided with Bond, but in Moonraker he meets a girl named Dolly and decides to join forces with Bond against his employer. While Jaws usually appears in a suit, go for his more distinctive look of shirt and suspenders to really make an impression.

In Digimon Adventure 02, Tai Kamiya is Kari’s older brother who was the original leader of the Digidestined. He now attends high school and has given up his goggles to Davis.

In the 2017 adaptation of Murder on the Orient Express, Ratchett (Johnny Depp) is a wealthy American criminal who fears for his life upon boarding the train. Because he deals in art forgeries, the costume designer chose clothing that would be elegant and upscale, but mismatched and out of place in Europe at the time.

The Aviator chronicles the career and downfall of Howard Hughes. For a brief period, he was dating Hollywood Starlet Katherine Hepburn (Cate Blanchett), who managed to ease the symptoms of his worsening obsessive-compulsive disorder. Still regarded as an important cultural icon and the epitome of the “modern woman” in the 20th century, Katherine Hepburn deviated from traditional gender roles by shunning marriage, dating younger men, playing sports, and wearing trousers before it was fashionable or acceptable to do so. The film takes place between the 1920’s and the 1940’s, but her fashion is comprised of over-sized menswear in bold colors and patterns.

In GLOW, Viking the Viking (Marianna Palka) is the pro wrestling persona of Reggie Walsh, an Olympic wrestling medalist. She’s originally given the star role of Liberty Belle, but loses it to Debbie due to her lack of personality.

In It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Ongo Gablogian is an alias of Frank Reynolds (Danny Devito), a white-haired art collector with undetermined accent who’s more than a little reminiscent of Andy Warhol. He’s not one to shy away from calling out art that he feels is derivative.

In season 10 of the TV show Supernatural, the boys unleash the Darkness: the origin of the universe and, if she has her way, the end of it. The Darkness manifests as a beautiful, sensual woman named Amara (Emily Swallow), who claims to be the sister of God. She intends to consume the universe, returning it to the original blissful state in which it began. She dresses in a revealing long black dress and sports the distinctive Mark of Cain on her shoulder.

Turns out there’s more to Mariette.
