Carbon Costume

Jack is the main character from the film White Noise by Noah Baumbach, and is played by Adam Driver. The film is based on the original 1985 novel by Don DeLillo. This story follows college professor Jack Gladney and his family as they’re faced with “The Airborne Toxic Event.” They’re forced to evacuate their home and ultimately face their fear of death throughout the film and we see how each of them cope with this in their own ways. Jack is married to Babette and is a character that is passionate about his work, curious and eager to learn, and mild-mannered.

Jack has a strong contrast between some of his costumes in the film. When he is at work and giving lectures, he has a kind of persona that is almost theatrical, wearing a black doctorate robe paired with sunglasses which gives him a certain confidence in teaching. Outside of work, he dresses casually with a blue 80s windbreaker and always a funky patterned shirt.

The Mayor is a minor character in SpongeBob Squarepants: The Broadway Musical. A stage adaptation of the Nickelodeon cartoon, the show premiered on Broadway at the Palace Theater in 2017. As the name suggests, she is the Mayor of Bikini Bottom. Gaelen Gilliland portrayed the Mayor in the Broadway production.

Natalie Berzatto, nicknamed “Sugar”, is a character from the series The Bear and is played by Abby Elliot. The Bear is about a chef named Carmen, who has quit fine dining and returns to Chicago to try and fix the run down sandwich shop previously owned by his brother who passed. We follow his struggles in gaining respect from the previous kitchen staff while dealing with grief and the stressful environment all at once. In the series we also meet Natalie, who is Carmen’s sister. Natalie is very encouraging towards her brother, and really steps up and commits to helping the restaurant in season two, becoming a true part of the team.

Natalie in season two often dresses professionally, as she is handling the business side of remodeling the restaurant. She mostly sticks to jewel tones-greens, blues, and reds. When she isn’t handling the business side, she helps out with handy work where she can and there we see her in practical but stylish green coveralls.

Frances is played by Greta Gerwig and is the main character from the film Frances Ha, directed by Noah Baumbach. The film follows Frances as she navigates living in New York. We watch her face adulthood and try to achieve her dreams of becoming a dancer, but she seems to fall behind the people her age in areas like having her own apartment, a stable job, and being okay with not living with her best friend Sophie that achieves this before she does.

This film is entirely in black in white, but her personality still shines through in what pieces Frances chooses to wear. She is a big outfit-repeater, usually wearing a floral dress with leggings underneath, her signature bomber jacket with a fur collar, and without the jacket she wears a white cardigan around her waist to make her stand out against the also-gray background she’s in. When she gets her office job with the dance company in the end, she dresses professionally in a knee-length skirt and the white button down we see her wear previously that fits perfectly into her new look.

Will (played by Seth Rogen) is one half of the friendly duo at the heart of the Apple TV show Platonic.  Will works as a brewmaster for Lucky Penny, a brewery funded primarily by his ex-wife’s step-brother.  He reconnects with Sylvia following his divorce and briefly dates Peyton.  Will dresses pretty outlandishly throughout the series, including donning a bright red jumpsuit following a trip to chain restaurant Johnny 66.  Will wears hip glasses and woven slip-on shoes with most of his outfits, including a green bomber jacket with the Lucky Penny logo on the back and his name embroidered on the front.

Barbara Howard is from the TV series Abbott Elementary and is played by Sheryl Lee Ralph. Barbara is a Kindergarten teacher at the elementary school in the series. She is a kind character that mostly sticks to a traditional way of teaching. Janine Teagues looks up to her for her ability to tackle any situation.

Barbara has a school-appropriate and classy while still stylish approach to her everyday fashion. You’ll usually see her in a patterned blouse, a cardigan, sometimes a matching scarf and often a pearl necklace.

Charlotte is a character from the 90s film Mermaids, and is played by Winona Ryder. Mermaids follows Charlotte who is tired of her mother Rachel moving her family every time she feels like it, and when she’s thinks they will finally settle down in Massachusetts, she realizes she is more like her mother than she thinks and they learn to grow and accept each other.

Charlotte in the beginning of the film is obsessed with living a religious lifestyle, different from her mother and therefore dresses very conservatively like her costume with a black dress, white lace collar, and always a black headband and cross necklace, or her yellow cardigan and gray pleated skirt. Later in the film when she becomes rebellious, she takes her mothers iconic pink retro dotted dress and tries to dress and act like her.

Umbrella Renoir (voiced by Ayaka Shimizu and Cassandra Lee Morris) is a character from the Skullgirls video game franchise.  Umbrella is the younger sister of Parasoul.  Umbrella is rather short with light pink hair.  She wears a yellow ensemble that includes a raincoat, rain hat, and rain boots.  She wields the Living Weapon Hungren; a purple umbrella with monster eyes. To recreate Hungren, take a purple golf umbrella and glue creepy monster eyes onto it with a glue gun.

Usagi is seen in the Princess Serenity in various points of the story, and in a fair amount of the manga art, she is seen with white hair, instead of her usual blonde, though her eyes remain the same blue.

For this outfit, she has a golden moon on her forehead instead of her usual Sailor Moon tiara, pearl stud earrings with a matching bracelet and hair pins, and a long, high waisted white dress, with intricate gold and pearl details, and swirled sleeves.

Sharon (voiced by Kana Hanazawa) is one of the secondary main characters in the anime/manga series Pandora Hearts.

She is first introduced at Oz’s coming of age ceremony, and ends up being a consistent character throughout the rest of the story. She is from the Rainsworth dukedom, and after the timeskip she is shown to have joined Pandora and is contracted to the chain Equus, which prevents her from outwardly aging.

Sharon has almost creamsicle orange colored hair, worn long and tied up in the back with a large red ribbon bow, and soft pinkish-red eyes. She has a variety of outfits throughout the series, though we often see her in this full-bodied purple dress, with large and intricate ruffles and bow details scattered across. The only shot I could find of her shoes was from the manga, but they’re a pinkish-purple heel, with little pink bows lining down the top.
