Carbon Costume

Missy Kix is a character from the online role-playing game Moshi Monsters.  A celebrity from Moshimo City, Missy Kix also claims to be a secret agent.  She has light pink skin and darker pink hair she wears in a ponytail with yellow highlights at the front of her side swept bangs.  To create your Missy Kix costume, you’ll need striped leggings and a striped long-sleeved shirt in blue, red, and black.  Layer a black skirt and purple t-shirt with a pirate cat design over those, and then wear a black short-sleeved shirt unbuttoned.  Accessorize your look with chunky pink socks, a bright pink wig, black fingerless gloves, and pale pink sunglasses.  Lastly, make sure to grab a pair of red and white sneakers.

Blathers is a character from the Nintendo game Animal Crossing. He is an owl that resides at the local museum in the game and accepts different items to add to it. He is a smart and friendly character that sleeps during the day just like any owl would.

To dress like Blathers, wear a brown argyle sweater vest, brown pants, striped red and yellow socks, a green bow tie and a brown dress shirt. If you want to go even further, make wings out of fabric and a yellow beak.

Matthias (voiced by Tyrone Savage in the TV series) is a character from the Redwall series of books written by Brian Jacques and adapted for television.  Matthias is an orphan and an eventual successor of Martin the Warrior.  Matthias is a brown mouse who favors shades of green and brown in his clothing.  You can create his look in one of two ways.  First, you can choose a brown animal onesie and wear a green long-sleeved and brown tunic over that.  You’ll also need a satchel and sword for this option.  You can also choose to wear a set of green robes with a half-face mask.  For this look, you’ll need a long wooden staff.

Olive is one of the characters in the film Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, based off of the book by Ransom Riggs. This movie is directed by Tim Burton and it definitely is fitting in its style. Olive is played by Lauren McCrostie.

Olive is one of the children at the home and her special power is the ability to create fire in her hands. To dress like Olive, wear a pink floral printed dress, white heels, black gloves to mimic her fire-resistant ones, and a shawl.

In Step Brothers (2008), Brennan Huff (Will Ferrell) is a 39 year old still living at home depending on his mother. When she marries a widowed father, Brennan must come to terms with his new 40-year-old step brother Dale. Initially they’re fierce, territorial rivals, but soon discover that they’ve become best friends.

Fuyumi (voiced in Japanese by Kei Shindō and in English by Kate Oxley) is a secondary character in the anime/manga series My Hero Academia.

She is the second oldest of the Todoroki siblings, and the only daughter. Despite having a quirk like her brothers (hers being ice only), she didn’t go towards a hero profession and instead became an elementary school teacher.

Fuyumi looks very visually similar to her mother, with long white hair, though it’s flecked with red stripes from her dad’s color. Her eyes are turquoise in the manga, but they were changed to gray in the anime. She has a wide variety of outfits she’s seen in throughout the series, but they’re all relatively in the same style. For this one she wears a white polo shirt, a deep burgundy open front cardigan, slate grey slacks, a black belt, and white and grey-blue sneakers.

Tigris is a character from the new Hunger Games film: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes and is played by Hunter Schafer. The Hunger Games series of films are based off of the original books by Suzanne Collins. This film takes place 64 years before the original Hunger Games we know. In this new film, we get to see Coriolanus Snow at 18 years old who is assigned to mentor Lucy of District 12 as the 10th annual Hunger Games approaches. Tigris is the cousin of Coriolanus Snow and lives with him in The Capitol. She has an interest and talent in fashion and helps Snow with some of his outfits as well as being there for him emotionally throughout the story.

One look Tigris wears is this all-pink suit costume. To recreate this, wear a pink blazer, pink pencil skirt, pink v-neck blouse, a pink hair fascinator, and blue heels. Add lots of pink blush to complete the look.

Saltburn is a new film by Emerald Fennel that follows Oliver Quick as he stays in his rich classmate Felix’s estate, and a series of horrifying events occur. Venetia Catton is Felix’s sister and has a fling with Oliver at, and is played by Alison Oliver. She’s a character with lots of personality and at first seems shallow until we get to know her character more.

To create Venetia’s iconic pink look for yourself, wear a glittery purple dress or jumpsuit, pink cat-eye sunglasses, and layer over it a pink fun and party-ready tinsel jacket.
