Carbon Costume

Elizabeth is a character from the new film May December, directed by Todd Hayes, and is played by Natalie Portman. May December is about an actress named Elizabeth that visits Gracie’s home to study her as she prepares to play her in a film role. The film takes place in Savannah, Georgia twenty years after a tabloid romance between Gracie and a much younger Joe Yoo.

Two recognizable looks that Elizabeth has is her look at the daughter of Gracie’s graduation which features a maxi white button-down dress and stylish black sunglasses. Another is her matching apron look with Gracie which is a floral and white apron and a white short sleeve dress. We see their costumes become more and more similar as Elizabeth spends time with her and begins to mimic her life in many ways.

Audrey Bertha (voiced by Stephanie Lemelin) is the main character of the animated series Harvey Girls Forever!  Her closest friends are Lotta and Dot.  Audrey is a tomboy with a penchant for inventing and a bit of a temper.  Her outfit consists of light blue sneakers, teal pants that she rolls up at the cuff, and a pink sweater with a green lightning bolt on it.  If you can find a sweater with a slightly darker, neckline, cuffs, and hem, it will be closer to the one Audrey wears on the show.  Otherwise, choose a plain pink one.  Add your lightning bolt with neon green fabric paint; just make sure you give it enough time to dry before you don your costume!

Dieter Bravo is a character from the comedy film The Bubble, and is played by Pedro Pascal. The Bubble follows a movie cast as they aim to create a blockbuster action film while quarantining at a hotel. Dieter is an experienced actor that is struggling with addiction and develops a love interest with a front desk worker at the hotel.

Dieter has two different kinds of looks, when he’s in quarantine in the hotel and his costume when he is on set filming the movie. In his room he wears a bathrobe, pajama pants, a t-shirt, and sunglasses. For his costume, he wears a red puffer jacket and black pants.

Usopp is a character in One Piece. He is a part of the Straw Hat Pirates led by Monkey D. Luffy. Boisterous yet loyal, Usopp specializes in marksmanship and invention. His goal is to become a brave, famous warrior of the sea, like his infamous pirate father, Yasopp. In the 2023 live action Netflix adaptation, Jacob Romero portrays Usopp.

Anyone But You is a new comedy/romance film directed by Will Gluck, and stars Sydney Sweeney as Bea and alongside her, Glen Powell as Ben. In the film, we follow the two characters as they have a successful first date that quickly turns upside down. They later unexpectedly run into each other at a wedding in Australia and pretend to be the perfect couple together.

Ben’s suit is perfect for summer and can easily be recreated. This look consists of a cream linen blazer, cream linen dress pants, a white button-down shirt, and boat/ deck shoes in a brown color.

Tiara (voiced in Japanese by Misaki Kuno and in English by Macy Anne Johnson) is part of the Minamoto family in the anime/manga Toilet Bound Hanako-Kun.

She is the youngest sibling of the family, and the only girl, but is much stronger than both of her brothers (Kou and Teru) despite being only 5 years old. Also able to see the spirits around her, she’s wrangled one of the Mokke into being her reluctant pet, subsequently naming it ‘Fairy’.

Tiara has vibrant multi-toned blueish teal eyes, and fluffy golden blonde hair that reaches down to her waist and is worn up in two tiny pigtails at the sides of her head. She appears to have a small set of fangs. For the main outfit we’ve seen for her so far in the anime, she wears a simple light green dress with frilled out partial sleeves and a matching lower hem. Her shoes are brown sandals with one flat strap across the end of her foot, and a little flower design across that.

Anyone But You is a new comedy/romance film directed by Will Gluck, and stars Sydney Sweeney as Bea and alongside her, Glen Powell as Ben. In the film, we follow the two characters as they have a successful first date that quickly turns upside down. They later unexpectedly run into each other at a wedding in Australia and pretend to be the perfect couple together.

Bea has two recognizable dress looks that can easily be recreated. One is a blue satin maxi dress with a draped neckline, and another is a pink maxi and flowy formal dress. She pairs both of these dresses with silver heels.

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. Felix is played by Jacob Elordi in the film.

Saltburn features an array of eccentric costumes fit for parties. One iconic costume that Felix wears is a pair of gold wings with a casual outfit that features a white tank top, relaxed-fit blue jeans and a blue nylon belt. Another look of his is a yellow linen lightweight shirt along with blue jeans.

Spider-Punk is a character voiced by Daniel Kaluuya from the movie Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. In this new animated film, we follow Brooklyn’s friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man as he travels across the Multiverse. One of the characters we meet is Spider-Punk, an alternate version of Hobie Brown and Spider-Man.

To re-create this alternative look, start with the classic Spider-Man costume. Next, layer the base costume pieces like the purple plaid pants, black leather vest, red boots with blue laces, and optionally a blue tee. There are many detail pieces you can add on top of this like different themed buttons/ pins including the British flag, metal spike studs to the vest, a studded belt, choker, and wristbands. Finally, add a taller variety of metal spike studs to the top of the head on the  Spider-Man costume.

Larxene (voiced in Japanese by Yūko Miyamura and in English by Shanelle Gray) is part of the main group of antagonists in the Kingdom Hearts game franchise.

She is number Twelve in Organization XIII, under the title of The Savage Nymph, and she works with electricity magic and small daggers. We see her as a Somebody in KHUX, previously called Elrena before becoming part of the Organization, and she went from that gentle-seeming character, to a rather sadistic woman.

Larxene has golden blonde hair that she wears heavily slicked back and down, with two little bits sticking out like antennae, and her eyes are a brilliant turquoise. She wears the same black cloak as the rest of the Organization, though hers is much more form fitting, as well as the pants she wears being more like leggings. The black gloves and boots are similar to the regular ones as well, though her boots are more styled into high heels.
