Carbon 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.

Saltburn is a new film by Emerald Fennel that follows Oliver Quick (played by Barry Keoghan) as he stays in his rich classmate Felix’s estate, and a series of horrifying events occur.

Saltburn features an array of eccentric costumes fit for parties. One iconic costume that Oliver wears is this white suit with deer antlers to a Midsummer Night’s Dream themed party. To create this costume wear a printed white blazer or hand paint your own pattern on a solid white blazer with fabric paint. Pair this with white dress pants, a brown belt, green shoes, and of course a headband with deer antlers.

This costume is from I Think You Should Leave, a sketch comedy show created by Tim Robinson and Zach Kanin. Its third season debuted on Netflix this year. Robinson’s character offers his number to colleagues to be their designated driver. When a co-worker takes him up on the offer, he announces himself as The Driving Crooner. He has car decals of a fedora and cigar so onlookers can understand his persona. Yet the speed traffic and other drivers cause him anxiety – they’re trying to make it look fake. He wonders how he’s ever going to make any money off of this.

In Midnight Horror Story, Liddy is a kind-hearted and popular student, and one who’s not afraid to speak her mind. Liddy is a broken organ during the daytime, as hinted by the keyboard keys sticking out of her head. Complete her look with purple pigtails, a purple and pink striped sweater, and red skirt.

Bella Baxter (played by Emma Stone) is the main character of Yorgos Lanthimos’ film Poor Things.  Reanimated by Dr. Godwin Baxter, Bella is eager to learn all there is to know and embarks on an adventure to do just that with a lawyer named Duncan Wedderburn.  Bella has long black hair and is often awkward or unorthodox in her movements and speech.  She wears many fantastical costumes throughout the film, including a long dusty pink skirt with a ruffle blouse and white shoes, a black puff sleeve jacket with grey socks and black boots, and yellow shorts with the same ruffled blouse and a puff sleeve cropped jacket.  If you can’t find an exact match for some of her more outrageous costume pieces, don’t be afraid to find something similar.  Complete your look with a long black wig and black eyebrow pencil.

Zoro is a character in One Piece. His full name is Roronoa Zoro. He is a part of Monkey D. Luffy’s crew. is an accomplished bounty hunter and master swordsman. His goal is to become the world’s greatest swordsman. His signature sword fighting style is the “Three Swords Style” which involves a sword in each hand and the third in his mouth.

Erika is one of the two main characters in the 2004 animated Barbie movie, Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper. Both roles are played by Barbie. Erika is the “pauper” character in contrast to Princess Anneliese. Although she works to pay off her parents’ debt at the dress supplier for the palace, Erika dreams of becoming a singer and traveling the world. Upon a chance meeting, Anneliese and Erika learn that they are identical, and impersonate each other to fulfill their wishes. After falling in love and marrying King Dominick, she becomes Queen Erika.

The Great Muppet Caper sees everyone’s favorite muppet, Kermit the Frog (voiced by Jim Henson), as a reporter who travels to London with his identical twin brother Fozzie Bear to investigate a jewel thief.  Gonzo joins as their photographer.  Kermit maintains his signature bipedal frog appearance, green skin and all.  However, his reporter personality shines through in his costume, which consists of a beige trilby hat and matching trench coat over striped trousers, a button down shirt, and a blue bow tie.  You’ll need some double-sided tape to help keep your hat on your Kermit mask.  Complete the look with green gloves and shoes.

Hayden Christensen appears in behind-the-scenes footage in the Darth Vader costume during the filming of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. Revenge of the Sith is Episode III and takes place three years into the Clone Wars, and we follow Anakin as he embraces the Dark Side. This look in particular would make such a fun and niche costume or cosplay that others may not think of, and dedicated fans might recognize.

The costume features the iconic Darth Vader costume, but without the helmet. Instead of the helmet, Hayden wears a black Nike sweatband on his head.
