Carbon Costume

Kaoru Matsubara (voiced by Machiko Kawana and Kelly Metzger) is a member of the titular crime-fighting group in Demashita! Powerpuff Girls Z.  Karoru is athletic and popular, but often feels disconnected from her friends Momoko and Miyako because of her lack of interest in typically girly things including clothes and love stories.  Kaoru’s color palette consists of green and yellow, and her alter ego Powered Buttercup wears a green dress, green shoes, and a yellow vest.  To recreate her look, you can cut the sleeves off a letterman jacket and add your own letter “P.”  You can also use navy blue and green fabric paint to add details to the dress and alter the white parts of the jacket to green, though you’ll still be recognizable even if you don’t feel like busting out a paintbrush.

Alice (voiced in the movie by Kugimiya Rie) is the main playable character/protagonist of the Heart no Kuni no Alice/Alice in the Country of Hearts dating game series/movie.

As it is an Alice in Wonderland-inspired series, she is very much the typical Alice design, but is a much more dynamic character, and is an actual developed character unlike a lot of faceless dating game protagonists.

Alice has muted golden blonde hair, worn almost in a hime-cut, and blue eyes to match the rest of the blue in her outfit. She has a blue and gold hairbow, a blue wristband, a gold detailed Alice-like dress with a white collar, that she wears a lacy white apron over, with blue and white knee-high stockings, and red maryjanes with overlapping ballet laces.

Old Man Jenkins 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. Old Man Jenkins is an elderly, disgruntled fish. J.C. Schuster portrayed Old Man Jenkins in the Broadway production.

In the indie platformer game Only Up!, Jackie must climb, literally, out of a junkyard and up the world to escape from poverty. Jackie’s name is inspired by the folktale Jack and the Beanstalk, where a boy climbs high enough to pass through the clouds. No word on if the namesake wore a t-shirt promoting NFTs though — as Jackie does with his Goblintown hoodie.

Natsuhiko (voiced in Japanese by Mizushima Takahiro and in English by Aaron Dismuke) is part of the broadcasting team in the anime/manga series Toilet Bound Hanako-Kun.

He is part of the Broadcasting Club at Kamome Academy, along with his crush Sakura, as well as the two supernaturals that often are seen there, Tsukasa and Mitsuba. While not fully personally intent on impeding Nene and her friends in their quests, he will do just about anything that Sakura asks, whatever it may be.

Natsuhiko has short, messy, red-orange hair worn in an undercut style, and grey eyes. He wears the usual Kamome school uniform, but with the outer sleeves rolled up, a long sleeved teal-ish shirt under it, cuffed off uniform pants with a belt, yellow-green ankle socks, the school shoes, and he finishes it off with two necklaces and a pair of stud earrings.

Jotaro Kujo is a supporting character in Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable. He last appears as the protagonist of Stardust Crusaders. Jotaro visits the small town of Moiroh, Japan in search of his uncle, Josuke. He reveals that Josuke is part of the Joestar bloodline, which means he has a Stand. Although Jotaro makes the fatal mistake of insulting his hair, resulting in a brief battle between their Stands: Shining Diamond and Star Platinum. Jotaro becomes a close ally and mentor for Josuke as well as his friend Koichi Hirose.

In Mystic Messenger, Unknown (real name Saeran Choi) is the twin brother of 707 and an acolyte of the cult Mint Eye. In terms of appearance, he has mint color eyes, and vermillion-colored hair with frosted pink highlights. He wears a black leather jacket that he tends to let hang off his right shoulder.

Doppio is the main antagonist in JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind. On the outside, he appears as a timid, nervous teenager, but he can fly off the handle into a rage. This is because he actually possesses a split personality with Diavolo, the ruthless mafia Boss. He helps Diavolo act undetected by taking orders over the phone – yet the phone can sometimes be strange objects. While it’s uncertain if he’s a Stand user, Doppio is able to partly wield the Boss’ stand, King Crimson. Use scissors to crop and create the tears of his sweater. Affix the gold buttons below the belt and at the ankles.

Amber Freeman (Mikey Madison) is an antagonist in the fifth Scream film, Scream (2022).  The film takes place 25 years after the original Ghostface murders committed by Billy Loomis and Stu Macher. Now there’s a new generation of teenagers for a new Ghostface to target. Amber is a friend of the protagonist, Samantha Carpenter, but spoiler – she’s revealed as the Ghostface killer, along with her accomplice, Richie. Since Billy Loomis is Samantha’s father, the two antagonists plan to also target the legacy characters. Though in the end, with the help of former characters Sidney Prescott and Gale Weathers, Samantha takes Amber and Richie down.

David Byrne’s American Utopia is a musical show that was on Broadway and released as a live recording in 2020 to HBO Max, directed by Spike Lee. In this show, Talking Heads’ David Byrne leads the way with international musicians as they put on a rock spectacle about art, openness and faith in humanity on a minimalist and bold background. Byrne performs songs you may be familiar with like Burning Down the House, Road to Nowhere, Glass, Concrete & Stone, and more.

David Byrne, like the rest of the artists on stage, wears an all-gray suit with a gray shirt-but loose enough to dance in. Pair this with a stage mic, prop brain, and leave the shoes out this time for this costume!
