Carbon Costume

La Brava (voiced in Japanese by Yui Horie and in English by Megan Shipman) is one of the secondary antagonists in the My Hero Academia/Boku no Hero Academia series.

She is a powerful hacker and loves Gentle Criminal, which leads to her being his main camerawoman, helping him create a larger online presence so that he’ll be more known as Gentle. Her quirk is love based, which she uses as a booster in fights, to give him a stronger advantage.

La Brava has very long red hair, worn up in two thick pigtails, and has light pink spiral eyes, which match the heart dangle earrings she wears. She wears a matching set of a long dark blue-ish purple top and leggings, the top decorated with pink buttons, with a large white bow worn around her neck, matching gloves with wide cuffs and pink detailing, poofy white striped pants with a heart cutout, a light brown waist corset with pink heart clasps, and black chunky heeled boots.

Yoosung Kim is a character in the otome game Mystic Messenger.  Yoosung doesn’t spend as much time studying for his college courses as he should because he plays the addictive computer game LOLOL.  Yoosung has dyed blonde hair that he pins back on one side with two hairpins.  Yoosung’s everyday outfit includes brown pants and shoes, a shirt with green, blue, and tan stripes, and a blue overshirt which he wears unbuttoned.  He accessorizes with several pins including a red star and yellow smiley face.

Javi is a character from the film The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, and is played by Pedro Pascal. The film follows Nicolas Cage (who plays himself), as he struggles financially and can’t book roles, until he gets the offer to appear at a wealthy fan’s birthday party-Javi and they both run into trouble. Javi is a character who first seems like a weirdly-obsessed and possibly selfishly-rich fan, who turns out to be a very genuine loyal person, and Pedro’s hilarious performance makes this even better.

This film takes place in the summer on an island, so Javi wears bright colors and summer pieces like his nice sunglasses, a white and grey striped shirt paired with a light blue blazer, a fun pair of green pants with a short sleeve brown striped shirt.

Miyako Gotokuji (voiced by Nami Miyahara and Marÿke Hendrikse) is one-third of the Powerpuff Girls in Demashita! Powerpuff Girls Z.  Miyako is popular at school, often the object of affection for boys in her grade.  She is friends with Momoko and Kaoru, who fight alongside her heroine alter-ego Rolling Bubbles.  Miyako’s crime-fighting costume consists of shades of blue.  You can recreate her look with a blue pleated dress and matching high tops paired with a letterman jacket you’ll need to cut the sleeves off.  Her accessories include a choker necklace, fingerless gloves, and a white belt.  You can add darker accents to her clothing with a fabric marker and use an iron on patch to add the letter “P” to her jacket.

Emerald Haywood is from the movie Nope by Jordan Peele, and is played by Keke Palmer. Emerald is the sister of OJ Haywood. They both run the company Haywood’s Hollywood Horses. 

Emerald has a very fun and unique style in all of her costumes. She wears lots of cool vintage pieces like graphic tees, cowboy boots, and is not afraid of bright pops of colors. She stands out beside her brother OJ and this shows her outgoing personality in comparison to him.

Elvis Cridlington (voiced by several actors including Steven Kynman and Andrew Hodwitz) is a character from the long-running BBC show Fireman Sam.  He is a firefighter at Pontypandy Fire Station.  Elvis is brave, but easily excitable, which can sometimes get him into trouble with his strict Station Officer.  Elvis dons several uniforms throughout the course of the series, so when crafting your costume, be sure to focus on finding reflective work gear in shades of blue and yellow.  No matter which season you choose to recreate, don’t forget your sturdy black boots and yellow helmet with face shield.

Tony Rydinger (voiced by Michael Bird) is a supporting character in Incredibles 2 and a love interest of Violet Parr.  Tony is a student who also works at Happy Platter.  Though Tony’s appearance in the second film is a bit different than in the first, his outfit remains mostly the same.  To create your costume, you’ll need white tennis shoes, brown slacks, and a dark navy blue turtleneck.  If you don’t have hair to match Tony’s, a wig can help you achieve a similar look.

Rosita (voiced by Reese Witherspoon) is part of the ensemble cast of Sing, an animated film that takes place in a world inhabited by anthropomorphic animals.  A weary mother of many children, Rosita decides to try out for a singing competition organized by koala Buster Moon.  She is chosen for the event, but Buster thinks her act needs a little more pizzazz, so he teams her up with enthusiastic performer Gunter.  Though hesitant at first, Rosita learns to enjoy the spotlight and shines during her performance of Taylor Swift‘s Shake It Off.  To recreate Rosita’s stage look, you’ll need to love all things black and glittery.  Start with a long-sleeved bodysuit and black pumps, then layer a fluffy skirt over top.  You’ll also need a balaclava and you can choose to add a pig nose and glittery cat ears to imitate her animal appearance in the film.  Use a pair of scissors to cut the balaclava and skirt to more closely match her costume from the movie.

Pearl is the main character from the A24 film by Ti West, and is played by Mia Goth. Pearl is the origin story of the previous film in West’s series, X.

Pearl is a character that is stuck living and working on her family’s farm in rural Texas. She longs for a glamorous life on the screen, like she sees in the movies and goes killer lengths to attempt to achieve this. Pearl’s usual attire consists of blue overalls, a blue shirt, and lace bows or a blue bandana. When she goes to audition for a film, she wears an all-red dress with puffy sleeves and a large blue denim bow.
