Carbon Costume

Yokai is the main antagonist of Disney’s Big Hero 6. His real identity is Robert Callaghan, the head of a robotics program at San Fransokyo Institute of Technology. Under the masked alias of Yokai, he becomes a powerful supervillain who plots revenge against Krei Tech. He steals Hiro‘s microbots to weaponize them. It’s up to Hiro and his friends GoGo, Honey Lemon, Wasabi, Fred – plus Baymax, of course – to stop him!

Toge (voiced in Japanese by Koki Uchiyama and in English by Xander Mobus) is one of the secondary main characters in the anime/manga Jujutsu Kaisen.

He is one of the second-year students at Jujutsu High, along with Yuta, Maki, and Panda, as well as being a semi-grade 1 sorcerer. He’s shifted his way of speaking into using food terms, as his abilities are tied into using his voice as a weapon, and it’s the only way he can guarantee no one gets unnecessarily hurt.

Toge has greyish-blonde hair, worn in a short cropped style, and light lavender eyes. When we do see his mouth, you can see the marks indicating the cursed speech on the sides. He wears a high-collard version of the school’s uniform shirt in dark blue, with an openable front piece that let’s him use his speech ability. He wears a pair of capris in the same matching color, long black socks, and white ankle boots with gold detailing on the sole.

Shuichi (voiced in Japanese by Tomakazu Seki and in English by Rich McNanna) is the main character in the anime/manga series Gravitation.

He is the lead singer of the band he and his friend Hiro started when they were in High School, Bad Luck. He tends to be very prone to extreme bursts of emotions, especially when it comes to his career, and his tumultuous relationship with Eiri Yuki.

Shuichi (in the anime) is portrayed with fluffy, deep pink hair, and dark purple eyes. Throughout the series, he wears several outfits, but for this I’ve chosen a particular favorite of mine. He wears an orange hoodie with white drawstrings, capped with black spring caps, light green cargo shorts with suspenders worn loosely over them, white crew socks, and red shoes. (optional white t-shirt worn under the hoodie)

Painwheel (voiced by Izumi Kitta and Danielle McRae) is one of the eight original playable characters in the fighting game Skullgirls.  She was kidnapped and eventually transformed into her terrifying form by Valentine and Brain Drain.  Painwheel has brown hair that is mostly pulled back, though two pieces are left free to frame her face.  She also wears a creepy stitched mask with red eyes.  You can choose a full-face or half-face mask that is similar depending on your comfort level.  Painwheel’s clothing mostly consists of a high-neck sleeveless dress with thigh slits on both sides and cuffs around her wrists, ankles, and throat.  You can take a pair of scissors to your preferred dress to cut it to length.  A large part of Painwheel’s transformation is the weapon attached to her back, which resembles a large shuriken or a pinwheel, part of her namesake.  To recreate this aspect, you can purchase a replica oversized shuriken and attach it to your back or take a pair of costume wings and paint them metallic silver.  Lastly, paint your nails and draw dark veins using an eyeliner pencil.  You can also replicate the nails that stick out of her body using wooden golf tees and liquid latex to hold them in place.

Molly Davidson is from the movie Booksmart, and is played by Beanie Feldstein. Molly is one of the two protagonists of the film, the other being Amy Antsler, her best friend. This comedy takes place at the end of their senior year, where they attempt to experience things they haven’t in school like partying, but all in one night before graduation.

Molly wears fun layers in her outfits that really show us her personality. She is put together, very smart and accomplished but also outgoing and hilarious. She wears a smart turtleneck sweater but in bright yellow, a green plaid blazer and trendy skirt with tights. In her matching blue coverall jumpsuit with Molly, she personalized it with a handy leather fanny pack and patterned neck scarf.

Rachel Flax is a character from the 90s film Mermaids, and is played by Cher. Mermaids follows Rachel’s daughter Charlotte who is tired of her mother moving herself and her sister every time she feels like it, and when she thinks they will finally settle down in Massachusetts, she realizes she is more like Rachel than she thinks and they learn to grow and accept each other.

Rachel’s iconic and most known costume from the film is one that she wears to a costume party and is featured on the film’s poster. She dresses like a mermaid with a blue metallic skirt, and a pink corset with a seashell bra. She pairs this with a gold sequin cropped cardigan, mermaid headband with curled ribbons and sheer blue ruffled gloves.

Edith is best known from the 1975 documentary Grey Gardens. The documentary captures the odd everyday life of Edith and her daughter Little Edie, former wealthy socialites who live in their decaying Long Island estate together, where they never leave the house. We see their very eccentric and hilarious personalities as they reminisce on their younger years with the occasional singing and dancing.

Edith in most of this documentary is sitting in bed and covered in blankets, but she does have some key outfit moments. She is an older woman, so she sticks with comfortable clothing like sweaters, robes, slippers, sometimes just a towel, and a variety of fun sun hats-even inside the house!

For her Princes dress, Chibiusa (Chibimoon) wears her hair styled up in the same way as she does for the rest of her outfits, but has added on pearl hairpins worn in triple on either side of her bangs, and has a vibrant pink moon on her forehead, mirroring her mother’s.

Her princess dress is a very voluminous and ruffled light pink dress with a high waist trimmed by pearls, a scalloped bodice, and short, ruffled, sleeves. Like the other scouts, she also wears a teardrop necklace, with hers being a pink stone.

Olivia Rodrigo is a pop singer/songwriter whose music continues to skyrocket on the charts. Following the smash success of Sour, her first full length album, Olivia released her new single, “Vampire” just last week. Its promo photo featured two band-aids on her neck, and the aesthetics in the music video certainly allude to Twilight. The music video currently boasts 22 million views plus just over 50 million streams on Spotify. Good 4 u, Olivia!

Stein (voiced in Japanese by Yaya Uchida and in English by Chuck Huber) is one of the main characters in the anime/manga Soul Eater.

A mad scientist/doctor turned teacher, Stein is one of the more concerning characters in Soul Eater (which honestly says a lot), and is the former meister that worked with Maka’s dad, Spirit.

Stein has shaggy light grey hair, and darker-shaded golden eyes (it’s a tricky color to match, I’m sorry), that he wears glasses over. In his head in a large clicking screw, and he has large stitches on his body (in reference to his name). He wears a multi-toned grey shirt held together with large stitches, black pants, a stitched together white labcoat, and greyish-white shoes with similar detailing.
