Carbon Costume

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

OJ has a very practical wardrobe and is not really concerned with style but how what he wears will serve him best. He wears lots of work wear like blue jeans and sturdy boots, paired with shirts from their own company and productions they have worked on. He stands out beside his sister Emerald and this shows his more reserved and serious personality compared to hers.

Karnov, short from Jinborov Karnovski, is circus strongman from Soviet Central Asia. He’s on a quest to find the ultimate treasure. He must run, jump, and shoot fireballs to get past the monks, djinns, fish men, and other monsters who stand in his way.

Dudley Do-Right (voiced by Bill Scott in the cartoon from the Rocky and Bullwinkle Show and played by Brendan Fraser in the live-action comedy) is a lovable member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.  Dudley means well and works hard, but is perhaps not the sharpest tool in the Mounties’ shed.  When creating your Dudley Do-Right costume, you’ll first want to make sure you start with the signature red jacket worn as part of his uniform.  The original cartoon iteration of Dudley also has a red hat, black boots, and blue pants that puff out around his hips.  The live-action version wears striped pants, brown gloves and boots, a tan hat, and a cross-body holster.

In Twin Peaks, Wally Brando (Michael Cera) is the son of Andy and Lucy Brennan. After years of life on the road, he returns to his hometown of Twin Peaks to deliver a moving monologue: “My family, my friend, I’ve criss-crossed this great land of ours countless times. I hold the map of it here, in my heart, next to the joyful memories of the carefree days I spent, as a young boy, here in your beautiful town of Twin Peaks.”

Wally not only shares a name with his namesake, but has the same birthday and Marlon Brando’s biker look from “The Wild One”. To complete the look, get Wally stitched in cursive on the chest of the leather jacket, or apply puffy white fabric paint as a shortcut.

Serial Designation N (voiced by Michael Kovach) is a kindly Disassembly Drone who befriends Uzi Doorman in the web series Murder Drones.  The two then work together to stop Serial Designation J from eradicating the Worker Drones.  N, as he is commonly known, wants nothing more than to be useful, and empathizes with Uzi and her fellow Worker Drones where other Disassembly Drones do not.  N wears a long coat over his white drone body.  His eyes and lights that halo his silver hair glow yellow.  You can recreate this by adding glow-in-the-dark stickers to a black chauffeur’s cap and wearing light-up glasses.  N also has a long black tail that ends in a syringe.  Use hazard tape to add some details to your costume.

In Paris, Texas, Travis Henderson (Harry Dean Stanton) is found wandering the West Texas desert in a weather-beaten suit, worn out shoes, and red cap. Throughout the movie he wears clothes like this, mostly browns and tans in traditional western clothes, complemented with a bright red hat or shirt. It eventually is revealed that his troubles have something to do with his missing wife Jane.

Anthony is from the popular regency drama series Bridgerton, played by Jonathan Bailey. He is in both seasons of the show, and is one of the two main characters in the second season, playing the love interest of Kate Sharma.

Anthony is the eldest son and Viscount of the Bridgerton family. He wears Regency-Era costumes that feature double-breasted vests, tailcoats, white shirts, caravats, and the occasional top hat. The colors he wears are lots of blues and purples, that complement Kate’s perfectly on screen.

Wes Anderson is the director of the 2012 film Moonrise Kingdom. Moonrise Kingdom is about 12 year olds Sam and Suzy on the island of New Penzance. We follow them as they decide to run away together and the adults of the film try to find them. This quirky film has very distinct costumes, just like all of his films. They’re very unique, detailed, and almost doll-like. On this film set, Wes wore his iconic brown corduroy two-piece suit. He pairs this with a colorful plaid shirt, sweater, and green plaid scarf. He dresses like he fits right into the environments that he so meticulously creates.

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.
