Carbon Costume

Rose DeWitt Bukater (played by Kate Winslet) is the aristocratic woman who falls in love with Jack Dawson and eventually takes his name in James Cameron’s film Titanic.  Rose comes from a wealthy family who falls on hard times after her father’s death, and is pressured to marry a wealthy man by her mother so they can maintain their lavish lifestyle.  Rose wears many incredible costumes throughout the film.  When she first boards the ill-fated titular ship, she dons a stylish pinstriped outfit with rich purple accents.  A replica dress is your best way to pull off this signature look.  You can add your own details to the base to achieve the full ensemble.  This includes a dark purple hat with a striped taffeta ribbon, which you can replicate yourself by adding a bow to a wool hat.  You’ll also need a white collared shirt, dark necktie, and gold pin.  Rose’s accessories include white leather gloves, purple drop earrings, and a purple parasol she uses as a cane.  A golf umbrella can do the trick for the latter, or you can forgo the accessory entirely.

Shinoa has fluffy lavender hair that reaches just past her shoulders, that she mostly wears back in an intricate braid circle, tied with a purple ribbon. Her eyes are a reddish pink.
She wears an alternate version of the usual Demon Army uniform, in the same green and black colors, but hers is a uniform top with a deep pink ribboned tie at the top, and a small skirt.

President Barbie is played by Issa Rae in the new movie Barbie by Greta Gerwig. President Barbie exists in the Barbie world in the film, and is leader over the pink utopia with her all-female team.

President Barbie’s look isn’t a traditional presidential one.

She wears a gorgeous poofy pink princess dress with gold details. She always wears a pink sash that says president over every outfit.

Weird Barbie, played by Kate McKinnon is from the new Barbie movie, by Greta Gerwig. Weird Barbie is based off of those Barbies that you may have had when you were a kid that you played with too hard, like cutting their hair and drawing on them with markers. Gerwig revealed that in the movie she is an all-knowing kind of character like The Giver and lives separately from the other Barbies in her own wacky house.

To dress like this hilarious character, use bright fabric paint on a pink puffy dress, a short blonde wig to cut up unevenly and add blue and pink hair chalk, face paint crayons, and pair with tall patterned boots.

Greg Hirsch, played by Nicholas Braun, is from the series Succession. Greg is the cousin of the Roy siblings and works his way up in the huge family company that is Waystar Royco. He has the most endearing personality in the show because of his nervousness and least corrupt behavior in the family. Tom Wambsgans becomes his mentor and friend that is a joy to watch in the show, and a hilarious duo.

Greg’s style changes throughout the season as he makes his way up the company. He started at the very bottom- fired from a theme park where he would dress pretty sloppy but as he gains wealth and finds a place at Waystar, his haircuts become cleaner and he begins wearing sharp suits. There are in-between stages where layering is used where you can really see this transition and growth with a combination of some old pieces that he is still holding onto, and new pieces as he begins to get paid more and more.

Tom Wambsgans played by Matthew MacFadyen, is from the series Succession. Tom is married to one of Logan Roy’s children, Siobhan “Shiv” Roy. He works for Waystar Royco and is ambitious in the way he is always working to grow in the company and becomes very successful in that. He becomes a mentor, friend, and ‘Disgusting Brother’ to Greg Hirsch, which creates a hilarious duo to watch.

Tom’s style is a classic and simple one. He doesn’t stand out from the crowd and the rest of the company, but is always dressed appropriately in every occasion. He wears lots of navy blue suits, and ties in certain instances. For more casual events he tends to wear a simple nice vest over a dress shirt, and in both cases, always a watch. His style throughout the series really shows that he is a true underdog and quietly works his way up to the top.

Jacuzzi (voiced in Japanese by Daisuke Sakaguchi and in English by Joel McDonald) is one of the secondary main characters in the anime/light novel series Baccano!

He leads a gang along with his girlfriend, Nice, and despite being a very big crybaby, he is a fantastic leader.

He has short light brown hair with flopped bangs, and similarly colored eyes, with a sword shaped mark wrapped around his right one, all the way across his face. Jacuzzi wears a light grey button up shirt, with a brown, yellow-lined striped vest over top, khaki pants, and loafers.

Vincent (voiced in Japanese by Jun Fukuyama) is one of the secondary main characters in the anime/manga Pandora Hearts.

He is Gilbert Nightray’s younger brother, and is contracted to the Dormouse Chain. He has an easily switched on enthusiasm for violence, including slicing things up with scissors.

Vincent has long, fluffy golden hair, and two toned eyes, one red, one gold. The teardrop earrings he wears accentuates the red one. He wears a black robe-like outfit, with a white underpiece, and a black capelet-like top. This is finished off with black boots with golden toe tips, and white gloves.

Kevin Levin (voiced by Charlie Schlatter) is a character in the Cartoon Network series Ben 10.  He is an Osmosian who is at first an enemy of Ben Tennyson, though the two eventually become allies. Kevin has several different looks throughout the series.  His Omniverse appearance is a little grungier and more tattered than others.  To make your costume, you’ll need to be willing to distress a black t-shirt and a green striped long-sleeved shirt to wear beneath it.  Use a brown eyeliner pencil to recreate the scar on Kevin’s chin and a black one to smudge around your eyes.  Finish the look with a black wig, distressed jeans, black and white shoes, a blue shoulder harness, and a padlock necklace.
