Carbon Costume

Clawdeen Wolf is a character from the Monster High franchise. She is a werewolf who attends Monster High with her brother, Claude, and her BFF Draculaura. She is loyal, confident, and energetic with a knack for sports. With dolls, cartoons, and a live action movie, Clawdeen has many different styles. Therefore, our costume guide features a variety of pieces to assemble a unique outfit. Her main color is purple, and her aesthetic is glam and fierce. Faux fur and animal print are must haves for any look.

Ladybug (played by Brad Pitt) is the protagonist of the action comedy Bullet Train.  An assassin deep in therapy, Ladybug is sent to fetch a silver case belonging to The White Death from the titular train, only for things to go wildly off the rails.  Ladybug must fight a number of others including Lemon, Tangerine, and The Hornet, in pursuit of his quarry.  Ladybug has shaggy blonde hair and boards the train with a beige bucket hat and dark-framed glasses.  His outfit also includes charcoal pants, a green jacket, white tee, and white sneakers.  The Breitling timepiece Ladybug wears in the movie can set you back a pretty penny, so opt for a more budget-friendly pilot watch instead to complete the look.

Sarah Miller (played by Nico Parker) is Joel‘s daughter in the HBO video game adaptation The Last of Us.  Sarah is kind and generous, teasing her father on his birthday while making him breakfast and taking time to have his watch repaired as a gift.  Unfortunately, Sarah meets an untimely demise at the very beginning of the pandemic which sets the series in motion.  Sarah wears pale jeans with some doodled decorations on the right leg, but the defining aspect of her outfit is her Halican Drops t-shirt.  She also uses a purple backpack and wears a few adjustable bracelets on her left wrist, as well as a shark tooth necklace.

Julius and Vincent Benedict (played by Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito, respectively) are the unlikely title characters of the ’80s comedy Twins.  When Julius, the result of an experiment designed to create the perfect man, discovers he has a twin brother, he goes in search of Vincent, a petty criminal who is his exact opposite in almost every way.  The characters wear multiple costumes throughout the film, but some of their best looks are those they choose to match.  You can emulate their twinning style with a pal by choosing a short sleeve button-down with a busy print reminiscent of the 80s paired with a light-colored suit, brown boat shoes, and basic sunglasses.

Meirin (voiced in Japanese by Emiri Katou and in English by Monica Rial) is part of the housekeeping and defense staff in the anime/manga Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler.

After spending the early years of her life as an assassin, she gets taken in by Sebastian after trying to attack Ciel, but ends up being hired on as the family’s maid and defensive sniper. She is often a clumsy maid when tasked with the duties she’s formally hired as, but is a very sharp-sighted sniper when she takes off her glasses.

She has pinkish-red hair usually worn up in pigtails and topped with a maid’s headband, and has hazel eyes that are usually hidden behind the round-rimmed glasses she was gifted upon joining the staff team at the manor. Meirin’s usual outfit is standard maid-wear with a black dress and white apron combo, but the way Nina Hopkins crafted her outfit, it allows her to pin up the skirt to the apron buttons, to expose her sock gartered leg and long black lace up workboots.

Osamu Dazai (voiced in Japanese by Mamoru Miyano and in English by Kaiji Tang) is one of the main characters in the anime/manga Bungo Stray Dogs.

Dazai used to be a member of the Port Mafia, partnered with Chuuya, until he defected and went to join the Armed Detective Agency, the opposing organization. He has the ability to nullify other’s powers, and this has been largely beneficial with keeping Chuuya’s god powers in check.

He has fluffy brown hair and similarly colored eyes. The outfit we usually see Dazai in is semi-formal, he wears a blueish-white button up shirt, a bolo tie, a blue undervest, a black vest over top, cream pants, brown shoes, a tan longcoat, and is wrapped in white bandages all over his torso and arms.

Nagisa (voiced in Japanese by Kana Asumi and in English by Xanthe Huynh) is a secondary main character in the Puella Magi Madoka Magica series. For this piece I’ve chosen her magical girl outfit, but I’ll do a follow-up for her civilian outfit later.

She started off the series as a Witch and later ends up becoming a key part of the group, as well as becoming a magical girl like the others. As the youngest of the group she’s a lot more childish and cheerful, but does have serious moments.

Nagisa’s magical outfit is very whimsical like the rest of her personality, accentuated by long curly white hair worn in small pigtails sticking out of her brown cat eared hat, and big yellow/orange eyes. She wears a cropped undershirt, a pink poncho, brown bloomers with bowed suspenders attached, and she has fingerless gloves and spotted tights, with orange soles (though I did go with ballet flats just because I couldn’t find ones built in).

The White Death (played by Michael Shannon) is the boogeyman bad guy who orchestrates the events of Bullet Train.  The White Death is a larger-than-life force alluded to throughout the film, responsible for wiping out an entire crime syndicate but now known to live in seclusion following the death of his wife.  He brings together the people he deems responsible for this loss in order to exact revenge, but is surprised when his daughter is on the train as well.  The White Death is an imposing figure with long hair and a plethora of tattoos.  His two main looks are a black suit with a red demon mask in flashbacks and a long yukata-like robe over a white dress shirt and slacks when he arrives on the train.  Whichever you choose to recreate, you’ll start with a grey wig, dark slacks, and a white dress shirt.  Then, add the pieces you need to achieve either look in full.

Vittorio was a 12th-century lord, philosopher, and scholar who sought to find a paradise. He hired a mercenary named Tarhos Kovaks to assist him but was betrayed and locked in his own dungeon. He was only saved from death through his knowledge of lost symbols that allowed him to escape into the world of Dead by Daylight.

Kazuya [also known as Naru] (voiced in Japanese by Yuuki Tai and in English by Todd Haberkorn) is one of the main characters in the anime/manga Ghost Hunt.

He is the one that hires Mai to work for Shibuya Psychic Research, which he also owns, because he initially demanded that she work to repay the equipment she broke and the injury she caused. The nickname ‘Naru’ is one that Mai gave him, as an abbreviation for ‘narcissist’.

His whole appearance is very monochromatic, with dark blue-grey eyes, short black hair, and his whole outfit is dark tones. He wears a black button up with a black jacket over top, black slacks, and dark brown shoes.
