Carbon Costume

Matt Berry knows how to make people laugh. And he takes it to a new level with his role in “What We Do in the Shadows”. Laszlo Cravensworth was known for his beauty and then for his musical prowess. Now, however is best known for two things. His love for his wife, Nadja, and “Bat!”.

Laszlo has several costumes but there are a two things that hold true throughout all of them: His thick hair and his meticulously shaped facial hair. A wig can get you close to his hairstyle while fake facial hair and extra adhesive can help you with his beard.

With those two elements in place you can’t go wrong with his general outfit. A black brocade coat over a black vest and white button down with a black jabot. Black slacks and black boots finish off the outfit while a nice set of fangs complete the whole look.

He’s not the best P.I. out there. And, okay, he might not get the job done. But when it really matters, Holland March (played by Ryan Gosling) puts his all into the job. Even if that means cozying up to the guy hired to beat him up and keep him from asking questions.

Typical of a suave guy in the ’70s, March is prone to bright colors. A bright blue suit with a light patterned undershirt and a coordinating tie are his go-to work look. Add in a gold watch, a gold pinky ring, and a trim goatee and you’ve got an essential ’70s vibe. After that all you need to finish off the look is a brown leather belt and a pair of shoes to match. And, of course, March’s cigarette (go for a fake one).

Legoshi (voiced by Chikahiro Kobayashi and Jonah Scott) is a grey wolf and the main protagonist of the anime and manga series Beastars.  Legoshi is mild-mannered and polite, despite his outward appearance being very intimidating.  Legoshi’s standard attire is fairly simple, but you’ll want to layer your striped pants and dress shirt with wolf accessories to best exemplify Legoshi’s character design.  Thankfully, you won’t need to worry about wearing any strange footwear because he sports a pair of plain brown dress shoes instead of lupine feet.

Eddie Murphy has been a household name for decades. And one of the roles that cemented his status was Axel Foley in 1984’s Beverly Hills Cop. Murphy brought his usual charm and charisma to a character who could have easily been made bitter by everything he has to face. But when justice for his friend on the line, Murphy’s humor just keeps Foley going and made viewers everywhere root for him.

Because Foley knows his job is an active one, he tends to keep things casual. A pair of trainers, jeans, a grey pullover sweatshirt, a letterman’s jacket, watch, and a pair of sunglasses make up the bulk of his look. For Foley’s jacket you can either go for a generic Letterman’s coat or you can get a replica, depending on the investment you want to make. Then grab your badge, gun, and holster and you’re ready to solve your own case!

Yuji Itadori is the teenage protagonist of the anime Jujustu Kaisen. Everything is normal in his life until he finds the finger of a cursed spirit named Sukuna. When becomes its vessel, he can harness and control cursed energy. As a result, Yuji begins to attend Tokyo Jujutsu High, a school for other jujutsu sorcerers. He is a first year student alongside Megumi and Nobara. Prior to becoming a sorcerer, Yuji demonstrates above average physical abilities, such as superhuman strength and speed, earning him the nickname “The Tiger of West Junior High.” Now as a vessel, he has the rare ability to contain Sukuna’s soul. Usually Yuji is good-natured and friendly, but he can be angered quickly in the face of pure malice. In honor of his grandfather’s dying words, Yuji is willing to sacrifice himself for others.

Thomas Haden Church is no stranger to playing the bad guy. His iconic George of the Jungle role is proof enough of that. But his turn as Flint Marko (also known as Sandman) in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3 was definitely one of the highlights of the film. It introduced a whole new generation to the character and made him a fan favorite villain for people everywhere.

Flint’s cosplay is easy to pull together and, depending on your other characters, the pieces can serve in a variety of other costumes. The most difficult part is his shirt. Finding striped shirts in the right shade is a little tricky so you will be better off making your own. Start with a medium green t-shirt and add in the stripes using either black dye or black fabric paint. After that all you need is a brown belt, brown shoes, and a pair of olive cargo pants.

Juandissimo Magnifico is a minor, recurring villain in Nickelodeon’s The Fairly OddParents. Voiced by Carlos Alazraqui, he is the Hispanic fairy god-parent of Remy Buxaplenty. He is incredibly vain, frequently ripping off his shirt and singing about his sexiness. Although they are ex-lovers, Juandissimo is still smitten with Wanda and therefore jealous of Cosmo.

Eren Yeager (voiced by Yuki Kaji and Bryce Papenbrook) is the main protagonist of the anime and manga series Attack on Titan.  Eren is hard-headed and often impulsive, which can cause a lot of stress for his closest friends Mikasa Ackerman and Armin Arlert.  Eren’s appearance changes a lot throughout the series, no more so than when he is in a monstrous Titan from.  But one of his most often seen uniforms includes a green cloak, body harness, and light-colored pants.
