Carbon Costume Men
John Luther
Detective Chief Inspector John Luther (Idris Elba) works for the Serious and Serial Crime Unit on the BBC show Luther. He’s a brilliant, gritty detective who often toes the line between following the law and breaking it. Either way, tweed’s never looked better than it does on him.
Abraham Ford
In The Walking Dead, Abraham Ford (Michael Cudlitz) is a former Army sergeant who travels the post-apocalyptic wasteland in search of a zombie cure. Any resemblance to Duke Nukem is purely coincidental.
Ghostbusters
When ghosts, poltergeists, and other spirits come a haunting, who ya gonna call? Ghostbusters! Coveralls are essential work attire when the possibility of being covered in slime or marshmallow puff is a real job hazard.
Booker DeWitt
Booker DeWitt (Troy Baker) is the protagonist of BioShock Infinite. A disgraced Pinkerton agent, he has the chance to settle his gambling debts by going to Columbia and rescuing Elizabeth. Maybe he’ll wipe his conscience clean while he’s at it.
Shia LaBeouf
We’re not sure if Shia LaBeouf’s recent behavior is a publicity stunt or if it’s “art”. Whatever it is, it sure makes for an easy costume.
Team Germany
The Olympic Opening Ceremonies are as much about the celebrating and entertaining as they are about the fashion. The German athletes did not disappoint when it came to the fashion and made a very colorful entrance during the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.
Bela Karolyi
This charismatic Romanian coach who’s lead numerous women to gymnastics gold, is not only an icon, but a treasure to the gymnastics world. Sporting an old-school ‘stache, a booming voice, and an enthusiasm unmatched by others, Karolyi will go down in history as not only a great coach, but as a fixture at the summer Olympics.
Irving Rosenfeld
Irving Rosenfeld (Christian Bale) is a part-time small businessman and a part-time conman, who balances a complicated scheme along with a complicated love life. Having fallen for fellow con woman Sydney Prosser, while married to his neurotic wife Rosalyn, leaves a lot on his plate.
Mr. Monopoly
Mr. Monopoly, known by some as Rich Uncle Pennybags, is perhaps the most famous fictional real estate mogul in history. Dressed to impress with a top hat and cane, the board game mascot is easy to bring to life. Just don’t expect your “get out of jail free” card to actually do anything.
Rayon
Afflicted with AIDS and addicted to drugs, transgendered Rayon (Jared Leto) is trying to find her way in the world. Teaming up with fellow AIDS patient Ron Woodroof, Rayon and Ron start the Dallas Buyers Club and distribute AIDS treatments that haven’t been FDA approved to those who can’t afford the new medicines.
