Carbon Costume Show
Alonzo Harris
In Training Day, Detective Alonzo Harris (Denzel Washington) helps the bright-eyed Jake Hoyt (Ethan Hawke) learn the ropes on his first day as LAPD. But this isn’t your typical HR orientation, and what Alonzo puts him through definitely ain’t OSHA approved.
Men in Black
Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones) and Agent J (Will Smith) are two of the Men in Black, a secret agency that polices illegal (extraterrestrial) aliens. They’re tasked with tracking down an intergalactic terrorist before he destroys Planet Earth. Just another day on the job.
Batman
Batman (Christian Bale, Michael Keaton, or Adam West, depending on your age) is the secret identity assumed by billionaire playboy Bruce Wayne, driven by the murder of his parents. For this costume, we recommend you upgrade the mask, gloves, boots, and cape — basically everything except the chest and belt.
Punky Brewster
When it came to rambunctious 80’s icons there were few that could compete with Punky Brewster. Armed with her dog, a motley crew of friends, and a mismatched wardrobe, Punky won over the heart of Henry and the American public alike. All you need for the same look are a few layered shirts, ripped up jeans, and mismatched shoes.
Enid Coleslaw
In Ghost World, Enid Coleslaw (Thora Birch) is a cynical teenager with a creative side that shows in her attire. Pairing clashing patterns and vintage eyeglasses, Enid’s style requires you to have an “I don’t care” attitude because you’re probably going to raise some eyebrows. In fact, you may want to work on your witty comebacks.
Tina Belcher
Tina Belcher (voiced by Dan Mintz), the eldest daughter on Bob’s Burgers, takes teenage angst to a new level. Her functional retro style takes her from mornings pining over Jimmy Jr. to evenings flipping burgers. With the time left over, she can practice Capoeira… or at least make sure her siblings stay out of trouble.
Rebecca Doppelmeyer
In Ghost World, Rebecca Doppelmeyer (Scarlett Johansson) may feel like an outsider but she looks like the average teenage girl. Dressed in long sleeve T-shirts and solid color skirts, her wardrobe is straight out of a Gap catalog which makes it easy to recreate. The eccentric best friend is optional.
Chris Crocker
Chris Crocker made his mark on YouTube when he pleaded the internet to “leave Britney alone!” shortly after her VMA Gimme More performance in 2007. In the infamous clip, he weeps and rubs his heavily made up eyes as he defends the popstar, all while hiding under a bedsheet.
Thomas Magnum of Magnum P.I.
Tom Selleck played the role of Thomas Magnum in Magnum, P.I. He made life in Hawaii look hard as a private eye by driving around in a Ferrari, donning short shorts and smoking the occasional stogie.
Claire Standish
Leather and the color pink, those are the two things that sum up the look of Claire Standish. The popular girl wore plenty of both and while her outfit may have been expensive, these days you can score some similar items for relatively cheap. You don’t even need to wear real diamonds. However, you may be asked to perform the lipstick trick in which case we suggest a high quality brand. It makes it a little classier.
