Carbon Costume Show
Björk
Björk’s white swan dress, made by Macedonian designer Marjan Pejoski, was worn to the 2001 Academy Awards. The dress is one of the most memorable Oscar outfits ever. Björk laying eggs as she walked the red carpet might have something to do with that.
Les Grossman
You may not have caught it, but in Tropic Thunder, Tom Cruise cameos as studio exec Les Grossman. He’s brash, foul-mouthed, hot-headed, and has dirty dance moves. He also has the hairiest, meatiest forearms you’ll ever see.
Risky Business
In Risky Business, when high schooler Joel Goodson (Tom Cruise) is left home alone, he promptly raids the liquor cabinet, and then starts dancing and lip syncing to “Old Time Rock and Roll”. No pants, no mic, no problem.
Ziggy Stardust
David Bowie took fashion to a new level when he unveiled his alter-ego Ziggy Stardust. Part rock star, part alien-being, it takes more than just a colorful unitard and elaborate makeup to pull off this look. You need the confidence to go along with it. Of course, it also doesn’t hurt if you can sing.
Jareth the Goblin King
Jareth (David Bowie) is the Goblin King who is summoned by Sarah to take her infant brother away. He gives Sarah a chance to get her brother back if she can make it through the Labyrinth. Along the way he distracts her with song and dance but it’s his choice of pants that distracts viewers.
Clementine from The Walking Dead
In The Walking Dead video game, Clementine is an 8-year-old girl who finds herself alone in the zombie apocalypse. Under the protection of Lee Everett, she adjusts to this new reality, but holds onto her father’s baseball cap to remember her family.
Chell from Portal
In the Portal games, Chell is essentially a lab rat for Aperture Science, performing tests under the supervision of the AI bot GLaDOS. It’s not long before Chell sees her chance to escape the testing facility using her portal gun.
Lydia Deetz
Lydia Deetz’s style is all but strange and unusual. She keeps it simple by dressing in all black and minimal make up. The hardest part to replicate may actually be her bangs. We can’t guarantee this look will attract a bio-exorcist but you can always try saying his name three times.
