Carbon Costume

In Sailor Moon, VesVes is a member of the Amazoness Quartet, representing one of the four major asteroids in the Asteroid Belt together with JunJun, CereCere, and PallaPalla. VesVes has red hair, red eyes, golden bracelets, and wields a whip.

The iconic Torch Lady logo for Columbia Pictures has been a version of a woman holding a torch since 1928.  The current version, draped with a blue cloth instead of a flag, is based on a photograph Jenny Johnson taken by photographer Kathy Anderson in 1991.  In the original photograph, the model was draped in a white sheet that was strategically pinned in place.  For your costume, you can choose a flowy sleeveless dress with a v-neck and sandals to evoke the same Greek inspiration as Columbia’s long lineage of logos.  Finish your costume with a curly wig, a long blue scarf draped over your left arm, and a light up torch held aloft in your right hand.

Velvette (voiced by Lilli Cooper) is a demon character in the web series Hazbin Hotel.  She is a demon with close ties to Vox and Valentino, and is quite fashionable, often critical of others’ sense of style.  Velvette’s original look was updated in 2024.  To recreate her latest appearance, you can purchase a pre-made costume or create your own with a black crop top, black and red striped trousers, striped fingerless gloves, and a blue sleeveless jacket.  Add heart details to your crop top and jacket with iron on patches.  No matter which option you choose, you’ll need a pink and purple wig, skull earrings, and black and white shoes to complete your costume.

In Sailor Moon, CereCere is the leader of the Amazoness Quartet, representing one of the four major asteroids in the Asteroid Belt alongside JunJun, VesVes, and PallaPalla. CereCere has a pink and yellow scheme, including long pink pigtails, pink bikini, and translucent skirt.

Luna (voiced in Japanese by Keiko Han and in English by Michelle Ruff and Jill Frappier) is one of the main characters in the Sailor Moon anime/manga.

Luna is Sailor Moon’s main companion, guardian, and guide, and is the one that helped her become Sailor Moon in the first place. She is usually in the form of a black cat (sometimes with red eyes, though that varies between the show/movie), but herself, her partner Artemis, and their daughter Diana all have human forms as well.

Her human form has long, cascading black hair, that she wears up in double buns on either side of her head, and vibrant blue eyes. Like the other two, she also has a gold crescent moon in the center of her forehead, between her bangs. Her outfit differs slightly between the original, and Crystal, but at the core it is pretty much the same. She wears a short strappy golden dress, with little triangles of black at the bottom, and little black puffs at the ends where the straps meet the top of the dress. The look is finished off with a pair of black high heels, topped with tiny black pom pom anklets, a pair of dangly moon earrings and a torso length moon pendant, similar to Artemis’.

In the Christmas television special “Frosty the Snowman”, Karen (voiced by June Foray) is a girl who places a magical top hat on top of a snowman, bringing him to life. Worried that the warming weather will make him melt, Karen and Frosty embark on a mission to the North Pole. Through these adventures they find Santa Claus, who has a magical solution to save Frosty. For this costume, you’ll want to replace the red buttons on the winter coat with white ones, and wrap red fabric around the band of the earmuffs, to fully match Karen’s appearance.

Bibi Garvey (played by Sarah Greene) is one of the titular siblings at the heart of the Apple TV series Bad Sisters.  One of Bibi’s sisters, Grace, begins the series married to an abusive man, John Paul “JP” Williams, and it is Bibi who initially suggests she and her other siblings should take matters into their own hands.  Bibi lost an eye during a car accident involving JP as the drivier of the vehicle.  Bibi’s style tends to be less flashy than her sisters Becka and Eva, but she still dresses well throughout the series.  For Grace’s wedding to her second husband, Bibi dons a pale yellow outfit and heels.  During a meetup with her sisters, she wears black jeans, sneakers, and a blue and green sweater.  No matter which outfit you choose to recreate, a black eye patch and some sardonic wit are the most important parts of your costume.

Stacy Hirano (voiced by Kelly Hu) is a supporting character from Phineas and Ferb.  She is Candace Flynn‘s best friend and is also good friends with Jenny Brown and Jeremy Johnson.  Stacey tends to be more level-headed than Candace and excels at mini golf.  Stacy has long black hair that she accessorizes with a blue bow.  Her outfits consists of a teal shirt, blue skirt, and light blue knee high socks.  She wears black flats and a beaded bracelet on her left wrist.
