Carbon Costume Women
Irene from Drive
There is no real happy ending for Irene (played by Carey Mulligan). At least not with Driver. With her husband dead and Driver gone, Irene can only focus on doing what’s best for her son. That’s hard enough when you live in the world that Irene lives in.
Irene is the perfect closet cosplay option. She is a normal person with a closet like many other women. For Standard’s return party she wears a patterned tank top, a maxi skirt, and sandals. And, of course, the gold chain necklace she wears through most of the movie and her signature blonde bob.
Sylvie from Loki
Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino) is a character in Loki on Disney+. She is the rogue variant that the TVA has been trying to track down. Loki is the only one who can stop her because she is a variant of himself. However, she hates being referred to as Loki, and has decided her name is Sylvie. Her magical ability is enchantment, which manifests as green orbs from her hands. Along with the accurate name, we can assume this is Enchantress, who studied as a sorcerer under Loki in the comics. Now stuck on the planet Lamentis, the two must work together to escape. While Sylvie’s outfit resembles her “original” character, her helmet has a broken horn to symbolize her uniqueness.
Marie from the Aristocats
Marie is a character in the Disney film, The Aristocats. She is the only female kitten of Duchess, and a sister to Berlioz and Toulouse. She is very feminine and makes an effort to appear ladylike. While this attitude makes her quite prissy and spoiled, she has fun playing with her brothers. A hopeless romantic and daydreamer, Marie frequently gets lost in her thoughts, sighing deeply. Pair this inspired look with a pair of white knee socks and shoes, and you’ll be ready to see Paris! For an added feline touch, draw whiskers on with black liquid liner and apply pink blush to your nose.
Osana Najimi from Yandere Simulator
Osana Najimi (voiced by Brittany Lauda) is the first rival the player meets when they start the game Yandere Simulator. She serves as the game’s tutorial and a prickly one at that. Not that you’d know by looking at her style, however. She has a sweet sense of fashion that makes for an excellent cosplay.
Since the game takes place at school, most of Osana’s outfit is a standard school uniform. A white blouse with a blue sailor collar and red necktie, a blue pleated skirt, and black slip on shoes. Her personal style comes in with her long red hair pulled back in pigtails by red scrunches and decorated with a red ribbon bow, and with her pink polka dot socks.
Flora Wingrave from The Haunting of Bly Manor
Flora Wingrave (played by Amelie Smith) is the precious younger sister of Miles in the Netflix series The Haunting of Bly Manor. Flora quickly befriends Dani Clayton when she arrives at Bly as the new governess. She is a sweet child, though she can at times be rather off-putting and even a bit frightening. Flora’s costumes often revolve around a sweet purple and pink palette, making for a “perfectly splendid” range of options to choose from when recreating her look.
Peppermint Fizz
Peppermint Fizz is a character in the Strawberry Shortcake television series. At first, she is an antiheroine, as her determination and stubbornness drives her to cheat to get her way. Her demeanor changes once Raspberry Torte and Lime Light become the new bullies, and Peppermint redeems herself. As a result, she becomes best friends with Strawberry Shortcake. She is also friends with the girls in year four. Her pet is a chameleon named Cola. The animation featured in this costume guide is from the 2007 version. Tie the wig back into a ponytail with a red scrunchie. To finish the look, apply pink blush to the apples of your cheeks.
Kimi Watanabe-Finster from Rugrats
Kimi Watanabe-Finster (voiced by Dionne Quan) is the step-sister of Chuckie Finster from the Nickelodeon show Rugrats. Originally introduced in the movie Rugrats in Paris, Kimi quickly becomes a member of the crew and joins in on their adventures. Kimi is very brave, often encouraging her step-brother to take bigger risks and step out of his comfort zone. Kimi wears a pink shirt, purple cowboy boots, and a yellow bib dress with a purple cat on it. If you want to add a cat to your own dress, you can use a purple sticker or decal, or if you want to get really crafty, you could always paint one on by hand.
Kanata and Kuina Ubuyashiki
Kuina and Kanata Ubuyashiki are minor characters in the hit anime Demon Slayer. They are the twin daughters of Kayaga Ubuyashiki, and accompany him wherever he goes. Even the hashira must show respect to Kuina and Kanata. Tanjiro and Zenitsu first meet the twins during the final selection as they calmly explain the fatal consequences of the exam. Both girls are almost identical, except Kanata has white hair and Kuina has black hair.
Angelica Pickles from Rugrats
Angelica Pickles (voiced by Cheryl Chase) is the bossy older cousin of Tommy and Dil Pickles on the Nickelodeon show Rugrats. Angelica is a spoiled child who rarely doesn’t get what she wants, which leads to her butting heads with her cousins and their friends often. Even Susie Carmichael, who is normally an ally of Angelica, sometimes has to point out when she takes it too far. Angelica has blonde hair she styles in pigtails and she wears a purple dress layered over an orange shirt and blue tights.
Phil and Lil DeVille from Rugrats
Phil and Lil DeVille (both voiced bath Kath Soucie) are the troublemaking twins of Betty and Howard DeVille on the Nickelodeon show Rugrats. Phil and Lil are alike in almost every way, including how they dress. Their pink shirts and rubber-duck adorned shirts make for a fun and colorful costume for a couple or a pair of friends.
