Carbon Costume Women
Vanessa Marianna-Fisk from Daredevil
Vanessa Marianna – later Vanessa Marianna-Fisk – is the lover-turned-wife of Daredevil’s antagonist, Wilson Fisk. Played by Ayelet Zurer she is the epitome of class and grace. From her position as an art dealer to her selectively minimal tastes she is a perfect match for Fisk is nearly every way though she lacks his more bloodthirsty tendencies.
Although Vanessa wears several different costumes they are all streamlined, minimalist, and well-fitted. She also wears white more and more often the longer she is with Fisk which was a deliberate choice by costuming. To that end, a white pencil dress and white heels are a good option for a Vanessa cosplay. A set of elegant gold earrings and a long gold necklace round out the accessories while her signature highlighted hair and some delicate makeup complete the look as a whole
Regan Abbott from A Quiet Place
Regan Abbott (played by deaf actress Millicent Simmonds) is the eldest child of Lee and Evelyn Abbott in the movie A Quiet Place. Regan has a cochlear implant, and she and her father often argue when he excludes her from activities out of fear that she will unintentionally make noise that will alert the deadly creatures they are hiding from, as they have extremely sensitive hearing. Regan communicates through American Sign Language, which the rest of her family has learned as well, allowing them to speak without sound. Regan wears a pink, blue, and white striped skirt layered with floral leggings and a striped and navy blue turtleneck shirt.
Make Your Own: Claire from Outlander
If you’re a fan of fantasy, romance, and political intrigue, Outlander comes out ahead in all three categories. The gripping […]
Evelyn Abbott from A Quiet Place
Evelyn Abbott (played by Emily Blunt) is the wife of Lee and mother to Regan, Marcus, and Beau in the movie A Quiet Place. During the course of the film, Evelyn also gives birth to a new baby while attempting to remain silent so as not to provoke the extraterrestrial creatures who have devastated Earth. Evelyn wears a long, flowing dress that fits comfortably over her baby belly, and a cozy sweater to stay warm. Finding the exact dress would be difficult, so choose a maxi dress with a similar pattern or color scheme to layer with a white tank top and beige cable knit cardigan.
Mrs. Nellie Lovett from Sweeney Todd
Mrs. Nellie Lovett is a main character in Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. She runs a pie shop, but she claims she serves the “worst pies in London.” When Benjamin Barker/Sweeney Todd visits, she comes up with the idea to turn his victims into pies. Mrs. Lovett becomes infatuated with Mr. Todd and plans to live a happy, married life with him, but he kills her when it’s revealed she hid information about his ex-wife. She’s rather eccentric and psychopathic, but she serves as comic relief. Helena Bonham Carter plays the role in the Tim Burton movie, which inspired this costume guide. Sew the red trim on the blouse for that pop of color, and style your hair with a teasing comb and hair spray.
Monica Geller from Friends
Monica Geller (Courteney Cox) is Rachel Greene‘s worldly, grounded roommate who takes the runaway bride in at the start of the Friends series. Monica’s presence on the show pushed boundaries on television, encouraging viewers to think about sensitive subjects such as obesity and what constitutes promiscuity in her day and age. Monica’s sense of style centers around comfortable blue jeans, and basic-colored camisoles, T-shirts, or blouses — to me, it is highly evocative of the nineties.
Sharpay Evans in “Fabulous”
Sharpay Evans (Ashley Tisdale) is a main character in Disney Channel’s High School Musical movies. Often antagonized throughout the series, she is feisty, ambitious, and in charge. Despite participating in theater at East High, she wants to pursue a career in performance, and her big dream is to become a Hollywood star. This is her outfit in the sequel, High School Musical 2, during the song “Fabulous”. With Troy Bolton working at her country club, Sharpay aims to cause a rift in his relationship with Gabriella Montez. But not all is “fabulous” when she discovers Gabriella is the new lifeguard at the pool. Add some sparkle to the coverup and bathing suit with 3 mm rhinestones, which can be applied with Hotfix or E6000.
Amethyst from Steven Universe: Future
Amethyst is a main character in Steven Universe: Future voiced by Michaela Dietz. The series takes place after the events of the movie. Before, Amethyst was underestimated because she was half the size of a Quartz soldier. This judgement used to negatively affect her self esteem. But now she’s found her confidence and purpose. Fun, playful, and always with an appetite, Amethyst helps Steven run the new school for gems. Cut a hole in the tank top for the gem, and iron one star on each leg of the shorts.
Tanith Low from Skulduggery Pleasant
Tanith Low is a Hidden Blade magic user skilled in combat, stealth, walking on walls (and sitting on ceilings), and swordsmanship. She’s an ally of Skulduggery Pleasant and the honorary big sister of Pleasant’s apprentice, Valkyrie Cain. It is, in fact, Tanith, who first inspired Valkyrie to pick her name after casually using the phrase “raising Cain” (making trouble).
Rachel Greene from Friends
Friends, among other things, shows the evolution of Rachel Karen Greene from a runaway bride with unrealistic expectations of the world to a thriving businesswoman with questionable decision-making skills — at least, in terms of her personal life. (Joey? Really?) Career-wise, the character of Rachel served as a breakout role for actress Jennifer Aniston.
Rachel’s fashion sense can be summed up in plaid, pleated miniskirts, comfy sweaters, and dresses with Mandarin collars. All the more iconic is the hairstyle she sported at various lengths throughout Friends’ ten-season run.
