Carbon Costume

Rui is an antagonist in the hit anime, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba. He belonged to the Twelve Demon Moons as the Lower Moon Five. Known as the Spider Demon, he could weave spider webs between his fingers that captured and slashed his enemies to pieces. Rui had weak and fragile body, and Muzan Kibutsuji offered to “save” him by turning him into a demon. After killing his parents, Rui tries to fill those roles with his makeshift “Spider Family.” When he entraps Nezuko with the intent to make her his sister, Tanjiro kills him. In the afterlife, he reunites with his parents, who show their child forgiveness.

Sally Smithson became a nurse at Crotus Prenn Asylum after she was widowed as a newlywed. After decades of abuse at the hands of patients and fellow staff, she strangled them all in one night and vanished. As the ghoulish Nurse, she serves the Entity of Dead by Daylight as a killer, teleporting across the playing field using the last breaths she stole from her victims. The Nurse carries a hacksaw and wears a white dress. Her appearance is made all the more creepy by the white hood she wears over her face. You can purchase a zentai hood or use a white pillowcase for this part of her costume, as either will evoke the same terrifying effect.

In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Isabelle is more or less the go-to person on every island when you need something done for its inhabitants. Anything other than construction, that is. She’s generally in a happy mood and, should news run thin, eager to share the latest and greatest news in television shows.

There are a few ways that you can achieve Isabelle’s look. The first way uses body paint to mimic the color of Isabelle’s fur. It can be applied to your face, neck, hands, arms, and legs. The other option is to use blush on your cheeks to mimic Isabelle’s blush but otherwise skip over her fur with the exception of yellow leggings. You can also add ears and a tail to both looks since Isabelle is a dog-type villager.

Regardless of which look you choose, you will want to use a blonde wig for the ponytail on top of her head, a pink button down, a white skirt, and black shoes. Isabelle’s shirt is a Nook Inc. branded shirt which might be hard to find. But a bleach pen and a little DIY can turn a basic pink button down into your very own Nook Inc. merchandise. It’ll be the last piece of the perfect Isabelle cosplay!

Marnie Piper (Kimberly J. Brown) is the protagonist of the Halloweentown movies from Disney Channel. Upon discovering her grandmother Aggie Cromwell (Debbie Reynolds) is a witch, she sneaks onto the magical bus to Halloweentown, full of other supernatural creatures. The first film deals with an evil warlock named Kalabar, and the second on the revenge of his son, where Marnie must stop them both. The third movie revolves around Marnie bringing students from Halloweentown to high school in the mortal world. There’s a fourth movie too, but we don’t talk about it. Throughout the saga, Marnie steps into her power as an headstrong, independent witch. Iron or sew on the moon and star appliques to the hat and cloak as shown in the picture. A second option could be to cut the shapes out of silver foil, as the material looks rather shiny. For some extra magic, add silver trim to the lining of the cloak.

In the Netflix miniseries The Queen’s Gambit, Beth Harmon (Anya Taylor-Joy) is chess prodigy troubled by an orphaned upbringing who rises to the highest ranks of the chess world while struggling with drug and dependency issues. As Beth grows and changes, her fashion style follows suit. But throughout, her gorgeous 1960s clothes keep a chess motif, including black and white palette and a chessboard pattern. By the end of the series, her outfit mirrors the white queen.

Moira Rose (played by Catherine O’Hara) is the wife of Johnny and mother of David and Alexis on the Canadian sitcom Schitt’s Creek.  Moira is an ex-soap star, and her fashion sense is as quirky and eccentric as her personality, making her a fun character to emulate.  To recrate some of Moira’s iconic looks, you’ll need to be bold in your layering to achieve the appearance of the high-end pieces she often sports.  For instance, a pair of cutout leggings over sheer black tights can evoke the same feel as the expensive Proenza Schouler tights she wears in the third picture.

Liz Sherman (played to acclaim by Selma Blair) is the pyrotechnic female lead in Hellboy. She largely plays the role of Hellboy’s long-time love interest but her reach extends much further than that. Her abilities make her incredibly dangerous – dangerous enough to take out demi-demon monsters with a penchant for resurrection – but she herself is a peaceful and kind-hearted person.

Liz sports two looks throughout the movie. The first is an all-black look of boots, pants, a loose-fitting sweater, a peacoat, a scarf, and a beret. Accessories for this outfit can be an Americano (no cream or sugar) and a Polaroid camera. Her other look is a set of plain red scrubs seen after she is tricked into setting fire to her asylum by Rasputin’s magic. They are both very basic looks that are still classic Liz Sherman.

In Borat 2 (Borat Subsequent Moviefilm: Delivery of Prodigious Bribe to American Regime for Make Benefit Once Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan), Tutar Sagdiyet (Maria Bakalova) is Borat’s 15 year old daughter, who escapes from her barn in Kazakhstan, smuggles herself in a crate with a chimp, and follows Borat to Texas. Initially she’s unkempt and resembles a McPoyle, but gets a makeover in order to attend debutante ball. Tutar’s fresh look is enough to seduce Rudy Giuliani in a hotel room in minutes.
