Carbon Costume

Mother (played by Amanda Collin) is an android sent to the planet Kepler-22b in the HBO Max show Raised by Wolves.  Mother and Father, another android, are tasked with raising human children destined to repopulate their new planet, as the Earth has been plagued by war between atheists and followers of the Mithraic faith.  Some of these followers, including Marcus, eventually make their way to Kepler-22b as well, causing conflict in the world of Mother, Father, and Campion.  While Mother’s costume is relatively simple, her hairstyle truly makes her stand out.  If you aren’t quite ready to take the plunge and give yourself a buzzcut, a men’s wig in a strawberry-blonde color can help you achieve the utilitarian appearance of this futuristic android.

Natalie Lima Melo (played by Débora Falabella) is a journalist covering the malpractices happening in Brazil’s Amazon Rainforest. She takes journalism very seriously, and doesn’t mind talking about taboo topics that need a platform. Natalie has a deep heart, and is pouring her all into the cause she supports in Aruanas.

Elle Fanning plays Catherine the Great in the Hulu miniseries, The Great. The plot follows the longest ruling Russian empress from her youth to her rise to power with satire and comedy galore. While drawing from Russian history, this drama is fictionalized by adding Catherine’s plan to murder her idiotic husband, Emperor Peter II.

On the show Dave, Ally (played by Taylor Misiak) plays the titular character’s girlfriend.  An elementary school teacher, Ally is supportive of Dave‘s career aspirations while also working to help him address the insecurities he faces about his body, so they can enjoy a healthy relationship and sex life.  Ally is roommates with Emma, who eventually helps Dave by providing him with digital artwork to use for his live shows.  While the exact cropped sweater and ringer t-shirt Ally wears are both out of stock online, similar items can be used to evoke the same feel, and a fabric marker can even add the “lover” detail to her t-shirt if you are feeling crafty!

Orla McCool (played by Louisa Harland) is the cousin and friend of Erin Quinn on the Netflix show Derry Girls.  Orla is a bit strange, and often misses obvious social cues.  She is not at all concerned with popularity and even brought her grandfather as her date to the prom.  While sarcastic, Orla loves her friends deeply and is quite loyal to them.  Orla also has quite the sweet tooth and can often be seen eating candy while wearing some quintessentially ’90s outfits, including loud prints and bold colors, which make some of her looks a lot of fun to sport.

In Euphoria, Cassie Howard played by Sydney Sweeney is a nice popular girl at East Highland who shares a room with her sister Lexi. Cassie has a lot of trouble dating due to rumors of her sexual history. She hasn’t done anything wrong but constantly finds herself getting hurt. You can find Cassie in cute light colored crop tops and light wash denim. She wears mostly light make up unless going out and often puts her hair in braids.

In the Netflix series Ratched, Sarah Paulson plays the impeccably dressed and increasingly evil Mildred Ratched.  Nurse Ratched was first introduced to the world as the primary antagonist of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.  The Netflix series serves as a prequel to the film, charting Nurse Ratched’s origins and how she became the tyrannical battleax she is known as in pop culture.  To create Ratched’s nurse outfit, your best bet will be to find white items and dye them the appropriate shade of teal.  While this may seem intimidating, using Rit fabric dye is actually a very simple and straightforward process, and by following the directions on the bottle, you will be able to better mimic the beautiful color of Ratched’s uniform, which is difficult to find ready-made.

In the Hazbin Hotel spinoff series, Helluva Boss, Loona (voiced by Erica Lindbeck) is the receptionist for Immediate Murder Professionals (I.M.P.), an assassination startup. Loona’s attitude is caustic and apathetic.  When her nose is not buried in her phone, she can typically be found shooting acerbic glances at her co-workers.  Loona is a hellhound, and her appearance is mostly that of an anthropomorphic black and white wolf.  To recreate her costume, you’ll want to accessorize with plenty of wolf-like details including a tail and ears, and then layer her tight shorts and crop top over that.  You can always cut the shorts and top to match the slightly tattered look of Loona’s clothes, as well as to show as much or little skin as you are comfortable with.
