Carbon Costume Women
Jane Kano from Charlie’s Angels (2019)
Jane Kano (played by Ella Balinska) was the youngest recruit to ever join MI-6. Jane now serves as a member of Charlie’s Angels in the 2019 reboot and continuation of the franchise. Jane works closely with fellow Angels Sabina and newly-recruited Elena to stop the implementation of Elena’s program Calisto. Jane’s clothing is often utilitarian and even militaristic. However, as is the case for every Angel, she often dons disguises and costumes in order to complete her mission, offering a lot of different options when emulating the character’s style.
The Pig from Dead by Daylight
The Pig is the moniker used by apprentices/successors of Jigsaw. There have been many over the years, though they do not vary much in appearance. The male ones typically don Jigsaw’s red and black robe, while the female ones wear long red leather coats, both of which help deal with the bloody affair that is kidnapping victims and setting up Jigsaw’s games. In the game Dead by Daylight, Amanda Young is a devoted pupil of Jigsaw who assumes the identity of the Pig following her own death. To recreate the Pig’s costume, you’ll need a pig mask with wig and a red leather coat layered over a pair of jeans. You can use a simple red trench coat, or if you want the full length of the costume in the game, you could layer a red moto jacket with a hood over a faux leather skirt that you cut in the middle.
Erin Quinn from Derry Girls
Erin Quinn (played by Saoirse-Monica Jackson) is the main protagonist of the Netflix show Derry Girls. Erin lives in Derry with her rather large family during the 1990s. She attends Our Lady Immaculate College with her friends Orla (who is also her cousin), James, Michelle, and Clare. Erin’s most recognizable costume is her green school uniform, though she also dons plenty of fun 90s-inspired outfits throughout the series.
Amity Blight from The Owl House
Amity Blight is a character in the Disney Channel animated series, The Owl House. She attends Hexside Academy of Magic and Demonics. Bright and competitive, Amity is a prodigious young witch. In the beginning, she exhibits hubris and looks down on others who don’t succeed like her. Although now Amity has shown a more sensitive side to her personality, such as when she bonds with her friend (and crush) Luz. You can dye the top of the wig with dark green Copic marker and the front with brown Copic marker. Then you can sew the gold button onto the cowl, and like magic, your costume is done!
Lexi Howard from Euphoria
In Euphoria, Lexi Howard played by Maude Apatow is a level headed student at East Highland. She and Rue have been best friends since childhood though they have drifted apart over the years.

Gabrielle’s costume changes throughout the series, but she typically wears small crop tops throughout.
She-Hulk
She-Hulk is a superhero from the Marvel comics. By day, she’s Jennifer Walters, a lawyer working in Los Angeles and cousin of Bruce Banner. When he visited Jennifer in town, agents of a crime boss named Nick Trask shot and wounded her. Realizing she was going to die, Bruce volunteered for the blood transfusion and committed her to a hospital. The agents returned to attack, but the sense of danger activated the gamma radiation in the blood. Jennifer transformed into She-Hulk and used her newfound super strength to defeat them. Like Bruce, she can be intelligent as both Jennifer and She-Hulk. She briefly joined the Avengers and replaced The Thing in the Fantastic Four. Use the purple fabric paint to make the stripes on either side of the leotard. You can also use green fabric paint to shade the unitard to emulate her strong muscles.
