Carbon Costume Women
Debbie Harry from Blondie
Debbie Harry is the lead singer of the band Blondie. Blondie was one of the frontier early punk bands of 1970’s New York City and played at the famed CBGB’s with bands like The Ramones and The New York Dolls. For Debbie’s hair I recommend using texturing paste and teasing it with a comb. Creating a dramatic smoky eye is essential, look up tutorials if you need a bit of practice. Finish off with a glossy lip and you are ready to go out.
Musa from Winx Club
Musa (voiced by Romi Dames in the English versions and Gemma Donati in the Italian versions) is the Fairy of Music and one of the six core members of the Winx Club. She is also the princess of her home planet Melody. Her boyfriend Riven is a combat student at the Red Fountain school alongside the boyfriends and fiances of several other Winx Club members.
Musa is unique in a few ways. She is one of two fairies to embrace technology as part of her magic. She also has short hair a solid red dress instead of the long hair and two-piece outfits that most of the Winx Club wears. Her color is red, so a red dress and red boots make up her costume. Purple headphones and a purple and around her upper arm – which can be recreated with a ribbon – are her contrasting accessories. Her wings are also blue instead of white and more sleek that most of the other fairies’.
Aisha from Winx Club
Aisha (voiced by Keke Palmer in the English versions and Laura Lenghi in the Italian versions) is one of the six core members of the Winx club. She is also the Fairy of Waves and the princess of her home planet Andros. Aisha is loyal, clever, and a fantastic friend the rest of the Winx club.
To cosplay as Aisha you will want to lean into the color green. Her most common form as a fairy is white wings, a green halter top, green skirt, and green boots. She has long brown hair that she wears down. Like the rest of the Winx club she has countless outfits which is unusual for most animated shows. But this outfit is one of her most iconic fairy look.
For her more human look you can go with the same wig then change the glittering green of her fairy form for a pink spaghetti strap top, green denim skirt, white leg warmers, and green boots.
Stevie Nicks from Fleetwood Mac
The band Fleetwood Mac’s lineup has gone through multiple changes since its bluesy beginnings in the 1960s, but their most recognizable sound is thanks in part to the musical contributions of Stevie Nicks and her songwriting partner (then romantic partner as well), Lindsey Buckingham. Flowing black dresses, shawls themed after her hit songs, and extremely high-heeled boots are practically synonymous with Stevie Nicks’ stage presence.
Eileen Leahy from Supernatural
Eileen Leahy (played by Shoshannah Stern) is a hunter on the CW show Supernatural. As a child, she lost her hearing to the same Banshee that killed her parents, which spurred her to become a hunter. Eileen is killed by a hellhound, but Sam is able to resurrect her with one of Rowena‘s spells in season 15. Eileen is tough and confident, with a caring nature.
D.W. Read from Arthur
Dora Winifred, better known by the abbreviation “D.W.” is Arthur‘s younger sister on the PBS show Arthur, based on the books by Marc Brown. D.W. is in preschool, and enjoys watching Mary Moo Cow and listening to Crazy Bus, which irritates her older brother. D.W.’s typical outfit consists of a pink sleeveless dress over a long sleeved white shirt.
Charlotte Hale from HBO’s Westworld
Charlotte Hale (played by Tessa Thompson) is a ruthless member of the Delos Board of Directors and attempts to overthrow Robert Ford by proving that his hosts have become unstable. Charlotte works closely with Bernard and trusts him in the aftermath of the gala until she discovers that he himself is a host, at which point she turns on him in pursuit of her ultimate goals. Charlotte dresses well and can often be seen adjusting her clothing or hair to maintain her carefully manicured appearance. Following the events of the gala, she dresses down to fit into Westworld and avoid detection by Dolores and her followers.
Ami Onuki from Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi
In the anime Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi, Ami Onuki (voiced by Janice Kawaye) is the brighter and more optimistic half of pop duo Puffy AmiYumi, along with Yumi Yoshimura. A lover of all things girly including rainbows, bunnies, and sparkles, Ami is also a talented drummer. To get the details right, you could use pink iron on patches to create the colorblock effect of Ami’s yellow dress, and don’t forget to style your wig with her signature space buns.
Queen Frostine from Candyland
Queen Frostine is the benevolent queen of Candy Land. She is the wife of King Fudge and the mother of Princess Lolly. And though her costume appears simple, it is unique enough that getting it just right will take a little bit of DIY to bring the right details to your basic blue ballgown.
If you can find a scalloped skirt or apron to wear over your ballgown, then you don’t need the scalloped fabric. For those using the fabric, however, a little bit of double-sided tape will keep the material in place during your event or while you add safety pins for extra stability. Then when you’re done, you can remove the material the ballgown is back to a solid basic garment you can use with other cosplays!
Abby Hatcher from Nickelodeon’s Abby Hatcher
On the Nickelodeon show Abby Hatcher, Abby (voiced by Macy Drouin) is a precocious 7-year-old girl. She uses her Fuzzly Spotter to keep track of the Fuzzlies in her family’s hotel and help them when the need it. Her best friend is Bozzly, a rabbit Fuzzly who can make himself invisible and fly. Abby’s outfit consists of a black t-shirt with a pink heart, pink skirt, and lots of orange and purple details. If you don’t have a real Fuzzly Spotter, a purple or orange wristwatch would stand in pretty well.
