Carbon Costume Women
Jeryline
Jeryline is one of the many unfortunate souls in the film Tales From The Crypt: Demon Knight. I had just watched this movie days ago and love her character due to how relatable and inspiring she is. This film deserves more attention if it hasn’t gotten any already!
Jeryline’s outfit is straight out of the ’90s with it’s matching fabric and grungy attitude sported as an alternative streetwear image. The pieces needed to pull off her look are: a blue denim shirt (with the sleeves cut off), a white cropped shirt, a pair of ratty denim blue jeans, a bleached casual buzzcut, abandana, piercings for both ears, some black working gloves, and a pair of chukka ankle boots.
Trixie
Trixie (Kathleen Barr) is an illusionist pony who resides in Ponyville, and is close friends with the reformed Starlight Glimmer (Kelly Sheridan). She acts as both a villain and a hero throughout My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, often falling victim to her own pride and ambition. She often dramatically refers to herself as “The Great and Powerful Trrrrrixie!”
Malory Archer
In Archer, Malory Archer (Jessica Walter) is the head of ISIS, or the International Secret Intelligence Service. She is cruel to her employees, often mocking or belittling them, with no exception being her son Sterling Archer. Like her son as well, she is a textbook alcoholic.
Mrs. Peacock
In the film, Clue, Mrs. Peacock (Eileen Brennan) is the high society wife of a Senator. She is a guest of Mr. Boddy’s party, and is being blackmailed for accepting bribes to deliver her husband’s vote. To stay true to the board game, Mrs. Peacock killed the cook in the kitchen with the knife.
Misa Amane
Misa Amane is the female love interest for protagonist Light Yagami in the anime and manga series, Death Note. Represented in the series as a beautiful, innocent form of comic relief to the megalomaniac that is Light, her fashion style is a mixture of gothic and Lolita: differentiating between her feminine youthful attitude and dark but deadly willpower.
The most known outfit of hers is her signature black clothes her character was wearing when introducing herself to Light. It’s a fairly simple look, one that just screams goth. The pieces needed are a leather black corset (with straps/bra underneath), a plain black choker, a silver cross necklace, a black leather or vinyl skirt, black floral lace stockings and sleeves, red nail polish, blonde hair pulled into thin grungy pigtails with front strands and bangs, and lastly a pair of black combat boots (just a bit high above the ankle).
Bombshell Vixen
DC Bombshells is an alternate reality where female superheroes guard the homefront during WWII. In this reality, Vixen is reimagined as a jazzy lounge singer.
The Beldam (Coraline’s “Other Mother”)
In the creepiest kid’s movie you’ll ever see, the Beldam (Teri Hatcher) is a creature that exists in an alternate world discovered by Coraline’s titular character. Posing as a more fun version of Coraline’s (Dakota Fanning) mother, the Beldam in its true form is a tall and willowy spider-like creature who kidnaps children and loves them obsessively until they die. The main physical difference between Coraline’s true mother and the Beldam in her mother’s form are the two shiny black buttons that cover her eyes.
Polaris from The Gifted
Polaris (Emma Dumont), birth name Lorna Dane, is a main character in the 2017 Fox series The Gifted. She is a mutant with the ability to manipulate magnetism. She is also the daughter of Magneto.
Celty Sturluson
Also known as The Black Rider or The Headless Rider, Celty (Miyuki Sawashiro / Kari Wahlgren) is an Irish fairy in Japan seeking her missing head in Durarara!! While doing so, she works as an underground transporter and lives with her love interest, Shinra Kishitani (Jun Fukuyama / Yuri Lowenthal). She is almost always seen in her black catsuit and yellow motorcycle helmet, as she’s self-conscious about the fact that she lacks a head.
Zoe Washburne
The devoted first officer and right-hand-man of captain Malcolm Reynolds, Zoe Washburne (Gina Torres) serves up a military attitude, wry wisecracks and crack shots in the first and only season of the fan-favorite TV show Firefly. Dressed like a Brown Coat (the rebel faction she and Mal served under) in a leather vest, gun holster and weathered boots, she looks as tough as she acts.
