Carbon Costume

In Mean Girls, Regina George (Rachel McAdams) is the queen bee of The Plastics clique. Despite her spiteful, mean, and superficial personality everyone in high school wants to be like her. So when she wears a shirt revealing her bra, of course everyone else starts doing it too.

In The Zero Theorem, Bainsley (Melanie Thierry) first enters Qohen Leth’s life when she saves him from choking on an olive at a party. She continues to show interest in the odd computer programmer, which seems a bit odd itself.

In Blade Runner, Pris (Daryl Hannah) is one of four escaped replicants that Deckard is sent to “retire”. A “basic pleasure model”, she goes into hiding with a genetic designer who is sympathetic to their plight.

Yayoi Kusama is a Japanese artist who’s best known for her works involving repetition of patterns and psychedelic colors. You can take a cue from her artwork and create your own costume by repeating a polka dot pattern on a red dress.

In Vikings, Lagertha (Katheryn Winnick) is wife to Ragnar Lothbrok and mother to Bjorn. But she is not defined by the men around her — as a shieldmaiden, she will make a name for herself through her courage and cunning.

Ariel is a rebellious mermaid princess who has a fascination with the human world. She strikes a deal with Ursula the seawitch to transform her into a human after she falls for Prince Eric. If you’d rather walk than swim, you can always opt for the skirt instead of the mermaid tail.

In Divergent, Beatrice “Tris” Prior (Shailene Woodley) is a 16-year old girl who chooses to train under the Dauntless faction, though in reality she is divergent, posing a danger in the eyes of the government. Tris wears mostly tight black clothes that fit the Dauntless lifestyle of training and battle.

In Gravity Falls, Mabel Pines (voiced by Kristen Schaal) is an outgoing, energetic girl whose personality matches her extremely colorful sweaters. She spends her summer vacation at her great-uncle’s in Oregon with her twin brother Dipper.
