Carbon Costume Women
Little Orphan Annie
Little Orphan Annie first started as a comic strip then expanded to Broadway and the movie screen. Annie is a plucky orphan who’s known for her mop of red curly hair and catchphrases like “leapin’ lizards!”. Together with her dog Sandy, she eventually becomes part of “Daddy” Warbucks’ family.
There’s Something About Mary
In There’s Something About Mary, Mary Jensen (Cameron Diaz) attracts every man around her, whether she wants to or not. Maybe it’s because she’s a little goofy and doesn’t mind sporting a bad hair doo.
Darla Marks
Don’t let this Senior from Dazed and Confused catch you standing during an air raid. Darla Marks (Parker Posey) gets immense pleasure from hazing the incoming freshmen by making them lay on the ground while she sprays them with condiments. And if you don’t like it then you can just lick her, all of you!
Nicki Minaj
Nicki Minaj is a songwriter and rapper known as much for her bubblegum outfits and music videos as her chart-topping singles.
Baby from Dirty Dancing
Frances “Baby” Houseman (Jennifer Grey) develops a crush on dance instructor Johnny Castle after seeing his “dirty dancing” moves. She becomes his dance partner and at first their personalities clash, but they eventually have the time of their lives.
Red Riding Hood
In Red Riding Hood, Valerie (Amanda Seyfried) lives in a village that’s being terrorized by a werewolf. You’d think she’d wear something more low key than a bright red cape.
Mrs. Doubtfire
Helllooo, it’s Mrs. Doubtfire! Daniel Hillard (Robin Williams) creates the alias Mrs. Doubtfire to spend time with his kids after he and his wife separate. At one point he desperately tries to hide his real face by smooshing it into a cake – you could also recreate this look by the same method.
Alice, Sweet Alice
In Alice, Sweet Alice, a person in a translucent mask and yellow raincoat kills Karen Spages (Brooke Shields) on her day of First Communion. All eyes turn to her older sister Alice (Paula Sheppard), who has a jealous streak and has the same yellow coat.
Ugly Betty
In Ugly Betty, Betty Suarez (America Ferrera) lands a secretarial job at a high fashion magazine despite her quirky sense of style. When it comes to her clothing, she’s not at all afraid to be bold with colors or patterns.
Mimi Bobeck
Mimi Bobeck (Kathy Kinney) made Drew Carey’s work life hell. If she wasn’t calling him names like Doughboy then she was coming up with pranks, like sending him to China while unconscious. You’ll have to have the same self-confidence that she does if you want to pull off her flamboyant look.
