Carbon Costume Women
Yayoi Kusama
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.
Lagertha
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 The Little Mermaid
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.
Tris Prior
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.
Mabel Pines
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.
Helga G. Pataki
In Hey Arnold!, Helga Geraldine Pataki is a 4th grader who can be bossy and a bit of a tomboy. She’s secretly in love with Arnold, but shows it by teasing him as little children do.
Olive Penderghast
In easy A, Olive Penderghast’s (Emma Stone) reputation is ruined after a rumor spreads about her. Instead of hiding in shame, she embraces her new image as the school tramp by wearing lingerie and accessorizing with a scarlet letter “A”.
Cosima Niehaus
In Orphan Black, Cosima Niehaus (Tatiana Maslaney) is a PhD microbiology student and one of several doppelgangers spread throughout North America and Europe that someone is targeting to kill. Tattooed, pierced, and dreadlocked, Cosima is the eccentric clone of the club.
