Carbon Costume Women
Elphaba from Wicked
Wicked gives the backstory of Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West in The Wizard of Oz. Born with green skin, she’s is neglected in favor of her beautiful sister Nessarose. When Elphaba starts college, she’s ignored in favor of her popular roommate Galinda. When they’re ready to fly, Galinda gets a bubble while Elphaba gets a dirty broomstick. How’s that fair?
A League of Their Own
A League of Their Own stars Geena Davis, Madonna, and Rosie O’Donnell as members of the Rockford Peaches, a team in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. Go ahead and try sliding for home plate in this dress, but just remember that there’s no crying in baseball.
Chun-Li
Chun-Li is notable for being the first well-known playable female video game character, who was first introduced in the game Street Fighter. This has earned her the title of “first lady of fighting games.” Don’t let her cute hairstyle fool you though. She packs a mean kick with her trademark Lightening Kick and Spinning Bird Kick moves.
Vexy the Naughty Smurf
In The Smurfs 2, the evil wizard Gargamel creates a naughty smurf named Vexy (voiced by Christina Ricci). He hopes she’ll be a bad influence on the Smurfs, turning them to the dark side. With this costume, you can dye the smurf hat gray or use it to give the beanie that smurfy shape.
Betty Boop
Betty Boop made her debut in the 1930’s and is considered to be one of the first sex symbols on the animated screen. She is representative of the Jazz Age flappers and a symbol of the Depression era. She even made a cameo appearance in Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
Smurfette
Smurfette was originally made by Gargamel in order to distract the Smurfs and capture them. Gargamel’s plan backfired though because the Smurfs’ kindness made her want to be a Smurf. She originally had short black hair but after Papa Smurf turned her into a real Smurf, she emerged with long blonde locks.
Jessica Rabbit
Jessica Rabbit’s sultry style translates well into the real world. A red sequined dress paired with long purple gloves is likely to make a few jaws drop. Top the look off with red lipstick and people may even let you get away with marrying a rabbit. Then again, this isn’t Toontown.
Princess Bubblegum
In Adventure Time, Princess Bonnibel Bubblegum rules the Candy Kingdom, a land inhabited by dessert humanoids. Although she’s usually nice and well-mannered, her temper can flare up on occasion. She’s a love interest of Finn the Human and frenemies with Marceline.
Katniss Everdeen
Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) is a 16-year-old girl who volunteers in place of her younger sister for the Hunger Games. She hails from District 12, a poor, desolate coal-mining region that has sharpened her hunting and survival skills.
