Carbon Costume

Maxine (played by Mia Goth) is an up-and-coming adult film star in Ti West’s X.  Maxine is a small-town girl with big dreams who follows her boyfriend to a secluded farm in Texas to shoot a porn movie with co-stars Bobby-Lynne and Jackson that is supposed to be her big break.  Things don’t go quite to plan, however, and Maxine and the others find themselves fighting for their lives instead of hitting it big.  Maxine has a very appropriately-70s look about her.  She begins the film wearing a striped tube top and shorts, while later changing into denim shortalls and boots, both of which are part of her film costume.  She also wears stark blue eye shadow and has freckles around her right eye and cheek, which you can mimic with a brown makeup pencil.

Jackson (played by Kid Cudi) is the male lead in The Farmer’s Daughters, the porn movie at the heart of Ti West’s horror film X.  Jackson is a Vietnam War veteran who heads to a secluded Texas farm to make an adult film along with fellow actors Bobby-Lynne and Maxine.  Jackson served as a Marine and still wears his dog tags.  When trying to recreate his look from the film, there are a few ways you can choose to go about it.  By focusing more on the colors used (a pale yellow shirt and light blue suit), you may have more options available to you.  You could also go for a men’s disco costume in a similar color.  And if you’re really committed to portraying Jackson perfectly, and are willing to shell out to do so, you might even find a vintage leisure suit in a matching color.

Bobby-Lynne (played by Brittany Snow) is the confident blonde co-star of Maxine and Jackson in the horror film X.  She is a confident, sexually liberated woman who heads to a secluded Texas farm to make an adult film called The Farmer’s Daughters.  Bobby-Lynne proves she’s fashionable with her bleach-blonde hair and yellow eye shadow.  Before she changes into her farmer’s daughter costume, she wears a bright-colored romper and platform sandals.  Finding an exact match for the costume can be tough, so don’t be afraid to be interpretive.  You can use any orange romper paired with the right accessories. Or, if you’re a fan of the draping of Bobby-Lynne’s, a halter tank layered over a pair of shorts in a matching shade can also do the trick.

Nick Goode (played by Ted Sutherland in the 1978 installation) is a counselor at Camp Nightwing. He’s fond of Ziggy Berman. More fond than a counselor should be. That all goes out the window when another camper goes on a rampage and starts targeting kids from Shadyside. Kids like Ziggy. Nick tries to keep her safe, but he’s not as innocent as he may seem.

There are two ways to get Nick Goode’s look. Both looks use a pair of tight jeans, classic sneakers, and a short dark wig. One look pairs all that with a baseball-style shirt in red and white while the other uses a Camp Nightwing counselor’s shirt.

Ziggy Berman (played by Sadie Sink) just wanted to get through summer at camp. Being from Shadyside and targeted by the kids from Sunnyvale, that’s a tall order all on its own. Then someone starts killing campers. Shadyside campers. He goes after Ziggy’s sister, dragging Ziggy right into the line of fire. And the danger doesn’t end when she ends up as the camp’s final girl.

A Ziggy cosplay is a great closet cosplay option. Brown corduroy shorts pair up with a striped tank top or a Camp Nightwing t-shirt, tall socks, and classic sneakers for a ’70s summer camp look. A red wig is the only special piece. That and the fake blood you’ll need if you want her mid-terror look.

Oscar Madison is a main character in the sitcom The Odd Couple, based on the play by Neil Simon. Although this show has had many reboots and spin-offs, Jack Klugman portrayed Oscar in the original show from the 1970s. He is the messy best friend of Felix Unger. He enjoys drinking beer and smoking cigars. When both their wives leave, they move into an apartment together, and hilarity ensues. Unlike Felix, he maintains a sloppy sense of style. His main outfit includes gray sweats and a Mets baseball cap.

Felix Unger is a main character in the sitcom The Odd Couple, based on the play by Neil Simon. Although this show has had many reboots and spin-offs, Tony Randall portrayed Felix in the original show from the 1970s. He is the strait-laced, fretful best friend of Oscar Madison. He enjoys singing, mainly with the opera club. When both their wives leave, they move into an apartment together, and hilarity ensues. Unlike Oscar, he maintains a neat, professional sense of style. While he mainly wears suits, he owns some shirts with funky patterns, as well as an orange robe.

Florence Henderson is best known for portraying one of television’s most beloved mothers, Carol Brady. The matriarch of a large blended family that has more than its fair share of adventures, Carol is the cool and compassionate leader when things go astray. When, that is, her kids let her in on the mischief. After all it’s not easy keeping up with six kids with appetites for adventure like the Brady kids have!

Carol’s look straddles the split between the ’60s and the ’70s. She wears her hair short and usually opts for dresses over pants, though she can be found in pants when she’s got business to take care of. For a look close to period-accurate, go for a plaid dress with a Pater Pan collar and long sleeves. Accessorize with a white patent leather belt and matching boots over nylons as well as a headband over a wig that matches Carol’s bob. Finish the look off with Mrs. Brady’s wedding ring for the ultimate TV mom look.
