Carbon Costume

Sophie (played by Amandla Stenberg) is a troubled 20-something at the heart of the A24 film Bodies Bodies Bodies.  Along with her girlfriend Bee, Sophie travels to her childhood best friend David‘s house to hunker down for a hurricane party.  But once the lights go out, the bodies start dropping and it’s impossible to know who to trust.  Sophie has blonde braids and wears heavy eyeliner.  Her outfit consists of black boots, shorts, and a brightly colored tank top.

David (played by Pete Davidson) is the host of a hurricane party in the A24 horror comedy Bodies Bodies Bodies.  David brings together some of his closest friends, including Sophie and Alice, and their significant others to weather the storm.  He’s combative from the start, especially with his girlfriend Emma and Alice’s boy toy Alex.  Once the group begins to play a murder mystery game, the night quickly turns deadly.  David’s death kicks off the whodunnit plot, so don’t be afraid to get creative with a little scar wax and plenty of fake blood to recreate his bloody slit throat demise.

Joy Wang (played by Stephanie Hsu) is the daughter of Evelyn and Waymond in the A24 film Everything Everywhere All at Once.  Joy has a fairly strained relationship with her mother Evelyn; the two often butt heads over a variety of things, including Joy’s desire to introduce her girlfriend to her grandfather.  As originally introduced, Joy favors baggy clothes and has a penchant for comfortable flannel shirts.  Her costuming gets pretty wild, though, when she becomes Jobu Tupaki, an interdimensional villain Evelyn must stop from destroying every universe that exists.  As Jobu, Joy wears a multitude of colorful and unique ensembles.  It might not be possible to completely recreate any one of them in full, so don’t be afraid to go a little wild and interpret one of her looks to make your own.

Waymond Wang (played by Ke Hyu Quan) is the husband of Evelyn and father of Joy in the A24 film Everything Everywhere All at Once.  Waymond (or, at least, a version of him) is the person who first alerts Evelyn to the existence of multiple universes and enlists her to help put a stop to Jobu Tupaki, the great evil threatening them all.  Waymond wears glasses when he is from the same universe as Evelyn, but takes them off when his other self jumps into his consciousness.  He wears a green striped shirt and cargo pants and has a fanny pack that he uses as a devasting weapon.

Wayne (played by Martin Henderson) is the producer behind The Farmer’s Daughters, the porn flick at the heart of Ti West’s Texas-based horror movie X.  Wayne is a standard southern cowboy, with long curly hair, a twang, and a white cowboy hat.  He is the older boyfriend of Maxine, who he left his previous wife for.  Wayne wears a pretty generic outfit with dark jeans and a white hat, but his costume also includes a gold watch, which speaks to his larger aspirations.  During the film, he also shows that he wears a pair of extremely revealing skivvies under his jeans, so if you’re going for authenticity, you may want to invest in a set of men’s white bikini underwear.

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.
