Carbon Costume archaeologist
Lara Croft from Shadow of the Tomb Raider
Lara Croft (voiced by Camilla Luddington) is back in the latest iteration of the well-known adventure game. Shadow of the Tomb Raider is the third, and reportedly, last, game in the Survivor Timeline of the series. Lara’s look remains as gritty and practical as in earlier installments, with dark cargo pants, fingerless gloves, and a blue and black tank top as her primary costume. It’s unlikely you’ll find pieces to exactly match her in-game outfits, so focus on getting as close as you can. Lara uses a pickaxe that would set you back several hundred dollars, so if you decide to accessorize with one, don’t be afraid to go with a cheaper model.
Milo Thatch
In Atlantis: The Lost Empire, Milos Thatch (voiced by Michael J. Fox) has a passion for archaeology, language, and antiquities, which he takes after his grandfather. He works as a linguist and cartographer for the Smithsonian Institute, and he soon finds himself on an expedition to rediscover Atlantis.
Dr. Daniel Jackson
Highly intelligent, intensely curious, wildly theoretical and with a penchant for sneezing, professor of Egyptology Daniel Jackson (James Spader) from the 1994 sci-fi flick Stargate traipses across an unknown world in search of knowledge, exploration and, unexpectedly, love. While off-world, he wears a loose robe and shawls given to him by the local tribe over his standard army clothes.
Indiana Jones
Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) is a college professor of archaeology who would rather go on an adventure than lecture. He’s known for making good use of his bullwhip, although he’s not afraid to use his gun when the situation calls for it. In fact, the only thing he seems to be afraid of are snakes.
Lara Croft Reborn
In this 2013 reboot of the Tomb Raider franchise, Lara Croft is a young and ambitious archaeologist on a quest to find the lost kingdom of Yamatai. She’s added new skills to her repertoire, including stealthing, ziplining, and shooting a bow and arrows. She’s also looking more like a grungy survivalist than ever before.
Lara Croft
Lara Croft is just your average run-of-the-mill English archaeologist. Dodging boulders, navigating through ancient ruins, and fighting giant stone statues is just your typical day for this video game icon. She’s been somersaulting through hazardous tombs for over a decade and she’s only getting better.
