Carbon Costume

Yorkie (MacKenzie Davis) and Kelly Booth (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) are the protagonists of “San Junipero,” an episode of the British sci-fi anthology, Black Mirror. The episode has been critically acclaimed and has won two Emmy awards. Set in the beach resort town of San Junipero, the plot centers around Yorkie and Kelly’s love story throughout the decades. Its twist reveals an elderly Yorkie on her deathbed, for the town is part of nostalgia therapy that involves simulated reality. When Kelly dies, she chooses to join Yorkie in San Junipero so they can be eternally happily together. This would make a great couples costume for fans of the show. For Kelly’s look, use hot glue or E6000 to adhere the rhinestones on the collar and all around the purple fringe jacket. Then attach the rhinestone patches to each shoulder. You can get a better look of her jacket here.

“Fifteen Million Merits” is the second episode of the dystopian thriller, Black Mirror. The plot revolves around a group of people who ride stationary bikes to earn merits that pay for their daily activities. Bing (Daniel Kaluuya) inherits fifteen million merits from his deceased brother, which he uses to buy Abi (Jessica Brown Findlay) a ticket for the televised talent show, Hot Shot. She sings “Anyone Who Knows What Love Is (Will Understand),” a song that’s used throughout the series.
