Carbon Costume

Lila Rossi (voiced by Lisa Kay Jennings) is an antagonist on the animated show Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir.  Lila is originally from Italy and inserts herself as a romantic rival to Marinette Dupain-Cheng as they both vie for the affection of Adrien Agreste.  Lila also serves as the villain Volpina.  Lila’s civilian clothes consist of a blue romper layered under a red jacket and over grey tights.  Her auburn hair turns darker when she undertakes the form of Volpina.  If you choose to don her villain alter-ego, it may take some searching to find the costume in the right size as it’s more readily available for children than adults.

Clyde Donovan (voiced primarily by Trey Parker) is a student at South Park Elementary and part of Craig‘s gang on the long-running animated series South Park.  He is considered the “second fattest kid” after Eric Cartman.  Clyde has messy brown hair and is typically seen in a red coat with blue trim and often wears matching blue mittens.  Finding an exact match for his jacket can be tricky, but you can emulate his costuming by using a blue scarf and tucking it in at the front.

Joe Swanson (voiced by Patrick Warburton) is a main character on the Fox animated series Family Guy.  Best friends with Peter, Cleveland, and Quagmire, Joe is a police officer who is in a wheelchair as a result of an injury sustained on the job.  Joe is quick to anger and his deep voice is often used to great comedic effect.  Joe’s costuming is rather simple and if you already have a wheelchair, there are only a few pieces you will need to collect, depending on whether you’d like to be Joe in uniform or relaxing at the Clam with his buddies.

Gargamel is a wizard and the main antagonist of The Smurfs television program, comic books, and associated films.  Gargamel created Smurfette, who was later brought to life by Papa Smurf, but has sworn to eliminate the Smurfs.  He also has an orange cat named Azazel who helps him antagonize the Smurfs.  Gargamel is a balding man with dark hair and bushy eyebrows.  He wears a black robe with green patches on the elbows and a purple patch on the abdomen.  If you want to go the extra mile and add these embellishments to a black monk’s robe, you can use colored felt squares cut to size and either sewn or glued in place.

Bill Green (voiced by Bob Joles) is the father of the Green Family in the Disney Channel series Big City Greens. A hardworking farmer and handyman, Bill is the father of Tilly and Cricket.  Bill’s clothes typically consist of a green shirt, red hat, and sensible blue jeans.  His pants are caked in dirt and have a tear in the left knee.

Mysterion (voiced by Matt Stone) is the secret vigilante identity of Kenny McCormick on the adult cartoon series South Park.  Recreating Mysterion’s look might take a little preparation and effort, but it will make for a kickass costume once complete.  First, you’ll need to find a question mark headband.  It’s difficult to find one in green, so get the lightest shade possible and paint over it instead.  Use the same paint to adorn the front of your light purple jumpsuit with a capital ‘M.’  Cut a hole large enough to fit the question mark through the top of your hood (since these headbands are sold in a two-pack, you can paint one and use the other to measure the hole).  Then, once the headband is dry, put on your black eye mask first, then the question mark headband, and carefully slip the hood over top.  After that, all that’s left is to layer the white briefs and belt over your jumpsuit, pull on your boots and gloves, and dash off to keep the citizens of South Park safe!

Clarence Francis “Kick” Buttowski (voiced by Charlie Schlatter) is the protagonist of the Disney Channel series Kick Buttowski: Suburban Daredevil.  Kick is a stubborn ten-year-old obsessed with becoming the world’s greatest daredevil stuntman.  Kick’s costume consists of a white jumpsuit and helmet with yellow booties and gloves.  If you’d like to add the red stripe to your jumpsuit, a little red fabric paint and a steady hand can get the job done, as long as you leave your costume enough time to dry.

Stacy (Ashley Taylor) may seem a little bossy. But what is a girl to do when she knows what she wants and how to get things done? She really does love her friends and family and means well. But boy do they sometimes get on her nerves!

Stacy’s look makes for a great closet cosplay. An orange tank top, orange skirt, and yellow socks cuffed above pink shoes is an easy look using pieces that can transition to other cosplays or work with your daily wardrobe. The most intensive part of the cosplay is her hair which you can replicate with your own hair and some pomade if you are so inclined.
