Carbon Costume

The iconic Torch Lady logo for Columbia Pictures has been a version of a woman holding a torch since 1928.  The current version, draped with a blue cloth instead of a flag, is based on a photograph Jenny Johnson taken by photographer Kathy Anderson in 1991.  In the original photograph, the model was draped in a white sheet that was strategically pinned in place.  For your costume, you can choose a flowy sleeveless dress with a v-neck and sandals to evoke the same Greek inspiration as Columbia’s long lineage of logos.  Finish your costume with a curly wig, a long blue scarf draped over your left arm, and a light up torch held aloft in your right hand.
