Carbon Costume

Lisa Frankenstein (Kathryn Newton) is a new 80s style horror/comedy film by Zelda Williams. Set in 1989, the film follows a teenager named Lisa in high school who has a new crush that turns out to be an reanimated corpse.

Lisa’s style is one that has lots of layers and is oh-so-80s. To dress like Lisa, wear a black sheer dotted shirt with a corset style tank top layered on top, and layered over that is a bolero sleeve top. Pair with a black tulle skirt with a wide black waist belt. Under that wear black tights, black fishnet tights or layer both with black combat boots. She also wears a headband that features a large black bow, black sunglasses, small silver hoop earrings, and finally a red lipstick and nail polish.

Allison is the main character in the film A Good Person by Zach Braff, and is played by Florence Pugh. A Good Person is a charming but emotional film that tackles topics like addiction and grief.

Allison has a unique and bright style in the film. The costumes in this are not those of a typical movie about a struggling or depressed person. Her wardrobe is bright with fun patterns because they are what she owned previous to beginning her journey through addition and recovery, which is a much more realistic take. Although, the way she styles them is what shows her decline and state of mind. Some looks and pieces you can replicate in your own wardrobe is one like this bright gold and floral satin robe paired with navy and white printed leggings, a cozy oversized sweater with a diamond/ argyle type print paired with green leggings, and earlier in the film she wears this fun dusty rose-pink corduroy cap.

Saltburn is a new film by Emerald Fennel that follows Oliver Quick as he stays in his rich classmate Felix’s estate, and a series of horrifying events occur. Pamela is a friend of Felix’s mother Elspeth and is at Saltburn in the beginning of the film when Oliver arrives, and is played by Carey Mulligan.

Although we only see a short glimpse of Pamela’s style, it’s one that leaves a strong and memorable impression. She has blunt bangs, heavy makeup, lots of pearls and English-inspired jewelry pieces. To recreate some of her looks, wear a black knitted sleeve top over a black dress. Another is a black dress on which you can sew on small pearls to resemble buttons down the front, wear a ruffled Dickey collar underneath, lots of pearl bracelets and a ginger wig that could be styled like Pamela’s with short cut bangs.

Ricky Bobby is a character from the comedy film Talladega Nights and is played by Will Ferrell. Talladega Nights follows NASCAR star Ricky Bobby at the height of his success, until another champion Jean Girard is in the picture and causes Ricky to lose it all.

Ricky Bobby’s iconic costume is his racing uniform that features the Wonder-bread logo as the sponsor on the hat and shirt. Wear the jacket, pants, and hat as the main costume. To go even further, add black racing shoes and a helmet to carry.

Jo is a character from the film Showing Up, and is played by Hong Chau. Showing Up follows an introverted art student and a sculptor named Lizzy, who is preparing for her exhibition as she struggles with finding balance with her creative work and everyday struggles, and the unexpected friend she finds in a pigeon she nurses back to health. Jo is also an art student working on an exhibition, but she is very accomplished and extroverted.

Jo dresses in more saturated colors with lots of blues, like her costume on the tire swing with blue jeans, a blue sweatshirt, yellow bandana, and crocs. At Lizzy’s art exhibit she wears a little more of a sophisticated or mature deeper blue maxi dress.

Dana Barret is a character from the famous 1984 film Ghostbusters and is played by Sigourney Weaver. Dana is a woman who lives in New York and is a professional musician. She is also the first client of the Ghostbusters.

Dana Barret has a very 80s wardrobe, consisting of lots of warm pieces like coats, sweaters, and scarves as she lives in New York. To re-create this look wear a gray sweater dress, layered with a black belt at the waist, and over that a purple plaid scarf. She also has accessories like her pearl bracelet and silver watch.

Dieter Bravo is a character from the comedy film The Bubble, and is played by Pedro Pascal. The Bubble follows a movie cast as they aim to create a blockbuster action film while quarantining at a hotel. Dieter is an experienced actor that is struggling with addiction and develops a love interest with a front desk worker at the hotel.

Dieter has two different kinds of looks, when he’s in quarantine in the hotel and his costume when he is on set filming the movie. In his room he wears a bathrobe, pajama pants, a t-shirt, and sunglasses. For his costume, he wears a red puffer jacket and black pants.

Anyone But You is a new comedy/romance film directed by Will Gluck, and stars Sydney Sweeney as Bea and alongside her, Glen Powell as Ben. In the film, we follow the two characters as they have a successful first date that quickly turns upside down. They later unexpectedly run into each other at a wedding in Australia and pretend to be the perfect couple together.

Ben’s suit is perfect for summer and can easily be recreated. This look consists of a cream linen blazer, cream linen dress pants, a white button-down shirt, and boat/ deck shoes in a brown color.
