Carbon Costume

PJ is a character from the film Bottoms, and is played by Rachel Sennott. Bottoms follows PJ and her best friend Josie who are seniors at Rock Ridge High School. They create a fight club together at their school to get the attention of her crush Brittany.

PJ has a big personality compared to Josie and this reflects into her costumes. While Josie sticks to cool colors, PJ wears warm ones with lots of red. One recognizable costume is her red rugby s oversized shirt that would make a great duo/matching costume with Josie in the scene that wears a blue one. Add a bandage to your nose and makeup to create a bruised eye to complete the look. Another look is this bold and colorful outfit with a multicolored striped shirt, black suspenders, and brown corduroy pants.

Amos is a character from the film Theater Camp and is played by Ben Platt. The film follows Amos and Rebecca-Diane who have to join forces with other teachers in an upstate New York theater camp after the founder falls into a coma. These eccentric characters have to work together to keep the place running before opening night.

Amos has a distinct style, often wearing a striped button down shirt worn over a graphic or solid to shirt. He also wears a brown necklace and joggers/ drawstring pants.

Amy Antsler is from the movie Booksmart, and is played by Kaitlyn Dever. Amy is one of the two protagonists of the film, the other being Molly Davidson, her best friend. This comedy takes place at the end of their senior year, where they attempt to experience things they haven’t in school like partying, but all in one night before graduation.

Amy wears lots of layers in her outfits that really show us her personality. She wears lots of blues and reds, with pieces that have an outdoor-sy and western influence like her shirt, the red button down, denim jacket, and bolo tie. She also wears matching blue coveralls at one point in the movie on one of the adventures she goes on with Molly.

Sherri Ann Cabot is from the comedy mockumentary called Best in Show. Best in Show is about the people behind the world of dog shows, the dog owners. This hilarious movie introduces us to five competitors and their dogs and we follow them as they prepare and attend a prestigious dog show. Each have very distinct personalities, not only in how they compete but also we can see it clearly in their costumes. One of these characters is Sherri, who along with Christy is entering her poodle named Rhapsody in White (aka Butch) into the competition.

Sherri is a prefect of example of owners resembling their dogs. She wears lots of white and white fur pieces that match perfectly with her dog. Other colors she wears are purple and pink jackets and shirts, and even an animal print vest.

Hank is from the movie Swiss Army Man by The Daniels, and is played by Paul Dano. Hank is a man that has been stranded on a deserted island and runs into Manny, an animated corpse that helps him find the motivation to survive. Hank teaches Manny how to be a person again and through it, questions his old ways and learns about himself.

Hank wears warm tones in comparison to Manny, who wears cool ones. He wears lots of red like his red flannel and red jacket. He of course is also very dirty and his clothes are worn from being on this island. This can be replicated with any kind of brown acrylic or fabric paint to add to the clothes to make them look distressed.

Babette is a character from the film White Noise by Noah Baumbach, and is played by Greta Gerwig. The film is based on the original 1985 novel by Don DeLillo. This story follows college professor Jack Gladney and his family as they’re faced with “The Airborne Toxic Event.” They’re forced to evacuate their home and ultimately face their fear of death throughout the film and we see how each of them cope with this in their own ways. Babette is a very kind character who is married to Jack and teaches classes to the elderly for work.

Babette wears very fitting outfits for a working 80s mom with lots of purple and blue pieces. She tends to wear jeans and high waisted, wide leg, and pleated dress pants that are rolled at the bottom to show her grey suede ankle boots. If you have “important hair” like Babette, this costume could be perfect for you!

Jack is the main character from the film White Noise by Noah Baumbach, and is played by Adam Driver. The film is based on the original 1985 novel by Don DeLillo. This story follows college professor Jack Gladney and his family as they’re faced with “The Airborne Toxic Event.” They’re forced to evacuate their home and ultimately face their fear of death throughout the film and we see how each of them cope with this in their own ways. Jack is married to Babette and is a character that is passionate about his work, curious and eager to learn, and mild-mannered.

Jack has a strong contrast between some of his costumes in the film. When he is at work and giving lectures, he has a kind of persona that is almost theatrical, wearing a black doctorate robe paired with sunglasses which gives him a certain confidence in teaching. Outside of work, he dresses casually with a blue 80s windbreaker and always a funky patterned shirt.

Frances is played by Greta Gerwig and is the main character from the film Frances Ha, directed by Noah Baumbach. The film follows Frances as she navigates living in New York. We watch her face adulthood and try to achieve her dreams of becoming a dancer, but she seems to fall behind the people her age in areas like having her own apartment, a stable job, and being okay with not living with her best friend Sophie that achieves this before she does.

This film is entirely in black in white, but her personality still shines through in what pieces Frances chooses to wear. She is a big outfit-repeater, usually wearing a floral dress with leggings underneath, her signature bomber jacket with a fur collar, and without the jacket she wears a white cardigan around her waist to make her stand out against the also-gray background she’s in. When she gets her office job with the dance company in the end, she dresses professionally in a knee-length skirt and the white button down we see her wear previously that fits perfectly into her new look.
