Carbon Costume

Geppetto (played by Tom Hanks) is the kindly old clockmaker who makes a puppet and wishes him to life in the Disney live-action remake of Pinocchio.  When Geppetto wishes on a star for his puppet to come to life, the Blue Fairy grants his wish, which starts Pinocchio on his quest to become a real boy.  In the live-action version of the movie, Geppetto is depicted as an old man with grey hair and a mustache who wears glasses.  His costuming includes an oversized shirt, vest, and green pants, with long wool socks and buckle shoes.

J. Worthington Foulfellow, better known as Honest John (voiced by Keegan-Michael Key), is an anthropomorphic fox and con artist in the 2022 live-action remake of Pinocchio.  Honest John is charismatic as can be, and eventually convinces Pinocchio to join Stromboli after trapping Jiminy Cricket in a jar so he can’t intervene.  Honest John’s outfit is a hodgepodge of different elements.  First, you’ll need plaid pants and a red jacket as well as a blue and gold shawl fashioned like a cape with a gold chain to hold it in place.  Though your first instinct may be to get brown plaid dress pants, a pair of pajama bottoms may better emulate the bagginess of Honest John’s movie look.  You’ll also need a fox mask, tail, and slippers to pair with your outfit.  The finishing touches include a top hat, cane, and white gloves with ruffled cuffs.

Ming Lee (voiced by Sandra Oh) is the overbearing mother of Mei Lee in the Disney Pixar feature Turning Red.  Ming runs the family temple along with her husband and daughter, and tends to have very rigid ideas of who her daughter is and what will make her happy, which is challenged when Mei undergoes her red panda transformation. Unless you’re crafty enough to sew your own, you’re unlikely to find an exact match for Ming’s traditional dress, so opt for ones in shades of green or blue instead.  She also wears a green blazer and flats, green earrings, and a jade wedding band.  Her panda spirit is locked away in a red gemstone necklace at the beginning of the film, which is replaced with her daughter’s pink Tamagotchi by the end of the movie, so choose whichever you prefer to complete the look.

Priya Mangal is a main character in the Pixar movie Turning Red.  Priya is the most mellow of her group of friends, which includes Mei Lee, Abby Park, and Miriam Mendelsohn.  Priya is a big fan of the macabre, first introduced reading a vampire romance novel.  Priya has round glasses and a nose piercing and is depicted in a yellow striped shirt and brown pants.

She dons shades of green in nearly every aspect of her clothing, from her beanie to her flannel and accessories.
