Carbon Costume

Ember Lumen (voiced by Leah Lewis) is the protagonist of the Disney and Pixar film Elemental.  Ember is made of fire and struggles to maintain her temper.  She loves her parents and helps them run their shop even though it isn’t her dream.  After she meets Wade Ripple, Ember eventually learns to reel in her temper and go after what she really wants.  To recreate Ember’s fiery look, you’ll need to be a little creative.  Layering sheer red pieces beneath your dress and jacket will help you appear more flame-like.  Use a bodysuit, pants, and heels, as well as opera gloves. Ruched or fluttery pieces will evoke more of the rippling flame appearance Ember has in the movie.  You can tuck the pants into your heels to help them taper at the bottom.  Ember’s dress is sleeveless and high-collared with a diamond-like pattern.  You can choose a longer-sleeved version or layer a beaded dress over a plain black one.  Finish the look with a flame wig, a colorful bomber jacket, and a gold belt.

The Flame Princess (voiced by Jessica DiCicco) is a character in the cartoon series Adventure Time.  Real name Phoebe, the Flame Princess is short-tempered, with a tendency for mood swings.  She has two primary looks throughout the series.  The first consists of a two-layered dress, which you can recreate by wearing a duster over a maxi dress, secured with a lightweight pin that has a gemstone motif.  Her second look is more battle-ready, with trousers and boots, and armor with red highlights.  No matter which version you choose, you’ll need a wig and face gems to adhere to your forehead.  If you want to take it one step further, you can use golden yellow body paint.
