Carbon Costume

Dinner in America is a 2022 film that has been trending online. It tells the story of a punk rocker named Simon and a girl named Patty, obsessed with his band as they go on a journey together. This would make a perfect couples costume, alongside the character of Simon.

To dress like Patty, wear a multicolor striped tee tucked into denim shorts. Pair with glasses, a black studded belt, orange sneakers, and blue socks.

Janine Lindo (Madeline Brewer) is a main character in The Handmaid’s Tale in both the novel by Margaret Atwood and 2017 television adaptation on Hulu. Previously known as Ofwarren, Ofdaniel, and Ofhoward, she was inducted as a Handmaid at the same time as June Osborne. Her right eye was removed by the Red Center as punishment for lashing out. At first, her damaged mental state ensures her subservience, but her repeated abuse causes her to work against the government from the inside, eventually seeking escape. The television series portrays Janine as somewhat more rebellious than her literary counterpart.

Julie is the main character in the film The Worst Person in the World, and is played by Renate Reinsve. The film follows Julie for four years as she navigates life and love. She has a very simple, realistic but flattering wardrobe that can be easily recreated.

One look is a white jumpsuit that is short sleeved, and wraps in the front. Another is a simple and timeless black satin dress that has a straight neck that drapes at the front and spaghetti straps. And finally, the one we see on the cover in the impressive running scene is a navy blue button down shirt, khaki shorts, and white sneakers with red and blue detail.

Hank Moody is the protagonist of the television series Californication, and is played by David Duchovny. Californication follows Hank, a troubled writer from New York who is experiencing writers block, moves to California and gets caught up in different situations from relationships to addiction.

Hank dresses in the way you might expect a writer would, with a slightly 90s style. He wears lots of blazers and blue tones that he makes more casual with a pair of jeans or a t-shirt. To dress like Hank Moody, layer a brown or blue blazer with a blue shirt and a pair of narrow sunglasses.

Rebecca-Diane is a character from the film Theater Camp and is played by Molly Gordon. The film follows Rebecca-Diane and Amos 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.

Rebecca-Diane has a style that follows trends but is also slightly mis-matched. She typically wears a sweater vest over a white shirt, a floral maxi skirt, and even adds a cream cardigan at one point. She always wears a light blue ribbon in her hair and a brown necklace that is similar to the one Amos wears.

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.

Richie is from the series The Bear and is played by Ebon Moss-Bachrach. The Bear is about a chef named Carmen who has quit fine dining and returns to Chicago to try and fix the run down sandwich shop, previously owned by his brother who passed. We follow his struggles in gaining respect from the previous kitchen staff while dealing with grief and the stressful environment all at once. Richie, also referred to as ‘Cousin’, goes through major change and growth throughout the seasons. He started off being very short-tempered and now in the latest episode he has grown to be mature and collected.

One of the moments that shows us Richie’s growth is actually through his costume. After he gets experience at a high-end restaurant, he makes the decision to always wear suits. Through this we see a new level of respect from him, as he really makes an effort to work on himself and is really someone we all begin to root for. Before this, he dressed very casually with tees and shirts with their logo, along with his signature leather bomber jacket.

Marianne is a character from the series Normal People and is played by Daisy Edgar-Jones. The show is based off of the original book by Sally Rooney and is about Marianne and Connell who both live in a small Ireland town. They come from different backgrounds and are in and out of each others lives as they grow up and mature throughout the series.

Marianne has a style that changes a lot throughout the series as she gets older and finds herself. We start by seeing her in high school with a uniform, but as she goes to college and beyond that, we see her explore different styles as she is trying to find her own identity. As she gets older her costumes seem to fit her and her personality better, while other times we can see that she is trying new things that don’t really seem like herself. In college she dresses in vintage, colorful pieces that fits in with the cool crowd around her. When she visits Italy, she wears pieces that seem to fit her best and are much more simple like her black maxi dress.
