Carbon Costume

Bayonetta (voiced in Bayonetta 3 by Jennifer Hale) is the titular witch of the PlatinumGames series.  Bayonetta is an Umbra Witch tasked with protecting the multiverse alongside her apprentice Viola in the third installment of the franchise.  Bayonetta’s costume is complex and will require a little creativity to recreate.  As a base, you’ll need black leggings with a lace cutout design and a puffy-sleeved backless shirt.  Bayonetta’s belt and skirt in the game are crafted from her own hair.  If you’d rather not collect your locks to weave a costume, a black obi sash and tutu will suffice.  Lastly, you’ll need light purple gloves, glasses, and a long black wig plaited on either side with red cord.  The gold details of her outfit, if you choose to add them, can be recreated with a glue gun, some gold glue, and applique pieces.  Be strategic about which aspects of her costume are most important to you.  You can add gold flowers to the tutu, floral applique to the gloves, and even some gold details to the heels of your shoes.  Finding a replica gun from the game can be quite expensive, so consider using a toy foam blaster that will help evoke the same feel even if it’s not an exact match.

Samantha (voiced by Jennifer Hale in English and Claire Guyot in French) is a capable spy on the French cartoon series Totally Spies!  Samantha inherited the spy gene from her mom and is under careful surveillance by Jerry Lewis before eventually being asked to join WOOHP where she teams up with fellow spies Alexandra and Clover.  Samantha’s main costume is her green spy outfit which consists of heeled boots, gloves, and a bodysuit.  She also has long copper red hair that she wears pushed back off her forehead.  To recreate her suit, don’t be afraid to get creative by adding some foam details to emulate the more high-tech aspects.  If the self-adhesive velcro doesn’t work for you, simply reach for your preferred fabric-safe glue to achieve the same effect!
