Willy Wonka from Charlie and The Chocolate Factory
Tim Burton’s 2005 Willy Wonka film, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory features Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka. This film follows the classic story by Roald Dahl about Charlie Bucket and his Grandpa Joe as they join a group of contest winners in which they get the opportunity to tour Wonka’s factory.
Willy Wonka’s costume has some similarities to the original we know with Gene Wilder, but has its own take on the chocolatier. This costume has more of a red and black color scheme, consisting of a red velvet coat, black pants, a black vest, a black hat, pattered collared shirt underneath the vest, gloves, chain accessories, and a cane/ walking stick.
Glen Lantz from Nightmare on Elm Street
Glen Lantz (played by an early-career Johnny Depp) is one of the protagonists of the classic 80s slasher fic Nightmare on Elm Street. He is the boyfriend of Nancy, the films main hero and the one who ultimately finds out how to defeat Freddy Kreuger. Although Glen supports his girlfriend and believes her when nobody else does, he ends up falling prey to Kreuger in one of the film’s most spectacular deaths.
Glen has several looks throughout the movie but the most iconic is the outfit he’s wearing right before he falls into Freddy’s clutches for the last time. A feathered brunette wig (or your own hair and some pomade) will give you his hairstyle. His top is a jersey-style sweatshirt that has been cut to bare his midriff, which you can easily recreate with a white pullover, blue fabric paint, and blue iron on numbers. All you have to do is paint stripes around the shoulders, iron on the number 10 and cut the sweater into a crop top.
Grey sweats, Nike socks, and white 80s-style trainers finish off the look. You can accessorize with a pair of large silver headphones. And, if you want to go for a post-Freddy Glen, you can add in some fake blood as well.
Benjamin Barker/Sweeney Todd
Benjamin Barker/Sweeney Todd is the main character of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. He first appeared in a Victorian penny dreadful serial, but his fame comes from the Stephen Sondheim musical, which was then adapted into a movie by Tim Burton. Throughout each iteration, his role remains the same: a psychopathic barber who murders his customers. Subsequently, Mrs. Lovett bakes the bodies of his victims into meat pies for her shop. He takes on the alias of Sweeney Todd to abandon the identity of Benjamin Barker, who had been falsely convicted and banished, to now take revenge on those who wronged him. He especially wants vengeance against Judge Turpin for kidnapping his daughter. This costume takes inspiration from the Tim Burton movie, where Johnny Depp stars as the title role.
Gellert Grindelwald
In Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, Gellert Grindelwald (Johnny Depp) is a powerful and infamous dark wizard who causes mass chaos and terror around the world, seeking a new Wizarding World Order based on his belief in wizarding superiority. After Grindelwald escapes a prison transfer, Newt Scamander and Tina Goldstein join forces with Albus Dumbledore to bring him in.
Victor Van Dort
Victor van Dort is the main character in the 2005 Tim Burton stop-motion animated film Corpse Bride where he is voiced by Johnny Depp. He is a man who finds himself accidentally wed to a zombie named Emily while practicing his wedding vows in a cemetery.
Ratchett
In the 2017 adaptation of Murder on the Orient Express, Ratchett (Johnny Depp) is a wealthy American criminal who fears for his life upon boarding the train. Because he deals in art forgeries, the costume designer chose clothing that would be elegant and upscale, but mismatched and out of place in Europe at the time.
