Carbon Costume

Rose DeWitt Bukater (played by Kate Winslet) is the aristocratic woman who falls in love with Jack Dawson and eventually takes his name in James Cameron’s film Titanic.  Rose comes from a wealthy family who falls on hard times after her father’s death, and is pressured to marry a wealthy man by her mother so they can maintain their lavish lifestyle.  Rose wears many incredible costumes throughout the film.  When she first boards the ill-fated titular ship, she dons a stylish pinstriped outfit with rich purple accents.  A replica dress is your best way to pull off this signature look.  You can add your own details to the base to achieve the full ensemble.  This includes a dark purple hat with a striped taffeta ribbon, which you can replicate yourself by adding a bow to a wool hat.  You’ll also need a white collared shirt, dark necktie, and gold pin.  Rose’s accessories include white leather gloves, purple drop earrings, and a purple parasol she uses as a cane.  A golf umbrella can do the trick for the latter, or you can forgo the accessory entirely.

Rita Malone (voiced by Kate Winslet) is an adventurous rat in the Dreamworks film Flushed Away.  The polar opposite of Roddy St. James, Rita is adventurous and brave, not afraid to take risks or speak her mind.  Rita has long red hair and wears a green sweater paired with pants printed with the UK flag.  To recreate the appearance of a rat, you may have to mix and match pieces from different accessory sets.  The most realistic way to get the look is to use a prosthetic nose with a little spirit gum to hold it in place.
