Carbon Costume

In 1993, Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke put on a legendary performance Live at the MTV Beach House. The alternative band played their mega-hit single Creep, but the concert has since become better known for their other track, Anyone Can Play Guitar. During this song, Thom goes bananas, screaming “fat, ugly, dead” before jumping into the swimming pool. Although the spring-breakers watching the spectacle at the beach house weren’t aware, it turned out that in this act, Thom nearly killed himself, simultaneously through electrocution and drowning. The bleached blonde hair, done up in a ponytail, as well as the striped black shirt, are a not-so-subtle nod to grunge rockstar Kurt Cobain, whose band Nirvana ruled the airwaves at the time.

Die With A Smile is a brand new song featuring both Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars. The music video released along with it, which has bright fashions that are 70s inspired, and remind us of artists like Porter Wagoner and Dolly Parton. This would make a great duo costume with the matching look Lady Gaga wore in the video.

To dress like Bruno Mars in the video, wear a turquoise blue suit over a partly unbuttoned red button down shirt. For the suit jacket, cut off of the bottom hem to square it off and fold under to make a clean hem (sewing and ironing flat if possible). You can also remove the buttons for a more cohesive look. Pair this with an off-white cowboy hat, a gold cross necklace, and any dress shoes.

To dress like Gaga in the video, wear a turquoise blue longsleeve dress over a red pussybow blouse. Pair this with red tights and red heels. For makeup, she goes for more of a modern look to contrast the rest. To create this, wear a nude lip and black eyeliner to make the graphic eye look. She also wears a Dolly Parton-style 70s wig that is very tall, nearing the drag side. Do this by wearing a 70s wig or if more experienced, layer another curly one on top and sew it together. Finally, wear matching blue nail polish and carry a prop cigarette.

Sabrina Carpenter continues to impress and surprise fans online with her music videos. The most recent is for her song Taste, and stars herself alongside Jenna Ortega. They both humorously target each other in bloody fashion throughout the video. This would be a perfect duo costume for two friends with a few different looks to choose from.

Starting with her funeral look, wear a long sleeve black dress, a black fascinator hat in your hair, and black heels. For the look with the chainsaw, start with a black sleeveless dress and black heels. Wear a white tank top with a sweetheart neckline under the dress, with the top peeking over the neckline. Carry a costume prop chainsaw which can be painted by first using any white paint as a base on the part you hold. Then dry brush or completely paint over it with a cool pink paint. On the saw portion, paint with red. For her nurse look, wear a short, off-the-shoulder white dress, a white nurse hat, and a white eye patch. Add the Red Cross with paint or a marker, or red felt and glue. Wear this with a matching red lipstick.

Starting with her funeral look, wear an off-the-shoulder black gown with black heels. For the blue gingham look, wear a blue gingham top and matching blue denim pants with white heels and a silver heart necklace. To create the bloodied spot on the top, slowly layer red paint and as you get towards the center, mix in more black. Water down the paint to eliminate brush strokes or dab on with paper towels. Finally, for the fence-post costume, you could either go with a bloody spot or two like the previous look, or actually attach posts to your front. Start with a blue pin-up style blouse, black cropped pants, a black wide waist belt, and black heels. To wear this without making the posts, simply follow the same steps to paint two spots like the previous costume. To make the posts, cut out two of the same shape out of white foam. These will be attached at the bottom of them to a nylon adjustable belt that you will wear backwards, putting the buckle at the center of your back. Wear a black camisole under this because you will cut a hole in the blue shirt. Cut the hole to the size of the posts on your stomach, which you’ll paint with red acrylic paint, going darker as you get closer to the stomach. Paint around the hole you cut in the shirt, also getting close to black at the center. Layer the blue shirt over the camisole and belt/ posts.

Her vintage-inspired beach looks in the video can be easily recreated for your summer vacations and poolside outfits. Starting with her visor, take an orange retro style visor. You can create the graphic on it by using white acrylic paint on the top that reads ‘Espresso’. With this she wears her hair in 2 low pigtails, gold starfish earrings, and a blue gingham bikini with a bow on the top. Other looks in the video feature other accessories like pastel pink and yellow scarves, the yellow folded and tied as a wide headband and the pink covering her hair.
