Carbon Costume

Longlegs is the villain in the new popular horror film, Longlegs, and is played by Nicolas Cage. Longlegs is a horror/ mystery following the story of Harker, an FBI agent who is assigned a case of a serial killer until she discovers a connection to him during her attempts to stop him.

To dress like Longlegs you could do two different costumes. One is a red-orange shirt worn over a longsleeve cream shirt. Over this layer a blue robe. For the other, and more recognizable look, start by wearing a white button down with white jeans. Over this layer a pale pink button down, which you can cut the sleeves of to make it a vest, leaving it partly unbuttoned to show the white shirt underneath. Over that, wear a light gray denim jacket and tie a black and white scarf around your neck, tucked in partly to the white shirt. For both of these looks, the makeup and hair is a prominent part to recreate. For makeup, use a pale foundation all over the face. Use a cool makeup palette or contour shades to add similar dimensions throughout the face. Wear a light pink or nude lip that is over lined and finally for the hair, wear a blonde wig which you can cut to thin if needed and style to look messy.

Gretchen is the main character in the new horror film, Cuckoo, and is played by Hunter Schafer. Gretchen is 17 years old and travels abroad to live with her father in the German Alps at a resort.

To dress like Gretchen, wear a white tank top and any pants. Wrap your arm in white gauze and wear an elbow brace over this. On your other arm and shoulder, wear a navy blue bomber jacket, letting the rest hang down your back. Pin with a safety pin to the back of your tank top if you’re worried about it sliding down. Use makeup or face paint to create the bruised look around her eyes. Finally, layer a few white headbands or gauze around your head.
