Carbon Costume

This now viral picture shows an actress dressed as an Oompa Loompa from the disastrous “Willy’s Chocolate Experience” in Glasgow, Scotland. What was advertised as an immersive experience took place in a sad, sparsely decorated warehouse with original villains like The Unknown. It’s became a viral sensation, with pictures of the event circulating everywhere online. Fortunately, the woman pictured, Kirsty Paterson, sees the funny side of it – and is okay with people dressing up as her for Halloween. People are already planning their 2024 Halloween costumes around the fiasco, so this guide has you covered.

The Oompa Loompa is a character in the new movie-musical Wonka, and is played by Hugh Grant. The original story is from the 1964 novel Charlie and The Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl. This new story follows a younger Wonka before he becomes who we know today from the two film adaptations where he is played by Gene Wilder and then Johnny Depp. In this new whimsical film we follow his journey into becoming a chocolatier.

The Oompa Loompa in this film is based on the ones we know from other films. In this version we see him with his classic green hair and orange skin. He wears a purple suit and white shirt with gold buttons along with curved elf shoes with a purple pom pom on top of each.
