Carbon Costume pop star
Sabrina Carpenter from Taste
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 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.

Attach various sizes of AB rhinestones or gemstones along the top and over the shoulder. Over this create the white sash by taking a blank white sash and attaching silver rhinestoned letters across it. You can also add rhinestones all over this. Wear your hair up with a small silver tiara. She also wears white gloves with rhinestones covering them. For makeup, use a white powder or foundation with pink blush, and a hint of yellow above that and purple eyeshadow.

Rebecca Black (Friday 2021 Remix)
Remember that song “Friday?” Its catchy yet obnoxious chorus about “looking forward to the weekend” was stuck in everyone’s head. From parodies to voice dubs, it became one of the most viral memes in existence. Ten years later, Rebecca Black returns with an fast paced, electro-pop remix featuring Dorian Electra, Big Freedia, and 30H!3. Its music video borrows elements from the original, but a grown up, glam-punk Rebecca is street racing as oppose to going to school. It surpassed 2 million views on Youtube and 650,000 streams on Spotify.
