Carbon Costume

Sailor Saturn [Hotaru] (voiced in Japanese by Yūko Minaguchi and in English by Jen Gould and Christine Marie Cabanos) is one of the main characters in the anime/manga, Sailor Moon.

She is part of the Outer Sailor Scouts, along with Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. She has a complicated past that leads to her becoming Saturn, with a lot of personal suffering, but through it all, she has her best friend, Chibiusa.

Hotaru has short blackish purple hair, worn just below her chin, and purple eyes. Her sailor outfit consists of the usual white base piece, with dark red and light purple accents, with the accent on her bow being a crystal. She has the same tiara type headband as the others, white elbow length gloves with purple cuffs, white drop earrings with small saturns (couldn’t find the exact), a purple choker with a star on it, and knee high lace up purple boots in the same color as her skirt.

Sailor Venus [Minako] (voiced in Japanese by Rika Fukami and in English by Stephanie Morgenstern, Emilie Barlow, and Cherami Leigh) is one of the main characters in the anime/manga, Sailor Moon.

She originally started off as Sailor V, before joining the Sailor Scouts and becoming Sailor Venus. One of her primary fighting styles is to use a golden chain of heart shaped links, which she wears around her waist for easy access to it in the manga.

Minako has long blonde hair that she wears with a high red bow on the back of her head, and has bright blue eyes. She wears the traditional Sailor Scout uniform, with hers in a color scheme of white, orange, dark blue, and yellow. She finishes this with stud earrings, an orange choker, white elbow length gloves with orange cuffs, and orange heels with ankle straps.

Sailor Mars [Rei] (voiced in Japanese by Michie Tomizawa and in English by Katie Griffin, Emilie Barlow, and Cristina Vee) is one of the main characters in the anime/manga, Sailor Moon.

She is the Sailor Scout that uses fire powers in addition to a bow and arrow, the latter of which she gained as a skill from being a shrine priestess.

Rei has very long straight black hair with a purple tinge to it, and deep purple eyes. When transformed, she wears the traditional sailor scout uniform in white, red, and purple. It’s finished off with golden star earrings (I couldn’t find similar ones, unfortunately), a red choker, white elbow length gloves with red cuffs, and red pumps.

Milky Way and the Galaxy Girls is a cartoon concept that was pitched to Hasbro by Lauren Faust. Although Hasbro passed on it, it eventually morphed into the highly successful My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. MWGG is inspired by the 90’s Strawberry Shortcake series, with a dash of the anime Sailor Moon, with the girls as the personification of different planets. Mercury’s winged sneaker-skates propel her through the cosmos in a shimmery silver flash at the speed of light.

Makoto Kino (voiced by Emi Shinohara and Amanda Céline Miller) is a Sailor Guardian in the anime and manga series Sailor Moon.  Known as Sailor Jupiter when in her Sailor form, Makoto is an orphan, having lost her parents in a plane crash.  She is tomboyish and loves cooking.  Makoto has long brown hair that she wears in a ponytail.  Her school uniform consists of a khaki skirt and matching blouse.  Finding an exact match can be tough, but you can recreate the look with a similarly colored sailor sweatshirt (though you may want to pin the rabbit ears on the hood out of sight).  When fighting evil by moonlight with Sailor Moon and the rest of the Guardians, Sailor Jupiter’s costume is dark green with matching boots.  In both her civilian and Sailor forms, she wears pink rosebud earrings and a green hair tie in her hair.

Calaveras is a frightening foe. She is the Black Moon Clan’s answer to Sailor Venus with the strength and drive to prove it  Her fearsome whip is no easy weapon to face down and if she were to ever cooperate with her sisters, it would be a dark day for the Sailor Scouts.

The first step to developing a Calaveras cosplay is to get a long brunette wig and style the hair into a bun, then attach a large gold bow on top. You’ll then want black crystal earrings and face paint markers for the black crescent moon. Gold cuffs, a gold bustier, gold boots, and a red pleated skirt round out her look. And of course you’ll want your trusty whip. Just be sure and check convention regulations before taking it inside an event.

Tuxedo Mask (voiced by Tohru Furuya and Robbie Daymond) is a main character in the anime series Sailor Moon.  Real name Mamoru Chiba, Tuxedo Mask is the reincarnation of Prince Endymion and the love interest of Sailor Moon.  Tuxedo Mask’s costume is all in the name.  Mamoru dons a tuxedo, complete with top hat and cape, as well as glasses that obscure his identity.  Top off your look with a single red rose for the lucky Sailor Moon in your life.

Rei Hino also known as Sailor Mars is voiced most frequently in the original Japanese anime by Michie Tomizawa, and in the English dub by Cristina Valenzuela. Rei is constantly having petty fights with Usagi. She is hot-headed but thoughtful in her choices. Not to mention she has great fashion taste! For make up I suggest doing a very basic winged liner. rub a bit of highlighter jelly together on your fingers and dab it across your cheekbones for a sparkly blush look.
