Carbon Costume spy
Sylvia Sherwood from Spy x Family
Sylvia Sherwod (voiced by Yuko Kaida and Stephanie Young), also known as the Handler, is a character in the manga and anime series Spy x Family. She is a top tier WISE agent and the head of Operation Strix. She is Loid Forger‘s handler and a mentor to him. Sylvia is a striking women with long auburn hair and round framed glasses. She wears a wide brimmed hat, a black dress, white blouse, black tie, fishnet stockings, and black heels. Finding an exact match for her dress is difficult, so you may need to get a little creative to recreate her look. You can simply layer a black long sleeved dress over a white blouse, but if you want to get closer to her appearance from the show, use a pair of sharp scissors to cut the front of a long dress to make it shorter in front and seal the raw edges with fabric glue to keep them from fraying. Add a plum colored ribbon to your black hat to add a splash of color and prove your attention to detail.
Alexandra from Totally Spies!
Alexandra (voiced by Katie Griffin in English and Céline Mauge in French) is a member of WOOHP in the animated French series Totally Spies! Alongside fellow spies Samantha and Clover, Alexandra works under Jerry Lewis taking dangerous missions. Alexandra’s spy costume is yellow, consisting of a catsuit, gloves, and boots. She wears her hair in a chic black bob. To recreate her spy suit, you can add details to the yellow bodysuit with some foam padding to emulate the high-tech look of the original costume without having to call in a favor to your local spy agency.
Agent 355 from Y: The Last Man
In the FX on Hulu show Y: The Last Man, based on the comics of the same name, Agent 355 (played by Ashley Romans) is a mysterious agent of the Culper Ring tasked with protecting Yorick Brown, the only known human survivor of a global event that wiped out every biologically male being on the planet. We first meet Agent 355 as she foils a plot by extremists in the Midwest of the Untied States. Shortly thereafter, she is reassigned to pose as a Secret Service Agent, only for the world to turn upside down her first day on the job. Agent 355 wears different types of clothing depending on her needs, though her outfits are always practical and easy to move in and often include gloves so she doesn’t leave any incriminating fingerprints behind.
Yelena Belova from Black Widow
Florence Pugh is new to the MCU but she hit with a bang as Yelena Belova. Equal parts sassy spy and the younger sister left adrift after her family dissolved, Yelena is another heartbreaking reminder of the effects the Red Room can have.
She wears several looks throughout “Black Widow” but the most iconic – and meaningful – is the white suit and green vest she wears during the film’s climax. Black fingerless gloves, black boots, and a costume pistol round out the look while a blonde wig can be styled into her rounded braid using YouTube tutorials. Of all the pieces to this costume, however, the vest is the most meaningful. It appears again later in the MCU, as a final link to the sister she lost.
Natasha Romanov from Black Widow
Natasha Romanov (Scarlett Johansson) has been the heart of the Avengers for more than ten years. She did her best to bring the team together and make the choices that would do the least damage, even in impossible situations. And in “Black Widow” we see that those traits have been part of her personality. Even as a child she tried to protect Yelena, her only real family.
Natasha has several looks throughout the movie. But her most iconic is the white suit. With her hair in braids, white gloves, and black boots, she is ready to take down the Red Room. A rifle and a pistol don’t hurt either. Neither does the arrow necklace reminding her of Clint.
Austin Powers
“Oh behave!” Austin Powers (Mike Myers) is the main hero in his self-titled spy parody movies. He is a 60s era British spy who enjoys cracking jokes and flirting with the ladies. After his arch nemesis, Dr. Evil (Mike Myers) freezes him in a cryonics experiment, he must adjust to life in the 90s. The movies follow his attempt to blend in while also trying to stop Dr. Evil’s malevolent plans. This groovy costume will have everyone saying “yeah baby!”
Lorraine Broughton
Lorraine Broughton is the protagonist of the graphic novel The Coldest City and its 2017 film adaptation Atomic Blonde portrayed by Charlize Theron. She is a secret agent who becomes involved in a global Cold War conspiracy where she gets involved with the CIA, MI6, and KGB all at once. She wears many stylistic outfits over the course of the film, this guide focuses on the costume presented in most promotional material.
Susan Cooper
In Spy, Susan Cooper (Melissa McCarthy) is a CIA analyst who suddenly gets promoted from a desk agent to a field agent. Her job is to prevent the sale of a nuclear bomb – after all, who would suspect a frumpy cat lady of being a spy?
Harry Hart
Harry Hart (Colin Firth) aka Galahad serves as a Kingsman agent. He sees potential in Eggsy as a recruit for an open position within their group. He teaches Eggsy what it takes to be a Kingsman, and in the process his taste for double breasted suits rubs off on his trainee.
Gary “Eggsy” Unwin
In Kingsman: The Secret Service, we learn that “manners maketh man” but we see that clothing does as well. As secret agent trainee Gary “Eggsy” Unwin (Taron Egerton) learns what it takes to be a Kingsman, he also learns to transform his style from an urban street look to a more refined English gentleman look.
