Carbon Costume

Voiced by Estelle, Garnet has been a Steven Universe staple from the show’s beginning. Now that Steven is grown in the Steven Universe series, she is still an important part of his life and the series at large.

It makes sense that cosplaying such a key character would take a little more DIY than most. In this case, getting Garnet’s specific look requires some fabric paint, a white blouse, and acrylic paint to add details to the shoes. The top requires a light pink, a bubblegum pink, a hot pink, and a bright purple for the upper portion and the sleeves. Dark blue and a darker purple are needed for the bottom of the shirt.

Dark blue pants and shoes knock out most of the rest of her outfit while dark pink acrylic paint adds the detail to the toe of the shoes. After that all you need is a black wig and a pair of Garnet glasses.

Pink Diamond (voiced by Susan Egan) is a character from the Cartoon Network series Steven Universe.  She was a member of the Great Diamond Authority and a Homeworld Gem.  Eventually, she takes the form of Rose Quartz.  Pink Diamond has bumblegum pink skin, and bright pink clothing and accessories.  A big, poofy light pink wig can top off your look.

Lion is a recurring character in the Cartoon Network show, Steven Universe, whom once belonged to Rose Quartz. When Lion died, Rose was able to resurrect him through her healing powers, resulting in his pink fur and magical abilities. Such magical abilities include a pocket dimension, portal creation, and a loud, powerful roar. Eventually Steven finds Lion and befriends him too, making him an ally of the Crystal Gems. Use the pale pink face paint all over your face, and then burgundy face paint to draw the heart shaped nose. While we couldn’t find a pink lion’s mane, it only requires a bit of DIY. For the mane, get some hot glue and adhere the craft fur around the circumference of the cat ear headband. Attach a tuft of that fur to the end of the cat tail and you’re all set!

Lars Barriga is a minor character in the Cartoon Network show, Steven Universe. He formerly resided in Beach City as an employee at the Big Donut. He was in a relationship with his co-worker, Sadie. Prior to his abduction to the Gem Homeworld, he was a normal human. When found dead, Steven resurrected him with his healing powers. As a result, similar to Lion, he turned pink and obtained magical abilities. Following his resurrection, Lars traveled the galaxy as a captain with the Off Colors, a group of misfit Gem fusions. He has the same goal as the Crystal Gems: to rebel against the Diamonds and protect Earth. In Steven Universe: Future, he returns to Beach City to visit Steven, and is at peace with his break-up with Sadie. A popular and widely accepted fan theory is that Lars is transgender. As you can see, Lars has many outfits to choose from, each representing a different point in his life. Featured are his human look, his space captain look, and post-series look.

Bismuth is a character in Steven Universe. She is a former and current member of the Crystal Gems. During the Rebellion, she worked as a blacksmith, but then she got into a conflict of interest with Rose Quartz. Bismuth got bubbled and remained in the Pink Dimension until being freed by Steven. She proposed the same idea that she had to Rose: the Breaking Point, a weapon that could shatter any gems, even Diamonds. Like his mother, Steven rejected this idea and after an intense battle, he bubbled Bismuth again. He brings her back in the final fight against Homeworld, where she rejoins the Crystal Gems. Uzo Aduba, who you might recognize from Orange is the New Black, voices Bismuth. This costume requires some sewing. Sew the pink star onto the apron and the black star onto the right arm of the bodysuit.

Amethyst is a main character in Steven Universe: Future voiced by Michaela Dietz. The series takes place after the events of the movie. Before, Amethyst was underestimated because she was half the size of a Quartz soldier. This judgement used to negatively affect her self esteem. But now she’s found her confidence and purpose. Fun, playful, and always with an appetite, Amethyst helps Steven run the new school for gems. Cut a hole in the tank top for the gem, and iron one star on each leg of the shorts.

Aquamarine is an antagonist in the Cartoon Network show, Steven Universe. We first see her trick Connie and easily defeat Steven using her hair bow, which doubles as a wand. She was sent to Earth by the diamonds to collect more humans for their zoos. Like Lapis Lazuli, she has wings and harnesses the power of flight. Her petite and innocent appearance allows her to deceive humans, asking “are you my dad?” She then calls upon a Topaz fusion to absorb them and take them away. Use Spirit Gum to apply the gemstone onto your face. You can also draw it on with more face paint, mixing the aqua and white to get the right color.

Steven Universe is the main protagonist of the cartoon series of the same name, as well as the television movie. In the movie, Steven is now sixteen years old. After making peace on Home World with the diamonds, he thinks it’s happily ever after. That all changes when Spinel comes to Earth for revenge, and once again Steven must fight to save his friends and protect the universe.
