Carbon Costume

Pearl is the main character from the A24 film by Ti West, and is played by Mia Goth. Pearl is the origin story of the previous film in West’s series, X.

Pearl is a character that is stuck living and working on her family’s farm in rural Texas. She longs for a glamorous life on the screen, like she sees in the movies and goes killer lengths to attempt to achieve this. Pearl’s usual attire consists of blue overalls, a blue shirt, and lace bows or a blue bandana. When she goes to audition for a film, she wears an all-red dress with puffy sleeves and a large blue denim bow.

Wayne (played by Martin Henderson) is the producer behind The Farmer’s Daughters, the porn flick at the heart of Ti West’s Texas-based horror movie X.  Wayne is a standard southern cowboy, with long curly hair, a twang, and a white cowboy hat.  He is the older boyfriend of Maxine, who he left his previous wife for.  Wayne wears a pretty generic outfit with dark jeans and a white hat, but his costume also includes a gold watch, which speaks to his larger aspirations.  During the film, he also shows that he wears a pair of extremely revealing skivvies under his jeans, so if you’re going for authenticity, you may want to invest in a set of men’s white bikini underwear.

Maxine (played by Mia Goth) is an up-and-coming adult film star in Ti West’s X.  Maxine is a small-town girl with big dreams who follows her boyfriend to a secluded farm in Texas to shoot a porn movie with co-stars Bobby-Lynne and Jackson that is supposed to be her big break.  Things don’t go quite to plan, however, and Maxine and the others find themselves fighting for their lives instead of hitting it big.  Maxine has a very appropriately-70s look about her.  She begins the film wearing a striped tube top and shorts, while later changing into denim shortalls and boots, both of which are part of her film costume.  She also wears stark blue eye shadow and has freckles around her right eye and cheek, which you can mimic with a brown makeup pencil.

Jackson (played by Kid Cudi) is the male lead in The Farmer’s Daughters, the porn movie at the heart of Ti West’s horror film X.  Jackson is a Vietnam War veteran who heads to a secluded Texas farm to make an adult film along with fellow actors Bobby-Lynne and Maxine.  Jackson served as a Marine and still wears his dog tags.  When trying to recreate his look from the film, there are a few ways you can choose to go about it.  By focusing more on the colors used (a pale yellow shirt and light blue suit), you may have more options available to you.  You could also go for a men’s disco costume in a similar color.  And if you’re really committed to portraying Jackson perfectly, and are willing to shell out to do so, you might even find a vintage leisure suit in a matching color.

Bobby-Lynne (played by Brittany Snow) is the confident blonde co-star of Maxine and Jackson in the horror film X.  She is a confident, sexually liberated woman who heads to a secluded Texas farm to make an adult film called The Farmer’s Daughters.  Bobby-Lynne proves she’s fashionable with her bleach-blonde hair and yellow eye shadow.  Before she changes into her farmer’s daughter costume, she wears a bright-colored romper and platform sandals.  Finding an exact match for the costume can be tough, so don’t be afraid to be interpretive.  You can use any orange romper paired with the right accessories. Or, if you’re a fan of the draping of Bobby-Lynne’s, a halter tank layered over a pair of shorts in a matching shade can also do the trick.
