Carbon Costume turning red
Ming Lee from Turning Red
Ming Lee (voiced by Sandra Oh) is the overbearing mother of Mei Lee in the Disney Pixar feature Turning Red. Ming runs the family temple along with her husband and daughter, and tends to have very rigid ideas of who her daughter is and what will make her happy, which is challenged when Mei undergoes her red panda transformation. Unless you’re crafty enough to sew your own, you’re unlikely to find an exact match for Ming’s traditional dress, so opt for ones in shades of green or blue instead. She also wears a green blazer and flats, green earrings, and a jade wedding band. Her panda spirit is locked away in a red gemstone necklace at the beginning of the film, which is replaced with her daughter’s pink Tamagotchi by the end of the movie, so choose whichever you prefer to complete the look.
Tyler Nguyen-Baker from Turning Red
Tyler Nguyen-Baker (voiced by Tristan Allerick Chen) is a supporting character in the animated Disney film Turning Red. Tyler begins as a bit of a bully to Mei, Miriam, Abby, and Priya, but as a fellow fan of 4*Town, he eventually becomes a member of their friend group. Tyler’s costume is very basketball-inspired, including a jersey layered over a white t-shirt, sweatband, and high-top sneakers. His clothes revolve around a purple, pink, and grey color scheme, but finding clothing in all these colors at once may not be possible, so don’t be afraid to focus on one or two and build a look that is close in appearance, even if it’s not a perfect recreation.
