Carbon Costume wicked
Wicked Witch of the West from The Wizard of Oz
The Wicked Witch of the West is one of the most iconic characters in film, and is the protagonist in the classic film, The Wizard of Oz. She was played by Margaret Hamilton. It truly defined how we picture witches when we think of them today.
To re-create this iconic costume, start with using a green face and body paint on your hands and face. Use other makeup like browns and grays to define the brows, eyes, and cheekbones. Wear your hair up and back, such as a low bun. Wear a high-neck black blouse, a maxi black skirt, and a black corset at the waist. Attach a small black pouch to the corset and pair with black heeled boots to cover the ankles and legs not painted. Black socks would also work if you need more length. Finally, wear a simple witch hat and carry a broomstick.
Glinda from Wicked (2024)
Musical and Broadway fans are reeling after the release of the new trailer for the film Wicked. The film is a screen adaptation of the broadway musical Wicked, which tells the story of the witches of Oz. This film will be in two parts and release separately, at different dates. As we await the first release, we get to analyze and enjoy the trailer and all of it’s impressive actors and of course, the costumes.
In this I’ll be covering how you can dress like or recreate the different looks of Glinda that we get glimpses of throughout the wicked trailers out now. For the look pictured, wear a delicate pink sheer blouse that is sleeveless and ruffled along with a pink midi skirt, vintage-style pink heels, and a pink crossbody purse. Another look is one that resembles a ballet outfit where she seems to be practicing some kind of jousting or fighting in a class with Elphaba. To dress like that wear a pink ballet leotard, a pink wrap ballet skirt, and tie your hair up with two pink bows. Another thing to add could be a pink coat dress over top. Lastly, we get to see bits and pieces of what seems to be her iconic ‘Popular’ number where she gives us kicks and dance, even hanging from a chandelier in a sheer tulle pink robe that is all the drama, just like herself.

One look the internet is loving because of the glasses in particular, is this one that Elphaba wears as she seems to first arrive at Shiz University and meets Glinda. To dress like Elphaba here, wear these circle asymmetrical round glasses, black coat dress, black heeled boots, a micro twist wig if needed, and of course green face paint.
Glinda from Wicked
Glinda (formerly Galinda) is one of the main characters in the musical Wicked, which tells the backstory of Elphaba, better known as the Wicked Witch of the West in The Wizard of Oz. Glinda begins her journey at Shiz University, where she is accidentally assigned as Elphaba’s roommate. Despite the rocky start to their relationship, the two eventually become friends, though not every fairy tale in this case gets a happy ending. While there are certainly more well-known costumes for Glinda in other media, the costume she wears when she arrives at Shiz is a classic white outfit with nods to vintage styles including oxford pumps and a white beret.
Maleficent
Maleficent (Angelina Jolie) is the self-proclaimed mistress of all evil. After being snubbed from the royal christening of Princess Aurora, she curses her to prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel and fall into a deep sleep. Talk about an overreaction. To replicate the makeup, check out this Maleficent makeup video tutorial.
Elphaba from Wicked
Wicked gives the backstory of Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West in The Wizard of Oz. Born with green skin, she’s is neglected in favor of her beautiful sister Nessarose. When Elphaba starts college, she’s ignored in favor of her popular roommate Galinda. When they’re ready to fly, Galinda gets a bubble while Elphaba gets a dirty broomstick. How’s that fair?
