Carbon Costume

Tim Burton’s 2005 Willy Wonka film, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory features Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka. This film follows the classic story by Roald Dahl about Charlie Bucket and his Grandpa Joe as they join a group of contest winners in which they get the opportunity to tour Wonka’s factory.

Willy Wonka’s costume has some similarities to the original we know with Gene Wilder, but has its own take on the chocolatier. This costume has more of a red and black color scheme, consisting of a red velvet coat, black pants, a black vest, a black hat, pattered collared shirt underneath the vest, gloves, chain accessories, and a cane/ walking stick.

The Oompa Loompa is a character in the new movie-musical Wonka, and is played by Hugh Grant. The original story is from the 1964 novel Charlie and The Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl. This new story follows a younger Wonka before he becomes who we know today from the two film adaptations where he is played by Gene Wilder and then Johnny Depp. In this new whimsical film we follow his journey into becoming a chocolatier.

The Oompa Loompa in this film is based on the ones we know from other films. In this version we see him with his classic green hair and orange skin. He wears a purple suit and white shirt with gold buttons along with curved elf shoes with a purple pom pom on top of each.

Quiet up and listen down! There’s a new Willy Wonka in town, played by Timothee Chalamet in the new movie-musical Wonka. The original story is from the 1964 novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl. This new story follows a younger Wonka before he becomes who we know today from the two film adaptations where he is played by Gene Wilder and then Johnny Depp. In this new whimsical film we follow his journey into becoming a chocolatier.

Wonka’ s costume has elements that are reminiscent of both Roald Dahl’s original art and previous films. He still wears iconic pieces like the purple velvet coat, brown top hat, and walking stick. In this new costume we also see the designer playing with layering and unique patterns like the brown vest layered on top of a white pinstriped shirt, over that another blue and yellow vest, and then the coat. He also wears high waisted trousers and a patterned scarf tucked into the vest.

Charlie Bucket is the protagonist of the children’s book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory written by Roald Dahl. Peter Ostrum played Charlie in the 1971 movie adaptation, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Although he comes from poor family, young Charlie is thoughtful and polite. He cares deeply about his relatives, especially his eldest grandfather, Grandpa Joe. His biggest wish is for a Golden Ticket to the factory, which he ends up getting! As a reward for his good behavior, Charlie wins the factory. Included in this costume guide are two alternate outfits, which include his plain blue sweater and red sweater. Wrap the Wonka wrapper around a giant Hershey bar and slip the golden ticket inside for the perfect prop.
