Carbon Costume

In The Witch (The VVitch), Thomasin and Caleb are in the forest when a hare frightens their horse and their dog Fowler runs off. Young Caleb eventually finds Fowler’s dead body. Nearby in a thicket emerges a beautiful young woman dressed in a bright red cloak… but barefoot with disheveled clothes underneath. She seduces Caleb and gives him a kiss, then pulls him into her, with a haggard arm that reveals her true nature as an old witch.

In The Witch (or The VVitch), Thomasin (Anya Taylor-Joy) is eldest daughter of a family that is banished from a New England Puritan settlement. The family must set up a homestead in the isolated wilderness, but a malevolent spirit in the woods around them, which they suspect is a witch, begins to curse them. Blaming Thomasin, her parents make plans to send her away to serve another family.

Daniela Wytte, more often called Dani, is the female protagonist of the webtoon Hooky.  She studies magic alongside her twin brother Dorian.  Dani has black hair and often dresses in black and white, which matches her brother’s attire.  To recreate her look, you can wear a black t-shirt style dress with pinstriped leggings, and combat boots.  Accessorize with a white fake collar, black tie, and an oversized white hair bow.  You could also opt for black tights, black ankle boots, and a black long-sleeved dress with a white collar.  Either way, choose a black wig with bangs and trim to your desired length.

Elaine is a character from the film The Love Witch, and is played by Samantha Robinson. The Love Witch follows Elaine, a witch who is trying to find a man to love her but makes her spells too strong and ends up killing them.

Elaine’s costume go perfectly with the campy 60s look of the film with lots of red and white lace pieces. She often wears simple red dresses, but when she goes to tea with her new friend, she wears a bright pink sun hat with faux pink flowers. She pairs this with a white dress that can be recreated with a white lace blouse and white flowy skirt with a gold necklace and her signature blue 60s eyeshadow.

Regina Mills (played by Lana Parilla) is the Mayor of Storybrooke in the TV series Once Upon a Time.  Regina, who is later revealed to be the Evil Queen, has trapped fairy tale characters in this real-life town with no memory of who they truly are.  She is also the adoptive mother of Emma Swan‘s son Henry, and the half-sister of Zelena.  As Mayor, Regina dresses in professional-looking dresses and suits, often layered under smart-looking coats, likely due to the fact that Storybrooke is located in Maine.  To recreate Regina’s look, focus on flattering silhouettes and well-coifed hair, and don’t be afraid to pair it with a dark lip color.

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.

Ranni, also known as the Snow Witch (voiced by Aimee-Ffion Edwards) is a character in the Elden Ring video game.  Ranni provides the Tarnished with the Spirit Calling Bell after receiving the Torrent from Melina. Ranni’s costume includes an oversized hat that can be difficult to pin down unless you purchase a pre-made cosplay set.  If you’re looking to build your own costume, you may need to scale down the hat size or scour handmade shops on Etsy.  Either way, adorning the brim with an adjustable silver headpiece can help it look more like Ranni’s from the game.  Whether you decide to make your own costume with different pieces such as a medieval-inspired dress and faux-fur trimmed cloak or purchase a full set pre-made, you can always take your outfit to the next level by adding pale blue body paint and a matching wig.  Likewise, if you’d like to create extra arms–Ranni has four–you can follow a tutorial like this one if you’re feeling a bit crafty.

Lilith Clawthorne (voiced by Cissy Jones) is an antagonist in season one and a supporting character in season two of The Owl House.  She and her sister Eda are both witches.  Lilith cursed her younger sister in order to become part of the Emperor’s Coven.  Lilith has worn several different outfits during the show.  She has long, dark blue hair and pale skin.  In the first season, she wears a dark grey and black ensemble, but by the end of season two, she is wearing a green top with a burgundy skirt and brown vest.
