Carbon Costume

Augie Steenbeck (played by Jason Schwartzman) is a widower and father of four in the Wes Anderson film Asteroid City.  When he and his children are stranded near the titular desert town, Augie calls his father-in-law to pick them up.  During their stay in Asteroid City, Augie meets Midge Campbell.  Augie’s costume includes a belted safari jacket and khaki pants, which he pairs with brown boots.  More important than the outfit itself might be Augie’s accessories, which include a pipe and a vintage camera.  If you don’t have a camera that looks the part, a smartphone case designed to look like one can do the trick instead.

Midge Campbell (played by Scarlett Johansson) is a Hollywood star stranded in the titular Asteroid City in Wes Anderson’s film about a 1955 convention interrupted by out-of-this-world visitors.  The actress meets Augie Steenbeck and his family during her stay.  Midge has short dark hair and favors a pair of oval sunglasses.  Since the movie takes place in the ’50s, she dons plenty of vintage-inspired costumes including a sleeveless floral dress with a set of pearls.  Pair your chosen outfit with red nails and lips for the perfect mid-century look.
