Carbon Costume

Rosie (voiced by Leslie Rodriguez Kritzer) is an elegant and friendly demon in the web series Hazbin Hotel.  She has a flair for vintage fashion and music, and is friends with Alastor.  Rosie has pale grey skin and white hair, black eyes and sharpened teeth.  She wears an oversized hat in shades of maroon and black.  Her attire is Victorian-inspired in the same colors.  To build your costume, start by choosing a vintage-styled skirt in burgundy or red and black.  You’ll also need a high-collar blouse in matching colors.  Add a bolero to emulate the style of her costuming from the series.  Finish your costume with a white wig and white gloves, as well as a fabulous derby hat.

Octavia (voiced by Barrett Wilbert Weed) is an avian demon in the web cartoon Hazbin Hotel.  Octavia is sarcastic with an interest in collecting taxidermy that suits her gothic appearance.  Octavia has messy hair and long grey tail feathers.  She wears a pink dress and black beanie.  To recreate her look, don’t be afraid to be a little interpretive.  White face paint with purple eyeshadow can evoke her unique appearance.  The wings pictured, though meant to be worn over the arms, can be detached into two halves and worn on the legs if you’re feeling particularly crafty.  (Safety pins can do a lot to help secure them in place by pinning them to other items of clothing.)  If you are just looking for a short-term costume, gold star stickers can be added to the dress for an evening.  Otherwise, you may want to get out the hot glue gun or splurge for iron-on patches in the same star shape.

Angel Dust (voiced by Michael Kovach) is a demon and resident of the Hazbin Hotel. With his white fur and pink markings he has a distinct look even among demons. Never mind the four (or six) arms or venomous bite!

He might be sarcastic and reckless but the heart on the back of his head isn’t there for nothing. Angel Dust knows who his people are and he’s there for them when they need him.

There’s really no way to mimic Angel’s retractable arms but you can get the rest of his look with a little DIY and body paint. A white wig and styling gel will give you his hair style while hair chalk lets you draw in the pink spots and the heart on the back of his head. There are pre-made wigs on Etsy though they do cost a pretty penny in exchange for the predone work.

The wig sets the tone for the rest of Angel Dust’s costume. White body paint mimics his demon-pale skin. A white suit jacket can be painted with pink fabric paint to mimic Angel Dust’s. Under that you’ll want a white button down shirt and add a black bow tie. White leggings, pink gloves, and black  boots copy the rest of his look. Finish it off with a set of sharp fake teeth and you’re a dead ringer for Hell’s favorite pretty boy. Make sure you pack plenty of sass and you’re ready to go! Just try and stay out of the kind of trouble that Angel Dust usually gets into.

Stolas (voiced by Brock Baker in the pilot on YouTube) is a demon prince of hell in the web series Hazbin Hotel. He dotes on those he loves and is, generally, less cruel than other demons. But he is still a demon. Just one whose interests lie in the sexual rather than the generally violent. At least with other demons. With humans, however, it’s quite a different story.

You can’t quite mimic Stolas’ bird-like appearance. But you can get close! Start with a top hat and add back feathers around the rim. Add a golden crown on the brim and your hat is all set. Gray face paint and an owl mask lend you Stolas’ facial appearance. And the rest of the costume is all down to his regal sense of style.

Stolas favors an ermine-trimmed cape with a tattered hem. The cape pictured above is close but you will have to tatter the edges yourself. Under that Stolas wears a red military-style coat, grey skintight pants that are best mimicked with gray leggings, and tall black boots. Next you’ll need long black gloves with white feathers added around the top. And finally you will need a long feathered owl tail. You can either make one or use the feathered boa pictured above to mimic Stolas’ tail.

Now you’re ready to strut your stuff as a prince of Hell!

Velvet is an energetic demon overlord in the web cartoon Hazbin Hotel.  Velvet is part of the Three V’s along with Vox and Valentino, and she is always up on the latest trends and technology.  Velvet’s look is very much in line with the gothic lolita aesthetic and could be a fun opportunity to recycle an old Queen of Hearts costume if you happen to have one from a previous outing, while putting a new spin on the look.

In the Hazbin Hotel spinoff series, Helluva Boss, Loona (voiced by Erica Lindbeck) is the receptionist for Immediate Murder Professionals (I.M.P.), an assassination startup. Loona’s attitude is caustic and apathetic.  When her nose is not buried in her phone, she can typically be found shooting acerbic glances at her co-workers.  Loona is a hellhound, and her appearance is mostly that of an anthropomorphic black and white wolf.  To recreate her costume, you’ll want to accessorize with plenty of wolf-like details including a tail and ears, and then layer her tight shorts and crop top over that.  You can always cut the shorts and top to match the slightly tattered look of Loona’s clothes, as well as to show as much or little skin as you are comfortable with.

In the YouTube series Hazbin Hotel, Husk (voiced by Mick Lauer) is a pansexual cat demon with a casino card theme.  Husk is perpetually grumpy, a bit of an alcoholic, as well as a proficient gambler.  Husk is friends with Charlie and Niffty, who he works with at the Happy Hotel.  To create a Husk costume, you’ll first want to find a cat costume that you like and then add details do it.  You can upgrade a simple cat onesie by tying or gluing red feathers to the end of the tail, as well as onto the eyebrows on the hood or on a separate mask if you’d prefer to cover your entire face.

In Hazbin Hotel, Niffty is a cleaner and cook at the hotel. She is easily excitable, with a spontaneous and hyper personality. Niffty likes to dress up in a 1950s style, with a pink poodle skirt and matching polka dot scarf.
