Carbon Costume 
Tommy Pickles from Rugrats
Tommy Pickles (voiced by Elizabeth Daily) was a staple in the childhood of many Millennials. He led the group of friends known as the Rugrats, usually getting them into trouble (even if some of it was just make believe). His leadership and adventurous nature drove the whole show, so it’s no wonder people might want to cosplay as Tommy!
There are two ways to go about a cosplay like this. One is to get as close as possible to the original character and the other is to put a slight spin on. To get really close to the character, go for a blue t-shirt, a costume diaper, a prop bottle, a Reptar toy, and invisible shoes like those in this YouTube tutorial. If you don’t want to go the diaper route, you can swap that piece for a pair of white pants and a pair of shoes that match your skin tone. In either case remember to use yellow fabric paint to recreate the iconic yellow tabs on Tommy’s diaper. And while you might want to ditch the bottle if you go with the jeans, keep Reptar nearby. Tommy would!
Charlotte Pickles from Rugrats
Charlotte Pickles (voiced by Tress MacNeille) is the stereotype of a ’90s career mom. She barks orders, demands progress, and knows exactly how she wants everything to go. Angelica had to get it from somewhere, after all.
Charlotte’s style is exactly what you’d expect for a career woman fresh from the ’80s. She wears her blonde hair in a high ponytail held in place by a blue scrunchy. Her red lips match both her stud earrings and her tie. Her white button down always pairs perfectly with either a blue or grey shoes and heels that match. And of course she never goes anywhere without her briefcase and her phone. Unfortunately her phone model is now a classic and very expensive (unless you want an inflatable novelty version) but a phone case can get you a look that is pretty close!
Kimi Watanabe-Finster from Rugrats
Kimi Watanabe-Finster (voiced by Dionne Quan) is the step-sister of Chuckie Finster from the Nickelodeon show Rugrats.  Originally introduced in the movie Rugrats in Paris, Kimi quickly becomes a member of the crew and joins in on their adventures. Kimi is very brave, often encouraging her step-brother to take bigger risks and step out of his comfort zone. Kimi wears a pink shirt, purple cowboy boots, and a yellow bib dress with a purple cat on it. If you want to add a cat to your own dress, you can use a purple sticker or decal, or if you want to get really crafty, you could always paint one on by hand.
Angelica Pickles from Rugrats
Angelica Pickles (voiced by Cheryl Chase) is the bossy older cousin of Tommy and Dil Pickles on the Nickelodeon show Rugrats.  Angelica is a spoiled child who rarely doesn’t get what she wants, which leads to her butting heads with her cousins and their friends often. Even Susie Carmichael, who is normally an ally of Angelica, sometimes has to point out when she takes it too far. Angelica has blonde hair she styles in pigtails and she wears a purple dress layered over an orange shirt and blue tights.
Phil and Lil DeVille from Rugrats
Phil and Lil DeVille (both voiced bath Kath Soucie) are the troublemaking twins of Betty and Howard DeVille on the Nickelodeon show Rugrats. Phil and Lil are alike in almost every way, including how they dress. Their pink shirts and rubber-duck adorned shirts make for a fun and colorful costume for a couple or a pair of friends.
Betty DeVille from Rugrats
Betty DeVille (voiced by Kath Soucie) is the vocally feminist mother of Phil and Lil on Nickelodeon’s classic cartoon Rugrats. Betty is a bit of a tomboy, typically seen wearing comfortable sneakers, sweatpants, and her signature purple sweater with the “female symbol” on it. To recreate her iconic look, you can use a light purple sweater and a little orange fabric paint, as finding an exact replica can be fairly tricky.
Chuckie Finster
Chuckie Finster is a character in Nickelodeon’s 90s cartoon, Rugrats. Charles or “Chas” Finster is his father. In the group of babies, Chuckie is known as the scaredy cat. Whenever they decide to do something that Chuckie thinks isn’t a good idea, he speaks up, but he goes through with it anyway. Despite this, he is still a loyal and selfless friend, namely to his best friend, Tommy Pickles.
Susie Carmichael from Rugrats
Susie Carmichael (voiced by Cree Summer) is a recurring character from the Nickelodeon shows Rugrats and All Grown Up! Susie possesses a strong sense of self and what is right, which often puts her at odds with Angelica Pickles, though the two girls are usually friends. To recreate Susie’s original outfit, painting the abstract flowers using purple fabric paint onto a yellow dress is the best way to achieve the iconic look, though you can also use a yellow dress with any floral pattern. Susie wears a number of different outfits in the All Grown Up! series, but she often sports cropped shirts and wide leg jeans.
Stu Pickles
Stu Pickles is the wacky toy inventor father of “Rugrats” main protagonist Tommy Pickles. He is a loving and kind father, but like most of the parents in the Rugrats cast, including his wife Didi, he is oblivious and often outsmarted by the babies in the show.
Didi Pickles
In Rugrats, Didila “Didi” Kropotkin-Pickles is the loving mother of Tommy and Dil. She is a teacher of home economics and a practitioner of child psychologist Dr. Lipschitz’s advice. Behind her large round glasses hide beady black eyes.
