Carbon Costume

Adriano Zumbo found his passion early and has been chasing it ever since. His show is a unique gem in Netflix’s cooking show lineup, Zumbo’s Just Desserts for a man who has dedicated his life to his craft. And when you consider that the man has Willy Wonka tattooed on his arm, it’s easy to see where he got his inspiration from!

Zumbo’s usual look is easy to pull off. Kitchen shoes, black slacks, a white t-shirt, a chef’s jacket, a black middle finger ring, and a wrist cuff. It’s a very straight-forward look. Zumbo sets them apart with his signature bald look and his Willy Wonka tattoo which you can copy using the printable temporary tattoo paper listed above. If you’re feeling like an accessory, add a box of macarons. He is knows as the Macaron King after all!

Pete (played by Dougie Baldwin – and no, he isn’t one of the Baldwins) is the in-house grower at Ruth’s Alternative Caring, the dispensary at the heart of the show Disjointed. He’s a a kind-hearted and unassuming guy but that doesn’t mean he stays out of trouble. Between fathering his talking plants, dating the personification of marijuana, and trying to keep an AI from taking over the world he has a lot more on his plate than the pH balance of his soil!

Pete is down to earth in more than just his personality. He likes wearing neutral and earth tones. This means a tan shirt and a knit pullover with a pair of jeans suited for gardening in. A shaggy wig and a pair of sandals rounds out his look.

Dr. Atsuko Chiba (voiced by Megumi Hayashibara) is the main protagonist of the anime film Paprika, named for the doctor’s cheerful and carefree alter ego.  Atsuko is a psychotherapist and co-worker of Kosaku Tokita.  Atsuko’s serious personality matches her clothing choices well, as she typically opts for beige and black work clothes and black heels.  Paprika, on the other hand, sports short auburn hair, a bright red t-shirt, and matching sneakers.

Donna Meagle is a character in the NBC sitcom, Parks and Recreation. She is the office manager of the Pawnee Parks and Recreation Department. Out of everyone in the show, Donna has the most active dating life with a variety of suitors. She is sociable yet strong-willed, with a taste for luxury and culture. Played by stand-up comedian and actress Retta, the character became a regular in the third season. This costume guide includes a standard outfit from the earlier seasons, as well as the outfit from the iconic “Treat Yo Self” segment.

Alison Pill plays Agnes Jurati, a human cyberneticist on the television sci-fi drama Star Trek: Picard.  She is the leading expert on Earth when it comes to the science of synthetic life forms, which makes her a useful addition to Picard’s crew.  Agne’s outfit changes throughout the show’s episodes, but she can often be found wearing a cozy-looking sweater under a white lab coat.

Vivian Banks is a main character in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. As Will‘s maternal aunt, she is no-nonsense and nurturing, yet she is also vivacious and valiant. She is extremely career-driven, having earned her PhD at UCLA, where she met her future husband, Phillip Banks. Together they had four children: Nicky, Ashley, Carlton, and Hillary. In the beginning of the series, Janet Hubert played Vivian, yet Daphne Reid took over in the latter half of the third season. This came with changes to the character as well, moving from an astute aunt to one with a less fiery demeanor. Nonetheless there have been several jokes in the show that poke fun at the recast.

On The Big Bang Theory, Barry Kripke (played by John Ross Bowie) is a co-worker of Sheldon and Leonard.  A former plasma physicist, he eventually changes focus to explore string theory and works with Sheldon at one point.  Kripke, as he is usually called by his colleagues, has rhotacism and is quite sarcastic.  Kripke often wears colorful flannels and button downs layered over a white t-shirt.  His red jacket makes a few appearances, though his outfits change often throughout the series.

Kaede Kayano (voiced by Aya Suzaki and Monica Rial) is a student in class 3-E at Kunugigaoka High School in the manga and anime series Assassination Classroom.  Formerly known as Akari Yukimura, Kaede has dyed green hair and is close friends with Nagisa Shiota, for whom she has romantic feelings.  Kaede wears a grey sailor uniform and knee high socks with black shoes.
