Carbon Costume

Rose Cinderella was just a normal girl until she fell through a portal into the world of fairy tales. There she learns that she is the granddaughter of Cinderella! Voiced by Rebecca Soler (billed as Jessica Paquet), Rose is a very outgoing but clumsy girl who loves to help other people. Whether she is working with her friends or her boyfriend Hawk SnowWhite – grandson of Snow White – she is always ready to help those in need and find a happy ending!

Rose’s clothes are very colorful. She wears a pink bow in her hair, a plum blazer, a pink plaid skirt, and pink slip-on shoes. Her white button up shirt matches her white leggings except for the plum colored bands around the bottom of the leggings. Finding her exact leggings is tough but you can replicate by gluing ribbon to the bottom of white leggings. After that all you need is a long blonde wig and a black tie with yellow stripes and you’re ready for your own fairy tale adventure!

Troy Bolton (Zac Efron) and Gabriella Montez (Vanessa Hudgens) are the two main characters in the Disney Channel original movie, High School Musical. Troy is the basketball prodigy at East High, whereas Gabriella is a remarkable science student. They sing a duet together for karaoke at a New Years Eve party. The pair reunites when Gabriella transfers to East High. After Gabriella gains the confidence to audition for the school musical, Troy volunteers to sing with her. When they make the callbacks, both Troy and Gabriella face a dilemma: to go forward with the musical, or stick with the status quo. This would make a great couples costume or just for pure nostalgia.

Erin Quinn (played by Saoirse-Monica Jackson) is the main protagonist of the Netflix show Derry Girls.  Erin lives in Derry with her rather large family during the 1990s.  She attends Our Lady Immaculate College with her friends Orla (who is also her cousin), James, Michelle, and Clare.  Erin’s most recognizable costume is her green school uniform, though she also dons plenty of fun 90s-inspired outfits throughout the series.

Amity Blight is a character in the Disney Channel animated series, The Owl House. She attends Hexside Academy of Magic and Demonics. Bright and competitive, Amity is a prodigious young witch. In the beginning, she exhibits hubris and looks down on others who don’t succeed like her. Although now Amity has shown a more sensitive side to her personality, such as when she bonds with her friend (and crush) Luz. You can dye the top of the wig with dark green Copic marker and the front with brown Copic marker. Then you can sew the gold button onto the cowl, and like magic, your costume is done!

In Euphoria, Lexi Howard played by Maude Apatow is a level headed student at East Highland. She and Rue have been best friends since childhood though they have drifted apart over the years. Lexi is smart and put together. She wants to support Rue but gets frustrated and often feels used. She usually dresses in colorful knit sweaters and patterned mini skirts.

Gabrielle (played by Renee O’Connor) is a main character in the TV show Xena: Warrior Princess.  She begins as a quiet Greek farm girl seeking protection and a new adventure, but she eventually becomes Xena‘s most trusted ally and soulmate.  While her initial weapon of choice is a staff, she learns to wield a set of sais to exceptional effect.  Gabrielle’s costume changes throughout the series, but she typically wears small crop tops throughout.

Kaeda is a “gal”, or gyaru, living a trendy life when she accidentally lets in a dinosaur to her home. The Dino gets in when Kaeda is drunk, and when she wakes up the next morning she is surprisingly calm. Kaeda decides to host the Dino as her roommate. Kaeda feeds the Dino human food, and tries to figure out how to take care of a dinosaur in Gal and Dino.

Molly Finister (played by Kerry Bishe) was a revivalist singer on the show Penny Dreadful: City of Angels. Although she ultimately chose death rather than continue the life her mother had trapped her in, Molly was best known for her stunning voice.

Singing like Molly isn’t easy, but her look is fairly straightforward. You’ll need a coiffed blonde wig in a ’30s style and a dress similar to those worn at that time. A handbag, nylons, and heels finish her look. Because of her religious studies, Molly carries heavy leatherbound books. And as a bonus, the book is an accessory you can use in many, many different costumes!
