When I’m not writing tutorials for Carbon Costume, I’m freelancing as a graphic designer. One of my favorite types of […]
Sister Night from HBO’s Watchmen
In HBO’s Watchmen, Detective Angela Abar (played by Regina King) dons a mask to become Sister Night in order to help maintain law and order in the City of Tulsa. Having vowed revenge against the Seventh Kavalry for the death of her partner and his wife, Angela is a skilled martial artist and exceptional detective. Sister Night’s costume keeps Angela’s identity hidden and her family safe from criminals. A long overcoat, rosary beads, and face mask help transform Angela into her vengeful alter ego.

Beelzebub from Good Omens
Beelzebub (Anna Maxwell Martin) is a supporting character in “Good Omens,” the show based on Neil Gaiman’s novel of the same name. Beelzebub is a demon who parallels Gabriel as the representative of hell. Like Gabriel, they get upset when Adam won’t start the war to end the world. They’re always seen frowning with flies buzzing around them (hence the nickname “Lord of the Flies”). While the character is played by a woman, and this costume guide is designed for women, Beelzebub does not use pronouns in the series.
Wanda Maximoff from the WandaVision First Look
Wanda Maximoff (played by Elizabeth Olsen) is one of the longest-standing women in the MCU. And after suffering the loss of both Tony and Natasha in Endgame as well as her brother Pietro and her lover Vision in earlier movies, fans weren’t certain how Wanda would handle her grief. The answers, it seems, will come in the Disney+ show WandaVision. And while details are sparse, a Super Bowl ad gave fans a few teasers. Wanda and Vision appear to be reunited and living in domestic bliss that spans several decades. Wanda’s costumes change to fit the times but the two that stand out to most viewers are her ’80s “new mom” outfit and what appears to be a Halloween costume based of Scarlet Witch’s comic canon outfit, as seen above.

Panda from Watchmen
In Watchmen, Panda (Jacob Ming-Trent) is a detective of the Tulsa Police Department in charge of permitting police officers to unlock their service weapons. He is a pencil pusher who is very by-the-books, which draws the ire of the other officers. To complete the look, add plenty of dirt and grime to the panda mask, and fill the binder with mind-numbing paperwork.
Chidi Anagonye from The Good Place
Chidi Anagonye (William Jackson Harper) is another protagonist of The Good Place. While alive, he studied and taught philosophy at universities. In spite of his academic pursuits, he struggled with making decisions, which led to his untimely death. In the Good Place, he gets paired with Eleanor as his “soulmate.” When she tells the truth about how she doesn’t belong there, he decides to teach her ethics. Be sure to carry a book by Aristotle or Kant under your arm, but don’t get too into character, or else you might get a stomach ache.
Cake The Cat from Adventure Time
Cake the Cat is a character in a fanfiction series within the world of Adventure Time written by The Ice King. Cake is voiced by Roz Ryan and is more or less the femme version of Jake The Dog. This cake costume is pretty simple, but to make it a little bit closer to the actual patterning on her fur I suggest getting fabric paint and painting the large front pocket on the overall skirt yellow with one of the larger flat nylon brushed in the set. If you are worried about making a mess I suggest outlining the pocket with tape first. I also Included face paint. I suggest doing a circle around one eye and then use black for the nose and any other detailing. Don’t forget setting powder!
Hooded Justice from Watchmen
In Watchmen, Hooded Justice, real identity Will Reeves, is the first ever masked vigilante, a charter member of the Minutemen, and the inspiration for many of the earliest superheroes. He wears a black hood and noose around his neck, evocative of both a medieval executioner and the Ku Klux Klan members he fights against. He deals his own brand of justice with great brutality.
Ruby Gloom
Ruby Gloom is a young girl who, despite her dark goth style and gloomy last name, can find happiness anywhere. Her personal mantra is “Look on the bright side”, especially when her friends are losing focus. Ruby is accompanied by her pet cat Doom Kitty, who as free run of the mansion and knows everything that goes on there.
