In
Netflix's adaptation of
Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, Neil Patrick Harris plays the devious and greedy
'Count Olaf', a master of disguise out to steal the inheritance of the three orphaned young
'Baudelaire' children,
'Violet', 'Klaus' and
'Sunny'. In the second season the characters venture to the
Caligari Carnival, a creepy circus filled with freaks, fortune tellers and performers, from the ninth book in the series of thirteen,
'The Carnivorous Carnival'. The
Count disguises himself as a ringmaster, whilst
Violet (Malina Weismann) and
Klaus (Louis Hynes) pretend to be the conjoined
'Beverly' and
'Elliot' to blend in.
Original TV costumes from A Series of Unfortunate Events season 2
Cynthia Summers was nominated for an
Emmy for
Outstanding Fantasy/Sci-Fi Costume Design for for her work on the second season of the show with the help of
Assistant Costume Designers Phoebe Parsons and
Kelsey Chobotar, plus
Costume Supervisors Lorelei Burk and
Courtney McKenzie.
These fantastical
Carnivorous Carnival costumes were photographed on display at
Downtown LA.'s FIDM Museum on August 21, 2018.
Ringleader costumes traditionally come in reds and golds, not primarily white which makes
Count Olaf's fabulous outfit stand out even more, but for a more classic look be sure to check out
Hugh Jackman's P. T. Barnum costume from The Greatest Showman as a comparison.
I really love these circus costumes and think they make for great
Halloween inspiration if you were looking for something a bit creepy this year.
