Magenta, Columbia, Riff-Raff and that Sweet T known as Frank-N-Furtuer. What do all these names have in common? Of course, they’re all character in the Rocky Horror Picture Show. There are plenty of other characters but these would be the most popular ones that are always referenced. Because of this they all have ready made Rocky Horror Picture Show costumes for fans. Every year I attend a Rocky showing at a local theater on or around Halloween. Here are my thoughts on the Magenta and Columbia costumes.
A very colorful and very strange character indeed. I suppose Columbia is really no more or less bizarre than the other main and supporting character in the show. For me the tap dancer outfit just sticks out. Make this a morbid couples costume by having your boyfriend dress up as the Eddie character. May seem a bit strange but we care talking about Rocky Horror Picture Show Costumes here.
When my friends and I attended a Rocky showing one year I noticed someone who took the outfit that was for sale in stores and added a real top hat that she colored gold. It worked very well and complimented that costume very nicely.
Magenta is a somewhat standard costume that is very, very easy to pull off. It can also be very bland and boring because it is so standard in design. Taking a different scene from the film or musical and manipulating it to fit that particular scene is what I would recommend. You really should do something to stand out. Otherwise you’re stuck with a boring costume.
To pull off the Magenta costume, my friend took the standard costume that was in the stores, picked a scene from the film and modified it to fit that scene. I must say it turned out very nice. I’ll bet if you follow the same example you can pull it off nicely as well.
