The best Super Mario Bros. Movie red carpet looks were cosplay

The Super Mario Bros. Movie is right around the corner, and some of the voice actors celebrated the Los Angeles movie premiere by injecting their red carpet looks with a dose of delightful cosplay.

Anya Taylor-Joy, who voices Peach, rocked a pink leather jumpsuit — including moto-inspired gloves, and hot pink boots with Peach’s star insignia emblazoned on the shins — that read like a take on Princess Peach’s Mario Kart outfit.

Jack Black also stole the show in a suit designed to look like Bowser’s shell, complete with back spikes, and flame detailing on the jacket and pant cuffs. Look closely at the shirt, and you’ll see that it’s holographic, and looks like lizard scales. (A commenter on Jack Black’s Instagram post described the look as “something Guy Fieri would wear to his child’s baptism” and I can only interpret this as a compliment.)

Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto also seemed to be a fan of Black’s spikes. For Miyamoto’s part, he wore a colorful, fun Super Mario Bros. Movie T-shirt.

Even Chris Pratt and Charlie Day had a bit of fun, with complementary red and green-hued suits — honestly, they were more burgundy and emerald, but I’ll take it. If you’ve got to wear a suit to the The Super Mario Bros. Movie red carpet, at least have a little cosplaying fun with it. Other members of the cast were outshone, in their comparatively normie red carpet outfits.

These cosplay homages added a dose of campy fun to events that are otherwise more buttoned up. Sure, there are some celebrities known for their playful or themed approaches to red carpet style. Zendaya famously wore a gown with a spider web-like design, and a superhero mask, to the premiere of Spider-Man: No Way Home. Jenna Ortega has stayed pretty closely
