Alfredo Linguini Costume
Bring Pixar's favorite clumsy chef to life with a Remy-approved look.
Alfredo Linguini is the well-meaning, clumsy garbage boy turned chef from Disney & Pixar's beloved film Ratatouille. Fans love dressing up as Linguini because of his charmingly awkward personality and the fun opportunity to feature Remy the rat in their outfit. The look consists of a classic white chef's uniform, bright red sneakers, and a chef's hat hiding a rat silhouette.

How to put it together
- 1
Put on the black-and-white checkered chef pants and the bright red canvas sneakers.
- 2
Slip on the white chef jacket, buttoning it fully, and tie the white apron around your waist.
- 3
Put on the messy, curly orange-red wig, letting some curls spill out naturally.
- 4
Attach a black paper cutout of Remy's silhouette to the inside front of the chef's hat, then place a small light or glow stick behind it so the shadow shows through the fabric.
- 5
Place the tall chef hat securely on your head, positioning it slightly forward so the silhouette is visible when backlit.
- 6
Hold the wooden spoon in one hand, ready to strike a clumsy, surprised kitchen pose.
Makeup & hair
Keep makeup minimal and natural. Style the messy, curly ginger wig so that wild strands of hair peek out from underneath the front and sides of the chef's hat.
