Cosplay Feature: Renee4Atlanta's Ironheart!

Happy Halloween to you all! To end this month of features, I wanted to share this INCREDIBLE work by Renee4Atlanta that she helped create and wore at this past Dragon*Con not too long ago. Coming off of Ironheart's debut series, Renee took on the task to recreate the updated look and man is it intense! When you look at the photos, you can first find that of course Renee has a more comfy layer of clothing which the armor pieces are layered on top. From the top, Renee has the iconic Iron Man helmet which is colored red for the outer shell and the mask being a shiny silver shade. From the photos I did find, I don't know if the mask can actually come down or if Renee made this to showcase an open look. Getting down to the rest, you can see how some of the armor is segmented off/layered. Red looks to make up a good chunk of the outer layer whereas the inner portions are silver.

Cosplay Feature: Destiny Nickelsen's Belle (Moulin Rouge Style)!


If there's one thing Destiny Nickelsen does with her cosplays, it's put an incredible amount of detail for each and every outfit she makes. Some of which look crazy beautiful. This outfit here is no exception of showing Destiny's talent! The outfit here was done for Dragon*Con last year based off a design found on deviantArt which depicted the Disney Princesses in a Moulin Rouge style look. The princess in question here is Belle from Beauty and the Beast. The cosplay is frilly and extravagant with the flower up at the top of the corset like top and the skirt going just about as much as it needs to with the rest definitely showing off her legs (which look awesome).

The dress extends down along the back and the stockings for her leg are an interesting mix of white going down to a light/pastel yellow by her feet. The skirt down at the bottom is the perfect shade of brown referencing I'm guessing Belle's brown hair? Speaking of hair, Destiny's wig is incredible here, with a rose pinned to it since you know...roses are important in the movie itself. The fron of the dress is outlined with buttons, lines and all the things that make the dress fit the style derived here. Alongside Destiny's Belle, lots of other cosplayers caught the Moulin Rouge bug for Dragon*Con with cosplayers doing Ariel, Snow White, Aurora and others part of the design. I've got some pictures showing off how incredible the outfit is so I hope you guys enjoy them :)

She's so pretty :)
