Cosplay Feature: Lisa Mancini's Magik!

The Marvel Rivals cosplays keep on coming with various iterations of Magik done by cosplayer Lisa Mancini. Specifically, I have three versions that she's done over the last year or two since the cosplay was made & debuted. I myself am not too well-versed to the character so I'm mostly gonna be focusing on the outfit structure and how it's formed around Lisa. For starters, Magik's base costume starts off with a long platinum blonde wig with some wings added on top. Most likely this is done via a headband piece added in. Her main chest piece looks to be a tank top base in black with an armor chest piece layered on top. It does go all the way up to Lisa's neck so I have to wonder if she had any trouble moving her head around while wearing this. Magik has a mixture of long and short sleeved coverings for her arms. There's also different pauldrons on the shoulders. One of which is smoothed out with what I believe is the X-Men symbol on one and the other is covere...

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 :)
