Cosplay Feature: Gray Oranges' Rikku!

Photo by David Ngo I won't ever shy away from writing about cosplays of Rikku's look from Final Fantasy X-2 and Gray Orange did a fantastic job portraying her in both the overall cosplay look PLUS the pose work. Of course I'll get to all that in due time but let's start at the top! It's certainly a cosplay worn for several events and I want to say I first saw this in the overall collection of MAGFest photos back in January of this year. I really love how the multiple braid strands are integrated into the blonde wig for starters. I can't tell if they're either part of the wig itself or the blue headband that's wrapped around. In any case, following this is a red scarf wrapped around Irini's neck before you then get to the yellow bikini top. Here, you can also see orange trim lines as part of the piece. Oh, I forgot to mention that the red scarf actually travels all the way down to her legs. These end points then transition to a yellow/orange gradient!

Cosplay Feature: Riki LeCotey's Nami from One Piece!


It's the middle of summer so I thought why not spice things up with well...a summer cosplay! Today I've got the lovely Riki LeCotey (known online as Riddle's Messy Wardrobe) and her Nami cosplay from the hit anime One Piece! This version is unlike the standard low cut top/sometimes bikini and shorts that the character wears in the show. Instead it actually looks a lot more like the main character Monkey D. Luffy. Based from the MUGIWARA figure of Nami, Riki looks to be incredibly comfortable in this cosplay. Jean booty shorts, a small red vest and an orange wig. To top everything off, Riki has the infamous pirate hat that Luffy wears while out to sea.

Despite the outfit being simple, it's the photos and how Riki looks that make me love this cosplay. All the pictures were taken at what looks like to be near a pool. She's also casually laying either across a lounge chair, or giving a playful smile either up close like on the left, or while enjoying a drink as you'll see below. The colors really mesh well together and it definitely gives off that summer vibe. Nami's signature tattoo on her upper arm is also seen in this cosplay.

Riki absolutely nailed this cosplay and the look suits her well. These pictures would make absolutely beautiful prints just saying :D. I hope you guys enjoy the other picture I've got to share! Apologies if this seemed like a short feature today, I just had to talk about this when I saw the photos!
