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: Mina Starks' Princess Peach!


I truly love when popular cosplayers with a sizable following shoutout other cosplayers for their incredible work. It always leads me down a rabbit hole in finding talented individuals to share with you guys! Mina Starks is one such girl and I was immediately hit in the face with this gorgeous Princess Peach you see up above. Debuted at MegaCon earlier this year, this version of Peach is much more so on the cute and frilly side. Literally her arms consists of nothing but those giant circular frills (which are actually done by individual flowers, like over 700 of them :O). I believe this was also designed by Mina so it's definitely a testament to her costuming skills! Along with the flowers, you have a dress which starts off with straps connected to a neck piece. The neck piece features a blue brooch which is seen in the Princess' original design. Towards the center of the dress top is a sleek little design that's more regal in a sense.

As you travel down the dress, that's when it branches into several sections down below. Mainly with the center being done in white and having a brown tree added in. At the tips of the branches can little flowers be seen which look to be done similarly to Mina's arm frills. On either side of the center is full on pink with a gold pattern sewed on. This looks to have been done in the same material like the centerpiece up at the top of the dress. Quickly going back up to the top, her earrings are the same blue shade as her brooch.

Mina's facial expressions are just the cutest and her wig and crown are ON POINT <3. Plus there's an added pink flower on the blonde wig. Stated on her page, Mina has a huge love for the ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom so wearing this gave her so much joy. All the photos are gorgeous and she ROCKS this cosplay for sure :D. None of the shots I have give off a good look to her leg area so apologies about that. Hopefully you all enjoy this the other pictures!
