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: 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!
