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: Kayla Erin's Emma Frost

Emma Frost's reveal & subsequent addition to Marvel Rivals a few weeks ago made me realize something. Hot women character designs will make me try roles that I never thought I would in gaming. Case in point, the thicc thighs Vanguard type is here and cosplayers like clockwork have been going nuts with creating her already iconic (and somehow funny with the blue/white & blonde hair combo) look. Kayla Erin is one such individual and man this just looks SO DANG CLEAN! For starters, the wig is a very bright almost platinum blonde shade with parts going down each side. The outfit set up here looks to be in two parts. You have a body undersuit-piece with the main coat being placed over it. I love how the various diamonds look here, both throughout the top portion of the coat & her shoulders.
Blue and grey trims can be seen on the outlines/edges of each piece. Part of the coat seems to be segmented off with the blue lines and a different type of fabric looks to be placed here. Kayla has long white sleeves with holes added in near her hands for easy maneuverability. You also get a look at gauntlets made which rest just underneath her hand and on the arms. These have various line designs added in both blue and grey. The up-close shot you see on the left also gives a great look at the blue lipstick she used plus a small white choker with blue outlines.

The jacket extends down pretty long almost giving off a trench-coat vibe to it. Then as you travel down to the footwear, giant X's start it off with their edges being covered in small stones. These look to be attached to long white boots. Then as an added bonus, Kayla created a cute bunny version for Easter when this whole shoot was shared. Here, Kayla is rocking a simple white corset with a gemstone lodged in the chest. A different wig was also used here alongside bunny ears. The ears themselves kept the Emma vibes going with their white and blue color makeup. Small diamond like plating can be seen placed over each of the ears' blue inserts.

Not to mention also the posing for both the full outfit & bunny version are on point for Emma's character. I was fangirling so hard when these shots were first making the rounds. Be sure to check out the rest of the photos down below!
