The core styling concept for this shoot centered on Alice's Bunny girl look from miHoYo's Zenless Zone Zero. The overarching vibe strikes a neat balance between sharp efficiency and adorable sweetness. First, regarding the wig: blonde hair requires immense volume and lustrous sheen. To craft the two French braids across the crown and the twin tails trailing behind for this Twin tails cosplay, I relied heavily on hair wax, spray, and duckbill clips. To prevent the wig from clinging flat to the scalp, I subtly padded the crown. The bangs were trimmed right along the browline, slightly curved inward with a flat iron to hug facial contours naturally. Flanking both sides of the wig are white spherical hair ornaments bearing mirrored letters, while the ends of the tails are accented with red cylindrical props to enrich overall visual depth. Putting on and adjusting the wig heavily tested my patience, requiring continuous repositioning of the braids and bangs to ensure a plump, three-dimensional silhouette from every angle on camera in this Alice Cosplay.
For makeup, to mirror the aesthetic of 2D anime figures, I chose a high-coverage, velvety matte fair base. The eye makeup was the focal point: I wore red contact lenses that cast a distinct crimson gleam under studio lights. The eyeshadow blended soft pink with warm earthy tones, deepening the outer eye contours, complemented by dense, flared false eyelashes and a wash of reddish tint diffused across the lower eyelids. Blush was swept generously beneath the eyes and across the mid-face, which, paired with contouring on the tip of the nose, sculpted an exquisite doll-like look. For the lips, a lustrous red lip glaze was chosen, making the overall makeup look spirited and radiant.
Wardrobe-wise, the ensemble is grounded in a classic white long-sleeved button-up shirt paired with black tactical harness straps. The oversized black-and-red corded bow tie at the collar serves as a primary visual anchor, crowned at the center by a substantial silver star medallion that radiates great tactile texture. Both sleeves bear brown shield-crest armbands, and to pack in extra detailing, I added simple silver metallic buckle embellishments across the chest. The shoot leaned into warm interior lighting and selective fill lights, using an origami-style desk lamp as a backdrop ambient light source. I posed with clenched fists held cute in front of my chest, flashed a peace-sign wink, and lightly tapped my chin with a finger—actions that elegantly exhibited costume craftsmanship and expressive facial nuances, all while keeping my posture centered to achieve a clean, balanced composition. This photoshoot truly brought out the energetic spirit of the character!
