This blue-and-white bunny ears outfit is truly packed with details. Just the pom-poms on the jacket and the little bunny charm on the chest make you want to squeeze them. The inner dark blue patent leather bodysuit has a vibrant glossy texture, reflecting remarkably under the anime convention hall's overhead lights. Wearing this material really tests your body shape, as it needs to fit just right to hold the curves. Paired with white stockings and black high heels, it brings a touch of elegance to the playful overall look.
This shoot took place at an anime convention. The floor was extremely smooth, producing an unexpectedly great reflection, and the photographer captured this moment of me standing on one leg. Holding this posture was actually quite tiring; to keep my center of gravity from shifting, my core had to stay tight while keeping my expression relaxed and effortless. The small blue bag in my hand and the bunny ears on my hat were all manually adjusted, with the pom-pom position re-fixed several times to look natural.
Regarding my makeup this time, I deliberately toned down the eyeshadow colors and emphasized the eyeliner and eyelashes. Since the character setting leans fresh and lively, overly heavy eye makeup would clash with the overall style. I chose a matte mauve lip color paired with a fair base makeup to make facial contours softer. Hair layering was also crucial; the wig needed repeated combing to avoid looking stiff.
Lights in the convention hall were quite harsh, and top lighting tends to cast shadows, so I tilted my head slightly during the shoot to let the light better illuminate my face and necklines. The highlight of this outfit actually lies in the transition between white shorts and white stockings. To make my legs look longer, I intentionally raised the waistline, and wearing the jacket off-the-shoulder increased skin exposure around the neck and shoulders, making it visually lighter.
Many people asked if I felt cold wearing this to an anime convention. Indoor temperatures were actually fine, but patent leather isn't breathable, so walking around made me sweat a bit, requiring quick makeup touch-ups and adjustments during shooting breaks. The support structure for the bunny ears used steel wire, which pinched my scalp after wearing it for long, but to show the perkiest state of bunny ears, these details were worth enduring.
When striking this salute pose, I deliberately touched my forehead with my fingertips, keeping my arm lines extended. The other hand rested naturally or on the bag, with overall weight placed on the supporting leg to elongate body proportions. The photographer said this angle captured the skirt layers and bow on the shoe perfectly, while the white reflection on the floor added depth to the picture.
Every time I wear this set, many fellow fans come over for photos. People most often ask if the little bunny doll on the chest is detachable. It's actually fixed, but the plush texture is indeed very endearing. The back design is also very thoughtful, though only the front is visible in this photo. If given the chance next time, I can shoot a turned-around view to showcase back details.
We didn't prepare too many complex props for this shoot, bringing only a small bag and the bunny ears on my head, aiming to focus on the character's posture and gaze itself. I believe 2D cosplay doesn't necessarily require piling up complex props; a clean styling combined with a confident state can equally convey the character's true spirit.
