[Vivian Cosplay] Zenless Zone Zero Swimsuit Fitting, Going to the Seaside with Lord Phaethon

After trying on this Vivian swimsuit outfit, I decided to immediately organize the mirror selfies and post them. During the actual process of shooting and adjusting, I could truly feel the dedication put into the details of this costume. Although the skin exposure is indeed on the higher side as I expected, the overall presented effect is very cute.

Let's talk about the design of the costume itself first. The entire swimsuit is dominated by a black-and-white color scheme, with a white ruffled hem at the bottom paired with a black lace-up design, and very bold cutout tailoring on the chest and waist, which beautifully outlines curves. There is also a small heart-shaped decoration right in the center, adding a touch of playfulness to the slightly cool black-and-white color scheme. The black leg ring on the left leg carries a small pink heart-shaped pendant; this detail is truly a finishing touch—it doesn't feel tight when tied on the leg, yet visually stretches the leg lines. On my feet, I paired a pair of black glossy Mary Jane high heels, with a thin purple ribbon tied in a knot at the ankle, perfectly forming a color echo with the purple gradient at the tail end of the wig.

This time, to restore the character's temperament, the wig selected is a gradient long wavy hair from light purple to pale pink, and the large dark bowknot hair accessory on top of the head makes the entire look more recognizable. Because it was shot in front of a full-length mirror at home, the makeup part tried to get as close as possible to the character's style, working with the cartoon pattern on the phone case for blockage, which counts as a very classic coser mirror selfie perspective.

Regarding props, I originally wanted to use the newly arrived new umbrella to match this swimsuit, so the entire frame would fit the summer seaside theme better. However, the delivery was a bit later than expected, and the new umbrella has not been received yet, so when shooting this time, I still took that original black-purple umbrella as a prop. Although what I am holding is still the original skin one, once I lean it against the ground, that vacation vibe instantly comes out. For Figure 2, I changed to an orange-black color scheme small plush toy; this tiny accessory replacement makes the overall frame more lively and vivid, and the poses struck appear even more agile and cute. Finding angles in front of a full-length mirror is actually quite a test for people; from light and shadow to pose control, to shoot the legs long and display the cutout tailoring of the clothes just right, I repeatedly tried many times before picking out these two compositions that I am relatively satisfied with.

The shooting background was selected in the living room at home. Although the white home appliances, wooden table, radiator, and stickers on the refrigerator behind me are all elements highly filled with daily life breath, through the reflection of the mirror, it instead adds a hint of casual and authentic home vibe to this set of photos. This pair of black glossy high heels is quite comfortable to wear, and when paired with the leg ring, makes the leg lines look very slender. While shooting, I was thinking that if I could truly wear this outfit to the beach, facing the salty sea breeze and brilliant sunshine, the overall photoset effect would definitely be even more amazing. Although this cosplay fitting was limited by indoor lighting and the home environment, preventing it from achieving the perfect effect of a professional studio shoot, it at least beautifully conveyed the costume's inherent beauty and the character's playful nature.

Overall, although this fitting outfit is relatively lightweight, various small accessories from hair ornaments and shoelaces to leg rings are fully complete. This is also a relatively complete form that can be presented at the current stage. I hope next time I can bring the new umbrella, find an outdoor location with blue skies and white clouds, and truly restore the atmosphere of going to the beach with Lord Phaethon.
