[Cinderella cosplay] Goddess of Victory: NIKKE Swimsuit Photoshoot Sharing

This shoot features the swimsuit version of Cinderella from Goddess of Victory: NIKKE (Cinderella cosplay / Anime cosplay). In the preparation stage, the primary task was styling the long, light-purple twintails. Because the hair was extremely long, it had to be separated into two thick sections secured on either side of the head while maintaining volume at the crown to avoid looking flat. The white floral hairpiece on top served as the defining accent, firmly pinned to prevent it from falling off while moving around the poolside. Red contact lenses combined with soft blush accurately captured the character's facial features. The outfit choice was a pure white bikini paired with a semi-transparent white mesh long-sleeve cover-up. This cover-up easily caught water splashes, clinging to the skin once wet and subtly revealing the white bikini underneath, creating a fantastic texture in the water.

The shooting location was an outdoor open-air pool (Outdoor photography), featuring grayish-white tiles and sparkling blue-green water. The weather was wonderful on shooting day with bright water reflections, allowing the photographer to rely mainly on natural light. In the first photo, I sat sideways along the pool edge propping myself up with my hands, dipping my legs into the water and adjusting angles to accentuate body curves. Sitting on the wet, slippery tiles made balance tricky, requiring several takes to find the angle that best showcased body lines. The second photo featured a kneeling pose with hands cupping my chin to project a cuter vibe, which was equally challenging for balance. Throughout the session, I continuously splashed water over my skin to maintain a glistening, dewy texture.

After wrapping up, we carefully reviewed the framing. The first shot had a more relaxed and open composition, providing a much better display of the leg and upper-body curves while keeping the figure centered in the frame rather than pushed to the edges; the second kneeling pose felt slightly confined with a tighter half-body framing, leading us to select the first photo as the cover. Both the styling and wardrobe for this shoot emphasized summer coolness—the exact reason I chose to portray this character. I hope everyone can feel Cinderella's breezy, relaxed poolside ambiance through this Swimsuit photo set.
