Part 2 of this Zenless Zone Zero Nico cosplay photoshoot is finally here! Long pink twintails topped with black bunny-ear headwear and a black-and-yellow colorblocked hair clip on the bangs immediately brought out the layered silhouette of the hairstyle. The makeup centered heavily on the eyes: bright green cosmetic contacts paired with pink eyeshadow faithfully captured Nico's crafty, slightly dangerous spark. The top is a white cropped tube top featuring her signature black geometric line pattern across the chest. Over it, I wore a cropped black off-the-shoulder jacket with white cuffs, complemented by black leather arm bracers studded with metal eyelets and rivets; this collision of leather and hardware delivers an authentic street vibe. On the lower half are black micro-shorts trimmed with white plush fur along the hem, cinched at the waist with a heavy metal-buckled belt left dangling naturally for an unruly, rebellious touch. A black leather garter was strapped around my thigh, paired with distressed over-the-knee black stockings and platform lace-up combat boots whose blue sole accents tied seamlessly into the techwear aesthetic.
In terms of props, I held the black square briefcase patterned with vintage gold motifs in hand, with the green plush doll dangling at my hip; the craftsmanship across all props was remarkably solid. The shoot took place at Miyou Miaomiao House, where red brick walls, black chain-link fencing, and a retro silver boombox in the background forged an evocative cyberpunk atmosphere weaving vintage grit with futuristic edge. Photographer Leng Shao possessed an incredible eye for capturing dramatic lighting, while stylist Qing Xu polished every makeup detail to perfection. Alternating between standing and seated poses, I focused on channeling Nico's bold, razor-sharp presence, aligning my gaze and physical gestures with her cunning persona. I hope this visual aesthetic lets everyone feel her distinctive charm, and I'd love to hear your thoughts on the tailoring and photography!
