[Nero Cosplay] Fate/Grand Order Roman Flower's Pure White Bride

This pure white styling of Fate/Grand Order's Roman Flower took nearly half a month to finally finalize, from wig trimming and styling to costume detail adjustments. Because I've always loved the design in the Fate series that combines gorgeousness and a sense of weight, I decided to complete this set of studio photos at Guangyu Photography Self-shooting Studio.

The shooting on that day lasted from morning until evening. In terms of makeup and styling, to match the character's characteristics, I specially wore green contact lenses, used warm brown eyeshadow with fine shimmers to increase the depth of the gaze, and chose a relatively deep red for the lipstick so that I wouldn't look unhealthy in front of the pure white background. The golden high ponytail and iconic ahoge are the soul, fixed with a lot of hairspray and invisible hairnets, and the styling of the hair ends was also specially treated to ensure the hair wouldn't scatter when swinging the weapon.

Wearing this outfit is indeed quite strenuous. The white puff sleeves are not only bulky, but also easy to get stuck when raising arms. The high collar neck guard in front of the chest features black strap details, hanging a brass-colored metal lock, which is a bit heavier than expected, but the texture captured in photos is fantastic. The waist has a belt and metal buckles, with a zipper design on the side. The skirt hem of the lower body features brown wavy patterns and light blue lining; extra attention must be paid to avoid wardrobe malfunctions when walking or making movements. The legs wear white over-the-knee high-heeled boots, and the belt fixation at the thighs needs to be tied very tightly so they won't slide down. Overall, this costume combines the lightness of a wedding dress and the weight of tactical bondage.

The weapon prop is a customized greatsword with a white, black, and gold color scheme, which carries a fair amount of weight in hand. When shooting the first half-body composition, I carried the weapon on my back with one hand while holding white fabric with the other; this pose requires core tightening to maintain stability. When shooting the second full-body dynamic picture, photographer @Teacher Nord asked me to hold the greatsword diagonally pointing towards the ground, while cooperating with the visual effect of the fluttering skirt hem. To capture the moment when the skirt hem and fabric flew up, the assistant beside me kept using a reflector to help fan air. Teacher Nord's lighting under the pure white background is extremely professional, capturing the layering of the costume and the texture of the metal lock very translucently, and the edge lighting and shadows are handled just right.

Although moving around in this outfit during the entire shooting process was very tiring, seeing the finished photos made it feel completely worth it. This retouching retained the true texture of the skin without excessive skin smoothing, preserving the natural transition of light and shadow. Previously, some preview pictures were released, and these last two pictures have been kept in my phone; this time they are truly all posted.
