[Sunna cosplay] Zenless Zone Zero Sunna's Sweet and Cool Mint Green Twin-Tail Styling

This time I brought out this outfit of Sunna from Zenless Zone Zero, and the restoration focus of the overall styling was placed on color echoing and accessory details. The wig was chosen to be a light mint green, and the twin-tail styling retained its fluffiness with the hair roots lifted a bit to avoid sticking to the scalp, while a black bobby pin and geometric triangle clip were added to the bangs position to add a bit of rebellious everyday feel. The hair volume was quite large, and grooming it took quite a bit of time, especially maintaining the arc of the twin-tails; they got a bit scattered after shooting, but fortunately, the final photo results were pretty good.

The shirt is a white short-sleeved piece with ruffle designs on the collar and cuffs, looking relatively well-behaved. But to suppress this excessive sweetness, I chose a red star tie for accessories, and installed small white angel wings on the back. The wing print and stars on the tie are the soul of it, and wearing it instantly gives a tight sense of combat readiness. The waist decoration is the visual focus; a white belt cinches the waistline, with a large black bow hanging on the side, centered with a blue-and-yellow alternating star decoration. This irregular color block collision matches the trendy and cool art style of Zenless Zone Zero very well. The skirt hem is a black multi-layered pleated skirt with many layers, creating a great spreading effect when spinning around, which, coordinated with the waist accessories, balances the whiteness of the upper body.

On the arms, I wore pink-and-white striped sleeve covers. I originally planned to use ordinary ones, but still felt that stripes could echo the slouchy socks on the lower body. A little trick was done on the legs: a pink ring-banded thigh garter was tied to the thigh, and a black leather garter was added to the left leg, making the details richer. The Stockings are white over-the-knee socks layered with pink-and-white striped slouchy socks, and on my feet, I stepped into a pair of white bunny plush slippers. The overall colors actually only consist of white, black, pink, and mint green, but in terms of layering, it's divided into knitwear, fabric, and plush.

Regarding the makeup part, this time I didn't overemphasize heavy eye makeup, instead keeping a clear and translucent base makeup. The eyeshadow used mint green and a tiny bit of pink blending to echo the hair color and sleeve covers. The eyeliner was elongated along the eye shape and slightly flicked up, because the character Sunna carries a bit of a cunning and composed temperament. Contouring was kept relatively restrained, because the colors of the clothing itself are already vivid enough; if the face is too heavy, it will lose the balance of the frame. The lip makeup chose a matte red tone, forming an up-and-down echo with the tie color.

In terms of props, the angel wings on the back use lightweight materials for easy angle adjustment. The wings can't be too soft or floppy, so some support was added inside so they can stand up during photos. That blue-and-yellow bow decoration is modified, slightly larger than the original design, to make it more eye-catching in photos. The shoes didn't use the original styling, because seeing the bunny slipper element, I felt it could increase the contrast effect more in a home self-shooting environment. This is actually my own coordination idea; sometimes being fully armed is not as good as adding a bit of everyday lifestyle elements to make the frame more vibrant.

During the shoot, it mainly utilized natural light in the room plus a little fill light. When back-lit, the mint green wig has a sense of translucency, and the hair color appears lighter. The hardest part about mirror selfies is the light angle because it's easy to capture reflections of the phone screen, so I tried angles for a long time. Holding the phone slightly higher makes the jawline clearer and elongates the leg lines.

Styling and wearing the costume is a tedious chore, especially wig trimming and styling set, which took a lot of time this time. Although the layers of clothes are numerous, the breathability is acceptable, not too stuffy. Bunny slippers, though cute, tend to make the feet look wider during shooting, so I paid attention to the standing posture and center of gravity position.

The whole process was quite joyful, though there were also unsatisfactory parts, like the tie clip sometimes getting crooked, and the wig fluttering a bit due to static electricity during shooting. But this is also the charm of cosplay; every time there are some unexpected situations, but ultimately seeing the photos present that vibrant image makes all the hassle worth it. The plan next is to try more character stylings, honing my makeup styling and post-processing skills. To reduce background clutter, a smudge filter and star stickers were added post-processing to focus vision on the character.

Shoes chose plush material, feeling very light and soft when stepping on the floor. In the entire styling, this outfit actually leans towards an everyday modified version of 2D style. Many friends asked whether such multi-piece layered matching would look bloated. My experience is that as long as the waist tightening is done well, the upper body shirt shouldn't be too long, paired with platform plush shoes, the proportions won't crush your height. Wig maintenance needs hair wax to grab a bit of hair texture, don't comb it too rigidly.

The facial expression management of the photos taken this time can't be seen well because of the phone and stickers, but body language tried to reflect a girl's agility. Holding the phone with both hands, shoulders naturally relaxed, legs slightly split front and back, these poses are commonly used in mirror selfies and can well showcase leg lines and skirt hem layers. A small regret is that the angle of the wings can't be fully displayed during self-shooting, easily blocked by the body. If possible, next time I might need a friend to help with lighting.

The overall control of clothing texture and color saturation is the part I'm more satisfied with this time. Not pursuing excessive post-processing skin smoothing, retaining some skin texture and the original material of the clothes, for everyday cosplay sharing, feels more realistic.
