[Sunna cosplay] Mint Cutie in Zenless Zone Zero: Detail-Restored Rooftop Photography

When restoring this Sunna cosplay outfit from Zenless Zone Zero, I spent a lot of effort obsessing over the details while preparing the costume and accessories. At first glance, everyone might just see a lively and cute white-and-pink palette, but the structural design of this outfit is actually quite complex. The white corseted part of the top is not a simple fabric patchwork; it features a row of metal rivets on the front as anchor points, with the pink plush lettering "sum" in the middle being custom-made. The heart-shaped outline on the chest combined with these metal buckles creates a fantastic visual focus. The white frilled collar also has just the right stiffness, so it doesn't look limp.

Now let's talk about the sleeves and shoulder connectors, which I feel is the most meticulously designed part of this outfit. Rather than traditional one-piece long sleeves, it's divided into red-and-white shoulder straps, half-decorations below the collarbone, and independent detached arm sleeves. The benefit of detached sleeves is very straightforward: it enhances body expressiveness. When lifting hands or pointing at the camera, my arms can move freely without digging into the armpits like one-piece sleeves. The silver reflective buckle straps on the sleeves were also restored, preventing the pink sleeves from looking overly plain.

The lower-body outfit is also a highlight. The white multi-layered frilled skirt has a balanced number of layers. The white elastic lining and the white waist belt feature a buckle design; the belt's texture is firm enough to cinch the waistline nicely. Both sides of the skirt hem feature 3D white bows, with a tiny red cross decoration on the right bow—these subtle touches give the large blank blocks of color visual resting points. Additionally, the light blue thigh strap with a heart-shaped metal buckle on the thigh is a key detail for character recognition, serving not only a functional purpose but also adding a refreshing pop of color to the main white-and-pink scheme.

For hair and makeup, the mint-green wig is the soul feature of this character. To match the character, the hair strands were trimmed into suitable layers, and the light blue ribbon bow on top was attached separately so that the hair curvature wouldn't collapse under its weight. The heart-shaped black-framed sunglasses resting on the forehead served as a great prop during this shoot; pushed up, they didn't block eye contact while adding a lively, carefree vibe to the makeup. Light pink eyeshadow was used around the eyes paired with noticeable blush, bringing the makeup closer to that clear, energetic feel typical of an anime girl.

This outdoor location was chosen for rooftop photography in the city, flanked by silver-gray metal railings with blurred greenery and distant high-rises in the background. I highly recommend rooftop photography in natural light because the ample lighting allows the white and pink shades of the outfit to display their cleanest textures without needing artificial lighting. The photographer @炒方便面 captured fantastic angles during the shoot; the composition of the first photo perfectly framed the full-body proportions and stretched poses. Actions like pointing a finger at the cheek or gesturing with hands were made spontaneously on set. Standing stiffly in this style of costume can look somewhat awkward, but adding these casual moves expresses the playful and dynamic side of her character nicely.

As for wearing comfort, the straps on the corset section actually required someone's assistance to adjust to the snugness that fits the body best. Although it visually slims the waist, you have to be mindful of your breathing rhythm while wearing it. Since the skirt hem is relatively short, I prepared safety shorts underneath beforehand so as not to affect movement, allowing me to pose comfortably whether turning sideways or bending knees slightly. Overall, this outfit is very well-balanced in proportion control, blending youthful charm with clever character design touches. The moment I pushed the sunglasses up onto my head, completed the makeup and wig, and stood on the rooftop facing the natural light, I truly felt like I stepped into the world where this character belongs. I hope everyone likes the state presented in these outdoor photos, which serves as my visual interpretation of Sunna, as part of my casual cosplay log.
