[Yixuan Cosplay] Trails of Ink Style in Zenless Zone Zero: How Should You Address This Outfit?

"Big sister" sounds too young, "Auntie" sounds too old, so what exactly should you call me? Today's set of Yixuan cosplay photos is perfect for exploring this tricky dilemma.

This outfit is an interpretation of the Trails of Ink style. The black patent leather jacket looks textured under the studio lights, creating a high contrast between the shiny leather glaze and the white inner collar. Underneath is a white petticoat overlaid with multiple layers of crisscrossing grey and black skirts, rich in dimension, though I had to be extra careful while walking to avoid stepping on the hem or heels. The black pantyhose on the lower body—featuring that straight back-seam line stretching from the upper thigh down to the ankle—is a fantastic black stockings cosplay detail that accentuates the leg shape, visually elongating my proportions when paired with red-soled black stiletto heels.

The key prop is the glowing gold card in my hand. Although post-processing helped synthesize the light effect, during the initial shoot I had to pose based on intuition, mimicking holding a glowing object with an angle that felt natural yet powerful. To capture the character's stern yet elegant demeanor, I designed a few specific poses: one standing facing forward at a half-side angle, and another stepping sideways, allowing the long silver-white wig to spread dynamically. That tuft of hair sticking up on top of the white wig was also carefully styled with hairspray; this wig style doesn't fit snugly against the scalp, requiring constant adjustments to the bangs and sideburns throughout the shoot.

For makeup, the focus was placed on the eyes. Smudged pink-toned eyeshadow paired with slightly sharp eyeliner emphasized the character's quiet detachment. Meanwhile, the white hair color nicely balanced out the sharpness, creating an aura that feels distant without being overly harsh. The preparation for this shoot was actually quite rushed; from styling the outfit and wig to final makeup setting, every step tested our teamwork. When the final images came out, seeing the placement of the patent leather highlights and the drape of the skirts hit just right made all the effort feel completely worthwhile.

The positioning of this shoot was to incorporate my own interpretation while preserving the character's original setting. Thus, instead of complex scenes, we used a clean, minimalist pure grey background, keeping all focus squarely on clothing textures, hairstyle details, and prop interaction. I hope this set allows everyone to see another side of Yixuan's style.
