Warning! Spoilers for X-Men's Hellfire Gala by Marvel Comics
The X-Men's Emma Frost is never one to hold back when it comes to high-fashion, unique looks, and costumes, and in new Hellfire Gala fan art, the hero gets three outfits that are perfect for the White Queen. Artist @SaintSanti15 shared their take on three costumes for Frost for the X-Men 2022 Hellfire Gala, as the high-fashion ensembles are incredibly detailed and wouldn't look out of place as real designs used for the event.
The X-Men's Hellfire Gala is a celebration of mutants on Krakoa, as guests from around the Marvel Universe enjoy an evening of high-fashion hosted by Emma Frost. Marvel Comics' first Hellfire Gala was a success, as a second annual event will be coming to the pages of Marvel Comics soon. While Marvel has already unveiled some incredible looks for many heroes, including Wolverine, Jean Grey, and Namor the Sub-Mariner, new fan art gives Emma Frost multiple costumes for the night, with details that make each ensemble special.
On their Frost's bra and belt are inspired by her New X-Men look, while her iconic "nothing less than fabulous" quote is referenced for her diamond heels and earrings. The design page calls the costume a "deconstructed Astonishing X-Men inspired look."
Emma's second costume in the fan art is her "Master of Ceremonies" outfit, which imagines real-life fashion designers including the Giuseppe Zanotti brand and Arturo Rios, creating elements for the look. The transparent diamond prism dress accented by white pointed leather gloves and a "psychic bedlam" feather headpiece make the X-Men hero look extravagant.
The third costume for Emma Frost in the X-Men 2022 Hellfire Gala fan art has the hero slipping into a gown for cocktail hour. The gorgeous sheer frosted dress is stunning, as the look also features Swarovski crystal drop earrings, Gen X strap heels, and a custom crystal champagne glass.
The costumes strike a perfect balance of being appropriately daring, honoring the character's past outfits and history, and implementing real-life design elements. As far as fan art goes, it doesn't get much better, as @SaintSanti15 clearly understands the character. If Emma Frost sported any of these looks at the X-Men's 2022 Hellfire Gala event, she'd not only fit right in but would steal the show. The Emma Frost ensembles are so good, in fact, that Marvel Comics should consider reaching out to the artist to design some looks for next year's event. The Hellfire Gala begins in July.
