Phil Noto’s cover for the upcoming Hellfire Gala issue

[myownlittleusername]

How are you supposed to tell the two redheads apart?

[Exodus]

Hope and Emma are looking super nice

Jean is... -sight-, she fell to the low levels of Kitty, honestly. Sorry Dautermann.

same for me. I do not like it at all. It is way too monochrome and those shoulder spikes are so overdone. I also do not see a lot of design here. Sorry Mr. Dautermann. Putting melon helmets on women is not my favorite fashion choice. ;-) I like that she seems to have a huge high Ariana Grande pony tale though.

So Angela Merkel of Jean!

Kate Pryde with the period piece school play fit lmaooo

I'm actually digging Jean's look here... something fun and different. Emma looks gorgeous as usual. I wonder if that's Hope who decided join the fun this year?

One is obviously younger (congrats to Noto). Also different vibes.
I wonder how much SoS will impact Hope's messianic persona though. I would have thought she would be the warrior one.

She's nothing if not consistent.

[Frobisher]

Is Jean actually exposing more of her chest than Emma is? Not that Emma isn't trying hard but...although otherwise that outfit looks off. Hope seems more sensibly dressed than Jen which is something I never thought I'd say.

Also is that Kitty next to Exodus? Something pirate-inspired again? What's the point of the beret?

It's fashion, darling.

Emma and Hope look amazing

[Fokken]

Duggan confirmed that Dauterman designed Jean’s look and Emma is designed by Krista Feranka.

Its KRIS ANKA.

[Alex_Of_X]

Its KRIS ANKA.

Lmaoooooo

Krista Feranka's a Drag name if I've ever heard one

[Frontier]

Right? As someone noted on Twitter, “She’s her own knight in shining armor.” With killer cleavage. I can't wait to see Dauterman’s rendering.

I get it in concept it just feels a little excessive. Then again, this is the Hellfire Gala so I guess that comes with the territory .

I wonder if the inspiration could be Minaj in Burberry at the 2022 Met gala
The only other reference I easily found on helmets on the runway are from a 2013 McQueen collection.

[JB]

I'm looking forward to all the designs being released!

I like the green to orange of the boot.

[Nicoclaws]

Ooooh the BOOOOOOOOTS

I also wonder how much the helmet is an answer to "what is that thing on her head ? Is it cloth ? Is it armor ? Nobody know !" And the way Cassara definitely seems to think it's an helmet.

[Agent Grayson]

The cover positions Cyclops within a Krakoan gate, so I wonder if he’s not at the Gala. I’m excited to see his 90s uniform back.

Kitty looks like a rejected Final Fantasy design but I’m glad to hear she’s getting a key role.
