This Mystique Costume At Comic Con Completely “Blue” Everyone Away

Last Friday, October 7th, the Comic Con Fest In New York City was home to some pretty amazing cosplays. The highlight this year? Rebecca Lindsay’s awe-inspiring Mystique cosplay.

Mystique is a supervillain from X-Men who has the ability to shapeshift. Her natural appearance is blue skin and red hair. “Making it was tough and I totally had my mom sew me into the thing and help glue on the sequins,” Lindsay told Cosplay In America. “I used an army costume from Ebay and a cheapo body suit from Amazon. We just cut off the extra and sewed the uniform on top of the blue. The sequins helped cover up all the seems. I also used two wigs and sewed those things together (so tough!!!) and sprayed the mystique hair bright red.”

Jody Houser photographed and posted a photo of Lindsay’s Mystique costume on Instagram on the second day of NYCC, and it has gone viral since – within a few hours the photo had made its way to sites such as Imgur, Reddit, Twitter, and beyond. Check it out below!
