The X-Men's signature 'mall rat' Jubilee may not have the most real-world accessible costume, but one devoted fan's cosplay somehow made it work.
The X-Men's former young protégé Jubilation Lee aka Jubilee has one of the most distinct costume designs in the mutant superhero team's history, and now one cosplayer has brought her iconic '90s look to life with massive success. Jubilee's signature costume isn't technically a uniform at all but rather a jacket and glasses combo with an enormous foot stuck in the early '90s, yet somehow still accessible in the modern fashion era.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY The presence of Jubilee in the comics and X-Men: The Animated Series made a huge impact on fans like model, actress, and cosplayer Kara Vasseur . In a professional portrait by artist and photographer @half.toned, shared on Instagram by @killaframez, Vasseur dons an outfit that recreates Jubilee's iconic look from the visor sunglasses, colorful shorts, and even the bright yellow jacket.
Like most of her fellow X-Men, Jubilee has made her transition to the silver screen, via cameo appearances in the X-Men films. While the cinematic interpretation of Jubilee never quite received the status of her comic book counterpart, the character's signature yellow jacket remained well intact. Jubilee's colorful design choice may look a bit campy on screen, but discarding the outfit may ultimately risk dissociating itself from the hero.
With Kara's depiction of Jubilee, it's gratifying to see a fan that takes the integrity of the comic design and make it not seem dated or overly grandiose but an aspect of regular fashion that can additionally serve as the uniform of a mutant superhero. One can only hope that the Marvel Cinematic Universe version of Jubilee can take a page from this memorable X-Men cosplay.
