Warning! Potential spoilers for X-Men's Hellfire Gala event below
In a gorgeous new piece of fan art, Cyclops and Jean Grey get incredible costumes that imagine an even more high-fashion look for both heroes for the X-Men's upcoming 2022 Hellfire Gala. In the designs from artist @SaintSanti15, Scott Summers and Jean Grey's most iconic looks great reimagined in alternative Hellfire Gala costumes. The results are unique and fitting outfits that make each hero stand out.
The X-Men's 2022 Hellfire Gala will see the mutants of Krakoa trading in their usual costumes for high-fashion looks. Marvel's top character and costume designers, including Mark Brooks, Russell Dauterman and Jen Bartel, contributed new ensembles for the heroes and villains attending the event that are high-fashion twists on what readers are used to seeing them in. The 2022 Hellfire Gala also led to numerous pieces of fan art, with artists putting their unofficial twists on the characters. @SaintSanti15's bold, highly detailed, and luxurious takes on costumes are among the best that aren't created directly from Marvel Comics - with their spin on Cyclops and Jean Grey showing off their talent as a designer.
On their Twitter account, @SaintSanti15's shared two different sets of fan art costumes for Cyclops and Jean Grey for the X-Men's upcoming 2022 Hellfire Gala. The first, more formal look, features Jean in a hot pink metallic hooded dress designed by Azzedine Alaia. The dress has a deep-cut neckline and open back and is styled with a gold Phoenix emblem that sits on her back. Meanwhile, Scott's costume comes from concept art for Dormamu in 2016's Doctor Strange by Jerad Marantz. With exaggerated shoulder pads on his leather coat, a Wetlook catsuit, and a new helmet that covers the top of his head, the hero is oozing with style.
The second Hellfire Gala costume design fan art for each hero is also spectacular. Jean Grey gets a Black Queen-inspired ensemble with a gorgeous chrome Phoenix bustier and belt. From the leather choker, the Krakoan flower brooch, and the long boots, Jean Grey looks devilishly divine - as she reclaims her traumatic past with the look. Meanwhile, Cyclops' costume is part Jim Lee and part Lords Cardinal of the Hellfire Club. With a fishnet torso, paired with a bolero top and sheer sleeves, Summers is aiming to stand out alongside his queen.
The new Hellfire Gala fan art gives Cyclops and Jean Grey two costumes that would turn heads at the high-fashion event. Each look is bold in its own unique way and pays tribute to each X-Men's past and present while creating something new at the same time. Ultimately, both looks are fabulous, as Cyclops and Jean Grey look amazing in their highly stylized costumes.
