Darling in the Franxx cosplayer stuns as real-life Zero Two

Cosplayer ‘alixx.rosa‘ shared her incredible transformation into Zero Two in a series of posts on Instagram. She perfectly depicted the character’s look by using red-wing tipped mascara to highlight her striking green eyes. Tying the whole thing together, her flowing pink hair drapes over her shoulders.

Alix re-created an iconic scene from the anime where the character strikes a peace sign while leaning forward. Photographer ‘jamesgraysen‘ captured the moment while the artist dressed up in Zero Two’s signature red pilot bodysuit.

In the story, the protagonist is half-human and Klaxosaur – which the cosplayer faithfully portrayed with her white headband accessory which features two red horns piercing up through it.

As if that wasn’t impressive enough, alixx.rosa also created Zero Two’s academy uniform which she showed off in an epic TikTok. In the short clip, the artist lip-syncs various lines of dialogue from the anime.

This isn’t the only anime heroine Alix has portrayed either, the skilled artist has depicted characters from series such as Neon Genesis Evangelion and Re:Zero as well. You can check out her other insanely accurate re-creations here.
