These Malaysian Cosplayers Combine Creativity with Modest Dressing

 In the world of Costume Play, enthusiasts create elaborate costumes to dress up and portray their favorite superheroes and cartoon characters, but for women, this often means scanty, highly sexualized outfits that leave little to the imagination. However an increasing number of Muslim women in Malaysia are turning this stereotype on its head, creating modest superhero outfits that incorporate their hijabs into their superhero creations. In fact, the country is hosting its first ever event dedicated to modest cosplay, a convention which is specifically aimed at female Cosplayers who wear hijab and don’t wear the scanty costumes seen at other conventions. The convention showcases amazing creativity, as players find innovative ways to accurately portray their favorite characters without revealing skin. The inspirational girls prove that women can pursue their passions and express themselves without compromising their beliefs.
