Qi’ra Cosplay Costumes
Qi’ra grew up on the streets and knew very little about the finer things in life. When she joined the Crimson Dawn, a whole new world opened before her eyes. A life of much fancier things that she could have only dreamed of as a child. When she finally reunited with Han Solo, it was at a function for higher-class people. She wears a long black evening gown with a large slit on one side, a grand gold necklace, and elegant black heels. It shows her elegance and her class while also hinting at her alliance to who she now works for.
Her look would also be a great option as a group cosplay! You could pair your Qi’ra look with a friend dressed as Han Solo or Dryden Vos, depending on which side you want to affiliate yourself with. Or maybe, go along with both to be a “double agent” seeking to play one side like a fiddle!
About Qi’ra

She is reunited with Solo when he has to get coaxium for Vos but ultimately fails the mission. She betrays Vos and kills him to save Han. She decides to not stay with Han realizing she can’t escape the criminal life she has and ventures to Dathomir to find the actual leader of Crimson Dawn.
