An all-star lineup of cosplayers, photographers and videographers have teamed up to imagine what it would look like if the stars of Sailor Moon had a more adult photoshoot.

It was a reunion of sorts for CineCosu Studiosā Dominique Zamora, who assembled much of the same team we featured earlier in the year for a Sailor Moon x 90s fashion project. That means cosplayers Stella Chuu, Hendo, Akemi101xoxo, Maid of Might and Jynx are all reprising their roles.
This time around, the boudoir shoot took place at Wonderland Studios, which was handy because itās the same place that made the costumes.
āThe concept was meant to be a play on the scoutsā transformation sequences, wherein the girlsā clothes are removed and replaced by their individual elementsā, Zamora tells Kotaku. āInspired by the rose petal scene in American Beauty, we wanted to keep all the effects practical rather than using Photoshop, and had to get a little creative to make that happen. We used clear plastic Christmas ornament balls for Mercuryās bubbles, red, yellow, and orange tulle for Marsās fire, iridescent cellophane for Jupiterās lightning, a set of star string lights for Venusās star ribbons, and of course, just regular pink ribbon for Moon.
Below you can see the images produced from the shoot. A warning that some might find them a little NSFW
For an idea of just how much work and gear goes into producing cosplay shots of this quality, hereās a behind-the-scenes video:
