I could be a benevolent ruler, on occasion 🔱 . . . I had a very clear vision in my head how this cosplay was going to look but honestly no idea how to execute it. I spent months hunting for fabric and jewelry and it all came together with a lot of perseverance and love for my parents culture. We come from a land of greenery and rivers and I thought that Aquaman could absolutely be from Bangladesh 🇧🇩. . . .

My Top 9 posts of 2019! It's been a great year for rolling out six (!!!!) new cosplays, rewearing a few favorites, reuniting with cosfam, and making new friends. Looking forward to seeing what 2020 brings! What are you looking forward to in 2020? . . . #hijab #hijabcosplay #hijabi #hijabicosplay #cosplay #marvel #MarvelComics #marvelcosplay #mcu #muslimcosplay #poccosplay #browncosplay #nycc #NYCC2019 #HijabHeroes #thanos #theforceisfemale #thanoscosplay #aquaman #aquamancosplay #dccomics #dc #dccosplay #leia #PrincessLeia #princessleiacosplay #StarWars #StarWarscosplay #theforce #therock (at New York Comic Con) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6npHIVDGxP/?igshid=kmicl1mp2i8u

Happy Spiderman Day! Check out this incredible custom hijab that @malihaness designed herself. I told her that I'm going to steal it from her. . . . #wonderwoman #wonderwomancosplay #spiderman #spidermanday #hijab #hijabi #hijabcosplay #hijabicosplay #cosplay #dccosplay #dccomics #dc #Marvel #MarvelComics #marvelcosplay #muslimcosplay #poccosplay #browncosplay #casualcosplay #goash (at Snug Harbor Cultural Center and Botanical Garden) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0pa3PzDpte/?igshid=18biwkieyknsy

Seeing @blairimani all over social media for her excellent Star Trek cosplay is reminding me how much I love Star Trek myself. Here is the cosplay that forced me to learn how to block out my massive eyebrows and to consider the aesthetic of fitting dreads under a hijab. Being an engineer myself, I loved seeing that the female protagonist of blockbuster film wanted to study engineering. And with that, the concept of Jaylah as an Engineer came together, hijabi version. . . . 📸: @foodandcosplay . #startrek #startrekcosplay #startrekbeyond #jaylah #jaylahcosplay #hijab #hijabcosplay #hijabi #hijabicosplay #cosplay #nycc #nycc2016 #livelongandprosper #poccosplay #poc #browncosplay #muslimcosplay (at New York Comic Con) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0M-bv4jzT0/?igshid=10bbtvxry3fv5
