In the summer of 2021, a momentous event occurred that united almost every hero and villain in the Marvel Universe. Yet instead of the usual cataclysmic end-of-the-world crisis, Cyclops, Captain America, Magneto, and the rest were all united by a greater threat: what to wear to a party.
The Hellfire Club Gala showcased over two dozen stunning outfits that caused readers to take a second look at these long-established characters. While differing in color schemes and cultural influences, the best looks told a story about the mutants that wore them and revealed something about them that some comic book fans never knew.
8 Karma
One of the more obscure mutants in the X-Men universe, Karma has never gotten a proper spotlight. From her time as one of the first New Mutants team members to her sporadic guest appearances in various X-titles throughout the years, she has always faded into the background. Aside from the routine black-and-yellow X-Men uniform every student of Xavier’s wears, she’s never shown a distinct look like her teammates.
That all changed at the Hellfire Club Gala. Sporting a bold, heavy pink jacket, Karma instantly made an impression as the only attendee to commit to one color—and wear no pants. Xi’an Coy Manh proudly shows off her cybernetic leg, and her layered coat subtly mimics how her telepathic power manifests itself as a pink, blocky circle surrounding a possessed person’s head. It’s a look that’s unmistakably Karma, and one that no other mutant could successfully pull off with such striking panache.
7 Rachel Summers
Rachel Summers has adopted many personas throughout the years: Phoenix, Mother Askani, Marvel Girl, and her current iteration, Prestige. But she originally started out as one of Ahab’s mutant-hunting Hounds in a dark alternate future. Dressed in a crimson red bodysuit with metal spikes across her arms and chest, Rachel suffered a traumatic childhood where she was forced to kill her friends and loved ones.
While it’s initially shocking that she chose a variation of this outfit as her Gala costume, it’s not unprecedented. Rachel has been seeking to come to terms with her past over the years and wearing this outfit, which adds stiletto heels and a leash made of her own hair, is her way of confronting her trauma instead of repressing it. It’s the rare fashion statement that functions as therapy.
6 Nightcrawler
Despite his demonic appearance, Nightcrawler has always been one of the more carefree and lighthearted X-Men members. His love for old pirate movies, and adventure novels like The Three Musketeers, has manifested itself over the years by his occasional wielding of a saber and cavalier hat.
What makes Nightcrawler’s Gala look so fun is how it effectively honors the good-natured spirit of the character. Utilizing his signature red and black color scheme, Kurt Wagner adds a dramatic short black cape, leather boots, and a white jabot to his floor-length crimson coat. The teleporting mutant completes his 19th-century French aristocratic look with a red plume hat atop his curly blue hair. The result is the teleporting mutant looking like a modern-day Alexandre Dumas character who is ready to save any damsel in distress who crosses his path.
5 Angel
As one of the original X-Men, Angel was the designated ladies’ man of the group. With his striking good looks, intoxicating charm, and massive wealth, Warren Worthington III looked like a physical embodiment of an angel even before he grew giant wings from his back.
Warren’s Gala look isn’t surprising, but that doesn’t mean it’s not one of the best. In fact, what makes it so good is how well it represents his capricious character. With a blue-and-white color palette that honors his original superhero costume, Warren’s flowy blue cape and baggy white pants convey a lightweight, airy feel that is appropriate for the high-flying Angel. Best of all his Warren’s top, or rather a lack of one, as the handsome mutant opted to show his bare chest in an ultimate act of hubris that is fitting for the slightly narcissistic playboy.
4 Storm
Storm has had many memorable looks over the years with some more well-received than others. In one of many things only comic fans know about Storm, her mohawk look, replete with a tight leather jacket, was initially met with stern disapproval by her close teammate Kitty Pryde. Ororo’s sartorial choices have always been controversial, but also reflective of where she was in her life.
For her debut at the Hellfire Gala, Ororo opted to honor her roots as both an X-Man and an African with an outfit that combined her classic “All-New, All-Different” superhero outfit with large gold bracelets on her hands, chest, and neck. These Kenyan adornments are accentuated by black thigh-high boots and a lightning bolt fascinator. Perhaps the most dramatic accessory isn’t technically clothing at all; in the place of her usual black cape is a small smoky storm cloud with yellow streaks of lighting that convey the mutant goddess’ intimidating power.
3 Rogue
No one conveys sophisticated coolness quite like Rogue. The long-reformed villainess-turned-superhero sticks with what has worked well for her over the years: a green-and-black color palette with a mini-jacket that matches her high-waisted pants.
To make it high fashion, Rogue looks back to the past and utilizes several key ’80s sartorial trends: BMX biker leather gloves; a dramatic oversized collar; leather high heel boots; and shoulder pads that give weight to her small but powerful frame. With green sunglasses and teased hair, Rogue successfully completes her Patrick Nagel-inspired look with a flourish that no other Gala attendee could get away with.
2 Colossus
Unlike others at the Gala, Piotr opts not to incorporate any nods or colors to his standard superhero costume. This is somewhat of a surprise considering his ketchup red and mustard yellow look is generally considered one of the best X-Men superhero costumes ever.
Colossus’ boldness pays off as his Gala look is easily the best male outfit at the event. With his fur-lined ebony coat (with crimson red lining) and his Cossack hat, Piotr honors his Russian roots while accentuating his giant frame. Three differently sized gold chains on his neck and chest provide a pop of color while his sheer mesh top showcases his massive organic steel chest. With a side fade haircut and uncharacteristic beard and mustache combination, Colossus, for the first time in the character’s nearly 50-year history, became a comic book sex symbol and, according to CBR, a Twitter thirst trap for a new generation of appreciative fans.
1 Emma Frost
It’s fitting that Emma Frost, who has always been a fashion trendsetter in the X-Men comics, has not one, not two, but three of the best outfits at the Hellfire Gala. What makes Emma so fashion-forward is that her costumes aren’t just superficial, off-the-rack outfits; instead, each tells a story about her evolution as a character.
Her first outfit consists of a giant white fur coat with an “x” cut out over her chest and a diamond headdress. This outfit symbolizes Emma’s time as the villainous White Queen: beautiful, dangerous, closed-off, and impenetrable. Her second look is a nod to her famous New X-Men outfit that consisted of a white leather top and bottom in the shape of an X. This costume, accompanied by a fur train tied to her hands and an oversized fascinator, shows a stage in her life when Emma transitioned from villain to hero. Her final look, a stunning floor-length gown made of draped crystals hanging from her neckline, reveals her current transformation as a woman with no secrets left to reveal. Her diamond skin and small white gloves accentuate the crystal-clear clarity of her look and statement: she is no longer the woman she once was, yet she isn’t ashamed about her checkered past. Taken together, these looks tell a complete story about a complex character that no outfit in the Hellfire Club Gala can quite match.
