Avatar: The Last Airbender fans love Toph Beifong’s tomboyish vibe, although she was raised like a princess, a talented cosplayer showed off her elegant side by creating a polished version of her regular outfit.
Avatar: The Last Airbender heroes have something unique to offer, but Toph surpassed them all by becoming an earth-bending master despite being blind since birth. She initially wanted to prove to her parents that blindness didn’t make her weak, but eventually ended up becoming one of the most powerful characters in the show and an important member of Team Avatar.
Toph’s popularity extends to the cosplayer community. Cosplayers have previously recreated everything from her usual get-up to an elegant dress she once wore, it is hard to find one more distinctive than Emma J.I.Q Rubini’s Art Nouveau Toph. “You see nothing once, and you’ve seen it a thousand times,” she wrote referring to a quote.

“Y’all remember when we used to have cons? I’m so happy I went to Katsucon this year since it ended up being the only one I went to. Here’s the cosplay I made for it,” she added. “Art Nouveau Toph! I am incredibly proud of the work I put into it, and I’m happy I got to wear it to such a pretty con! One day maybe I’ll wear it again.”
Emma flawlessly captured all the important elements of Toph’s outfit, including the green and beige garments, contact lenses, as well as the hairstyle tucked under a headband with a flower. Aside from that, she included some exotic details conforming to a style known as Art Nouveau.

It features elegantly woven tapestries with encrusted jewels and a slew of other bits and pieces that add some class. It takes a lot of time and effort to re-create an outfit, and Emma nailed it. Watch this space for the latest cosplay.
