Alright, so this photoshoot by Paris-based photographer Florian Fromentin (aka flexgraph) is blowing my freakin’ mind. I was one of those kids who grew up in that golden age between Star Wars franchises, so The Fifth Element was, and remains, the epitome of space adventure flicks to me. Seriously, it has everything– action, romance, strange religions, aliens, weird hairdos, weirder clothes, and a blue latex lady singing opera. What else could you ask for? I’ve seen some great Fifth Element cosplay, but the artistry of this shoot is what stands out for me. Vive le Cinquième Élément!
Note: the links to the photographer’s website, and the cosplay mag on the flickr stream, are inactive. Fair warning!
- Leeloo Dallas Multipass!
- Original multipass, for your reference.
- I couldn’t find a better still of this scene, where Ruby makes the flight attendant…swoon.
