Loki’s costume at the end of S2E6 was perfect.

Yes, every part of it, down to those slippers.

And here’s my unsolicited (and delayed) thoughts on the matter.

First, let’s talk about his robe. Not only was it utterly beautiful, down to the draping and the deep, rich shade of green (and I mean come on, would we expect anything less?), its style was incredibly symbolic.

If you look at previous Loki ensembles, especially the ones that include a horned helmet, there is an air of grandeur and finery about them. The exquisitely stitched, buttery leather; the shiny gold trimmings and metal armor accents; the dramatic, billowing capes and overcoats. Even the silhouette of these looks is broad and structured — one might even say severe. Everything about these past looks screams “Look at me; I’m important” and reinforces Tony’s own observation in The Avengers that Loki is a “full-tilt diva” — he longs for the respect and attention that he deserves (and has been denied almost all of his life) and that longing is reflected in his clothing. They are reminiscent of the royal palace in which he was raised. They allow him to be battle-ready, because he’s had to fight and claw for every scrap of love and attention he’s managed to get. They represent a broken prince. A warrior cloaked in royalty. A would-be-king.

Now, compare that to his robe in Loki S2E6. It isn’t flashy. It has a soft silhouette. The shade of green is deeper and richer than we’ve seen; more earthy. An earthy shade of green which, in my opinion, is a nod to Yggdrasil, the cosmic tree that he will weave the branches of the multiverse into. The gold trimming across the front is subtle and understated - I even missed it at first and didn’t realize there was any gold trimming on the robe at all until I got a closer look later. It is simple. The draping is reminiscent of the robes worn by Buddhist monks. His robe reflects a Loki that has more wisdom and humility, and who has realized that being a good king — a proper god — means he will spend his life in service to others. It is the robe of a man who is confident and self-assured and knows exactly what kind of god he needs to be.

Now let’s talk about the slippers. I noticed that they got quite a bit of flack immediately after the finale aired. And I get it — they’re an odd choice, especially when we are so accustomed to the dramatic boots and finely-crafted and statement-making dress shoes he typically dons. For similar reasons as the robe, they are symbolic and fitting for Loki’s development into a wiser, more humble character. Don’t get me wrong, these loafers are still impeccably stylish, and no doubt they are of the finest craftsmanship, because this is still Loki we are talking about here. But they have a purpose, and that purpose is to get him to his final destination. These simple slippers barely even protect Loki’s feet, showing us a kind of vulnerability that we’re unaccustomed to seeing from Loki. He isn’t guarded in this moment; he’s open, connected to his purpose, and sure of himself. The shoes aren’t for battle; they aren’t meant to impress. They are meant to serve.

Now, about what is, quite possibly, my favorite feature of the costume. The horns. These iconic horns which we’ve associated with Loki from the very beginning take on an entirely reimagined look in the finale. First of all, they are bigger than any set we’ve seen resting upon Loki’s brow. So big, in fact, that they weren’t actually a physical part of the costume Tom Hiddleston wore. So big that they would likely hinder his performance if he actually had to bear their weight on his head.

In addition to their size, the horns are made of the same temporal-infused material from which both HWR’s talisman and the citadel at the end of time are constructed. Gone are the opulent golden horns that glisten and shine with the grandeur of royal finery. These horns are dark and heavy. They symbolize the unfathomable weight of the burden that Loki bears in his godly endeavor to save the multiverse. The golden temporal material that runs throughout the horns like veins is reminiscent, to me, of Kintsugi, the Japanese art of mending broken things with gold. And in a way, Loki is a broken thing that has been healed and mended throughout his personal journey of self-acceptance and friendship, and is now more beautiful than he ever has been. More humble. More selfless. More godly.

In addition to the horns, the cape, too, is the largest we’ve seen Loki wear. And while at first, this dramatically oversized cape may seem to stand in opposition to the humility that the rest of the outfit encapsulates, it works. It works because, like the horns, it is symbolic of the burden Loki has chosen to bear. This cape would be unbearably heavy; it would make even the most basic movement difficult. And on top of its sheer size, his cape even becomes torn into strips that are woven into the timelines themselves, literally securing his burden — his service to the multiverse — around his neck.

Lastly, I want to talk about the way this outfit manifested. There’s been a common thread throughout this discussion about the humility and selflessness that this ensemble puts on display. And while that’s true, we’re talking about a relative level of humility and selflessness, when compared to Loki’s previous tendencies. This is still Loki we’re talking about here. He’s got a flair for the dramatic. He’s nothing if not intentional about the way he presents himself. And the way he marched down that gangway like it was his own personal runway, while his clothing fell away in shreds and tatters to reveal this completely fresh but familiar look, was completely on-brand for him. It was theatrical. It was glorious.

His outfit at the end featured accessories that were heavy and larger than life. Those parts were a burden.

It wasn’t short on the style and drama that we’re so accustomed to seeing from Loki. It was glorious.

And every part of it, down to his humble shoes, was fit for purpose.

One look at this finale costume and you know, without doubt, that Loki is burdened with glorious purpose.

A/N: If you’ve made it this far, thank you for reading my unsolicited thoughts on this beautiful piece of costume design! Also, apologies for the delay in posting. I know some of you have been told this post was coming since the night the finale aired, weeks ago. Thank you for your patience with me as I gathered my thoughts and found the time to organize them and type them out.

It's my TEN YEAR Loki-versary!

November 2013 was my first outing in my first Loki, going into Boston to see the "midnight" showing of Thor: The Dark World with my friends. I had spent the previous few months working on everything new to me: first armour, first leatherwork, first costume of this complexity. Turns out it was only the beginning!

Over the past ten years, I have made or modified 11 Loki costumes (and I'm working on #12). I've done screen accurate builds, original designs, and obscure concept art that never made it into the films. I've taught myself so many new skills because of these costumes (and my grand total for clamping on zipper stops is well over 10,000). I've met Tom Hiddleston twice in full cosplay, for which I am forever grateful, and more than that, I've made some of my closest friends because I fell down the Loki rabbit-hole.

Condensing the Loki journey into a limited number of pics for the purpose of this post was almost impossible; but I've shared some of my favourites here, and you all KNOW I love to answer questions about these.

Whether you're fairly new here or you've stuck around since those early MCU days, thank you, seriously. Being able to share my slightly ridiculous Loki-obsessed journey has been amazing, and I promise there is more in the future!

(Now, Tandy Leather sales, here I come xD)

Loki has a Hitch Hiker

I know, I'm such a child. Just wanted to show off my latest cosplay piece, Loki's black and silver helm.

Crafted with foam, aluminum foil, and duct tape it was the easiest and fastest thing I've ever made lol

Debating on making a tutorial. I made this thing half-drunk so lol

Sylvie's Crown - Template

I have created a printable template for Sylvie's crown from season 1 of Loki! It's really easy to follow and you only need a few materials. For the horns, I went with the easy option and I bought those Halloween demon headbands and used those plastic horns; it worked wonders!

Here it is, in case anyone wants to create their own crown! Tag me if you do, I would love to see your recreations!

I have added instructions too.

Here's how mine turned out:

Okay but I really did love the costuming choice in how Sylvie spends most of the season in her battle armour, with her coat over the top. Just, the blend of the two, survival mode and civilian mode, the way civilian mode is on the outside, the face she shows to the world, it’s declaring, see this? this is what I want, this is my goal, this is my motivation. I want this life but for all that wanting, it’s still a second skin, because the thing she keeps closest is still her armour. The way that in episode two, we see that she either still has the armour to hand at all times, or her McDonalds uniform was just an illusion above it. Either way, it makes the point that while she desperately wants this new life, she isn’t sure she trusts it quite yet. She still has her survival mode lurking beneath the surface. Just in case. And yet, like with the little smiley face badge pinned to her armour, we see little bits of her new life that are creeping into it, like vines breaking apart concrete set down long ago. And then, at the very end, she’s wearing her coat again, but she doesn’t have her armour on beneath it this time. Instead, she’s wearing that comfortable soft grey top. We see that she’s safe, safe and free, free to live, with no armour between herself and her life

PEOPLE of the tumblr, I was reminded of this old photo of mine the other day, taken at Ukrainian comic con in 2021. And apparently (as I was also told) I look like Loki here sjskkssk?? (the funny thing is that I wasn’t actually cosplaying, it’s just my clothing. I love that coat. AND I haven’t even watched the show still)

I consider myself a Loki hipster with no small amount of self-mockery.

I've been a huge Norse mythology buff for most of my life, and when I discovered Marvel had a comic series loosely based on my favorite stories with my favorite mythological figure as a villain, I dove in headfirst.

If you find my "mythological" language objectionable, know that I am a pagan who uses the term loosely.

It pisses me off endlessly when people (mostly men; I'm cis female) assume I love Loki because TH is cute. Y'all. When he was announced as Loki's actor, I dug through the internet to find clips of him performing in Othello to judge if I deemed him worthy to play one of my all-time favorite characters.

My initial reaction to JMS's Sigyn-bodied Loki ~2008 was pure joy because I could cosplay a canonically female trickster. (If it happened before that, I haven't seen it, but I accept that lots of people know these things better than me.) I have since done so many, many times.

(it's-a meeee)

I loved the first season of Loki, and added a custom Gator Loki to my cosplay that rests on my shoulder with a hidden harness of magnets.

I've waited for the second to finish releasing so I could binge it all at once because GOOD OMENS SEASON 2 HAS TOTALLY DESTROYED MY ABILITY TO DEAL WITH CLIFFHANGERS.

Now, it's all out. I could watch it. But I kinda can't decide between that or a rewatch of Good Omens for the hundredth time.

IT BETTER NOT END ON A FUCKING CLIFFHANGER I CANNOT

Hold me, Tumblr, I'm nervous. (And traumatized by the Ineffable Divorce.)

Cape has arrived. Do you think it's too much? Does it ruin the vibe? 🤔
