COSTUME GALLERY
1) Bling's first look was a variation of Jim Lee's 1990s revision of the original X-Men training costume. She did variations of it on occasion, with one version exposing her belly and having no sleeves or she would add a brown jacket with a yellow X-Logo on the side similar to Rogue's 1990s jacket. [X-Men (2nd series) #171]
2) Her second look was also depicted inconsistently but generally consisted of black tights with holes in them (from her projectiles), a yellow top with a rounded neck (sometimes with an X-logo across it in a different shade of yellow) a brown bomber jacket (again like Rogue's from the 1990s) with a red x-logo on the sides, a short grey skirt, simple Grey buckle belt and long yellow boots. [X-Men: Legacy Annual #1]
3) During the Battle of the Atom crossover, she wore a variation of her original look, except she a navy/blue jacket with yellow X-logo on the shoulders, again it was rolled up. The “clunkier” parts of the Jim Lee look were removed; her gloves, neckline and boots were all smoothed out. The biggest difference with this look from the first was that she dropped the historical “yellow underwear” element of the original X-Men's look and changed it to stripped pants yellow and blue pants.
4) Bling was often seen in a traditional uniform after the creation of the Jean Grey School for Gifted Youngsters. The uniform tended to fluctuate based on different artist interpretations but generally consisted of a dark (black/grey) blazer, white shirt, cravat/tie and a skirt which could be grey or green. She tended to pair the look with sneakers. [Wolverine and the X-Men (1st series) #1]
5) Bling continued with what was now becoming her trademark: a high collared brown bomber jacket with the sleeves rolled up. Again, it had an X-logo, this time on the chest. She had a black T-shirt with a silver X-logo across it. She also paired grey pants with silver boots that, at the knee, had giant X-logo and they were very evocative of her mentor Gambit's boots from his earliest appearance. He was likely an influence on her fashion choice. She did have an optional hood as well, which she used if they were in areas in which her skin would reflect the light. [Generation X (2nd series) #1]
-) During her time with the “Fallen Angels,” she wore her third look and on Krakoa tended to do variation of her second look, occasional changing the color of elements of it.
6) Her Hellfire Gala look was somewhat more of a departure for her, as it showed far more skin than we are used to with Bling. The dress wrapped around her body with what appeared to be long, chunky bands of her own diamonds. It seems likely she created the dress herself. She paired it with long red laced boots. Despite its impractical look, it neither seemed to inhibit her ability to fight or dance!
