Marvel Approves Of A TikTok Creator's X-Men-Inspired Outfits (For A Good Reason)
Creativity definitely attracts attention, and TikTokers have been dragging eyeballs in and helping to get fans hyped about projects for a few years now. One way these social media users have been standing out is through cosplay, and when someone puts a new twist on the concept, they can get some love from industry titans such as Marvel.
So it goes with @lexwipp, who specializes in creating outfits for those who want to closet cosplay, or wear professional business suits to work that, thanks to color coordination, cut and fits, are secretly a tribute to their favorite characters. The wardrobe choices are sleek and professional — and definitely worth noticing. Whether she's paying tribute to Wolverine with a yellow dress bearing black details or she's sporting a green turtleneck in tribute to Rogue, they're all attractive and well-thought-out sartorial choices.
@lexwipp attracted the attention of Marvel in a big way in 2024. The company replied to her second video of outfits inspired by the "X-Men" movies, TV series, and comics by saying, "[R]eady for battle (aka monday meetings)." The TikToker seemed shocked and pleased by Marvel's sudden appearance in her comments section, replying "MARVEL WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE" with a crying emoji.
But this wasn't the only time @lexwipp got attention for her outfits — as a matter of fact, she's created office wear cosplays for other characters.

She also posts lifestyle videos and advice videos and interacts with her followers when they have questions. She also does traditional cosplay. Some of her videos feature her cat, and many also target millennials. Overall, her account offers well-balanced diet that's irresistible to geeky young women like her.

She also occasionally attends conventions, cosplaying a variety of characters. While 2024 may have been the first time Marvel noticed her, it's clear she has a bright future ahead of her, and might just become the cosplay queen of the TikTok set.
