A talented One Piece fan showed off their impressive fabrication skills by creating Uta's oversized, multicolored jacket.
In a video uploaded on TikTok, popular cosplayer Glory Lamothe takes viewers through the many steps necessary to make the gorgeous singer's signature wardrobe piece, including the pattern-making and multiple instances of embroidery. Uta isn't the first One Piece character Glory Lamothe has brought to life; their TikTok also features several Nico Robin cosplays as well as costumes for Boa Hancock and Yamato.
Uta made her debut in One Piece's story in the franchise's latest film, One Piece Film: Red. The movie sees Monkey D. Luffy and the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates sail to the Island of Music. There, they encounter the pop star, who is revealed to be a childhood friend of Luffy's and the estranged daughter of Red-Haired Shanks. While Uta desires to combat suffering and pain with her beautiful music, her actual plan greatly resembles the goals of none other than Obito and Madara Uchiha from Naruto.
The One Piece Film Is a Massive Hit
Film Red premiered in Japan in August and in most Western markets in November. With an ever-growing box office that has already surpassed 18 billion yen (approximately $180 million), the title is undoubtedly the most profitable One Piece movie so far. More importantly, Film Red currently stands as Japan's highest-grossing film in 2022 and is one of the country's top ten highest-earning movies of all time, alongside anime classics like Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle and Ponyo.
The iconic One Piece manga by Eiichiro Oda first appeared in Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump in 1997. The story follows the young pirate captain Luffy, who dreams of becoming the next King of the Pirates, as he and his crew journey across the Grand Line in search of the titular treasure. Across the manga's over 1,000 chapters, Oda has introduced readers to a plethora of crazy and colorful characters, and Uta isn't the only one who has inspired incredible cosplay. Notably, a couple of cosplays recently brought fan-favorite characters Princess Vivi and Trafalgar D. Water Law, aka The Surgeon of Death, to life in stunning detail.
One Piece fans have more to be excited about than the release of Film Red and incredible cosplays. Several new products based on the pirate series have been released, including Lush's line of One Piece bath bombs and VANS' One Piece apparel collection.
One Piece Film: Red is in theaters now.
