Less Is More: Eve's Most Alluring Outfits

Why Stellar Blade's Most Alluring Outfits Are the Ones That Hide the Most

I’m having a blast with Stellar Blade, the latest action game from Shift Up. As I dive into my second playthrough in New Game Plus, I’m growing even fonder of the combat, the story, and the world. I’m also uncovering more outfits for Eve—many of which wouldn’t look out of place on a high-end fashion Instagram page. The game offers over 70 different outfits, and while plenty are undeniably sexy, some of the most alluring ones are surprisingly modest.

It’s no surprise that this game has been at the center of online debates recently, particularly concerning Eve—a fierce soldier who dominates enemies while turning heads. Some players are up in arms over what they perceive as “censorship” of certain outfits, going so far as to create petitions demanding that Stellar Blade be freed from the supposed grip of prudish restrictions. It’s certainly a perspective, though it’s worth noting that Eve and her wardrobe are already designed to be quite provocative. There’s even an outfit that leaves her practically bare, so those seeking visual appeal won’t be left wanting.

The Allure of the Unseen in Stellar Blade

That said, I’d argue that Eve’s allure is often strongest when she’s more covered. Not because I have anything against nudity or sexuality, but because attraction isn’t just about what’s visible—it’s also about what remains unseen. The right clothing can enhance Eve’s appeal just as much by hinting at what lies beneath as by revealing it outright.

Eve’s character model is based on South Korean model Shin Jae-eun, whose beauty is undeniable. When a game protagonist is crafted with such a striking real-world reference, the results are naturally stunning. It would be easy to dress Eve in anything and still achieve an eye-catching look. Just take a glance at the Stellar Blade subreddit, where players who buy cheap PS5 games rave about which outfits make her the most captivating.

Fashion as Icon: Creating Mystery Over Mayhem

Of course, attraction is subjective, and everyone has their own ideas about what looks best. However, I find that some of the most celebrated outfits fall into overly predictable territory, extremely short skirts, plunging necklines, and tight garments that leave little to the imagination. While undeniably eye-catching, they don’t necessarily elevate her appeal. Sure, provocative attire like a maid outfit can turn up the heat, but when everything is already on display, there’s nothing left to wonder about. Like a well-crafted piece of lingerie, the sexiest outfits tease rather than expose, leaving room for the imagination to play.

Beyond Predictable: Outfits That Tease and Tempt

Keyhole Suit

Take the Keyhole Suit, for instance—a snug mini dress with cutouts on the sides and back, paired with thigh-high boots and long gloves. It doesn’t reveal much skin, yet the way it hugs Eve’s body makes it far more enticing than a completely bare ensemble. Then there’s the Photogenic Suit, featuring a slouchy off-shoulder sweater and form-fitting leather pants. The pants sculpt her figure sexily, offering shape without outright exposure, but it does not stop us from appreciating her, while the loose sweater keeps things playful, making you wonder what’s underneath. The subtle mystery adds to its appeal.

Moutain Peony Suit

Another standout is the Moutan Peony Suit, a cheongsam-inspired dress (also known as qipao) with a triangular cutout above the chest and sheer tights. The dress contours her waist beautifully, and the slightly transparent tights offer just enough of a glimpse to be alluring without making her seem like mere eye candy.

Orca Exploration Suit

But my favorite—my go-to during my first playthrough—was the Orca Exploration Suit. This outfit is all about strategic cutouts, with sections over the chest, waist, and hips covered in transparent material, creating an intriguing interplay of concealment and exposure that transforms an otherwise traditional/conservative mandarin gown into a very tempting one. It’s the perfect balance of an outfit that reveals just enough to spark curiosity, but at the same time maintains an air of mystique, giving its inspiration/origin.

Strategic Concealment: The Art of the Reveal

It reminds me of classic centerfolds from Playboy or sultry photoshoots where models artfully obscure parts of their bodies, allowing the viewer’s mind to fill in the gaps. True sex appeal isn’t just about nakedness—it’s about suggestion, anticipation, and imagination. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines “sexy” as both “sexually suggestive or stimulating” and “erotic.” While nudity can certainly be stimulating, it lacks that suggestive quality. If full exposure is all you’re after, well, there’s always explicit content elsewhere. But for me, Eve’s most captivating moments come when her outfits enhance her natural allure through subtlety rather than overt display.

Holiday Rabbit Suit

That’s not to say Eve isn’t attractive in more revealing ensembles. The Holiday Rabbit Suit, with its skin-tight bodysuit, bunny tail, and playful ears, is undeniably striking. Seeing so much bare skin is definitely thrilling, but it doesn’t have the same sensual impact as the outfits that leave more to the imagination. When everything is visible at once, the intrigue is lost. I’d rather Eve wear something that allows for a bit of mystery, where fashion becomes a tool to amplify her appeal rather than just put it on full display. Her best outfits understand this balance, transforming her inherent beauty into something truly unforgettable.

Cyber Magician Suit

The Cyber Magician Suit, however, takes a more elegant and whimsical approach. This garment available in Stellar Blade is bold and asymmetrically designed with illuminated patterns that draw attention not only to how Eve wears it but also to the sheer energy it radiates. It manages to exude skin-showing cut features too, but the layers of textures juxtaposed with glowing accents ensure that it never feels like it’s trying too hard. This suit makes a clearly sexual statement as stunned onlookers perceive more of Eve’s sight than just eye candy - she’s a different kind of force to be reckoned with.

Blue Monsoon Suit

The Blue Monsoon Suit, on the other hand, flows with the streamlined aquatic look. Shimmering fabric with stylish cuts makes it look like a wetsuit made for action, as it contours Eve’s figure, while being effortlessly sophisticated. Unlike some of the outfits with seductive intentions, this one is strategically crafted with supple transparency and layered textures to create mystery, rather than showcase flesh. Such outfits suggest that our heroine possesses both strength and elegance and reinforce the idea that she needs to do everything to get attention and stamp a memory in your mind.

Planet Diving Suit

At last, the Planet Diving Suit is nothing short of breathtaking when it comes to sci-fi-inspired beauty. This particular bodysuit has a tight fit, form-fitting, and comes in a deep metallic color with some kind of faint glowing details that give it a magnetic appeal. While the suit is definitely tight, its design makes it devoid of simply being about exposure. The cutouts paired with the advanced materials are strategically placed to achieve a feeling of moderation in eroticism, showcasing that Eve is not just an entertainment figure - she is a fighter who's ready to plunge into the depths of the unknown with attitude. This perfectly illustrates how the most sophisticated garments in Stellar Blade not only hide Eve’s sculptured body but also completely conceal it and create an icon instead of a fantasy puppet.
