How to dress as one of the Liella girls (One more time...honest.)

I have some great news for all the Love Live! fans out there: the Liella girls are back! The third season of Love Live! Super Star!! will be coming to NHK ETV on October 6, 2024. In an exciting first for the Love Live! TV anime franchise, this season will bring the girls' adventures to a thrilling conclusion. But first, they'll have to face off against their biggest threat yet: Wien Margarete, the rival school idol who was defeated by Liella! She's transferred to Yuigaoka Girls High with one thing on her mind: revenge! 

I'm so excited to see how this plays out. The Liella girls are sure to give it their all, and I can't wait to see how they handle this intense new challenge. Mark your calendars for October 6th and get ready for the most dramatic season of Love Live! Super Star!! yet!

Anyway, in anticipation of the most dramatic chapter in the Love Live! Super Star!! saga ever told, it's time to teach you how to be one of your favorite Liella girls for one last time. Honest.

Love Live! SuperStar!!
Love Live! SuperStar!!

As Kanon Shibuya - Kanon Shibuya is a humble and free-spirited young girl who aspires to become a school idol. She's the brainchild of the school idol group Liella! Becoming Kanon Shibuya is an easy task. You'll need a semi-long orange hair sized enough to be tweaked to Kanon's style. With that sorted, put on the Yuigaoka Girls High School uniform and you're ready.

As Tang Keke - Hailed from Shanghai, Tang Keke is a close friend of Kanon who has a fistful of ideas. A short sand-colored hair should do the trick but don't forget to put some pink highlights on it and then match the bangs to Keke's style. With that hairstyle done, time to put on the Yuigaoka Girls High School uniform and you're Tang Keke!

As Chisato Arashi - Chisato Arashi is Kanon's childhood friend and a talented dancer who wants to impress Kanon. The long white hair is the starting point for your Chisato Arashi cosplay and to match her hairstyle, you'll need to give it some pigtails and then some round bits on the upper sides. With the hairstyle done and the uniform set, you're now Chisato Arashi.

As Sumire Heanna - Sumire Heanna is a klutzy sassy girl who gets into all sorts of mess easily. Just a long blond hair and a red hairband should do the trick and with the uniform set, you're now Sumire Heanna. Galaxy!

As Ren Hazuki - Ren Hazuki is a conservative type who despises being a school idol at first but a change of heart prompted her to join Liella. Long black hair ponytailed, this is the only thing you'll do if you want to be Ren Hazuki, and with the uniform ready, you're good to go.

As Kinako Sakurakoji - Kinako Sakurakoji may be an absent-minded school girl but she's brimming with excitement. To become Kinako, you'll need long dark brown hair to start with. Then, give the rear part some braids and then finish it with long twin tails. After that, put on the school uniform and you're now Kinako Sakurakoji!

As Mei Yoneme - Mei Yoneme is an aggressive type who's not good at talking about herself. Her connection with Shiki Wakana is a bit complicated. A short red hair should do the trick and then give it some side buns to your left while trying to match Mei's hairstyle. With the hairstyle done and the uniform set, you're now Mei Yoneme.

As Shiki Wakana - Shiki Wakana is a self-proclaimed genius who excels in science. She can be down-to-earth and quiet most of the time but her connection with Mei Yoneme is complicated. A short blue hair is enough to do the trick and with the uniform ready, you're now Shiki Wakana. The lab coat is optional.

As Natsumi Onitsuka - Natsumi Onitsuka is a content creator who is also a smoothie fanatic. To become Natsumi, you'll need long blond hair to work with, then give it some pink gradients, twin tails, and a white flower hair accessory to finish it off. With the hairstyle done and the uniform set, you're now Natsumi Onitsuka. Just get your vlogging gear and your favorite smoothie ready just in case.

As Wien Margarete - Hailing from Austria and enrolled at a prestigious talent academy somewhere, Wien Margarate was once the most powerful rival school idol the Liella girls faced. Having lost to Liella and Kanon remaining undecided over the proposal to study overseas, Wien has no choice...but to transfer to Yuigaoka Girls High School for one purpose; to destroy the Liella girls from within. Being Wien, you must have a long lavender-colored wig. The braids at the top front are slightly challenging to replicate so you need to be delicate and precise to match Wien's hairstyle. With that sorted, Wien Margarete is indebted to you.

As Tomari Onitsuka - Tomari Onitsuka, recently enrolled at Yuigaoka as a first-year, is the sister of Natsumi Onitsuka. She may be different compared to her sister but...could she be the key person to mediate the fresh feud between Liella and Wien Margarete? Being Tomari is a tricky feat because you'll need to find a long turquoise-colored wig to start with. With the wig prepped, you'll need the patience to replicate Tomari's twirly twin tails. It's a big job but if you execute it with no issues, you'll be Tomari Onitsuka in no time.

...and here you go. How to be one of the Liella girls!

Whether you’re a fan of the original five members, the second batch from Season 2, or the recently added two members for Season 3, there’s a Liella girl out there for everyone. I can’t wait to see you try.

Good luck and...OniNatsu!!!
