Jean Grey's New Costume Inspired By Her Marvelous Hellfire Gala Look
Numerous X-Men received new costumes for the huge Hellfire Gala event last year, including Jean Grey. Jean Grey has had numerous uniforms and outfits during her fifty-nine-year history in Marvel Comics. This one might be one of her most stunning — as well as one of very few Hellfire Gala outfits that have managed to stick around beyond that evening.
The inaugural Hellfire Gala was a five-week X-Men crossover comic event from Marvel throughout June 2021. It spanned fourteen issues and featured the reveal of the newest X-Men team. Marvel has since announced that this year there will be another Hellfire Gala, which will also be held in June. There are likely to be new outfits and it will be interesting to see if any will be popular enough and designed in a way that allows them to remain as official X-Men uniforms.

On Twitter, comic artist Russell Dauterman shared a closer look at Jean Grey's current costume. It uses her Hellfire Gala outfit as a base and makes adjustments to emphasize practicality for battle. The Tweet from Dauterman includes the model sheet for Jean, including additional looks at her gloves, shoes, and headpiece. This was one of the most stunning outfits at the Hellfire Gala, so it's great to see it actually get some use in the field.
