A few days ago, we reported about Lightning from Final Fantasy XIII appearing as a fashion model in a new advertisement campaign for Louis Vuitton's "Series 4" spring-summer 2016 prêt-à-porter line.

Afterwards, Louis Vuitton Artistic Director Nicolas Ghesquière shared more pictures of the stoic pink-haired heroine on his Instagram account, which you can see above and below.

For the sake of comparison, you can also check out the real life looks at the bottom of the post, directly from the brand's fashion show in October, courtesy of Louis Vuitton's official site.

While I have no doubt that the comment section below will be full of anger from Lightning's very vocal detractors, it's refreshing to see a video game character design celebrated and showcased in the serious (and at times a tad uptight) world of fashion.
