On 30th April 2025, we made lots of exciting announcements, one of which was the winners for this year’s Outfit Design Competition! Among 90 impressive design entries were 5 which stood out to me in uniqueness, on-brandedness, likeliness to be used often and most feasible to create into a model. All submissions can also be found in our art gallery of 2025!
With those factors in mind, here are the top 5!
1st place – @yuntaumeow
When I first saw this entry, I found myself admiring all 3 outfits for a long time. Each outfit felt like something I would wear and it was incredibly hard to decide even among just these 3. The final first place design goes to the idol outfit, which is something I haven’t seen on Hime before!
The dynamic bows, subtly incorporated bunny motifs and details such as the little flares of the hair and bunny boots were too cute to resist! I can’t wait to see how this design can be brought to life~!
Thank you Yuntaumeow for the amazing entry!

2nd Place – @365RORI
RORI conceptualized 3 different designs in their initial entry too! They were all a joy to behold, please check them out here! Out of the 3, the one that stood out to me was Hime of Becoming — an adventurer themed design with big hair and a giant backpack! There were many patterns, details, and textures used, but they all married perfectly to give an air of an iseakai-ed version of Hime.
One who retained a royal status, but also a sprinkle of silliness. I loved the idea of using this in future exploration/adventure games. So it was awarded 2nd place. Thank you RORI for your thoughtful entry!
Runner ups – @Ccarrot_8, @omufumiko and @victorpaged
There are so many more designs I want to mention, but it would be too lengthy to write out all my thoughts >< I will elaborate briefly on the runner ups, but for the rest of the entries, please check out the showcase stream where I went through them one by one! Each runner up will also receive a cash prize.
03imugi’s design incorporated many elements of my existing default model with some amendments! For example, the pigtails are extended to reach the floor, the neckpiece and structure of the bosom area is similar, and sleeves are reminiscent of existing default Hime, but the changes are transformative and makes it its own unique design! The individual pieces excited me in this outfit, such as the pink bunny headphones, floating crown, tamagotchi sling bag and big mecha boots. This design seems like it would be super fun to add animations to! Thank you imugi!
Omu’s design is super cute and unique! It took me a while to register all the details, but once I did I could not get them out of my mind. From the big parachute collar reminiscent of a Victorian collar, to the sheer train added to the skirt and puffy sleeves, each thoughtful element enhanced the theme and made it even more special. This outfit if made into a model would allow for some very fun toggles! Thank you Omu!
Victor submitted 3 designs which you can check out in his submission post! The Y2K outfit provided a unique silhouette while retaining the 2 pigtails usually found on Hime. It had the potential to add on more for layering, and has details such as a candy necklace, tamagotchi and elbow pad to add to the youthful fit. I pictured this design would be a fun one to don if we were going to be more rough around the edges during a stream, so it was refreshing to see! For more work Victor has done of Hime in the past, check out the art gallery of 2022-2024! He has a special segment there. Thank you so much, Victor!
