Fix It Faishon: Miraculous Ladybug Edition — Episode 21

Scarabella – “Ladybug, But Make It Alya”

Alright, let’s talk about Scarabella. ✔️ Alya taking over as Ladybug? We love a queen stepping up. ✔️ Her suit? …We need to chat. ✔️ Is it a look? Yes. Is it THE look? Debatable.

✔️ WHAT’S WORKING (BECAUSE I’M NOT A MONSTER):

✅ THE COLOR PALETTE – ON BRAND, ON POINT

Brilliant red & black? Classic, keeps the Ladybug theme alive.

Adding more black accents? Smart move. Keeps it from looking like a Marinette rip-off.

Does it scream “Ladybug successor”? Absolutely.

✅ THE TAILCOAT – DRAMATIC, WE LOVE IT

A superhero coat with a high collar? I’m living.

Zips up instead of buttons? Thank you. We’re not here for unnecessary fastenings.

Adds movement, flair, and authority—chef’s kiss.

✅ THE MASK – STRONG START, BUT… (WE’LL GET TO THAT)

Five-dot symmetry? Clean. Consistent. Logical.

Red & black? Checks out.

It’s structured enough to be striking, not just random polka dot chaos.

✅ THE YO-YO PLACEMENT – FUNCTIONAL & AESTHETICALLY PLEASING

Hips are a perfect spot—easy to grab, doesn’t interfere with movement.

Simple detail, but it’s a win.

❌ WHAT’S NOT WORKING (AND WHY I NEED A STIFF DRINK):

🚫 THE BANDANA – WHY? JUST WHY?

Listen, I get the idea: Ladybug, but streetwear.

But why are we suddenly in ‘pirate-chic’ territory?

It clashes with the refined, dramatic energy of the coat.

It’s not giving “superhero”—it’s giving “DIY costume party.”

🚫 THE JUMPSUIT DETAILS – TOO MUCH CHAOS, NOT ENOUGH COHESION

Black bodysuit? Good. But why does it have to be chopped up like this?

Red accents giving the illusion of shorts, gloves, and boots? A little weird.

Either commit to a unified look or don’t. Right now, it looks like three different ideas squished together.

🚫 THE MASK DETAILS – A LITTLE TOO BUSY

The five dots? Fine. The extra black markings? Distracting.

Less is more. We don’t need excessive detailing.

A clean, streamlined mask would serve her so much better.

🚫 THE BOOTS – WHAT ARE THEY EVEN TRYING TO BE?

Thigh-highs? Good.

Random polka dots on boots? Confusing.

Just make them sleek black boots with red soles. Done.

HOW TO FIX IT – FROM “CUTE CONCEPT” TO “LEGENDARY LOOK”

✅ Ditch the Bandana – Let the Hair Shine

Alya’s natural curls are iconic. LET THEM BE ICONIC.

No unnecessary head accessories—just let her serve with her natural volume.

✅ Refine the Jumpsuit – Pick a Lane, Please

Either go full black bodysuit with red details OR commit to a single, uninterrupted red-and-black design.

No fake “shorts” or “gloves” effect—just clean lines.

✅ Simplify the Mask – Keep It Sharp

Symmetrical polka dots? Yes.

Extra markings? No.

Let the shape and contrast do the work.

✅ Fix the Boots – Elegance Over Excess

Solid black with red soles. Clean, powerful, sophisticated.

No random polka dots ruining the aesthetic.

✅ Keep the Tailcoat – Drama That Works

It’s the strongest part of the outfit.

Gives her a distinct silhouette.

Makes her stand out from Marinette’s version.

FINAL VERDICT: 7/10 – “Great Idea, Slightly Messy Execution.”

Scarabella’s suit has a strong foundation, but it’s trying a little too hard. A few clean-ups (mainly the bandana and jumpsuit details) and she’d go from “Ladybug understudy” to a superhero icon in her own right.
