Miraculous Class Photo — Description

Hey, everyone!
I bet most of you, when reading the last one-shot, wished you could've seen how Marinette and the others looked in their class photo. Well, your wish has come true. This one was based on the photo taken in the season 1 episode "Reflekta", but unlike what happened in the show, this one actually came out okay, without any incidents.
This illustration is partly the reason why I changed the ending of the first season. When I commissioned this to , it was just going to be one more beautiful illustration that I asked her to do for me, to illustrate this AU. But as it slowly came to life, I felt that it would be unfair to her and her work, if I didn't try to elevate it, by creating a short-story around it. That's how the "Miraculous Team: Photo Day" came to be, and how it evolved into the season 1 finale.
When discussing this particular point, she likes to say that the designs of the characters here are as much mine, as they are hers (even though I believe that she should have full credit for them, because I might have had the ideas for it, but she brought them to life. ). Still, I will accept half the credit, because I know she'll hit me on the head, if I don't, xD. Some of the outfits are inspired by clothes that we both found out, while looking for inspiration, while others are inspired by designs made by other artists. For example, Marinette's style and qipao are inspired by an illustration made by dani_smilek. Chloe's outfit is based on her original unused outfit from the MLB pilot (and her sunglasses are based on an illustration also from dani_smilek, where she designed her version of Chloe from Shadybug's world wearing them), and Rose's outfit it based on an outfit worn by Barbie herself.
It's hard for me to decide which one of the members of the Miraculous class looks better, because they all look fantastic. This is truly a photo for the ages. What do you guys think? Do our heroes look like you imagined them while reading the one-shot, or not?
