PlatinumGames: ‘Character Design Pt. 3: New Characters, Extras’
I’m going with Bayonetta’s policewoman costume.

Loki
“Designing him had its twists and turns. First he was actually planned to be a girl, but Kamiya saw that and said “…I did that the first game.” So we changed it to a boy.”
Loki’s Cards
“In the actual game you only see him use a few specific ones, but I actually drew an entire set, kind of just because I wanted to.”
Masked Lumen
“Just like Loki, I won’t tell you too much about who he is to avoid spoilers, but I’ll at least say the two concepts that I kept in mind while designing him were “straight lines” and “grace.””
Super Mirror/Couture Bullets
“After acquiring the Super Mirror 2, Bayonetta can become an Umbran Gekka, Policewoman, Schoolgirl… They’re what’d you’d call “unlockable costumes.””
