This ensemble portrays a simple student look adorned with light colours, symbolising his freshness, excitement, and innocence. The second costume marks a pivotal moment in Tao's transformation. After venturing into a drag queen bar and embracing himself, he becomes the queen he was always want to be. This outfit reflects the majestic and extravagant essence of a drag queen, celebrating Tao's empowerment and self-acceptance. The costume radiates confidence, capturing the essence of Tao's newfound identity and his courageous journey in accepting and expressing his authentic self. Together, these costumes tell a powerful tale of self-discovery, acceptance, and the beauty of being loved for one's true essence. They encapsulate the evolution of Tao's character, representing his metamorphosis from an uncertain and innocent soul to a vibrant, self-assured and wholeheartedly human being.
