One Piece Film Red was released in 2022 and quickly surpassed all the franchise's box-office records. Centered on Uta, the adopted daughter of Red-Haired Shanks and a singer with phenomenal talent, the film introduced one of the most distinctive characters in the One Piece universe, with a unique design and exceptional music. It also gave fans a deeper look into the mystery surrounding Shanks — the most enigmatic Yonko. In this guide, we present our selection of Film Red cosplay outfits and accessories to bring these two characters to life perfectly.
One Piece Film Red: The Story and Characters
Film Red takes place in an unprecedented setting: the Straw Hat crew attends a concert by Uta, a famous singer whom Luffy recognizes from his childhood. Once a playmate on Shanks's island before he left her behind, Uta carries a deep wound and immense power linked to the Uta Uta no Mi Devil Fruit — which allows her to transport people into a world created by her music.
The film is a poignant reflection on abandonment, loneliness, and the power of music. For Shanks fans, it finally provides concrete details about his past and motivations. For new fans, it is an excellent gateway into the One Piece universe, with spectacular action scenes and an exceptional soundtrack performed by Ado.
The Shanks Film Red Coat: The Yonko in Full Attire
In One Piece Film Red, Red-Haired Shanks makes a grand appearance, sporting a look that is slightly different from his usual style. His iconic coat — the one that has defined the character's aesthetic since his first appearances — is shown here in all its majesty. Recreating Shanks's cosplay means embodying the aura of one of the most powerful and feared figures on the seas.
Shanks's coat stands out with its elegant lines and distinctive color. It is the garment that completes the instantly recognizable silhouette of the red-haired Yonko. Worn with the right accessories, it transforms anyone into a legendary pirate in seconds. To take this cosplay further, read our full article on Red-Haired Shanks and His Mysteries.

Why Film Red Revolutionized the One Piece Universe
One Piece Film Red was enthusiastically received for several reasons. First, it places Shanks at the center of the plot, a character who usually remains in the background of the main series despite his crucial importance. It also introduces Uta, a new character whose emotional depth matches that of the manga's best characters.
Music plays a central role in the film, with original songs performed by Ado — one of the most-listened-to Japanese singers of the current generation. Tracks such as Fleeting Lullaby and Tot Musica have become anthems for the global One Piece community. The film was also praised for its technical direction and some of the most spectacular action scenes in the franchise.
Tips for a Successful Film Red Cosplay
Cosplaying Shanks
The key element to a successful Shanks Film Red cosplay is the coat. Add a red-haired wig, hide your left arm inside the sleeve (Shanks lost his left arm while saving Luffy), and you're all set. For the details, refer to our article on Red-Haired Shanks, which describes his appearance in detail.
Cosplaying Uta
Uta's cosplay is more complex and involves elaborate makeup to recreate her distinctive features. The outfit is included in our Film Red costume, but add hair accessories to reference her two-tone locks. Uta-inspired makeup is covered in numerous tutorials available on YouTube for fans.
Shanks + Uta Duo at a Convention
A Shanks / Uta duo is one of the most recognizable and beloved cosplay combinations since the film's release. If you are two friends or family members cosplaying together, it is the ideal duo for evoking the touching adoptive father-daughter relationship at the heart of the film.
