Costume designer Lila Kwon deliberately juxtaposed high‑tech armor with traditional textiles (e.g., hand‑woven Senegalese patterns) to signal Ally’s liminal identity. The “cracked” motif—visible in the shattered glass that frames many of her close‑up shots—operates as a visual metaphor for both the fractured city and the fractures within Ally herself. | Name | Role on District 13 |

In stark contrast to Belle’s flow, Cyril Raffaelli brought structured violence. While Belle was escaping, Raffaelli was engaging. Raffaelli’s were about style and impact.

The "cracked" brilliance of Raffaelli’s contribution is his integration of Gun Fu (a style popularized by John Woo) with traditional French kickboxing (Savate). Behind the scenes, Raffaelli was the professional stuntman—the technician. He understood camera angles and timing in a way Belle was still learning. The famous scene in the casino, where Raffaelli fights his way through a room while protecting a Van Gogh painting, showcases his ability to make complex choreography look improvised. Where Belle’s stunts were about efficiency, Raffaelli’s were about style and impact.
