Lara Croft to Get Two Exclusive Downloadable Outfits on Xbox Live

Canada’s videogame event Festival Arcadia is holding a special “Virtual Fashion” show on November 8 at the Society for Arts and Technology where the worlds of fashion and videogames will converge and cause a rip in the space time continuum. Well, maybe not, but other than the odd gamer T-shirt or other wearables broadcasting to the world your love of all things gaming, fashion and vidoegames usually are not uttered in the same sentence. Times are a changing though, and pixilated heroine Lara Croft will be helping to usher in a brand new eon where all can co-exist peacefully.

On November 8, a Virtually Fashionable evening will feature 10 of Quebec’s best-known designers as they present creations designed specifically for Lara Croft on real-life models as they strut their stuff down the runway. After the show, judges will pick the best one which will be implemented into Lara’s wardrobe as downloadble content after the launch of Tomb Raider: Underworld and the winning designer will take home a cool $3,000. The other creations will be judged by the public and both outfits will be available via Xbox Live for the Xbox 360 version of the game.

So it is quite possible that Lara will be fighting bad guys, crawling through the mud and fighting giant squids in a hot-pink full length sequined gown or something just as odd and maybe even a bit revealing. It just would not be a Lara Croft game if she was not dressed a bit vampy. No word yet on just how much, if anything, these downloadable outfits will cost or how soon they will hit Xbox Live after the game lands November 18, but as soon as we hear something we will be sure to let you know.
