Because it's spiked instead of plain?

Because it doesn't match the rest of the Slave Leia outfit.

I bet if someone photoshopped this as a new upcoming D+ show it could muster up enough republican outrage to be hilarious.

He had a chain collar on when Leia tried to fake-sell him to Jabba. She pretended to be the bounty hunter Boushh and even had him on a chain lead connected to the collar.

It also appears he's missing the top as well.

"Missing" implies that it should be there. It's better this way.

Sure, and Han Solo would not expose his midriff. Both costumes are alluding to the original outfits, but more scantily clad. I'd opt for putting the dude in strappy gladiator sandals, but the cosplayers' choices are fine.

To go for authenticity, yes, I am indeed implying it should be there.

Eh, maybe to you. I would state not adhering to the outfits as they were originally when gender swapping the people donning them is a failed opportunity and just reinforces certain gender standards (i.e., "okay" for "men" to be topless but not for "women," "okay"/"natural" for "women" to expose midriff but not for "men").

Not criticizing them taking artistic liberties. Just stating it's a failed opportunity. Like if they gender swapped a male knight character in full plate armor to be a female knight character in bikini armor (or vice versa).

Then feel free to take it as such. It just seems like they went the route of gender swapping but then missed the opportunity to stop reinforcing gender stereotypes/standards. All the power to them, but it just seems like wasted potential to make a point.

You could argue that the deviations from the original costumes are what make it a gender swap and not just a sex swap. It's not just a male Leia, it's a masculine version of the character. It's also where the artistry in the cosplay and photoshoot comes in. Not saying it doesn't reinforce or play into gender norms, but I'm not sure it's all black and white there.
