The look
This is the strongest "classic Rhysand" interpretation. Rhysand's signature High Lord appearance is built around an elegant, dark silhouette rather than heavy armor. His clothing is described as an ebony tunic brocaded with gold and silver, dark trousers, and knee- high black boots. A more formal High Lord presentation can also incorporate his crown of stars, especially for throne-room or court imagery. In the novels, the crown reinforces his transformation into the imposing High Lord figure.

Character details
Rhysand should project: Avoid making him look like a generic armored warrior in this version. The High Lord version should feel like someone who doesn't need armor to demonstrate power.

What makes the cosplay read as Rhysand
The strongest combination is: Blue-black hair + violet eyes + tattoos + giant wings + black/gold High Lord clothing + star crown. The wings and tattoos are particularly important because the black fantasy clothing alone could describe almost any Night Court male character.
