Milana Tucker's dark blue and silver-toned costume might not be what Disney fans think of when it comes to Tinkerbell (who is normally outfitted in green), but it was a timely nod to Disneyland's Diamond Celebration. She could hardly walk 10 feet without being stopped by fans asking her to pose for photos last weekend at the D23 Expo in Anaheim.

Tucker's costume was designed and crafted by her mother, Talina Lindsey. Encrusted with more than 4,000 Swarovski crystals, the outfit pays tribute to some of Disneyland's most popular attractions and landmarks, including Space Mountain, Big Thunder Railroad, and the statue of Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse.

Lindsey told ABC they wanted this year's cosplay to celebrate the park's 60th anniversary and they chose Tinkerbell as the character inspiration because they consider the pixie to be Disneyland's unofficial mascot.

This is not the first time the mother-daughter duo has shown off their creative Disney flair. Two years ago they won the award for original design at the D23 Heroes and Villains a la Mode Costume Contest for their "Disneyland Protagonista" cosplay -- a ball gown featuring some of Disney's kindest and most notorious characters.
