Disney Princesses As Disney Princesses

Not dudes. Not Game of Thrones characters. Not a pile of rocks. Just…princesses. What a novel concept. Who knows if it will ever catch on. Photos by Saffels. Cosplay by Traci Hines (Ariel), Courtoon (Cindarella, Rapunzel), LifeofShel (Snow White & Anna), Hendo Art (Pocahontas) and Maid of Might Cosplay (Elsa). If you dig what you…

Cosplayer Hired To Make Prop For New Ghostbusters Movie

When the team behind the new Ghostbusters movie needed something for the movie made within a week, they turned to cosplayer and props maker Shawn Thorsson to get it done. That something was the silver ghost hood ornament found on Ecto-1, which actually gets some pretty prominent screen time. You’d think that because of that…

Some Of Comic-Con 2016’s Best Cosplay

Now that 2016’s San Diego Comic-Con is in the books, it’s time to look back at what’s probably cosplay’s biggest event of the year. Because it’s so big, and because posting an image gallery on a website couldn’t hope to include even a fraction of those present, here’s a 7-minute video instead. It was shot…

There There, Team Instinct, It’s Going To Be OK

While Pokémon Go cosplay was at first restricted to just the trainers, since we hadn’t got a proper look at the team leader outfits, now that we know Blanche is a runaway Fire Emblem charactercosplayer’s options can expand a little.

We see a lot of cosplay videos trying to make music, but here’s a music video that’s doing Zelda cosplay. And a lot of it.

Woman Cosplays To Work To Beat Stupid Dress Code

Cosplayer June Rivas was told by her boss that her work attire was “unprofessional”. Good thing she had a fix for that. Yahoo reportsthat Rivas’ employer told her that “wearing her hair in a ponytail or donning a head scarf was unprofessional” (pictured, top), despite the unnamed company’s dress code simply stating that employee’s clothing…

Chrono Trigger Cosplay!

What’s this? Chrono Trigger cosplay? Oh, what a lovely day. This Lucca Ashtear outfit is by Jelfish, and took more work than you might think. Being cosplay based on classic Square character art (with the in-game character being just a few pixels), Lucca’s design was all over the place; the helmet, for example, had to…

A reminder that in the real world deodorant is not an effective means of combating sexual assault

Bringing The Legend Of Zelda To Life Through Cosplay

Layze Michelle is a Brazilian cosplayer and big Zelda fan who has made a habit of creating some incredible cosplay based on Nintendo’s series. Not only has she cosplayed as several iterations of Princess Zelda herself, but also—be still my heart—the real star of Wind Waker, Medli the Rito. You can see more of Layze’s…

Oh, This Is Some Excellent Cosplay

Andreas Krupa, aka eosAndy, is a cosplay photographer from Germany. His work is fantastic Not that the cosplay here isn’t incredible by itself! Some of the world’s best, like Maul, are pictured here doing their thing in costumes that look like they walked right out of a video game. It’s just that on top of…

The Fungus Among Us

Been a while since we had some good Last of Us cosplay here, so let’s fix that with this terrifying clicker outfit by jaydubtog I like how the single eye hole is both practical and scary as fuck

Cosplaying Overwatch play of the game animations? This is new. That’s Qpaxas Mei. David Gibson, meanwhile, was an animator on the game, whose Overwatch work we’ve featured on Fine Art

Embrace Tranquility. And Also This Overwatch Cosplay.

Shellshocked’s choice of Overwatch cosplay needed a little more work than most other characters, but it was all very much worth it. We actually featured this costume in our “Best of” roundup, but I figured it was worth its own showcase here given how impressive it is (and the chance to show some more shots…

Who You Gonna Call?

Cosplayers Alodia Gosiengfiao, Leny Ming, Daph Cortes and Izabel Cortez all put their spin on Ghostbusters. While this is part of the film’s marketing push, they all did make some nice costumes and Jionor Verona did snap some nice photos. This Ghostbusters Jeepney is pretty great, too.
