Cosplay, Meet Fashion

Cozdayis what happens when the DIY, bootstrap nature of cosplay meets the world of boutique fashion. It’s the work of designer Leetal Platt, and the idea is that she’s selling tailored clothing that, as you can see, combines the influences of both cosplay and clothes people actually wear outside cons. A warning: the stuff is…

Ganon, Kratos, You Sure Look…Different

Angelina Jolie Cosplayer Is A Dead Ringer

It’s impressive how Natalya Blinkova, who from certain angles looks nothing like Angelina Jolie, can use a facial expression and a hairstlye change to suddenly look exactly like Angelina Jolie. Wanted, Maleficent, even Jolie’s weird CG turn in the Beowulf animated flick (which is probably the only shot below where she doesn’t nail the likeness),…

A Whole Army Of Valkyria Chronicles Cosplayers!

Look, even by their own admission, this movie isn’t great. But the movie isn’t the point. The point is that there’s an entire group of fans in the Czech Republic who dedicated themselves to cosplaying Valkyria Chronicles. Which is awesome

We Don’t Stand A Chance Against Cosplaying Kids

Comic-Con 2014 had a lot of great cosplay,but what really stole the show for me was all the adorable kid attendees in their cosplay outfits. It’s almost too much. Patrick (H) Willems has a clip featuring interviews with many of these cosplayers, and it’s a joy to hear them tell us about their costumes. The…

Cosplayers Asked On National TV If They’ve Had Sex In Their Costumes

Well, this is kinda weird. Jimmy Kimmel’s team went to Comic-Con last week, and asked a bunch of cosplayers if they’d ever had sex in their costumes. A funny enough question, I guess, but Kimmel’s tone and the “game show” element seems a bit off. Like, this could have been a cool feature on cosplay,…

No, this isn’t turning into an Attack on Titan subsite. But would it be so terrible if it did? So long as people keep doing awesome AoT cosplay, I’ll keep posting it. Group cosplay by WTF People, photo byPugoffka-sama

Deadpool Tried To Ruin Comic-Con

Of course D Piddy was at Comic-Con. Be sure to stick around for all the video game gags. Metal Gear Solid V’s ashes joke is good, but Ono’s appearance is even better.

Pulp Fiction Cosplay Is Terrifyingly Close To The Real Thing

A cosplayer should never have to physically resemble the character they’re dressed as. But man, if they do, it sure helps. One of the most amazing cosplays at SDCC 2014 [Reddit]
