She’s gone Rogue for sure.
45. Kida
Merrysynth
Atlantis Princess/Queen Kida looks amazing! This is one of those Cosplay outfits where everything has to work just right because there isn’t much to work with in the way of costuming. When that’s the case, Polish cosplayer “Merrysynth” can pull it off. Merrysynth is her Instagram name. Her account shows off her makeup skills and she is incredible. She loves to change contacts often so her eyes may be brown in one picture and blue in the next. You need to see her model lipstick (it’s best to visit her page. You’re welcome).

Seems like these two should collaborate on a Wonder Twins cosplay as much as they team up!
42. She-Hulk
Photographer Jeff Zoet is known for his amazing skills. Take Ginger Kutschbach for example. She is the lean mean green machine in this photo. And while many of the outfits we have seen involve multiple costume parts, that’s not the case here. Ginger just needs a coat of green paint, white t-shirt and distressed jeans because she works out like a beast! Find her one IG, Just search @chief_squat_low.

The topic was “Begin a Professional Cosplayer.” She sat alongside other noteworthy cosplayers like Maki Roll, Lua Stardust and Mikal Mosley. The panel discussed the challenges of negotiating contracts for different conventions because they see you as filler mostly and not real talent. It takes work. As such, many of them have other full time jobs in the real world.
39. Hellgirl
Tanuki-Tinka-Asai
Tanuki Tinka Asai is an amazing cosplayer. Here she is with an incredible gender bend of Hellboy. You can’t see it in the image, but she nailed it, right down to the cloven hoofs. Aside from loads of red paint, Tanuki modified a jacket with leather accessories and made a killer accessory belt! By her own admission, Hellboy is the only comic character she likes, but she has done many other characters too. One of our favorites is her “Winter Ginger” picture series. You can find those on her Facebook page. She puts the Aaaah, and Aaaahmazing!

What’s you opinion on this super-original take on Cat Woman? We saw this at the NYC Comic Con and absolutely had to share it with you. Enjoy! Batgirl up next…
29. Batgirl
Have you ever seen a side by side this epic? Neither have we! Lola V decided to give Batgirl a go and nailed it! She even sports the same yellow kicks as the cartoon batgirl. Fans asked if they were Doc Marten’s and she said no, they were the cheaper Doc Mitchell’s. Also, she had to color them yellow herself! If you want to find more of her, head to Instagram and check search for @lola_v_cosplay. You can link to her personal account from there if you like. Lola V is definitely one of New Zealand’s best!

26. Kitana
Mortal Kombat defined the late 80’s and early ’90s. We stood in line for hours to here, “Finish Him!” We would have stood a lot longer if this real life Kitana were there! Yet, we have to break you heart. This is another costume model for an Etsy store. However, to our surprise, many people who purchased the costume gave awesome reviews and looked amazing as Kitana. The storefront is simply named “Kitana Store”. The creator custom makes every order, down to the silver leggings and wig! The fans complete the look. We would tussle with Kitana any day!
25. Pepper Potts
cyehra
Katharina Kastian is a cosplayer from Germany. She makes amazing outfits and original designs like this all original Pepper Potts/Iron Man costume. It looks so good she could be cast in the next Avengers movie! Her suit is constructed entirely from high density foam (3mm-5mm) and custom painted.

She even has an Etsy store where she sells custom outfits and cosplay accessories.
24. Pennywise
Anyone can own this epic Pennywise costume. It’s made by Polyvore and retails for about $60 dollars. All you need to supply are the paint and pigtails. Oh yeah, and a red balloon. You can’t be Pennywise without a red balloon. And even if you were, hang it up. You would never look as good as this one. She is perfectly terrifying in the cutest sort of way.
23. Samus
Sapphire-Fantasy
This cosplayer lives in Seattle, Washington. We’re not exactly sure how she pulled off a photo shoot with all the rain, but we’re not complaining. Her name is Amanda and she is originally from Canada. She is a proponent of mental health awareness and is a self professed, dancer, raver, traveler, gamer, cosplayer and dreamer. Oh yeah, and she pulls off an epic zero suit Samus.
22. Snow White
hermajestykat
Yes, Snow White cosplay is not too difficult. It’s about a two on a scale of one to ten. Yet, looking good is another story entirely. Thankfully, there is a costume to help. Yep, this is an etsy store special. The wig makes the look and is the accessory most customers rave about. The dress itself is not fully custom, but can be altered as needed rather easily. Going Snow White is always a solid bet.
21. The Bride
So looking like the bride from Kill Bill is not as hard as it looks after all. Just grab this outfit from Sugarpuss clothing online. Total cost is under $150 and the shorts are the best part (you’ll just have to Google search, we run a PG outfit here). The sword is not included, but can be purchased separately. Back to the important stuff though. The lycra stretch banana yellow jacket is sublime. A hard stare from a set of steely eyes seals the deal. This model is the perfect Bride. Just stay out of her way.

19. Captain America
Is this a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader? Nah, just a gender-bent Captain America. Even better, anyone can do this. The costume is a body suit style outfit. Short shorts and white boots complete the look. Oh, and in case you are curious, the full body length costume looks just as styled. Very patriotic, don’t you think?
18. Captain Marvel
OMG cosplay
Isn’t she perfect! She could almost serve as Brie Larson’s double for the next Captain Marvel movie. Known as OMgCosplay, you can find her on Instagram under the same name.

14. Daredevil
This may look like Daredevil Cosplay, but there’s a bit more going on here. The outfit closely resembles Ann Tamaki from the popular video game Persona 5. This would be her “Panther” outfit she wears to live out her double life as a Phantom Thief. Move over Uber, Phantom Thief is the new side hustle! As for the cosplayer, you can find more of heron Patreon under the name “shiroganesama”.
13. Ant-Man
Who knew gender bent Ant-Man was a thing? Wait, most ant are female except for soldier ants so maybe cosplay reddit user Eternal Rose is just restoring the natural order by making a cosplay statement? Too metaphysical and philosophical to think about. So let’s talk about the costume instead. The black is stretch vinyl while the red is a stretch knit fabric. The silver lines are piping from Hobby Lobby while the helmet was a Christmas gift (thought to be purchased from eBay). A few pieces arrived broken from shipping overseas, but superglue made for an easy fix. For a first attempt, Eternal Rose knocked it out of the park!
12. Black Panther
Cutiepiesensei
What an incredible Black Panther cosplay gender bend! It even glows in the dark! Made by @cutiepiesensie (IG), this cosplay is actually not the best one we’ve seen her do.

8. Kim Possible
Lola V
We featured Lola V earlier. Here she pulls off s stunning Kim Possible look alike, right down to the incredible flat stomach you could bounce quarters on. It stands to reason if you are fit enough to play Batgirl you can play Kim Possible. Because let’s be honest, the outfit is rather simple. This is beginner female cosplay 101. However, the physique is another matter entirely. You have to be a certain type of person to pull off a crop top, and Lola V has what it takes!
7. Sakura
DidsRainfall
Simply perfect, down to the Sakura stare. Female Cosplay enthusiast DidsRainfall (same name on Facebook and Instagram) takes pride in her craft. The top is handmade.

She is from Spain and is hands down one of the most impressive cosplayers we have ever seen. She looks incredible in every cosplay costume!
6. Jessica Rabbit
In order to pull off Jessica Rabbit you need the essentials: sequin laden, or shiny, or sparkly skin tight, slinky red dress with gorgeous long red hair to match. Finally, purple gloves are mandatory. They must slide effortlessly over your fingers, turn past your elbow and slide halfway up your arm, gripping your flesh firm. Wait… this is an amazing cosplay description, right? What did you think we were writing? There are forums for that sort of nonsense.
5. Lana Kane
UniqueSora
Here is Unique Sora again stunning us as Lana Kane. Look long and hard at the two photos and you may notice only one discrepancy, the earrings. Cosplayers who do side by side looks pride themselves in trying to replicate the cartoon image EXACTLY. However, Sora makes up for it with the rest of her outfit! Not to mention those gorgeous pink lips. We will take her as Lana Kane any day!
