Top Ten Cosplay Costumes From Comics, Games, Sci-Fi, And Star Wars
Comic Con, gaming conventions, and cosplay meetups have given the internet some mighty fine costume work over the years. Some of it is polished. Some of it is chaotic. Some of it looks like it was held together by hope, fabric glue, and three hours of sleep.
Gears of Halo has done the hard yards and gathered the top ten sexiest cosplayers ever. Feel free to agree, disagree, or quietly admit that cosplay people put in more effort than most movie marketing departments.
Supergirl Cosplay
Let's start with the super heroine from next door, Supergirl. The cape, the shield, the red-and-blue colour hit, the whole Kryptonian package. Simple, iconic, and instantly readable.
Bayonetta Cosplay
Then there is Bayonetta. The video game character already looks like she was designed to win cosplay competitions, with the glasses, the black outfit, the attitude, and the weaponised fashion sense.
Wonder Woman Cosplay
Next up is the Amazonian Princess herself. Wonder Woman remains one of the great cosplay characters because the costume has comic-book power built into every piece. Heroic, theatrical, and still one of the strongest looks in DC.
Miranda Lawson From Mass Effect
Here is Mass Effect cosplay of Miranda Lawson. BioWare designed Miranda as a polished Cerberus operative, so the cosplay challenge is all about that clean sci-fi bodysuit look.
Power Girl Cosplay
You cannot really do a list like this without Power Girl. The white costume, red cape, gold details, and superhero confidence make her one of DC’s most recognisable cosplay picks.
Silk Spectre II From Watchmen
While everyone tended to go nuts for Silk Spectre II in the movie version of Watchmen, the cosplay community kept the yellow-and-black suit alive too.
Selvaria Bles From Valkyria Chronicles
Adding a further touch of class is Selvaria Bles from Valkyria Chronicles. Imperial general, anime styling, blue hair, and a costume designed to be noticed from orbit.
Bumblebee Transformers Cosplay
I have thrown in this Bumblebee cosplayer because giant robots can be adorable too. The yellow-and-black Autobot look always reads fast, especially when the costume leans into Bumblebee’s friendly scout energy.
Ivy Valentine From Soul Calibur
Sometimes you just have to go large. That is what happens when you dress as Ivy Valentine from Soul Calibur. The costume physics remain classified.
Princess Leia Bikini Cosplay
The final spot goes to the ultimate classic: Princess Leia in the Return of the Jedi bikini. What would her father Darth Vader say? Or Darth Maul? Probably nothing useful.
Bonus Mermaid Art
And because the post clearly decided to wander off into fantasy art territory, here are two sailing-away mermaid pieces as a bonus.
