Whether you’re a video gamer or just love seeing characters in cosplay, there is a good chance you’ve already come across the beautiful Lara Croft! This female heroine was one of the first popular female video-game characters and literally launched the action-adventure gaming genre as the female Indiana Jones.
She’s portrayed here by @enjinight, a cosplayer and costume artist based in Hungary, Budapest. This beautiful cosplayer has almost a million followers and is one of the most popular Instagrammers in her field. Most of her costumes are based on video game characters. We’ve heard from good sources that her photos are responsible for enough gamer drool to fill a football stadium!
Hellgirl
The "Hellboy" franchise didn’t have the smoothest comeback into theaters when they attempted their return with the 2019 box office failure starring David Harbour as the titular character. Perhaps it would have done much better if the film had portrayed this hell-of-a-cosplayer as its main actress.
This perfect portrayal of the hardcore heathen makes us want to keep a horseshoe on our belts. Anything to look THAT cool! Heck, even the sawn-off horns and the hands stay incredibly true to the original design. Is there even a Hell Girl in the comics? We're not so clued up, but if there isn't, there should be now!
Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn
Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy have always been two major threats to the vigilant Batman. The combination of psychotic chaos and seductive nature almost has gotten the Dark Knight into trouble many, many times. The two have worked together often throughout the Batman universe, and make a beautiful duo when portrayed in cosplay.
These costumes were recently done by cosplayers Ryoko-Demon and Rei-Doll, who made their entire costume and makeup up by hand. You can follow them on Instagram at @ryoko_demon and @rei.doll. We sure hope to see this dynamic duo in action at Comic-Con for many, many years to come!
Domino
Domino became a popular female comic book character when she was portrayed by the beautiful Zazie Beetz in the hit Ryan Reynolds film, "Deadpool 2." She ended up being cosplayed by the gorgeous Unique Sora, a fine arts student that loves to portray some of the world's most popular comic book and video game characters.
Her Instagram handle is @uniquesora, which has amassed hundreds of thousands of followers over the years. This cosplayer is also an avid LGBTQ+ supporter and is currently in a relationship with the beautiful @khyvacraft. The two often cosplay together and love kissing as iconic characters from popular films.
Daenerys Targaryen
Daenerys Targaryen immediately became one of the most popular characters worldwide after appearing on the monster-hit show "Game of Thrones." She was portrayed by Emilia Clarke, a relatively unknown actress, that is now a household name. And say what you want about that final season, but there was something so striking about seeing the Mother of Dragons fall from grace.
It's no secret that Khaleesi's final season character arc was certainly...controversial. However, we're pretty sure that "Game of Thrones" fans would find nothing to complain about this cosplayer's Daenerys dress-up. Just looking at her has us watching out for nearby dragons.
