Our Favorite Cosplay Looks From Anime Expo 2024

Holy shit. Look at this absolute unit. Imagine seeing this thing on the show floor? What an incredible build.

Her face card? Never declined.

I had to have someone explain this to me, and I’m glad I have learned about it. This cosplayer looks incredible.

Mad respect to anyone who can wear a one-piece (teehee) that’s got that high of a thigh cut. And to do it with such incredible poise and confidence? That’s mother.

I love when cosplayers take a very-not-hot-character and make them hot.

Guys. The wigs. Look at how incredible the wigs are. This is the kind of hair work that the girls of Ru Paul’s Drag Race would be envious of. This is absolutely incredible work, no notes.

I give credit to anyone who can wear these kinds of eye contacts because I just know they’re uncomfortable as hell.

I love armor-based cosplay, because you can really hone in on some incredible details—the slashes across the helm, the scales running down the chest and the hilt of the blade. This is so gorgeous.

I will always respect someone willing to wear what is essentially several strips of fabric stitched together and then walk around a show floor full of weird dudes.

You better not be a sexy Haunter when I show up!

New sleep paralysis demon just dropped.

This is just pristine. The perfect makeup, the expertly styled wig, the color-matched accessories. This looks like it could be in a movie.

Look at that scary-ass snake! The beautiful flower in her hand! I love props!

This is so, so, so good. Yu Gi Oh!’s Dark Magician, but make him dank. I love weed jokes. I love cosplay. I love them together.

Look at how her wig, makeup, and color panelling on her wings makes her look iridescent. This is so incredibly beautiful.

Ragyo is a character who just screams luxury, and this cosplayer knows exactly how to pull that off.

If this cosplayer walked around with this green LED light they deserve all the awards, what a brilliant way to add even more depth to an incredible costume.

Group cosplays are incredible, but they can often fall victim to a common problem: one cosplayer stands out too much from the others, either because there’s a quality difference or they just didn’t color/fabric match. This is not one of those instances. They all look incredible and cohesive.
