We’re getting into some of the bigger names as this list winds down. While every cosplayer on this list has done well for themselves in their own right, none have quite had the same amount of success that Alodia Gosiengfiao has had. The Filipina actress and model has made her mark on the cosplay community as well as several other entertainment industries.

Now retired from cosplay, Adrianne Curry was once one of the best around. Video game charters, anime or comics, whatever it was she got her character down perfectly. It wasn’t all about looking good either. She did her best in properly capturing what a character really felt like along with how they looked. Adrianne is of Italian descent and puts those great European looks to good use with her modeling.

The first thing you’ll notice here – aside from Megan’s fantastic looks – is the high attention to detail and impressive production value of this shot. Cosplaying is a pretty fun hobby for a lot of people, and you can really tell how passionate someone is by examining just how much work they put into their costume. But then you get high-level cosplay like this, and it completely blows anything you’ve seen before out of the water. This is on a level of its own. Megan looks rough and rugged and sells the character perfectly. This is by far the best Anya Stroud cosplay you’ll find, and Megan is among the most attractive cosplayers out there right now

Here we come across one of the more experienced cosplayers on the list. Yaya Han has been doing this cosplay thing for a long time. Yaya’s currently pushing 40, which might surprise most of you seeing as she looks like she’s still in her 20’s. In the cosplay community, Yaya’s a pretty well-known name, and she’s cosplayed as a number of well-known, beloved characters. You know you’ve made it big when some bored shmuck takes the time to make you a Wikipedia page. She got into cosplay nearly two decades ago, making her one of the early pioneers to popularize it in the West. With ladies like her leading the charge, how couldn’t it catch on?

While this list features some pretty experienced veterans, Vera is someone who’s steadily been rising in the cosplay world. The fiery Australian started off back in 2006 and has been a steady presence in the community since her debut. She does a number of characters, from anime to games and comics. But her video game character cosplay is really what makes her stand out among her fellow cosplayers. From Ada Wong, Elizabeth and Yuna, Vera’s pulled off some great looking cosplays. But she came into her own after portraying

You have to be versatile as a professional cosplayer, that’s a given. But Kara here can do just about everything you can think of as a cosplayer. She has her fair share of fan-pleasing outfits sure, but ultimately the most impressive part of her cosplays is the amount of work and detail that goes into each costume. From the smallest prop to her hair itself, she gets a handle on her character with ease.

Canadian women are well known for their beauty. While the Canadian representation is low on this list, we’re going to remedy that a little bit with the inclusion of Marie-Claude Bourbonnais. The French Canadian beauty has been around the cosplay scene for a number of years now and has made an impression at numerous conventions. With numerous magazine appearances, her own website and original merchandise under her belt, Marie-Claude has definitely taken advantage of her popularity among cosplay fans.

Stella Chuu is a bit of a unique case on this list. She’s definitely beautiful and incredibly talented when it comes to cosplaying, but there’s something that differentiates her particular brand of cosplay from all the others you’re going to see on this list. What Stella does is referred to as Burlesque Cosplay. You can put the pieces together in your head, yeah? Take an already skimpy getup and bring that down a peg or two, and you more or less have an understanding of what the name entails.

Here we come across a lesser known cosplayer, but a beauty nonetheless. Mary or SuperMaryFace (as she’s known on YouTube) is an internet personality that got her start modeling. That eventually turned into cosplay, and she’s done a number of video game and comic related material throughout her career. Mary is perhaps best known as the wife of fellow YouTuber CinnamonToastKen. The two tend to keep their careers separate but appear on each other’s channels from time to time. Mary can pull off a number of different looks, and as you can see from her Lara Croft cosplay, she puts a good deal of effort in doing so. She’s currently expecting her first child so expect her to be absent from the scene for a while.
