Our Favorite Cosplay From Katsucon 2024

Look at the construction on display here—the feathers the color of a sunset, the galaxy landscape painted on the bodice, the headpiece! This is just pure beauty.

I may not know much about Final Fantasy (I thought Aerith was a goat lady for years), I can say that this cosplay is incredibly well done. The armor looks heavy and real, the wig is laid, the stance impeccable.

I love seeing well-constructed armor, and hoo boy, is this a great eaxmple of that. Tav is wearing the Flawed Helldusk Armor, one of my fave sets in Baldur’s Gate 3, and Shadowheart is in her base armor. These two cosplayers are husband and wife, which makes this even better.

The BookTok girlies were in attendance at Katsucon! This is Nesta, a warrior woman with a cold, hard exterior. The A Court of Throns and Roses book series (or ACOTAR, as fans call it), doesn’t have illustrations, so this is a really cool thing to see at a ‘con as it’s purely interpretive. And it’s beautiful.

Here is your annual reminder that you should go back and play The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine.

I have learned that Korpokkur Kolossus are rideable things. This outfit is rad, but how does this person see?

I do not know what Cookie Run is, but this cosplayer looks divine. The velvet! The beautiful contrasting soft pink and chocolate brown colors! That hat!

Hell. Yes. I love Jin Sakai. I love this cosplay. Look at the details!

Love to see some Lady D representation at conventions—I especially enjoy the slightly different takes on her dress and or clawed gloves. She must be such a fun character to embody!

I’m scared!

I love to see a big, gorgeous train pooling on the ground, and these cosplayers gave me two of them!

This is just breathtaking. I can’t say anything more.

The skimpy Shadowheart lingerie, the cat-girl Astarion fit, the tiefling Tav—this is unhinged, and I love it.

This cosplayer dared to ask: “what if you hunted Totoro and made armor out of his corpse?” Don’t be afraid to ask hard questions, people.

I don’t know who this is, but I respect going to a ‘con double cheeked up.

I am so scared of her, but she is so beautiful. Malenia in a nutshell, am I right?

Chikorita is so effin’ cute and so is this cosplay!

I believe this cosplayer used a drag technique called “brow blocking” to basically erase the end of their eyebrows to change their shape. This is very cool, and it looks flawless. From head-to-toe, this is how you do details right.
