Misa Amane Cosplay from Death Note
Death Note peaked in popularity in the mid-2000s. That's when the original manga and anime series based on it were released. Surprisingly, this fall, several girls immediately remembered Misa Amane, one of the key characters in this story.

Ciri from The Witcher 3 by Katssby
In The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, there was a rather racy scene with Ciri, in which she was steaming in a bathhouse. This scene became the basis for Katssby's cosplay. She has previously portrayed the young witcher in both canonical and fanservice costumes.

During the shoot, we were inspired by oil paintings. We wanted a photo shoot with a medieval aesthetic to differentiate it from other similar works. Interestingly, we also used oil, but for a different purpose — we applied it to my body to give it a beautiful shine.

Emma Frost from Marvel Comics by Miakanayuri
Emma Frost is well known to graphic novel fans, but she's rarely appeared outside of comics. The only thing that comes to mind is the film X-Men: First Class, in which the mutant was one of the main characters. However, Emma is now popular in fan culture, thanks to the team-up action game Marvel Rivals. Miakanayuri cosplayed Miss Frost.

Best cosplay of 2025
Emma Frost from Marvel Comics by Miakanayuri
In The Witcher 3: Hearts of Stone Geralt had the opportunity to spend time with the charming Shani. Unlike our hero's other loves, this girl is not a sorceress, but a doctor. Moreover, the White Wolf dated her both in the book saga and in the first game of the series. However, in Hearts of Stone, the red-haired beauty declared that a long-term relationship between them was impossible. However, this didn't stop her from spending another night with Geralt. Shani's cosplay was done by Dollores. Photographer — Jay.

All the shots are imbued with a warm, summery atmosphere. But in reality, it was cold—the lake was still ice-covered, and the photographer was wearing a winter jacket. Two girls even came up to me and asked if I was cold. I was touched by their concern.

Lauma from Genshin Impact by Oichi
In September, Genshin Impact turned five years old. That's a long time for a game aimed at smartphones. Meanwhile, it still brings in tens of millions of dollars every month for the publisher. The developers at HoYoverse maintain audience interest and regularly add new characters. Recently, the charming Lauma, the messenger of the moon goddess, was added to their list. Mere mortals turn to her for protection or valuable advice. This heroine was brought to life by Oichi.

Lady Maria from Bloodborne: The Old Hunters by Sai Westwood
Many FromSoftware fans are eagerly awaiting the remaster of Bloodborne on PS5 and PC. But more than 10 years have passed since the original's release, and the game remains a PS4 exclusive. In The Old Hunters expansion, one of the most interesting bosses turned out to be Lady Maria from the Astral Clocktower. It was this huntress who inspired Doll, the protagonist's assistant. Sai Westwood cosplayed her.

Are you waiting for the possible Bloodborne remaster?
Fubuki from One Punch Man by Zefirka Natsuki
The third season of the animated series One Punch Man began airing on October 12th. Many viewers criticized the quality of the animation. It got to the point where director Shinpei Nagai couldn't take it anymore and deleted himself from social media. It's worth noting that he had previously actively produced hentai films. But when it comes to serious works, fans' demands are much higher. Zefirka Natsuki cosplayed the superheroine Fubuki, also known as Hell Blizzard.

Vampirella from the comic book series by Sladkoslava
Vampirella is an alien from the planet Drakulon who sides with humanity and fights against her fellow humans. A feature-length film based on this story was released in 1996. Directed by Jim Wynorski, who spent his career making downright trashy films, the result was predictable: scathing reviews and a complete failure. Even the leading actress, Talisa Soto, who had previously played Kitana in Paul W.S. Anderson's Mortal Kombat, couldn't save the film. Meanwhile, Vampirella remains popular among cosplayers. For example, Ilona Bugaeva brought her image to life.

Eva from Stellar Blade by Lada Lyumos
Sony continues to adhere to its strategy of timed exclusivity. Its games are released first on PlayStation, and later on PC. So, Stellar Blade became available to PC owners a year after its PS5 release. And within a couple of days, dozens of mods have appeared online that change the main character's costume to something more revealing. The Eve cosplay was done by Lada Lyumos. Photographer — Kira.

Rumors are circulating online that FromSoftware will release a remaster of this game on current consoles and PC, but this has not yet been officially confirmed. Hidetaka Miyazaki's team is currently working on The Duskbloods, which will be a Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive. The Fire Keeper from Dark Souls 3 was brought to life by Irina Meyer.

Shilonen from Genshin Impact by Ari Anna
Although Genshin Impact is a fantasy game, the game features many modern gadgets and futuristic technologies. For example, catgirl Shilonen rollerskates and uses a DJ set in battle. Her main job, however, is blacksmithing—she crafts custom melee weapons. This beauty was cosplayed by Ari Anna. Photographer — As I See.
