Anthony Misiano No 1 Male Cosplayer
Harley’s Joker is Anthony Misiano, “a nerd with a malicious smile and a considerable measure of drive to create,” as per his Facebook page.
Clearly, his most loved character is the conventional Joker: the one with the purple stick striped suit, green hair, white cosmetics, and the greatest (if terrifying) grin.
His outfit and depiction of The Joker are so persuading, it’s difficult to separate him from the one in the movies. His better half, Alyssa, also known by her cosplay name Joker’s Harley, is quickly ending up nearly as popular as Misiano, with more than 96,000 Facebook followers.
Leon Chiro No 2
Leon Chiro is an Italian Cosplay craftsman who has developed a strong fan base throughout the years.
He’s known for joining characters in hybrid outfits and for his astonishing renditions of ensembles from Assassin’s Creed and Prince of Persia.
Chiro to plans his ensembles and manufactures props with a devoted energy, aided by his extremely solid figure. When he’s not Cosplaying, Chiro is a model and
Mark Meer No 3
Not only does Mark Meer plan and create astounding outfits, he also works as a voice actor for video games like Mass Effect.
One day he’s loaning his voice to Commander Shepard; the next he might actually be Commander Shepard. Meer hails from Edmonton, Canada, where he runs his own TV program, Tiny Plastic Men, a hilarious comedy series about toy testers.
Steven K. Smith No 4
KSPROPS has proven to be a global force in the Cosplay world.
Steven K. Smith Props makes his living as a chief Cosplay craftsman and prop producer in Kansas City, Missouri. He has loved computer games for many years, and started to take amusements to a radical new level by recreating his favorite characters’ outfits, most prominently Borderlands Psycho Bandit veils and Buzz Axes.
Danquish No 5 Top Male Cosplayer
Danquish is amazing at Cosplay, from costumes to sick poses. He breathes new life into the characters he dresses up as.
With a very large (and growing) following, we are excited to see what he does next in the following years.
Danquish was born in Canada, but lives in Seattle, Washington. He began costuming and prop work when he was very young, and now prefers to Cosplay ninja and armored characters.
Top Female Cosplayers
Jessica Nigri No 1 Female Cosplayer
Obviously, the biggest name in cosplaying right now is the very lovely Jessica Nigri. She’s appeared in movies, television shows, commercials, music videos and even a game. It’s pretty obvious that she’s well received by the community and her fans as well. Jessica is only in her early 20’s, yet she’s managed to become a well-known name in pop culture. Obviously, her incredible looks play a part in that but so do her impressive cosplays. Jessica does everything from video game characters to anime characters, and she’s recently taken to some Pokémon cosplays that might cause you to re-evaluate your childhood. But regardless, Jessica is and probably will be the best-looking cosplayer in the world for a good while.
Alodia Gosiengfiao No 2
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.
Aside from being a successful cosplayer, Alodia has also put together a decent film and television career for herself along with a small singing career to boot. Looking at this picture, it isn’t too hard to see why she’s regarded as one of the best-looking women cosplaying has to offer. She can only get more successful from here on out.
Adrianne Curry No 3
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.
She actually won the very first season of America’s Next Top Model and has posed for some of the most popular magazines in the world. She looks about ready to go for the kill in this Mileena cosplay which only goes to show how great she is at selling it
Megan Marie No 4
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
Yaya Han No 5
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?
Vera Chimera No 6
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
Electric Lady No 7
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.
Here we see her cosplaying as Persona 3’s Elizabeth, and she gets the character down 100%. As you can see, everything from the dress to the hat, glove,\s, and hair looks just like the original. If you’re a fan of beautiful women and good quality cosplay, then check Electric Lady out.
Marie-Claude Bourbonnais no 8
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.
She’s known for pulling off some racy characters and does everything from video game character to anime and comic book ones as well. Because of her body type, she’s able to cosplay as some of the more visibly exaggerated women cosplaying has to offer, but that’s played well in her favor so far.
Stella Chuu No 9
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.
Apart from that, Stella is a pretty cool person. She’s a regular geek and so she obviously really enjoys what she does. It seems that the feeling is mutual between her and the community as she’s got plenty of fans to support her.
SuperMaryFace No 10
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.

Top USA Comic Cons
San-Diego USA Comic-Con No 1
This is the big one. San Diego Comic-Con, also known as Comic-Con International, is the gold standard by all other conventions are measured. It's nearly fifty years old, and it's not just become the biggest show for breaking comic book news, but one of the first places movie and television studios go to make big announcements.

Heroes Con No 3
Based in Charlotte, NC, HeroesCon traditionally goes on around Father's Day Weekend. Sometimes it does vary a bit, but at least in 2020, the tradition holds. It's also one of the last big conventions to focus entirely on comic books. The Artists Alley is immense, taking up about half of the space. of the one giant hall that hosts the convention.
Some of the highlights are quickdraw contests, the art auction, and an artist's stage where various artists in attendance work publicly on artwork. HeroesCon boasts some after-hours events, some benefiting charities like Team Cul-de-Sac. For a weekend devoted to an unbridled love of comics, HeroesCon must be included on any fan's pilgrimage.

Dragon Con No 5
The big event that sets Dragoncon apart is the parade. Cosplayers and guests march up Peachtree Street in Atlanta Georgia. While the five-day convention is Labor Day weekend, the registration for the parade closes months ahead of time. Dragon Con is so expansive in its coverage that it takes place in several locations around downtown Atlanta.
It had its share of controversy in the past, as a co-founder of the convention was convicted of child molestation. He was bought out in 2013, so there is no DragonCon connection there any longer. As an immense convention, attendees should expect lines, even with pre-registration. Dragoncon features multiple tracks include skeptics, writers, puppetry, and horror. There's a little something for everyone at this southern convention.
