Top 20 Cosplays That Are Far Better Than the Originals

Cosplayers used to be viewed as nerds who dressed up in some weird clothes, but today the cosplay business is up there with haute couture fashion. And if you want to promote your game, book, movie or a comic, there’s no better ad than scantily-clad women parading at some relevant event like Comic-Con or PAX, or SXSW. If you’ve ever been to any of these events, you’ve seen hundreds of fabulous cosplayers running around. Some costumes look cheap, while others, it feels like, took ages to make and actually look much better than the source material.
