She looks absolutely fantastic, but the clean up afterwards might not have been.

2. Maweezy

3. Unique Sora

4. Lara Lunardi

She is absolutely slaying here and is clearly going to show the amateurs how it is done. She boasts over 200k followers on Instagram and posts some insane content over there.

5. Yoki

Image Source / Instagram @statuesque_yokiYoki here looks absolutely incredible. Many people have had a crack at pulling off Storm in the past, but she is incredibly hard to cosplay as due to her unique appearance, but Yoki pulls it right off. She cannot go wrong with the original comic-book rendition of Storm.

6. Lianne L

Image Source / Instagram @lianne.cosplayGuardians of the Galaxy is one of THE best Marvel films and you cannot convince me otherwise. Check out Lianne here who creates a fantastic portrayal of the hilarious Mantis character. Kudos for Lianne! She may not have the most followers on the list, but is up there with the best.

7. Larissa

Image Source / Instagram @larissa.cosplay_As one of the best women in the Marvel franchise, Pepper Potts becomes a superhero in her own right towards the end, and just take a look at her here cosplayed by the fabulous Larissa. This costume looks incredible and definitely got a few eyes at this Comic-Con.

8. Jenni Emilia

This is definitely one of the more unique cosplayers. I don't know about you, but I love this get up of Jenni Emilia as Pennywise. There's something quite freaky about this cosplay, but equally loveable to. Although not an avid cosplayer, Emilia looks amazing here.

9. Priscilla

Image Source / Instagram @p0ison_
Now this is something else... cosplayer Priscilla slays as an immaculate portrayal of The Punisher. A self-confessed killer, The Punisher is a mastermind who takes down criminals in a beat. Well, you could've convinced me that Priscilla actually played them.

10. CutiePieSensei

Image Source / Instagram @cutiepiesenseiCutiePieSensei gives us everything we need for a female Black Panther boss, this is a character I would love to see in the Marvel universe. With her claws looking like actual weapons, it's hard not to feel jealous of the cosplayer here, as she manages to pull off an amazing look.

11. Laney Jade

Image Source / Instagram @laneyfeniLaney Jade definitely rocks this road with her awesome Superwoman look. Like she's just climbed right out of the Marvel comic, Laney Jade shows her passion and talent of cosplaying and takes to a Comic-Con, but not before getting a snap in the street, just like a real hero!

12. Dids

Image Source / Instagram @didsrainfallSpanish model Dids took to a Comic-Con as the beautiful Sakura. Thanks to her skills as a Ninja, Sakura is the leading protagonist of the Anime, despite starting out as Naruto's love interest. This artist looks like in incredible representation of the character.

13. Chrysta Fett

Image Source / Instagram @chrystafettcosplayChrysta Fett can definitely give Tom Holland a run for his money, and possibly his job. She blesses us with an insane cosplay of Spider-Woman here and completes everything we ever needed from a female Spider counterpart. She really is the perfect Jessica Drew.

14. Danny-Lee Ziser

Image Source / Instagram @dannylyziserAt first glance, you might think this is Wolverine, but any hardcore fan would know that this is his actual clone and eventual adopted daughter, X-23, perfectly cosplayed by the very talented Danny-Lee Ziser. Seriously, she blows us away with this look!

15. CutiePieSensei (Again!)

Image Source / Instagram @cutiepiesenseiAnother incredible one from CutiePieSensei as Spiderman's love interest Black Cat. This cosplay is definitely giving off some major feline energy and has got me wanting to see Black Cat introduced into the Marvel Universe... maybe with CutiePieSensei herself acting!

16. Linda Le

Image Source / Instagram/@vampybitmeThe Vietnamese-American cosplayer Linda Le serves us a gorgeous look here as Mashu Kyrielight, from Grand Order. However, her talents don't just stop here, and she is well known for cosplaying characters from a variety of films, anime series and games too.

17. Jannet

Image Source / Instagram @jannetincosplayNow this one takes the crown - Jannet creates an impeccable look as loveable, unloveable Christmas villain The Grinch. No seriously, Jannet is fabulously talented in her own right and creates a feminine Grinch we never knew we needed... and now we do.

18. AniMia

Image Source / Twitter/@animiaofficialCatapulting as a model in 2001, AniMia has been in the game a long time, and you can definitely tell. Here, she gives us a great cosplay of Tron and serves a unique and creative look. She's managed to creatively combine her passion for modelling and cosplaying.

19. Nenko

Image Source / Instagram @nennenkoCosplayer Nenko has created some amazing, unique looks, but her cosplay as Pudding form Tokyo Mew Mew surely has to be one of her best. Together with Dream Project, Nenko has released her own brand of key chains that every die hard anime fan must own.

20. Reika

Image Source / Instagram @reika_japan_Reika gives us a fantastic gender-bending portrayal of Arthur Pendragon from Fate/Prototype. She has an insane talent for cosplaying the masculine and also creates some of the most detailed and intricate costumes that any cosplayer has showcased before.

21. Aspirina

Image Source / Instagram @aspirinaspraAspirina cosplays Riven from League of Legends to perfection in this photo. She spends hours working on her costumes, wigs and makeup and we can definitely tell, it pays off. Riven is a great swordmaster character to bring to life, just as Aspirina has done here.

22. Yaya Han

Image Source / Instagram @yayahanSelf-taught cosplayer Yaya Han has crafted almost 300 costumes from a variety of animes, comics, films and video games. It looks as though her hard work may have paid off, as we can tell from her incredible portrayal of Raiden Shogun from Genshin Impact.

23. Keondra

Image Source / Instagram @radpeachieKeondra serves an interesting look as Ponyo, the popular Studio Ghibli characters. Ponyo is a spectacular character due to their ability to be human and goldfish. Keondra's portrayal of Ponyo here is one to be admired and takes cosplaying to the next level.

24. Sailor Xtasy

Image Source / Instagram @sailorxtasyCotton Candy Garnet is a wacky and whimsical character from the great Steven Universe show, and is brought to life here by talented Sailor Xtasy. She made sure to include the character's third eye and incredible afro. This cosplay is a sweet one and looks very wholesome.

25. Shirogane-sama

Image Source / Instagram @shirogane_samaShirogane-sama provides us with an exceptional rendition of Harry Potter's Hermione Granger, proving that she must be no muggle. The Granger look is one that is instantly recognised, even beyond the Gryffindor robes. We hope that she cosplays more Hogwarts regulars.

26. Amanda

Image Source / Instagram @amandajustvibinIf you've wanted Disney Encanto, you will know what a pivotal film this is, and will definitely recognise Amanda's spectacular Dolores contribution. I think we can agree that she has put a lot of effort into this cosplay and it has paid off... there's not a detail missed.

27. MabelleCo

Image Source / Instagram @mbellecco93MabelleCo can be seen here cosplaying the mysterious Rei Ayanami from Neon Genesis Evangelion. She also included an upgrade with the curly blue wig, completed with red lenses, ribbon necktie and a school uniform to perfect her cosplay. She is clearly no stranger to this.

28. Princess Mercedes

Image Source / Instagram @mercedesdisneydiaryPrincess Mercedes magically transforms into Tinkerbell here with, what it looks like, ease, but I can image it is not. Beneath the blonde bun, leafy dress and holographic wings, there is a lot of thought and talent that has gone into the look, and it has not gone unnoticed.

29. Liz Katz

Image Source / Instagram @lizkatzofficialRogue is an X-Men character and is accurately portrayed here by Liz Katz. Her cosplay is insane and clearly places Liz as a contender in the next casting of X-Men (if they ever get one). Not to mention her nonchalant, effortless, candid picture in her kitchen.

30. Kay

Image Source / Instagram @paladinofstarsSatirical comedy Disenchantment offers us the amazing character of Princess Bean, and Kay effortlessly brings this character to life. It's clear that Kay has an eye for these things, as bringing a cartoon character into our world is not easy, but shows that it can be done.

31. Kitpupzz

Image Source / Instagram @kitpupzzKitpupzz is an exceptional cosplayers and her true-to-life imitation of the exotic queen of Atlantis just proves it! The cosplayer has clearly paid a lot of attention to the underwater city queen and has replicated the pendant necklace and blue cheek markings to a tee!

32. Delaney

Image Source/ Instagram @delaneytalks_tostatuesCosplay creative Delaney forms her own take on the iconic Aquawoman with this brilliant cosplay. It's clear that this portrayal of Mera would look insane on the arm of Jason Momoa's Aquaman. Delaney looks like she has stepped straight out of the water in this pic.

33. Crystle-Day Villanueva

Image Source/ Instagram @cdayjavuI think it's fair to say that Crystle-Day's cosplay of Hellboy's female counterpart Hellgirl is not to go overlooked on this list. Maybe if the most recent revamp of Hellboy had this dominating Hellgirl as its protagonist the film wouldn't have flopped.

34. Ryoko-Demon and Rei-Doll

Image Source/ Instagram @ryoko_demonWe have a double whammy here with Ryoko-Demon and Rei-Doll absolutely slaying these DC costumes. Cosplaying as the iconic Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn, it's hard to believe that the artists actually made the costumes and their own makeup by hand! Impressive to say the least.

35. Daenerys Targaryen

Image Source/ Getty Images Photo by Ollie MillingtonI think it's fair to say that when this cosplayer turned up EVERYONE know who she was. Dressed from head to toe in Targaryen realness, this creative turned up the standard with her accurate depiction of Khaleesi from Game of Thrones. What an absolute look!

36. Venustea

Image Source/ Instagram @venustea.cosDC fans will be loving this one. Half demon, half human, this cosplayer took it to the max when she portrayed Raven. Also known as Rachel Ross, the superhero sports a velvet hood, purple hair and crazy eyes! I think it's fair to say that the artist smashed it.

37. Spicy Demon

Image Source/ Instagram @meganrandomSamus Aran from Nintendo's 'Metroid' video game was introduced back inn 1986 and still remains one of the most iconic Nintendo lead characters of all time, so naturally Spicy Demon just had to cosplay her. Sporting a blonde wig, helmet and bodysuit, the cosplayer serves us a complete and accurate look of the intergalactic bounty hunter.

38. Lucy Raygo

Image Source/ Instagram @lucythemoonrabbitInspired by magna 'Sailor Moon' back in the 90s, this cosplayer took it to a new level when she became the iconic Sailor Jupiter. Not only are her makeup skills on point, she has done well to resemble a character that might've been stuck back in the 90s.

39. Jessica Rabbit

Image Source/ Getty Images Photo by Araya Doheny
Jessica Rabbit is a staple look and this cosplayer does an insane job modelling it. Giving a mix of Marilyn Monroe and Jessica Rabbit, this creative probably turned heads at the event. Not only is the hair and makeup on point, where did she manage to find such a stunning dress?

40. Mint Choco

Image Source/ Instagram @mint.choco.octo
Cosplayer Mint Choco breaks all gender norms when she cosplays as Ant-Man. Without feminising the characters, she portrays a like-for-like vision of the Ant-Man we all know and love. This cosplayer clearly has experience and has gave a stunning example of Marvel's Ant-Man.
