Cosplay is an art form. Sure, anyone can throw on a costume of their favorite character from pop culture, But some people take the whole thing to the next level. These people spend a lot of time and a lot of money to get their costumes just right. But it's not just about being as close to the original as possible. Sometimes it's all about the idea and execution. I mean, Pulling off a cosplay of mystique caught mid-change, or of the snooty restaurant critic from Ratatouille, is a stroke of genius.
But what I find really funny is how the people who would make fun of cosplay are exactly the same people who would go to a baseball game dressed as their favorite player. Do you really fail to see the resemblance? Anyway, have fun with these 41 amazing cosplayers who took their costume to the absolute next level.
