Disney princess cosplays are no cakewalks - in spite of thousands of references and Instagram hashtags, there are always new ways to perk up a Snow White or an Elsa costume. Every cosplayer puts their own spin on their favorite Disney princess and has personal reasons for connecting with a specific character.
With so many new live-action Disney movies, Disney princess cosplaying is now a lot more interesting. Who wouldn’t want to look like Emma Watson’s Belle or Lily James’ Cinderella? But which are the most stunning and interesting Disney princess cosplays around? Let’s find out!
10 Ariel
Gen-Z Disney princesses have an impeccable sense of humor, like cosplayer Brulee, whose Instagram is getting a lot of love for her quarantine-ready cosplays. Her Ariel, for instance, has great style. She has a seashell top and matching shell face mask, and green gloves that go with her green mermaid tail.
This cosplayer always puts a lot of effort into all her costumes and they are pretty extensively detailed. The color symmetry really works for her look, and she’s obviously really conscious about the coordination. Her Ariel costume is absolutely stunning, possibly one of the best Ariel costumes ever!
9 Cinderella
Now that Disney owns Lucasfilm, a Jedi princess may just be on its way. Cosplayer Avera puta her own empowering spin on the good ol' Cinderella costume, and it’s the crossover of the decade! Her exquisite Cinderella Jedi brings two of pop culture’s favorite icons and fuses them together brilliantly with the help of her costume.
Fans have noted how thoughtful the elaborate but sharp costume is. It also stays loyal to each of the franchises’ costume dictums. The shoulder armor in place of puffy sleeves, and the slacks, are splendid touches.
8 Moana
Cosplayer Misa Ragsdale has the quirkiest cosplay ideas and she usually goes for characters who aren’t that publicized in cosplay culture, like Lana from Archer or Princess Kida from Atlantis. Naturally, when she’s playing popular Disney princesses, she likes to keep things fresh and brings in some of her own personalizations.
Her Moana cosplay, for instance, is one her best because of the easy way she executes it. From the costume to the hair, jewelry, makeup, and even the expression and the pose, everything about her Disney cosplay is just perfect.
7 Jasmine
21-year-old Italian model and cosplayer, Victoria Porrini, is famous for her extensively detailed costumes. Most of her cosplay fashion features really well-curated elements and each look is incredibly planned.
Porrini has cosplayed a number of warrior princesses with great accuracy. Fans were surprised when she chose to cosplay a Disney princess who wasn’t technically a warrior. But her Jasmine costume is perfect on all accounts. She chooses a color scheme and sticks with it. The entire look is breezy and has a well-structured feel to it. It also stands out owing to its understated vibe.
6 Belle
This Belle cosplay succeeds at a lot of things at once and is amazingly planned. Most of cosplayer Marta R’s cosplay looks are really well-executed. In fact, unlike most cosplayers, Marta doesn’t upload multiple Instagram albums for a single look, but instead, tries to capture the essence of a character in just one shot.
This also means she is really vigilant about props and background and this is exactly why her Belle cosplay comes out so fantastic. From the dress and the picture-perfect hair to the candelabra and the glass, it all comes together for the perfect cosplay.
5 Mulan
A Mulan cosplay is often tricky to chalk out because the costume is usually elaborate and most cosplayers want to use props for the perfect look. Which is why Evie’s Mulan cosplay stands out. It’s simplistic, stylish and actually tries to do something really refreshing.
Since Mulan is the most famous princess warrior, most cosplayers want to depict that side of her personality, so sword props are quite common. And while that side of the princess gets the most love, it’s always nice to see other sides of Mulan, what with the live-action movie being on the verge of release.
4 Sleeping Beauty
Model and cosplayer, Nelly Laufeyson, is usually really specific about her costumes. Her Aurora costume has been handmade by Russian costumer Anastasya, who’s a cosplayer herself. The costume is so refreshing because it’s not totally flowy and neither does it use a long train or too much lace. It has an element of structure to it and it makes the top-half of Aurora’s dress look almost military!
Most importantly, the dress works wonders on Nelly because it’s tailored so well. Nelly also posted some fantastic photos from her Snow White cosplay, some of which actually has her sleeping!
3 Rapunzel
A lot of Disney cosplayers usually get torn between portraying the two versions of Rapunzel, the Tangled one and the original one. The Tangled costume is obviously a little Hollywood -- it’s chicer, it’s hassle-free and not all that elaborate.
Cosplayer AKA Bunny is a fan of sporty costumes and often puts her own fun, convenient spins on popular cosplay look. Tangled was a great reference for Bunny, as she stuck to the costume from the movie. The hair, the gown and even the shoes, everything is really accurate. The entire set-up for the cosplay, the pose, the background and the execution, all are impeccable.
2 Snow White
A Snow White costume has a lot of room for sartorial fun. One can experiment with color blocking or strategic paneling or some fun gender-neutral silhouettes. This is why cosplayer Agnes’ spin on the Snow White costume is so stunning. It gets the element of adventure right without being too experimental.
The striped puffy sleeves, the fun corset-style dress and matching tights are perfectly in coordination. This cosplay does a great job of contemporizing the entire look because there are elements of the original look that could otherwise end up looking dated today.
1 Pocahontas
There have been so many kinds of Pocahontas cosplays over the years. Some cling to the dictates of the films and other cosplayers kick it up a notch to add in their own adjustments. But very few cosplayers can actually do it right. The ideal Pocahontas cosplay is sporty and adventurous but rooted in cultural relevance.
Misa Ragsdale’s Pocahontas costume takes just the right risks. It’s traditional, yet fresh, spirited yet exuding gravity. The bold makeup is an audacious move and she pulls it off really well. This is a great piece of inspiration for any cosplayer.
