Background: Best Cosplay of February on VGTimes
The first month of spring has come to an end and we have made a selection for you of the most beautiful cosplay for March. We bring to your attention Tifa Lockhart in a canonical swimsuit, the luxurious Lady Dimitreska, the spectacular Shadowheart from Baldur’s Gate 3, as well as a truly unusual image – a female version of Kratos from God of war.
Tifa Lockhart from Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth by Oichi
Released on February 29 for PlayStation 5 Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, the second chapter of the remake classic game from 1997. In it we saw many well-known characters, including Tifa Lockhart. The cosplay of Cloud Strife’s girlfriend was created by Vera Andreeva, better known as Oichi. The girl showed her character both in a basic suit and in a cute swimsuit. Note that both outfits are considered canonical, as they appeared in the remake.
Hot bonus:
I first saw Tifa as a child, in an iridescent GIF with butterflies. We then downloaded them to mobile phones. Who would have thought that years later I would become a fan of the seventh “Final” and its characters. This is not my first photo shoot as Tifa. I also cosplayed her in the original costume and blue dress, as well as fan service outfits.

Alsina Dimitrescu from Resident Evil Village by Lady Melamori
Capcom’s roadmap has appeared online, with dates for future releases. According to her, Resident Evil 9 will be released on October 24, 2025. Its story will be connected to the seventh and eighth parts of the series, but the emphasis will mainly be on new characters. We hope the writers don’t forget charismatic bosses like Lady Dimitrescu Village. She was cosplayed by Lady Melamori.

Shadow Heart from Baldur’s Gate 3 by Alisa Arefieva
The GDC 2024 conference recently took place, where, in addition to technical innovations, the best games of the past year were announced. Won the main prize Baldur’s Gate 3. At the same time, the head of Larian Studios, Swen Vincke, said that he does not plan to work on the fourth part or additions to the third. His team’s efforts will be focused on other projects that promise to be innovative. Cosplay of the half-elf Shadowheart was created by Alisa Arefieva.
As soon as I saw Shadowheart in the game, I immediately knew I wanted to cosplay as her. Later I delved into her story and enjoyed it even more. My portfolio already includes two shoots in the form of a half-elf, which are based on art. Now it’s time for the camp suit. But that’s not all: I plan to collect a complete statue of Shadowheart in canonical armor.

Kratos from God of War by Sofia Letyago
Artwork featuring a female version of Kratos appeared online after the game’s release God of War (2018). Soon they started making cosplay based on these drawings. The most recent example is the work of Sofia Letyago. The detailing of clothing and weapons is beyond praise.
Hot bonus:
I love cosplay with armor and weapons, so I wanted to bring to life the image of a beautiful heroine in armor. Just then in my circle they were actively discussing how “great” Kratos tells fairy tales to Atreus and simply behaves like “father of the year.” I am interested. As a result, the original idea with a warrior was transformed into a work based on God Of War. But the female characters in this game aren’t particularly popular and don’t have interesting designs to me. So I made a spontaneous decision: make a female version of Kratos myself. The result is before you.

Dark Lady from the anime series “Sailor Moon” by Vavalika
Although the Sailor Moon anime peaked in popularity in the 90s, new episodes are still being released today. For many girls, the story of warriors in sailor suits evokes a sense of nostalgia. Not surprisingly, they often do cosplay based on it. Vavalika decided to go for the Dark Lady, an evil version of Chibiusa who had been corrupted by the Death Phantom.

Jean Gray from Marvel Comics by Lada Lumos
On March 20, the first episodes of X-Men ’97 were released on Disney+. This is a direct continuation of the classic animated series about mutants, which aired from 1992 to 1997. Since 2000, films about them have been produced by 20th Century Fox. But in June, Wolverine will debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, along with Deadpool. And in the future we will probably see Jean Gray, the most powerful representative of the X-Men, especially after acquiring the Phoenix Force. Her cosplay was made by Lada Lumos.

Yennefer from the book saga “The Witcher” by Irina Meyer
Andrzej Sapkowski promises to release a new book in the series this year “The Witcher” According to preliminary information, this is not a continuation of the main events of the saga, but another missing chapter, which will be devoted to the early adventures of Geralt. Yennefer cosplay was created by Irina Meyer. The image is based on descriptions from the novels of a Polish writer.

Black cat from Marvel Comics by Toriealis
In addition to comics, Felicia Hardy has appeared in several Spider-Man video games. Last year, for example Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 Black Cat appeared in one of the story chapters. Let’s not forget that this is a cunning thief who has developed feelings for Peter Parker. The image of Felicia was brought to life by Toriealis.
I’ve been collecting comics from the DC and Marvel universes since I was a kid. And I have a whole list of characters I want to cosplay in the future. After Catwoman in Batman Returns, I wondered if Felicia Hardy, Spider-Man’s sidekick, would be a good fit for me. I chose between the game and the comic version, and ultimately I chose the image from the graphic novels. I already had the black latex suit because I had used it for another cosplay before. There was very little left: a mask, a wig and a coat. Everything was ready quickly, after which we had a photo shoot.

Harley Quinn from the Hologana animated series of the same name
As James Gunn prepares to reboot the DC cinematic universe, characters from the publisher’s comics appear in other works. For example, in July 2024, the anime series “Suicide Squad from Another World” will be released, which is devoted to the adventures of a team of criminals in parallel dimensions. To complete Amanda Waller’s next task, King Shark, Deadshot, Joker and Peacemaker will have to face off against orcs and mages. But many viewers are not waiting for him, but for the fifth season of the solo animated series about Harley. It has already been announced, but the premiere date is not yet known. Miss Quinn cosplay is made by Hologana.

Eve and Boss from Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater by Vasiliel and Frau_Haku
Many fans of Hideo Kojima’s games believe this the third Metal Gear Solid, the best part of the series. Not surprisingly, she will soon receive a full-fledged copy remake. An important role in the plot of Snake Eater is played by two girls: the mentor of the main character, Boss, and his random ally, Eva. They were cosplayed by Frau_Haku and Vasiliel.
The idea of creating a Boss cosplay arose in 2019, that is, before I became interested in the Metal Gear Solid series. But her costume turned out to be complicated, so it was only possible to complete it three years later. I was motivated by friends who convinced me that I was like Naked Snake’s mentor. And I like that she is a strong woman with an interesting and dramatic story.

The little mermaid from the AGflower cartoon of the same name
The failure of the recent remake of The Little Mermaid has forced Disney to change its strategy for releasing new films. Now the focus is on direct sequels. Don’t think we won’t see more reinterpretations of the classics, though. A new version of Snow White will be released next year, which has already been filmed and is in post-production. And our beauty Alena Sysueva decided to remind us what the Little Mermaid looked like in the original 1989 cartoon.
Ariel is my favorite Disney princess. Her image influenced me as a child. And I’m happy to return to her not only in cosplay, but also in real life. For example, my real wedding had a Little Mermaid theme.

Black Widow from the movie “Avengers” by Asami Gate
The Avengers is the first film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to gross over $1 billion at the box office. It came out in 2012, when Disney didn’t yet have the rights to Spider-Man and Wolverine. Therefore, the team of superheroes was not as diverse as in the original comics. But the audience still liked the picture. They were especially impressed by Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow. The heroine’s cosplay was made by Asami Gate.

Spider-Gwen from the cartoon “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” by Shirogane-sama
In parallel with Disney, Sony also produces cartoons based on Marvel comics. The film adaptations of the Spider-Verse line were especially successful. We’re talking Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. Thanks to them, many viewers learned about Spider-Gwen. This is an alternate version of Miss Stacy from Earth-65 who has acquired spider powers. She was cosplayed by Shirogane-sama.
Fiona from the first “Shrek” (Shrek) by Felibelka
The last Shrek cartoon appeared 14 years ago. After this, DreamWorks Animation studio focused on the story of Puss in Boots. But after the release of the second cartoon about the hairy musketeer, it was announced that filming of the new “Shrek” had begun. In the near future we will see the return of the green-skinned giant, his faithful friend the donkey and his beloved Fiona. Her cosplay was made by Felibelka.
Hot bonus:
I first saw the cartoon “Shrek” when I was 9 years old. Since then I have remained a big fan of the first two parts. Like many girls, I especially liked Fiona. I wanted to cosplay her for a long time but couldn’t afford it. This opportunity has only recently arisen.
Ada Wong from Resident Evil 4 by Onyxia Sophinicum
Sometimes, cosplay girls reenact episodes from Ada Wong’s life that were not included in the series’ games Residential evil. For example, they show how a special agent achieves his goals not by force, but by cunning or even affection. Onyxia Sophinicum showed its heroine sometimes wearing a revealing dress to seduce an important employee and obtain another sample of a dangerous virus.
