Philippa Eilhart from the second Witcher series by Ilona Bugaeva
Philippa is among the most formidable sorceresses in The Witcher universe. She rose to advisor to Redania’s king, yet that position proved insufficient for her ambitions. The sorceress maneuvered to influence politics through the Lodge of Sorceresses, but rivals proved relentless. Ultimately, Philippa’s fate hinged on Geralt, and her cosplay was crafted by Ilona Bugaeva.

Elise from Tekken 7 by Kaya Nilson
Vampire Eliza first appeared in Tekken Revolution, a PlayStation 3 spin-off, before joining the seventh mainline installment. Her striking design and healing-themed combat made her a favorite, though fans were disappointed she wasn’t included in Tekken 8’s starting roster. This vampire cosplay was created by Kaya Nilson.

I admire Eliza’s elegant look with the red and black corset, gothic wardrobe, and horn accents. It fits perfectly with her bloodthirsty persona.

Tifa Lockhart from Final Fantasy 7 remake by AGflower
The latest remake of Final Fantasy 7, released in 2020 and followed by Rebirth in 2024, continues to captivate fans. Alena Sysueva portrays Tifa Lockhart in the canonical blue dress, a nod to the iconic heroine in the ninth installment of the remake series.
Actually, Iris inspired the Tifa cosplay at a subscriber request. The artist wondered how the character would translate to life, pushing the design to the limit.

Harley Quinn from Saint Elena’s animated Batman series
The Harley Quinn showcased here hails from the Batman animated universe, where the Joker’s girlfriend wore a sharp suit and harlequin hat. Saint Elena brings that image to life. For more Harley cosplay, a broader collection is available. Photographer: Sasha Myfetis.

The set nods to an episode of Harley and Ivy with a unique twist, and credit goes to photographer Sasha Mifetis for turning ideas into reality.
