Characters from the cartoon Road to El Dorado by Nastya Elagina

    Ghost from the cartoon Aladdin by Anna Shakhovskaya

    Anna has portrayed Princess Jasmine in the Disney universe twice and now explores the genie as a female rendition of a traditionally male character.

          Mirabelle Chesnoke from Hogwarts Legacy by Alice01

          Continuing the Hogwarts Legacy lineup, a canonical portrait of Mirabelle Chesnoke is featured. The herbalism professor comes to life through the efforts of Alisa Romanova, known as Alice01.

          For this cosplay, the maker faced a demanding challenge. The hat and wand required careful crafting, and the velvety texture of the fabric demanded a precise selection of materials. The affection for Mirabelle is clear, and the collaboration shows a dutiful commitment to accuracy and character essence.

          Cosplay at Chesnoke became a personal passion project meant to honor the character and the craft.

          Tarzan, released at the tail end of Disney’s Renaissance, introduced Jane Porter to a new generation. She emerges in the jungle with her father as the story unfolds romance amidst exploration. The Jane cosplay was created by AGflower.

          I have cosplayed Jane multiple times because she remains one of my favorite Disney heroines. It’s a pity she isn’t a princess, which keeps her cosplay a bit less common but absolutely beloved by fans.
