Disney’s timeless cartoons continue to fuel cosplay creativity. The choice feels natural because Jasmine suits this cosplayer’s aesthetic.

Dita Von Teese by Saint Hysteria
Dita von Teese is a familiar icon for fans of pinup and burlesque. The intention behind this cosplay was to infuse striptease with an extra dose of flirtation, and the result speaks for itself. In this space, cosplay based on real-life icons tends to fall into two camps: it misses the mark when the resemblance is off, or it shines when the likeness is strong. This one clearly lands in the latter category. Cosplayer – Holy Hysteria.

There’s a long-standing admiration for Dita, and the project felt like a fortunate surprise. The shoot was enjoyable, and the images captivate with a confidence that’s hard to ignore. The response from fans has been overwhelmingly positive, fueling thoughts of more pin-up sessions.
