The final month of autumn has drawn to a close, and this collection spotlights the most striking November cosplays. It highlights photo sets inspired by League of Legends, Eva from Stellar Blade, Morrigan from Dragon Age: Origins, Queen Marika from Elden Ring, and other contemporary passions from the gaming world. Fans chasing rare skins will also enjoy Jay from the Phantom Liberty expansion for Cyberpunk 2077.
Starfire from DC Comics by Koteg
In comics, films, and games, alien heroines are often imagined as radiant beauties. Starfire, hailing from the Tamaran system, embodies that luminous allure. Nightwing, known in civilian life as Dick Grayson, found himself drawn to her warmth, and a romance teased a wedding that never fully came to pass. Starfire’s powers enable spaceflight without a suit and energy blasts that spark the imagination. Koteg’s cosplay captures that star-bright presence with a bold bodysuit paired with gloves and boots.
Initially the aim was a joint photoshoot with a friend wearing a Raven costume, but the project deepened as comics featuring Starfire shaped the stylistic choices. The costume options vary with different artists, yet this version resonated for its energy, the gloves, boots, and the striking bodysuit that commands the frame.

Jinx from League of Legends by AGflower
The arc of Arcane’s second season marked a crucial moment for many cosplayers who revisited Powder, Vi, and Caitlin. AGflower embodied the chaotic heroine Jinx, drawing on a celebrated art style by Princess Ailish for reference. The costume choice foregrounds that wild, unpredictable energy that defines the Piltover outlaw turned symbol of rebellion.
Hot bonus:
I really like Jinx as a character in Arcane. However, the canonical version wasn’t feasible due to differing body types, so the cosplay was adapted from an art-inspired design by a Russian artist. The result is a powerful transformation into the beloved Jinx with a unique twist that stays true to the character’s spirit.

The portrayal emphasizes both the opulence of her garb and the weight of her rulership on the game’s lore.
Hot bonus:
Queen Marika is not just a statue of beauty; she embodies a sovereign with a fate that wields quiet power. The character’s versatility fascinated the creator, and the aim was to reflect the storytelling weight that makes Elden Ring such a cultural touchstone for players worldwide.
