Anime Expo 2024: Our Favorite Cosplay Looks

The July Anime Convention brought the cosplay heat yet again.

Since 1992, Anime Expo has been bringing the cosplay heat to the Los Angeles Convention Center, and this year was no exception.

Once again, the vicinity to Hollywood brings out some of the most impressive costumes on the convention circuit, from sexy One Piece fits to wildly massive constructions.

As usual, cosplay photographer Mineralblu has provided us with a fantastic selection of great costumes to ogle, as well as a video highlighting even more that didn't make this slideshow.

Highlights from Anime Expo 2024

• CHATTERBOX NIKKE: Look at this absolute unit. Imagine seeing this thing on the show floor. What an incredible build.
• ADA WONG RESIDENT EVIL: Her face card never declined.
• SEXY NARUTO: I had to have someone explain this to me, and I'm glad I have learned about it. This cosplayer looks incredible.
• IVANKOV ONE PIECE: Mad respect to anyone who can wear a one-piece with such incredible poise and confidence.
• BUGGY ONE PIECE: I love when cosplayers take a very not-hot character and make them hot.
• IONO AND HEX MANIAC POKEMON: The wigs are incredible. This is the kind of hair work that the girls of Ru Paul's Drag Race would be envious of.
• AKUMA STREET FIGHTER: I give credit to anyone who can wear these kinds of eye contacts because I just know they're uncomfortable as hell.
• RATHALOS MONSTER HUNTER WORLD: I love armor-based cosplay because you can really hone in on some incredible details—the slashes across the helm, the scales running down the chest, and the hilt of the blade.
• LEELOO THE FIFTH ELEMENT: I will always respect someone willing to wear what is essentially several strips of fabric stitched together and then walk around a show floor full of weird dudes.
• HAUNTER POKEMON: You better not be a sexy Haunter when I show up.
• RYUK DEATH NOTE: New sleep paralysis demon just dropped.
• AGRAT SHIN MEGAMI TENSEI V VENGEANCE: This is just pristine. The perfect makeup, the expertly styled wig, the color-matched accessories. This looks like it could be in a movie.
• LILITH SHIN MEGAMI TENSEI V VENGEANCE: Look at that scary-ass snake. The beautiful flower in her hand. I love props.
• DANK MAGICIAN YU GI OH: This is so good. Yu Gi Oh's Dark Magician but make him dank. I love weed jokes. I love cosplay. I love them together.
• STAR NEMESIS MORGANA LEAGUE OF LEGENDS: Look at how her wig, makeup, and color panelling on her wings make her look iridescent. This is so incredibly beautiful.
• RAGYO KILL LA KILL: Ragyo is a character who just screams luxury, and this cosplayer knows exactly how to pull that off.
• DR STONE: If this cosplayer walked around with this green LED light, they deserve all the awards. What a brilliant way to add even more depth to an incredible costume.
• ARCANE: Group cosplays are incredible, but they can often fall victim to a common problem—one cosplayer stands out too much from the others. This is not one of those instances. They all look incredible and cohesive.
