C2E2 2018: Some of the best cosplay, from Star Wars to Stranger Things

Olenna Tyrell and Daenerys Targaryen

Game of Thrones got some representation at C2E2; I mostly saw a lot of Daenerys Targaryens in her many outfits. But just one that I saw went for the season 7 white coat — and yes, she had the dragon chain, too.

Next to her is, of course, Olenna Tyrell. I have nothing else to say other than seeing these two inspired me to “be a dragon” pretty much all day.

Perhaps the thing that constantly surprises me about cosplayers is the amount of detail they put into their work. It’d be pretty easy to go for the less elaborate costumes of Game of Thrones (yes, they exist), but these two had not only a Needle and a goblet, but fake snow and the armor-like accessories, respectively.

A Southside Serpent and a River Vixen

Yes, there were plenty of people representing Riverdale at C2E2. (Naturally, the Archie Comics booth also was pretty heavy on the Riverdale comics as well.) But not everyone went for a full-blown River Vixens outfit, and naturally, what’s a cosplayer representing the north side of Riverdale without someone dressed as the southern equivalent?

If you haven’t seen Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir, a), it’s on Netflix, and b), this trio nailed representations of the main heroes in front as well as the main villain in back — slicked-back hair and all for Hawkmoth!
