10 Uncanny Cosplays to Make You Question Reality

Seeing your favourite characters come to life is one of the joys of cosplay. There’s no limit to what you can do creatively when it comes to the craft, and I love seeing brand new versions or interpretations of a character. Every once in a while, though, I come across cosplays that are so accurate to the original that it’s almost unbelievable. And it’s not just the costume itself. Sometimes the cosplayer genuinely shares a physical resemblance to a character, other times they’ve done amazing makeup work to achieve the perfect look. Whatever the case, these people make me seriously question the line between fiction and reality.

Here are a few cosplay doppelganger’s from around the world. If you see some that you like, be sure to check out the artists and photographers to follow more of their work.
