Cosplay is a portmanteau of the words “costume” and “play.” It refers to the practice of dressing up as a character from a movie, book, video game, or other forms of media, often involving detailed costumes and accessories that replicate the character’s appearance. Cosplayers may also embody the personality and mannerisms of the characters they represent, participating in conventions, photo shoots, or online communities to share their passion. The practice encompasses a wide range of fandoms across various genres, and it often includes the creation of costumes, makeup, and props. Cosplay is celebrated not just as a form of artistic expression but also as a way for fans to connect with one another and celebrate their favorite characters and stories.
