Cosplay is the art of dressing up as a character from a movie, book, TV show, etc. But it is not merely playing dress up. This is serious business. Some cosplayers are professionals who go to great lengths to achieve the most accurate looks they possibly can. Unique Sora is one of those incredible cosplay artists.
Unique Sora is a cosplay artist and college student with over 80,000 followers on Instagram. She is a 23-year-old fine arts student who has decided to put her artistic ability out into the world using her incredibly accurate and amazing looking cosplay. If there's a classic character from a cartoon or a movie or a comic book, Sora can recreate that character in real life using wigs, makeup, and elaborate costuming. Seriously, this girl is beyond talented. Honestly, she's amazing. Just wait until you see her transform into Domino from Deadpool 2. It's bonkers good.
This is Unique Sora (a.k.a. Jasmine).
She is a self-professed "queer, black/PoC cosplayer" who has amassed a following of over 80,000 on Instagram.
Her cosplay is next level.
Reggie
Um,Â
Rocket Power was the best show and Reggie, tomboy extraordinaire, was my hero. Sora plays this cool gal flawlessly.
Nani
Let's talk about how Nani is the real hero ofÂ
Lilo & Stitch. The girl is 19 and raising her little sister all on her own.
Crimson Viper
Crimson Viper, also known as C. Viper, is a character from theÂ
Street Fighter series of video games. She's an undercover CIA agent and she's clearly incredibly cool.
Storm
This Storm costume is so fierce. Look at those strange, clouded contact lenses! The commitment Sora puts into her costumes is beyond amazing.
Missandei
RememberÂ
Game of Thrones? It was a show that used to be on HBO, but then it took like a two-year break between seasons and everyone forgot about it until it won a bunch of Emmys.
Anyway, Missandei is one of the coolest characters on the show.
Urd
Urd is a character fromÂ
Oh My Goddess!, which is a popular manga and anime series. Sora's costume, makeup, and hair are so on-point.
Domino
This may be the most insanely accurate costume in the bunch. How did she make herself look so much like her?
Spinelli
Oh my goodness,Â
Recess was the best. I pretty much worshipped Spinelli even though I was nowhere near as cool as she is.
Jasmine
This is the Jasmine you rarely see! This is what she's wearing when she's been captured by Jafar and made to be his slave, a.k.a. the scariest part ofÂ
Aladdin.
Monique
Remember Monique fromÂ
Kim Possible? She was the badass bestie of Kim. I wonder who's going to play her in the upcomingÂ
Kim Possible movie!
Esmeralda
Almost every girl I knew growing up dressed as Esmeralda fromÂ
The Hunchback of Notre Dame at some point for Halloween. It's because she's awesome.
Unique Sora gets it.
Penny Proud
I lovedÂ
The Proud Family! What a good show. They should bring it back. I'd totally watch a reboot.
Roxanne
A Goofy Movie is a total classic. Like, I don't think you understand how much this movie means to kids who grew up in the '90s. If you weren't in love with Roxanne, you wanted to be her.
Nani pt. 2
Sora wrote that she loves all of Nani's outfits and she will always be one of her favorite characters. I concur with both of those notions.
Princess Kida
Princess Kida, if you don't remember, is a character from the Disney movie,Â
Atlantis: The Lost Empire. And I think Sora totally nails it.
Bulma
Bulma is a character fromÂ
Dragon Ball, which I haven't watched, but according to the show's Wiki, she's a brilliant scientist so now I want to know everything about her.
Juniper Lee
The Life and Times of Juniper Lee was a Cartoon Network show that ran from 2005 to 2007. It's full of monsters and demons and magic.
Basically, Juniper is the coolest character ever.
Clementine
Clementine is a character fromÂ
The Walking Dead comics. Look at the lines Sora recreated on herself. Her devotion to the character design is insane.
GoGo
GoGo is a superhero from the 2014 Disney movie,Â
Big Hero 6. As if you couldn't tell from this photo, she's super cool.
Stevonnie
Stevonnie is a character fromÂ
Steven Universe, a show currently on Cartoon Network. Sora even got the hair totally right!
Chel
RememberÂ
The Road to El Dorado? It's a totally underrated animated movie. Well, this is Chel, and Sora knocks it out of the park.
Esmeralda pt. 2
Sora couldn't dress up as Esmeralda without putting on her classic, most well-known outfit. Those green contacts are hypnotizing!
Enid
Enid is a character from Cartoon Network'sÂ
OK K.O.! Sora will go to amazing lengths to find and make the costumes of the characters she recreates.
Black Rose
Black Rose is a character from the .
hack/Games. Sora definitely built her own armor for this costume. It's incredible!
Alex
This is Alex, one of a trio of badass women spies fromÂ
Totally Spies! How does Sora get the colors of her costumes to be totally accurate and on point?
Sam
Sam fromÂ
Danny Phantom definitely has a signature look. And Sora crushes it. There's no mistaking her for a different character.
Courtney
Courtney was a character onÂ
Total Drama Island. Sora wrote that she "just happened to have" this whole perfect outfit in her closet to throw together. Amazing.
Manda Panda
Amanda (Manda Panda) is a character fromÂ
Dream Daddy, a video game. Sora especially nails the makeup in this one; her freckles are perfect.
Allura
Allura is a character onÂ
Voltron: Legendary Defender. She's a princess, and she is a majestic being. I'm talking about both of them.
