Lovers of the powerful bio-organic monsters.
Being a beloved character, fans are always trying to emulate her in some way or the other. While some satiate their curiosity by trying to find out more about Claire, others take up cosplaying as a means to show their appreciation for their beloved character. There are literally hundreds of cosplays for Claire Redfield on the internet, but only a few deserve the credit of being in the top ten.
Morikyou
An artist through and through, Morikyo has attempted various different cosplays, as her Facebook profile visibly suggests. She has a fascination for the “most ridiculous things” and her cosplay of Claire Redfield is, therefore, quite ridiculously good.
A recreation of the classic 1998 Claire Redfield look from the alternative costume options in Resident Evil 2 (Remake); along with photographer ezf_photography, she creates an atmosphere that is complementary of the horror-adventure theme of the games. She further states how fun it was to don this costume since it is perhaps the “breeziest” costume that she has ever worn.
MadeInHeaven1979
As her DeviantArt handle MadeInHeaven1979 suggests, Léa is quite in love with everything related to Resident Evil. French by birth, she has been participating in various cosplay events in , Brussels, and Bordeaux since 2008.
Interested in everything that screams “art,” she is looking forward to forging a career in video game production and also does freelance illustrations on the side. Her skills are quite generously highlighted in her wonderful cosplay of Claire Redfield, which also happens to be her favorite character from the games.
Sheenah267
Resident Evil- Code: Veronica is perhaps one of the best storylines from the series that deserves a movie spin-off, and this fact is not lost on sheenah267. As her DevianArt bio suggests, Code Veronica X, the Dreamcast extension of the original is in fact one of her favorite video games.
A talented cosplayer, and self-proclaimed Resident Evil fan, this French-Canadian has expertly recreated Claire’s iconic look from the game, where Claire is forced to go to the Antarctic Base of Umbrella Corporation owing to Alfred pursuing her and Steve. The dark-red denim over jacket flaunting the three flames from that game's costume, and a snowy setting resembling the frigid Antarctic, aptly sum up the overall mood of this killer cosplay.
Ami Kitamaru
One of the most iconic looks from the series for Claire Redfield has to be the one from the original Resident Evil 2. While the game has been remade, the classic look of Claire, in short denim, a cycling skinsuit, and a rugged red denim jacket with “Made in Heaven” inscribed at the back is something fans feel nostalgic about.
Therefore, this cosplay by Ami Kitamaru from Shinjuku, Japan, who is an experienced cosplayer with over 15 years of experience, is nothing short of exquisite. The cowboy boots aptly complete the look.
EnjiNight
A Hungarian cosplayer of great skill and talent, EnjiNight seems to make every costume she dons her own, courtesy of her brilliant costume work, and priority towards skillful photography, and editing. Her Supergirl cosplay and Katarina cosplay from League of Legends are simply out of this world.
However, equally brilliant is her cosplay of Claire Redfield. Since Claire’s costume from Resident Evil 2 seems to be the most popular, she has attempted her own take on the same, which by all s is brilliant and hauntingly accurate. The attention to detail is palpable in each element of this costume, starting from the vest, the denim shorts, the black skinsuit, and especially the brown waist bag.
HopeHavoc
Being a natural redhead and having blue eyes, it seems that the cosplay of Claire Redfield was tailor-made for HopeHavoc. Claire also sports auburn hair and has blue eyes in the games, which makes this beautiful cosplayer the perfect person to try it. Moreover, her cosplay skills are also quite impressive.
Hailing from the United States, HopeHavoc has been sharing her cosplay work on DeviantArt since 2010, clearly suggesting that she has some experience in the field. In this cosplay, she is donning the classic look from Resident Evil: Code Veronica. The crop top sleeveless red jacket with three flames on the left-hand side and the fingerless gloves are extremely accurate. The only things amiss might be the pink choker and the color of the belt and gloves, but those intricacies can be forgiven owing to the sheer beauty of this cosplay.
Rejicted
A cosplayer from the Czech Republic, Rejicted has been in love with the Resident Evil games since she was twelve years old, the first time she played Resident Evil 2. While she started cosplaying in 2014, the thought has been on her mind for a long time.
While purists may frown at her cosplay of Claire, from RE2, what makes it unique is the originality she has put into it. Chucking the red vest, she has opted to only keep the black skinsuit and retained the red and black combination by opting for a red short. Her dedication towards the art of cosplaying can be gauged through her inspirational bio, zeal for improvement, and over sixty brilliant costumes that she has worked on and completed to date.
SophieValentineCos
Claire Redfield stands for everything badass, having fought it out with some of the toughest bosses in the game series, and therefore a cosplay of hers should be equally badass. SophieValentineCos does that exact job with her brilliant take on this fascinating character.
Apart from the stunning costume that is clearly inspired by Resident Evil 2, the photography of the same is just as good. The fact that she is an awesome cosplayer can be seen through the exquisite attention to detail of the costume. Those checking out her work should also take time to see her cosplay of League of Legends.
HeyCiry
There are a number of games that are part of the Resident Evil series, and Claire Redfield has been a recurrent character in so many of them. While she made cameo appearances in some, others saw her as a playable character. She has been up to a variety of different things in between the games, and along with the changes in her life; there have been some major alterations in her wardrobe and character design as well.
One well-liked look of hers is the sniper outfit she flaunts in Resident Evil Revelations 2. Wearing a V-neck red shirt and blue jeans, made complete with a black-colored shoulder holster and orange biker goggles, this look of Claire has been achieved to perfection by HeyCiry. A streamer, gamer, designer, and extremely talented cosplayer, she rocks this classic look of Claire Redfield.
Rissoft_
There are some people who are simply born for cosplay, and rissoft_ is definitely one of them. Her Instagram profile is arguably a goldmine for cosplay enthusiasts, and her skills can be best understood through her immaculate Claire Redfield cosplay, recreating the character’s look from Resident Evil 2 (Remake).
The red leather chained-up jacket and dark jeans are not just accurate with the games, but the cosplayer further accentuates the look by posing perfectly for the photographs. The cosplay is so good that some might even mistake it for a 3D rendering.
