10Shepard And Samara
While most of the Samara cosplay was made by cosplayer,Evil-Siren, the headpiece was made byChiara Bartoli. According to Evil-Siren’s description, Shepard was cosplayed by Yuriko and the photograph was done by TheYinas.
While Asari are difficult to cosplay, they can be the most beautiful when done well and Evil-Siren definitely pulled it off with her headpiece, make-up, gun, and overall outfit. Both she and Shepard look as if the characters came to life.
9Liara
This gorgeous Liara cosplay was done byJennifer Pryer, who is a professional when it comes to makeup. She has also cosplayed as Miranda fromMass Effect,but we decided to focus on her Liara cosplay for this list. Her makeup for this costume is amazing and that is why pictures of her Liara costume have already spread all over sites like Reddit
Besides characters fromMass Effect, she has also cosplayed Ciri fromThe Witcher 3,a Qunari Inquisitor from Dragon Age: Inquisition, and both the vampire Serana and a thief in the Nightingale armor fromSkyrim

8Ryder And Cora
This photograph has been all over with no credit to the cosplayers so let’s get this straight. Sara Ryder is byKeyveiand Cora Harper is byNiamash. The photograph was done byKIRA Photoarts.
Most cosplayers choose to dress as characters they love from games that they love, so it is sad when most of the comments are from haters of theAndromedagame.Andromedadoes have a fandom and they are a talented and positive bunch of people. The fandom world would be a better place if there were more creative and open-mindedMass Effectfans like them out there.
7Grunt And Jack
Grunt is byBettcanardand Jack is byKarin Olavaand they look like the real deal from a film. Sometimes to be an alien, you got to encase yourself inside a huge costume. That is especially true if you plan to be a Krogan like Grunt. Also, Jack takes a ton of work even though she is human since she is covered in tattoos.
The pose they have is especially cute since it is a callback to when Shepard has the option to headbutt a Krogan. We know if there was any other character who would headbutt a Krogan, it would be Jack.

6Ashley
Made and worn byShiaya Costumes, this Ashley Williams looks like she came straight out ofMass Effect 3.
Depending on your choices, this character may not even appear in the third game. That is because she can die in the first game if you choose to save Kaiden instead of her. Sad, but that is what can happen when you play a game all about making tough choices.
5Miranda
Miranda is a character who was created in a lab to have the perfect genes, so of course it would make sense for her cosplayer to be a model. This Miranda is cosplayed by a Polish model, Jessika F, and the photograph was taken byDark Stars Photography.
Miranda was actually a bit of a controversial character whenMass Effect 2came out due to all the angles that involved her butt when you talked to her. However, some cosplayers do not mind wearing a bit of tight spandex from time to time.
4Tali
The cosplayer isDark Cloud Cosplayand the photo was done byChiu Photography & Art. The effort put into a Tali cosplay is big, because she is all clothes and armor. On the bright side, that means you do not have to look at all like her to cosplay her. Other cosplays done by Dark Cloud Cosplay include Emily fromDishonored 2, Futaba fromPersona 5, Zenyatta fromOverwatch, Undyne fromUndertale, and much more.
3Kasumi
Photographed bySteven Brownand cosplayed byMijiko88, Kasumi is a character that was introduced inMass Effect 2. Her cosplayer has also done characters fromDeath Note, The Legend of Korra, Mortal Kombat, Final Fantasy, Sailor Moon, Black Butler, .Hack,and much more. She is also part of a cosplay duo calledApocalypse Meow.

Kasumi was pretty different from otherMass Effectcharacters in that she worked with stealth more than rushing into combat. She also was only available in the story if you had her DLC in your game.
2EDI
The cosplayer for this jaw-dropping EDI isBlackwater Cosplayand the photographer wasPaul Hillier. We cannot blame you if you thought this was a CGI model or art, but no, its a real person. Apparently, Blackwater Cosplay worked with Kink Engineering to create the costume.
Blackwater Cosplay has also done characters like Starfire fromTeen Titans, BB8 fromStar Wars, Sera fromDragon Age: Inquisition, Honey Lemon fromBig Hero 6, and more. Even she was impressed with how the photos turned out, as she wrote on her Facebook post of the picture, “Every time I see them I can’t believe that they’re real, or I’m real, or that this happened. I am so so so lucky.”
1Kai Leng
This may look like a painting, but its actually a cosplayer! The costume was made and worn byCobheranand the photo was taken by Orlando Cosplay PhotographerElysia Griffin.
Kai Leng was an interesting villain inMass Effect 3, seeming to almost be a match for Shepard in combat . . . almost. According to Cobheran, he gets a lot of interesting reactions from the bad guy cosplay. He wrote, “To this day when I wear this at conventions people will say to me ‘Oh, you’re that guy from Mass Effect….I HATED YOU!’ Which usually leads to a good exchange and lots of laughs.”
