People Who Accidentally Cosplayed in Real Life and Got the Most Amazing Results

It used to be that cosplay was just something a specific group of geeks did on the weekends, but lately, dressing up in the costume of your favorite character—outside of Halloween—has become beloved and mainstream. Men and women alike become pseudo-professional seamstresses, creating lavish costumes to capture every detail of their chosen character perfectly. It is not a cheap hobby.

The people below, however, are a different kind of cosplayers. They are so advanced that they do it right without even trying (or being aware that they are trying).

Is that you, Admiral Ackbar?!
