Each character she cosplays is so convincing, as the cosplayer is such an extraordinary chameleon.
Ilona Bugaeva is a cosplayer and a makeup artist. She replicates a variety of female characters through her remarkable transformations.
While many cosplayers choose a specific number of individuals to imitate, Bugaeva decided to cast her net across different genres. The talented cosplayer transforms herself to look like Disney characters, women from Game of Thrones, and the iconic Princess Leia as well.
Each character she cosplays is so convincing that you wouldn't recognize her beyond her fantasy attire. Costumes are just one aspect of how Bugaeva achieves each of her cosplay characters.
In addition to the impeccably styled wigs and makeup, there's also the way she embodies each character. While posing for a picture, Bugaeva takes her time to consider the personalities of the women she is cosplaying.
