Hilarious Cosplay Fails
Nerdy is in! For fans of nerd culture, cosplay is a pretty big deal and people take it very seriously. Dressing up as their favorite characters from television shows, films, games, books and more, cosplayers often attend conventions and converse with like-minded individuals.
Often cosplayers put a lot of thought and work into their cosplay, so much so that cosplay is often considered to be a completely separate entity from your traditional "costume." Sometimes the cosplay can look even better than the source material, but not always. Other times, despite one's efforts, a cosplay can really miss the mark with some hilariously terrible results.
It's not that the following costumes are the absolute worst of the worst, but when looking at them, you can instantly tell something's not right. The effort is certainly but the cosplay work leaves much to be desired. With that said, let's take a look at some hilarious cosplay fails.
The following cosplays aren't the worst of the worst but they are definitely teetering on the level of bizarre. Even if you think some of these cosplays are great, you at least have to admit that they are pretty hilarious. So, let's check them out!

- After her role as First Lady came to an end, Jackie Kennedy went into the publishing business. She became an associate editor at Doubleday and worked mostly on autobiographies. In fact, she was one of two original editors for Michael Jackson's 2009 autobiography Moonwalk, a #1 New York Times bestseller.
- Björk created a media sensation when she wore her iconic white swan dress to the 2001 Oscars. At the time, many derided it as hideous and a publicity stunt, but it has since gone down as one of the most memorable dresses of all time—even if it isn't exactly beloved. She says David Bowie was the inspiration behind the dress.
- Paris Hilton not only lives in a mansion, she also built a doghouse mansion for her Chihuahua. It's 300 square feet and includes air conditioning and heating. It comes decked out with designer furniture, a chandelier, a pink paint job, second-floor balcony, and enclosed "yard." It's not enough for you to live in luxury. Your dog must, as well.
- Jennifer Aniston's star-defining role on friends started a hair craze in the 90s that even lasted into the early 2000s. Called "The Rachel," Aniston's shoulder-length haircut had grown-out bangs and highlights styled to perfection. A hairdresser in Detroit noted that at the peak of its popularity, 40% of her business was devoted to recreating "The Rachel." Too bad that it was notoriously difficult to maintain on your own at home.
- While attending the Grammys in February 2000, Jennifer Lopez stepped out in a green Versace dress that instantly became a phenomenon. The barely-there ensemble had a dramatically low cut that came below JLo’s belly button. It became such a talking point that it was Google’s most popular search query up to that point, and it spurred the company to include images into search results. It became the motivation for Google Images.
