Lady Dimitrescu from Resident Evil Village
Lady Alcina Dimitrescu has already taken the internet by storm. A beautiful vampire standing over nine feet tall with a killer smile, it’s easy to see why she caused a splash when she appeared in January’s Maiden. Her history is still largely unknown and will have to stay that way until Resident Evil: Village comes out this May. That hasn’t stopped fans from putting together cosplays in the Lady’s honor, our own among them!
While it is possible to use stilts to mimic the Lady’s height, it’s not recommended. Instead this cosplay focuses on Lady Dimitrescu’s style. A wide brimmed black hat, black leather gloves, black boots, and black flower pin all stand in sharp contrast to her flowing white empire waist gown. Her skin is also ghostly white which can be recreated using body paint. If you’d prefer to skip the body paint you can use a face painting kit to recreate the sharp lines and slightly undead look that gives away Lady Dimitrescu’s vampiric nature.
Finish the look with a dark brown wig. Lady Dimitrescu wears her hair pinned up in tight curls from the 1950s which you will have to recreate yourself. There are several tutorials on YouTube both on curling synthetic wigs and on recreating Dimitrescu’s look.
Be sure and put on your favorite red lipstick and you’re ready to rule a castle of your own.

Use the fabric scissors to cut the sleeves off the red gi.
Vergil from Devil May Cry 3
Vergil is a character in the Devil May Cry video game franchise. He is the son of the demon Sparda and human Eva, as well as the older twin brother of Dante. In contrast to his brother, Vergil rejects his humanity in favor of his demonic heritage. He is an apathetic and reserved individual, but his ambition gets the best of him, as he will do anything to usurp the power of his father. This leads him down a dark path, hence his role as the main antagonist of the fifth installment. This outfit in particular is from the third installment.
Athena Cykes from Ace Attorney
Athena Cykes works for famed Ace Attorney Phoenix Wright at the Wright Anything Agency. A childhood trauma led her to a career in law. With her sensitive hearing and training in Europe as an analytical psychologist, she’s especially skilled at picking up on witnesses’ vocal tells, which she uses to her advantage in the court room.
Barry Burton from Resident Evil
Barry Burton from the Resident Evil franchise has been handed down from voice actor to voice actor but he remains the character that so many fans know and love. He is a dedicated family man which guides his hand in everything he does. And while is passionate about bringing down the Umbrella Corporation and stopping bioterrorism, he will not sacrifice the people he loves to do it.
He is a former member of the US Air Force and a backup for the elite S.T.A.R.S. unit. His experience means that he approaches his work with a very pragmatic and critical eye. Work boots, sturdy jeans, and an easy-access chest holster mean that he can get in, get the job done, and get out without worrying about his clothes making that harder. His buzz cut and clean shave are holdovers from his time in the military. And though he is well-versed in many weapons, he prefers his trusty revolver.
V from Devil May Cry 5
V is one of three protagonists along with Dante and Nero in the Capcom video game Devil May Cry 5. He is the only playable character who is entierly new, and thus he is shrouded in mystery. Unlike the other characters, V does not engage in actual combat but instead channels the demons Shadows, Griffon, and Nightmare to fight for him, all the while reading from his book of poetry (which makes a great accessory along with his cane!)
Vergil from Devil May Cry 5
Vergil is the brother and rival of Dante from theDevil May Cry series by Capcom. He makes his big return in Devil May Cry 5 sporting a new look that’s primarily black as opposed to his previous blue incarnations. Nevertheless, he is just as ruthless as ever in his obsessive quest to obtain more power and defeat his brother to be crowned the true Son of Sparda.
Nico Goldstein
Nico Goldstein is the shopkeep from the Capcom video game Devil May Cry 5. She is the daughter of Agnus, a major villain from Devil May Cry 4, and granddaughter of Nell Goldstein, the gunsmith that created Dante’s guns Ebony and Ivory. She assists Nero by building and selling his Devil Breakers, robotic arms with multiple abilities that aid him on his quest to defeat Urizen.
Nero from Devil May Cry 5
Nero is one of three protagonists along with Dante and V in the 2019 Capcom video game Devil May Cry 5. The son of Vergil, Nero boasts a serious temper that’s only amplified when his Devil Brigner arm is cut off. Armed with the new robotic Devil Breaker arm forged by Nico Goldstein, Nero sets out to prove to Dante that he is not just dead weight.
