It’s hard to find a skirt with a slit on the right thigh, but you can pull the one pictured up higher to mimic the shorter length of Ada’s original from the movie.
Nikolai Zinoviev from Resident Evil 3
Nikolai Zinoviev (voiced by Neil Newbon) is a Soviet Army veteran who served in the paramilitary of the Umbrella Corporation. He appears Resident Evil 3 and its remake. Codenamed Silver Wolf, Nikolai is tasked with several high-priority missions including being offered a reward to kill Jill Valentine. In the remake, Nikolai wears a grey shirt under a black tactical vest with the Umbrella Corporation logo. He also dons dark grey pants, combat boots, and black fingerless gloves. His uniform is completed with knee pads, dual thigh holsters, and a pistol.
Leon S. Kennedy from Resident Evil 4 Remake
Leon S. Kennedy (voiced by Nick Apostolides) is a main character in the Resident Evil franchise. In the remake of Resident Evil 4, Leon is tasked with rescuing Ashley Graham from a cult in a secluded European village. Along the way, he receives help from Ada Wong and Luis Serra. Leon’s look in the remake of the game is similar to his appearance from the original iteration with some small changes to make him look more realistic and modern. Leon’shair is a bit shaggy, parted off center. He wears tactical pants, a tight-fitting dark navy shirt, and combat boots. His accessories include tactical gloves, a shoulder holster, thigh holsters attached to a tactical belt, and plenty of weapons.
Zoe Baker from Resident Evil 7: Biohazard
Zoe Baker (voiced by Giselle Gilbert) is a character in Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. Zoe’s parents and brother are victims of Eveline’s mind control, which Zoe manages to evade by reading a letter from Mia Winters. She helps Mia’s husband Ethan escape her family’s clutches, which eventually results in punishment in the form of crystallization by Eveline. To recreate Zoe’s look, you can either choose to dress as she does herself, or emulate her crystallized form. The first is fairly simple, requiring loose-fitting jeans, a tank top, and loafers. If you’re up for the challenge of being crystallized, a rhinestone-studded bodysuit with a white wig and makeup to match can help replicate the creepy and ethereal appearance from the game.
Carla Radames from Resident Evil 6
Dr. Carla Radames (voiced by Courtenay Taylor) is the person responsible for the creation of the C-Virus in the Resident Evil video game franchise. In Resident Evil 6, Dr. Radames undergoes a transformation as part of Derek Simmons’ Ada Project, which turns her into a doppelganger of Ada Wong. In her new appearance, Dr. Radames has short black hair and wears a blue dress with red scarf and belt. She also uses Ada’s signature Hookshot weapon. When seeking a gun to replicate the one she uses in the game, look for something futuristic-looking and mostly silver in color.
Ada Wong from Resident Evil 6
Ada Wong (voiced by Courtenay Taylor in RE6) has gone through several different iterations (and outfits) since she was introduced to the Resident Evil franchise. In RE6, she’s back with a slightly more practical look for her chosen profession. To recreate her appearance in this version, you’ll need black leather gloves, pants, and stiletto boots, as well as a red button-down shirt left open, with the sleeves rolled and the collar popped. A real crossbow is likely outside the budget for a costume, so stick with the pistol worn in her shoulder harness, or opt for a smaller, more toy-like version instead.
Rebecca Chambers from Resident Evil
In Resident Evil, Rebecca Chambers is an officer of the Raccoon City Police Department’s Special Tactics And Rescue Service (S.T.A.R.S.) unit, alongside fellow officer Chris Redfield, who gets trapped in a zombie-infested mansion. She makes her first appearance as a protagonist in Resident Evil Zero.
Ada Wong from Resident Evil 2
In Resident Evil, Ada Wong is an industrial spy who covertly collects information from biohazard incidents. She works as an operative for shadowy organizations, but won’t hesitate to betray them to follow her own true purpose. Ada’s even been known to bail out Leon S. Kennedy on occasion.
Jill Valentine from Resident Evil 1
Jill Valentine (voiced by Una Kavanagh) is a former member of the Special Tactics and Rescue Service (S.T.A.R.S.), an elite unit of the Raccoon Police Department, in the Resident Evil video game series. Jill eventually leaves S.T.A.R.S. and co-founds the Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance. Though Jill has had several different costumes throughout the series, her first appearance is one of her most iconic, wearing a blue beret and matching uniform. In the updated version of Resident Evil 1 released in 2002, Jill’s costume receives a more realistic upgrade, though it maintains many of the same components. Whichever version you choose to emulate, you’ll want to splurge on a S.T.A.R.S. patch to update your shirt, and make sure you wear fingerless gloves and sturdy combat boots.
Chris Redfield from Resident Evil Village
Chris Redfield (voiced by Jeff Schine) returns in Resident Evil Village, attempting to save Rosemary Winters from an evil bioweapon named Miranda. This also puts him at odds with Ethan Winters throughout the game. Chris’ look has been updated since his original introduction in the series. Whether you decide to go for his more tactical or casual outfit, some of the pieces will remain the same, including the gloves, turtleneck, and boots. For his more casual look, you’ll pair these with black jeans and a peacoat, while you’ll swap out for a pair of tactical pants and a low-profile chest rig if you decide you’d like to recreate his more military-inspired apparel. Refill cartridges for an airsoft gun can help fill out the rig for a more complete look.
