Amanda Dawn, a.k.a. JediManda, is a cosplayer who always manages to dress like some of my favorite characters. I first came across her costumes when she dressed like Bee of Bee and Puppycat, and I’ve watched her dress as Sith Elsa, Game of Thrones characters, Disney princesses, and so much more since then. She’s been cosplaying for a few years, picking up skills such as making props with foam. She’s a killer seamstress as you can see in this elegant and queenly costume:

I am all about that flowing Cersei Lannister wig.

I call this picture living your dreams. If I could go back and tell my kid self that wearing a mermaid tail was something she could do one day if she wanted to, she would flip out.

You can see a sampling of more Amanda’s impressive in the work in the gallery below. You’ll see Ahsoka from Star Wars Rebels, Mary Poppins, Jean Grey, and more. Then hop to Facebook and Instagram to keep up with all her work.

Are you a cosplayer or cosplay photographer? I’d like to feature your portfolio in an upcoming edition of Cosplay Friday. If you’re interested, please reach out to me via email at [email protected]. Send me the photos you’d like me to feature (with credits for the cosplayers and/or photographers if you have them, please, because I like to give credit where it’s due), and then I’ll send you back a release form. It’s easy and painless, I promise.
