Jamie Lee Curtis is one of Hollywood’s best known scream queens, and she may also be the coolest mom ever!
Curtis and her family went to the EVO Fighting Game Championships in Las Vegas this weekend as a graduation present for her son, Thomas. And to remain incognito at EVO, Curtis cosplayed as Vega from Street Fighter II!
In fact, Curtis’ entire family got in on the cosplay act. Her husband, Christopher Guest, suited up as Dr. Bosconovitch from the Tekken fighting game series, while Thomas put on DeeJay’s costume from Super Street Fight IV, and his sister, Annie, came as Makto from Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike!

It’s impressive enough that Curtis even knows who Vega is. That she and her family went through the effort to cosplay as a group is just fantastic, even if it was out of a desire to remain anonymous at EVO. Judging from Curtis’ follow-up tweets, she enjoyed spending time with her family at EVO while amidst the legion of gaming fans.

In the end, Curtis has hung up her claws as Vega. But perhaps she and her family will cosplay again in the future!
