Since the ’90s, Lara Croft has been one of the most recognizable gaming figures in the world, and the Tomb Raider series has made her into an icon in the pop-cultural zeitgeist. Her globe-trotting adventures have spanned over a dozen games, each allowing fans to propel Lara into dangerous new missions, help her solve puzzles, and locate mysterious artifacts in fascinating cultures.

Lady Croft and the games have continued to endure in their appeal because her intrepid spirit, spunky personality, and their unique gameplay make fans feel like they are sharing in her adventures. Some passionate members of the Tomb Raider community have even taken their ardor a step further by putting together cosplays that let them become her, embodying the very ethos of what it means to be a true tomb raider.

10 The Artful Dodger

Tomb Raider gave young Lara Croft a new origin story and a new adventure, transforming the franchise for a new generation of gamers. Whereas the very first Tomb Raider game saw Lara a confident archaeologist already, the reboot showed her as a frightened teen who must forge her talents by a crucible of survival strategy.

The Artful Dodger (photo by beethy) has evoked the sheer emotional toll that the story takes on Lara, and how much she must rely on her grit and will to survive as much as her skill with a bow and arrow (one of many she develops in the game).

9 JennCroft

Since 2013, the latest series of games have introduced a legion of new fans to the Tomb Raider franchise, and where the reboot of Tomb Raider kicked it off, Rise of the Tomb Raider kept the excitement running as Lara honed her raiding abilities.

JennCroft (photo by JwaiDesign) perfectly captures Lara’s determined spirit and precise marksmanship with this well-articulated cosplay, wielding the modified recurve bow with extreme attention to detail. The action pose, combined with the snow flurries, give this shot an incredibly dynamic execution. JennCroft was even part of the Official Tomb Raider Cosplay Ambassador Program during the release of the game!

8 Ashe Cosplay

While the uninitiated might think a Lara Croft cosplay is easy to pull off, its simplicity is deceptive. And as anyone donning Croft’s thigh-holsters will explain, pulling it off comes down to attitude and personality just as much as precise costuming details.

Ashe Cosplay (photo Tess Yaney) brings together both Lara’s fierce independence and her plucky spirit and combines them with Lara’s classic outfit from the first four games in the Tomb Raider series. She looks at home in the dust-strewn wilderness (perhaps waiting to outrun a T-Rex), confident that she’ll be able to best any foes that get into her cross-hairs.

7 LegendOfUnderworld

Like the best gaming franchises, Tomb Raider is for everyone, and Lara’s adventures inspire fans from every walk of life. Her intrepid spirit, determination, and athleticism make her an incredible role model, and her cool gear and exciting lifestyle make her an aspiration.

Italian cosplayer LegendOfUnderworld has demonstrated that anyone can turn themselves into Lara Croft with the right look. In this action pose he’s recreated her ensemble from the Tomb Raider reboot series, with everything from her climbing ax and pendant from the third game, Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

6 Amber Nova

From an early age Lara has had an adventurous lifestyle, exploring exotic locales, carrying out daring feats of survival amidst countless dangers, and looking enviously beautiful the whole time. It’s not surprising that cosplayers want to spend their days outdoors emulating her.

Amber Nova looks exactly like Lara about to enter a tomb in a Cambodian forest, her wary eye out for hidden traps or lurking predators. She manages to look both tough and glamorous, one of the hallmarks of Lara in the early days.

5 Athora-X

When Tomb Raider was originally released in 1995 it instantly became a gaming sensation thanks to its iconic heroin and innovative grid-based levels, inspired by the real tombs of Ancient Egypt. Like an amalgamation of famous fictional characters Tank Girl and Indiana Jones, she was a butt-kicking archaeologist who knew how to take care of herself.

Athora-x (photo Darren Rowley) looks formidable and athletic as the globe-trotting adventurer, featuring her classic original outfit including teal top, tan shorts, and belt with the gold buckle and thigh holsters. To complete the look, she hasn’t missed anything, from Lara’s fingerless gloves and knapsack, to her particular round gold-framed sunglasses.

4 Mer

For some fans, the only movie that counts is Lara Croft: Tomb Raider starring Angelina Jolie, who remains one of the highest-paid performers in Hollywood. Known for her witty, stylish, and edgy version of Lara, it would be tough for anyone to imitate her charisma.

Photographer AlexCroftRus found the perfect subject in his sister, who happens to look a great deal like Jolie. What’s so striking about this cosplay is not only her uncanny resemblance but her attitude, which comes across as both haughty and sinister, a great combination for Lady Croft.

3 AlexanderMonster

Lara Croft: Tomb Raider – The Cradle of Life continued Angelina Jolie’s adventures as Lara Croft, this time with an exciting trip to China. Croft’s wardrobe expanded throughout the movie much like the games did, and her days in Shanghai were spent in this flashy ensemble

AlexanderMonster has managed to find the perfect golden silk paneled jacket with tiger and dragon detailing, and pairing it with the tan pants and brown thigh-holsters she wore in the movie. This isn’t an ensemble fans often get to see from the movie, and he’s recreated it with exacting standards.

2 Knightmage

Lara has to be ready for anything, from raiding the Pharaoh’s tombs of Ancient Egypt and the jungles of Peru, to exploring mystical Avalon. Her missions get her into some precarious situations, but her knowledge of ancient cultures, training in weapons and firearms, and incredible athleticism prepare her for anything that comes her way.

Despite being known for cosplaying characters like Spawn and Moon Knight, Knightmage looks like he’s ready to take on his next puzzle or boss fight in this classic Lara ensemble. Known as someone who can whip together a look from readily accessible materials, the secret to his technique is in the airbrushing of garments to give them a lived in texture.

1 DJ Croft

Most cosplayers grew up playing Tomb Raider games, whether back in the ’90s or in the latter half of the ’00s. As a character, Lara has become an indelible part of their formative years, even going so far as to inspire them as a person.

DJ Croft’s love of travel and adventure comes directly from Lara’s escapades, and whether it’s portraying her as an early survivalist like in Tomb Raider, or a fully formed adventurer like in the original games, he captures the essence of what makes her so special to so many fans.
