Bad-ass woman warrior costumes and armor for LARP, Ren faires, cosplay, or Halloween

I was thinking about the upcoming summer festival season, convention season, Renaissance faires, and of course, it’s never to early to plan your Halloween costume. And it dawned on me: this past year has been ALL about the woman warrior. From the Dora Milaje in Black Panther to Wonder Woman to Captain Phasma to Tessa Thompson’s epic Valkyrie, bad-ass women in armor are where it’s at.

So I went a-hunting for some not-too-revealing, super kick-ass woman warrior costumes and armor for all your LARPing, convention, Ren faire, cosplay, or sexy role play needs. Here are some of the best I found…

  1. …and to think that when I was but a wee lass, the only girls’ costumes in the Sears Wish Book were:

    Nurse
    Bride/Miss America
    Cheerleader/Majorette
    Ballerina/Fairy

    (eyeroll)

    I would have killed for some of these Badass Babes costumes.
