Resident Evil cosplay came full circle earlier this week when actor Julia Voth decided to bring a certain S.T.A.R.S. officer to life. This may be the pinnacle of Jill Valentine cosplay, folks. Voth, as you may already know, is the real human being who portrayed Capcom’s leading lady in the GameCube remake of the original Resident Evil.
I believe what we’re witnessing here is a genuine Ouroboros. It’s not the same Uroboros that Wesker kept droning on about until he took a rocket to the face, but I’ll take Voth’s Valentine over a legion of leech monsters any day. Have a look at her in the gallery below.
The idea came from a fan who asked Voth to cosplay as the character she helped make iconic, even going so far as to give her a custom S.T.A.R.S beret. “I got to harness her energy and finally embody who I felt she was,” Voth told IGN.
In just a few weeks, we’ll be getting a double dose of old school survival horror when the Resident Evil 0 remaster arrives on January 19, along with the Origins Collection. Head over here for every horror game that’s expected this month.
