Grand Galloping Gala Cosplays

More awesome cosplay stuff for you all to be amazed at!  These were showcased over at the Animenext convention in New Jersey.  You can tell they put a lot of work into it! Rarity would be proud. 


I'll probably do another compilation for conventions/cosplays soon.  And as always, be sure to check out the Meetup post if you are interested in joining up with your fellow bronies for anything!  I update it as I get stuff, so It's definitely a post to follow/bookmark.

Also some Applejacks, because Applejacks are neat like that.

Also some names!: Rarity was M. Alice, Celestia was Windaria, Fluttershy was Cepia and Pinkie Pie was Morgan.

Okay, now you're just trolling us about your favorite pony Seth.

Trixie is not amused.

Pretty sharp. Pinkie Pie seems kind of crazy in the first pic, which seems all too fitting somehow.

ooouu.. What have we here? I love this Applejacks:)

DareDreamer said...

They all look beautiful! :)

Oh the Horror...

Pretty Epic cosplay. Also cool to see girls also like FIM.

@Anonymous yeah, chicks like Rainbow Dash, so they like MLP:FiM:)

Anonymous said...

Am I the only one that finds this really creepy?

BillyBatman said...

Wait, girls like MLP:FiM? This is news... mind blowing news...

Anonymous said...

@Anonymous I don't like any cosplay thing too, but.. c'mon! This is My Little Pony cosplay!:D

Anonymous said...

I don't see anything creepy about it. It's cosplaying and thats some damn good work on those customs.

Anonymous said...

Girls liking My Little Pony?! Next you'll be telling us that it's a show for 7 year old girls.

Anonymous said...

Fluttershy is.. nice.. And Pinkie Pie needs more STREAMERS!

Anonymous said...

Most disturbing thing I've seen all week.

Anonymous said...

@Anonymous Well Danny Ingram actually said on his last interview, that they're making FiM show for girls from 6 to 9 years old:D

I really wish I hadn't seen that...

See, these, I like, a LOT. (Very!) Well done cosplays, done by attractive people. What I can't handle are badly done cosplays done by ugly/fat people (i'm not talking borderline/average, I mean people who clearly don't take care of themselves, except for helping themselves to another serving, or sitting on their ass all day), which turn the whole "cosplay" ideal into a negatively viewed staple of cons.

+100 intermuffins to all of you. Damn fine work. Hopefully this will encourage more! :-)

Star Gazer said...

These are pretty good, I like how outside of the outfits and what not they kept it relatively simple. They also probably had to put a heck of a lot of time into those outfits since they came out really well made.

sailorangei said...

I went bananas looking for the Gala girls on Sunday. They saw us on Saturday (I was with the Applejacks with the others) while in Cinderella costumes and told us about the Gala outfits.

Gah. Lovely work. Wish I had caught them.

Anonymous said...

Am i the only one who thinks this is creepy...

Andrew said...

Wow, those Gala girls are amazing. It would be cool if they got Twilight, Rainbow Dash, and Applejack too.

No, you aren't.

This is probably the only cosplay I can view and not have my skin crawl. Nary a pair of fuzzy ears or stupid wings in sight, and the people are the same gender as the characters they represent.

@Anonymous
No sir you are not. Blech

Max said...

MLP cosplay is a little creepy, but Geijinka are just fine. Very well done. Celestia especially looks good.

VFX Kid said...

Ok, yes, this is kinda weird. But if you can't appreciate it aesthetically, then at least appreciate the effort they put into it.

Anonymous said...

Saw these on deviantART - The one dressed as Rarity is the author of a pretty popular manga by the name of Bizenghast, FYI.

bobbin the unicorn said...

lol the applejacks are eating applejacks XD

love the celestia costume

Anonymous said...

The cutie mark on that dress needs to be technically accurate; Celestia has eight flares on her cutie mark, not six.

Geno Garon said...

I was at AnimeNext, and I saw these girls in action. They should be praised for their hard work and dedication. TRUST ME, people can produce horrible MLP cosplays, and these girls did exactly the opposite.

Anonymous said...

Very nice costumes. -DDS.

kefmaster said...

THAT PINKIE!!! PLEASE BE MAI WAIFU!!

Anonymous said...

Very nice job! The people saying these creep them out haven't seen truly bad MLP cosplay.

BronyMike said...

Pinkie is best pony always, and damn her outfit's well done in this. They all are.

Anonymous said...

WHAT
ABOUT
RAINBOW DASH????????

Anonymous said...

Not only are the costumes great, the cosplayers are in character.

Terrible Fanart Brony said...

Humanized ponies/humans dressing up like ponies ... scare me. I don't know why - they just do.

Anonymous said...

These are great outfits. I fail to see what is so off-putting about any of this. Much ado about nothing, what?

Aquaria said...

These gals look great. Very, very well done, imo. :D

I also fail to see what is so creepy about these outfits. The Gala dresses translate perfectly into human dresses, as proven here. Nothing creepy at all. If you didn't know about FiM, you would never know they were cosplaying My Little Ponies.

Krys said...

Thank you so much for posting this! I'm the Celestia in these photos. Making these dresses was a fun project for us, and it was wonderful meeting other fans of the show! :)

M. Alice said...

I'm the Rarity in these pics and I'd like to thank everyone for their kind words. We all worked so very hard on these costumes to make them something that everyone would like, so it's nice to see fellow bronies approve! :3

Morgan said...

Pinkie Pie, reporting in! Thanks for liking these, People Who Liked Our GGG Costumes! We had tons of fun wearing these~ So sad I forgot my confetti poppers, tho!

Craig T. said...

I'm actually going to a Convention in July... Maybe I'll find some cosplayers there!

Heartmend said...

This is awesome! They all did a great job! :D

Anonymous said...

I have been waiting since art of the dress for this because if I was a girl I would do this.

This is just so good.

Paula said...

I'm the Fluttershy, and I'd also like to thank all of you for the kind comments! We all love MLP and had a lot of fun dressing up as our favorite characters, so I'm really happy you like them too! Hopefully someday we'll have a full gala group with everypony!

PterosaurPony said...

Oh you guys are only getting creeped out because deep down inside you know...you can never dress as pony.

These are such lovely costumes, well translated.

I'd love to cosplay as a pony, but I pry never will. It seems whenever a larger girl tries it all there tends to be is negativity. :c

Anonymous said...

The facial expressions move it from pretty good to awesome.

Anonymous said...

IMO the real appeal of these is that they are very classy in comparison to the more 'furry'-like outfits. Very well executed.

Anonymous said...

What's up with all the meanness in these comments? They look great and their costumes are well-constructed. This is a huge improvement in costume quality from the pony cosplay we've seen in previous posts. I've been wanting to cosplay as Pinkie Pie but I don't think I'll ever be able to top these guys in terms of costume quality.

Also, to the person who's upset that Celestia's cutie mark has six sun flares instead of eight, that was a ridiculously nitpicky and anally retentive remark to make.

Anonymous said...

@Anonymous
I don't think that person was being nitpicky about the cutie mark, I think they were quoting Twilight Sparkle when she says in Art of the Dress, "Orion should have three stars in his belt, not four." She was just changing the quote to apply it here as a joke :3

Krys said...

Oh, the cutie mark! I realize now that I was accidentally using a fan-made vector of Celestia as a reference, and now I can clearly see that the official mark has eight flares instead of six. I guess we both made the same mistake!

I will be wearing Celestia again in July, and the mark will most certainly be changed by then to reflect the proper number of flares. My apologies! Thank you all for your help! :3

Cosplayers? Really? How far this site has sunk.

Good cosplayers dressing up for a themed party/celebration?

I wish I could marry that Pinkie Pie girl...
We could be happy... FOREVER... *cry*

James Corck said...

Rarity's cosplay is just mindblowing. They are all realy good, but Rarity's is above all of them.

Anonymous said...

what a perfect casting! they really played their parts :D

Anonymous said...

Come on guys, no need to burn out fellow bronies by bein' uberly judgmental. Some of us might not like cosplaying and that's okay, but it won't kill us to just close the window before we say something we'll regret.

Besides, what's the difference between wearing appropriate character costumes to devoting weeks to making a pony flash game? Or sewing a pony doll for nine hours? Or baking baked bads cupcakes straight from a cartoon show? We all just end up using our own -inherent- talents to express our appreciation for the show, and that's equal to just being ourselves, right?

I might not be into cosplaying in general, but great job girls! You done Rarity proud~ ;)

Kujiiro said...

Two Applejacks eating Applejacks... and the world is still intact. I am amazed.

reynard61 said...

I love the Princess Celestia costume! Now you just need a Princess Luna costume to go with it.

Lurks-no-More said...

Great cosplay! I'm positively surprised how well Pinkie Pie's outfit translates to something human-wearable. :)

isabeauthered said...

I know the Princess Celestia. She worked really hard on her costume. I think they're all gorgeous! I don't understand why people are saying it's creepy or that cosplay making ED sink low, but no one objects when people draw the ponies in human form. And what about fanfiction? Some of the MLP fanfiction I've seen out there is WAY creepier than any cosplay I've ever seen.

Anonymous said...

They all look great!

Xael said...

Very nice cosplays ... :D...well done :D

Hiro said...

Cool! The Applejack on the right was at Anime North.
I like how the box of Applejacks says "The Ultimate Rivalry Has Begun."

Doctor What said...

I cannot believe that I missed this. I was pre-registered, pre-paid, and ready to go to AnimeNEXT. At the last moment I got sick. I was disappointed then, and I'm REALLY disappointed now. Anyway, I'm happy to know that there are some New Jersey bronies out there besides myself.

ProfesorRod said...

Not featured in the post, a pic of Flutterage :P
Just kidding, you look great!


I'm actually surprised seeing some comments. Despite of how we are brandishing our flags of tolerance, I find it sad how they get thrown to the sidelines when some of you see cosplayers, 'weabos', furries, etc in "your fandom". But I guess you have some rep to keep, being that you are the new kids on the block.

DJ Midli said...

Final image, AJ to the right was at anime north! such a great cosplayer and great all-round gal!
